  11. Accessible Professional Development for Teaching Aquatic Science Inquiry

  12. TSI Professional Development Cohorts • Kaua‘i • 2012-13 • O‘ahu • 2010-12 • 2012-13 • Maui • 2011-12 • Hawai‘i • 2011-12

  13. Preliminary Teacher Inquiry Results • Inquiry Teaching Assessment = significant pre-post gains (t = 2.25; p = 0.034; effect size = 0.51) • Pedagogical Content Knowledge Scale = significant pre-post gains (t = 2.36; p = .024; effect size = .39) • Self-Efficacy Scale = significant pre-post gains (t = 9.24; p < .001; effect size = 1.35). • On post-cohort interviews, teachers reported TSI provided very helpful tools and approaches for teaching and learning the scientific process.

  14. Preliminary Teacher Content Results • Content scores increases in pre-post results across all modules (Physical, Chemical, Biological, and Ecological) • from 62%-71% to 72%-82%. • All four pre-post comparisons (combined across cohorts) were statistically significant at the .05 level (effect sizes ranged from .46 to 1.08).)

  15. Preliminary Student Results • Nature of Science Assessment = significant pre-post gains (t = 6.38; p < .001; effect size = 0.28) • Nature of Science Scale = gain pre-post of 0.14 (10-point scale) • Students in Cohorts 4 and 5 will also complete a Student Self-Efficacy in Science Scale as well as module specific Student Content Assessments.
