We are pleased to share the publication of a new article by our research group in Science & Education:
Ben Simon, H., Pshenichny-Mamo, A., & Tsybulsky, D. (2026). Teaching nature of science: A pedagogy of practice framework for teachers’ professional development. Science & Education. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11191-026-00750-8
The article presents a practice-based pedagogical framework for supporting science teachers’ professional development in teaching the Nature of Science (NOS).
The study explores how teachers incorporated NOS instruction into their classrooms through authentic, reflective, and context-based teaching practices. The findings demonstrate how teachers adopted and adapted new pedagogical strategies for NOS instruction, with storytelling-based approaches emerging as particularly meaningful and engaging for both teachers and students.
This work contributes to ongoing research and practice in science teacher education and offers new insights into effective approaches for supporting NOS teaching in schools.
