A Framework for K-12 Science Education

Practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas.

Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field.

A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice.

A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.

Downloading and Using eBooks from NAP

What is an ebook.

An ebook is one of two file formats that are intended to be used with e-reader devices and apps such as Amazon Kindle or Apple iBooks.

Why is an eBook better than a PDF?

A PDF is a digital representation of the print book, so while it can be loaded into most e-reader programs, it doesn't allow for resizable text or advanced, interactive functionality. The eBook is optimized for e-reader devices and apps, which means that it offers a much better digital reading experience than a PDF, including resizable text and interactive features (when available).

Where do I get eBook files?

eBook files are now available for a large number of reports on the NAP.edu website. If an eBook is available, you'll see the option to purchase it on the book page.

Description

An ad hoc committee will develop and define a framework to guide the development of science education standards.  In conducting the study and preparing its report, the committee will draw on current research on science learning as well as research and evaluation evidence related to standards-based education reform. This will include existing efforts to specify central ideas for science education including the National Science Education Standards, AAAS Benchmarks, the 2009 NAEP Framework, and the redesign of the AP courses by the College Board.

This conceptual framework developed by the committee will identify and articulate the core ideas in science around which standards should be developed by considering core ideas in the disciplines of science (life sciences, physical sciences, earth sciences and applied sciences) as well as cross-cutting ideas such as mathematization*, causal reasoning, evaluating and using evidence, argumentation, and model development.  The committee will illustrate with concrete examples how cross-cutting ideas may play out in the context of select core disciplinary ideas and articulate expectations for students’ learning of these ideas for at least three key grade levels. In parallel, the committee will develop a research and development plan to inform future revisions of the standards. Specifically in its consensus report, the committee will:

• Identify a small set of core ideas in each of the major science disciplines as well as those ideas that cut across disciplines using a set of criteria developed by the committee.
• Develop guidance on the implementation of the framework.
• Articulate how these disciplinary ideas and cross-cutting ideas intersect for at least 3 grade levels.
• Create examples of performance expectations.
• Discuss implications of various goals for science education (e.g. general science literacy, college preparation, and workforce readiness) on the priority of core ideas and articulation of leaning expectations
• Develop a research and development plan to inform future revisions of the standards.

* mathematizing is a technical term that means representing relationships in the natural world using mathematics.

Educational Research for Policy and Practice

Rizalyn Kolman

The Department of Education in the Philippines has undertaken initiatives to restructure the curriculum for secondary schools as part of its ongoing effort to improve the quality of learning. After a decade of study, the Department produced a new basic education curriculum, as the 2002 Basic Education Curriculum. All public schools in the country were mandated to implement the curriculum at the start of 2002–2003 school year. Makabayan (nationalistic or patriotic) is one of the learning areas in the Basic Education Curriculum along with English, Filipino, Science and Mathematics. Makabayan from First to Fourth Year is designed to develop the personal, social and work special skills of learners especially their interpersonal skills, empathy with other cultures, vocational efficiency, problem-solving, and decision-making in daily life, that is, to develop socio-cultural and politico-economic literacy. This paper describes the context and content of the Makabayan curriculum and the extent to which it develops in learners a sense of citizenship, that is, a healthy personal and national self-concept. To delimit scope, this paper focuses on the study of geography only as one of the components of Araling Panlipunan (Social Studies) in the secondary school Makabayan Curriculum, using the results of a study of third year high school students' learning of geographic knowledge and skills as bases of empirical data. Key Words: citizenship, geographic literacy and competency, Makabayan curriculum, secondary education

HEALTH (Grade 1 to Grade 10) K to 12 Curriculum Guide

The Kindergarten to Grade 12 (“K to 12”) Health curriculum aims to assist the Filipino learner in attaining, sustaining and promoting life-long health and wellness. The learning experience through the program provides opportunities for the development of health literacy competencies among students and to enhance their over-all wellbeing.

