Abstract

Abstract: Science education stakeholders worldwide are engaged in efforts to support teachers' noticing and making sense of students' thinking in science. Here we introduce the design of a science teaching video club and present a study of its implementation. The current design extends prior research on video clubs as a form of professional development for supporting mathematics teachers. Results indicate that the current design supported science teachers in noticing and discussing students' thinking in sustained and meaningful ways. Highlights: Presents design-based research building on prior video club work. Offers a new design for a science teaching video club. Describes two unique design features tied to teacher noticing outcomes. Teachers' use of wearable video technology is significant to this design. Results show video club design supports sustained focus on students' thinking.
