The strategic importance of science and the need for high-quality science teaching is being highlighted at national and state levels. A variety of science education initiatives have been funded by government to address this priority. Policy makers and curriculum developers rightly demand that the advocacy of educational innovations be supported by empirical evidence, which, to now, has been limited by available research methods. This study exploits recent advances in the sophistication of educational theories, research designs and available technology to generate much more compelling evidence of the effectiveness of specific classroom practices for improving student knowledge and understanding of science.

国家和州一级正在强调科学的战略重要性和对高质量科学教学的需要。政府资助了各种科学教育倡议，以解决这一优先事项。政策制定者和课程开发人员正确地要求，教育创新的倡导必须得到经验证据的支持，而到目前为止，经验证据一直受到现有研究方法的限制。这项研究利用教育理论、研究设计和可用技术的最新进展来产生更令人信服的证据，证明具体的课堂实践在提高学生对科学的知识和理解方面的有效性。
