Elementary science literature review

Description

In this report, we present a literature review of elementary science (see Glossary of Terms) and design technology (see Glossary of Terms) education research. The review is intended to provide direction to the elementary science working groups charged with the responsibility to revise the Alberta Elementary Science Program (1996) by reflecting current ideas reported in research literature. The review included journals (primarily from the years 2000-2006) that contained information about K-6 science education, K-6 design technology education, Aboriginal science education and K-6 French language science education. This range of journals reflected the current Alberta Elementary Science Program (1996) emphasis on science inquiry and problem solving through technology and a wish to take an inclusive approach to designing the new program.The literature review concludes with a section entitled "A Vision for the Future." In this section, we provide a summary list of well-supported ideas that have the potential to influence elementary science programs in Alberta for years to come. As with all ideas presented in the literature, complete consensus among researchers does not exist. However, these ideas are those that enjoy considerable support and should be given due consideration by those responsible for the Alberta program revision.