Health Education from Kindergarten to Grade 10 focuses on the physical, mental, emotional, as well as the social, moral and spiritual dimensions of holistic health. It enables the learners to acquire essential knowledge, attitudes, and skills that are necessary to promote good nutrition; to prevent and control diseases; to prevent substance misuse and abuse; to reduce health-related risk behaviors; to prevent and control injuries with the end-view of maintaining and improving personal, family, community, as well as global health.

Health Education emphasizes the development of positive heath attitudes and relevant skills in order to achieve a good quality of living. Thus, the focus on skills development is explicitly demonstrated in the primary grade levels. Meanwhile, a comprehensive body of knowledge is provided in the upper year levels to serve as a foundation in developing desirable health attitudes, habits and practices.

In order to facilitate the development of health literacy competencies , the teacher is highly encouraged to use developmentally-appropriate learner-centered teaching approaches. This includes scaffolding on student experience and prior learning; utilizing culture-responsive scenarios and materials; incorporating arts, and music in imparting health messages; engaging learners in meaningful games and cooperative learning activities; and using life skills and value-based strategies particularly in discussing sensitive topics such as substance abuse and sexuality. The teacher is also advised to use differentiated instruction in order to cater to the learners’ various needs and abilities.

Conceptual Framework of Health Education

Health content areas.

Injury Prevention, Safety and First Aid: Discusses the causes, costs, and prevention of accidents and injuries while performing various activities at home, in school or in the community. Prevention can be done through the promotion of safe environments, the development of safety programs, procedures and services, which includes first aid education and disaster preparedness programs.

Community and Environmental Health: Situates the learner as an integral part of the community and the environment, with a great responsibility of protecting the environment, with the support of individual and community actions and legislation promoting a standard of health, hygiene and safety in food and water supply, waste management, pollution control, pest control, as well as the delivery of primary health care.

Consumer Health: Focuses on the application of consumer knowledge and skills in the effective evaluation, selection and use of health information, products, and services.

Family Health: Covers information on the human life cycle and also on family dynamics that influence an individual’s development of ideals, values and standards of behavior with regard to sexuality and responsible parenthood.

Growth and Development: Emphasizes developmental milestones and health concerns during puberty and adolescence with focus on personal health and the development of self-management skills to cope with life’s changes.

Nutrition: Addresses the importance of eating healthy and establishing good eating habits especially for children and adolescents as a way to enhance health and prevent diseases.

Personal Health: Comprises personal health habits and practices that promote physical, mental, social, emotional, and moral-spiritual health and prevent or manage personal health issues and concerns.

Prevention and Control of Diseases and Disorders: Involves the prevention and control of both communicable and non-communicable diseases and disorders through the development of health habits and practices and the adoption of health programs supported by legislation with provisions on school and community health services.

Substance Use and Abuse: Highlights the prevention and control of the use, misuse, and abuse of substances and drugs by providing comprehensive information on the nature of abused substances, the negative impact of substance abuse on the individual, family and society in general; and the importance of learning and using resistance skills to protect oneself from drug risk-taking behaviors.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HEALTH CURRICULUM

Culture-responsive: Uses the cultural knowledge, prior experiences, and performance styles of the diverse student body to make learning more appropriate and effective for them (Gay, 2000).

Epidemiological: Relates to the incidence, prevalence and distribution of diseases in populations, including detection of the sources and causes of epidemics.

Health and Life skills-based: Applies life skills to specific health choices and behaviors.

Holistic: Analyzes the interrelationship among the factors that influence the health status, the areas of health, and the dimensions of health (physical, mental, social, emotional, moral and spiritual).

Learner-centered: Focuses on the student’s needs, abilities, interests, and learning styles with the teacher as a facilitator of learning. Preventive: Characterizes something that helps people take positive health action in order to prevent diseases and to achieve optimum health.

Rights-based: Advances the understanding and recognition of human rights, as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments.

Standards and outcomes-based: Requires students to demonstrate that they have learned the academic standards set on specific content and competencies.
