Fortunately, due to the untiring efforts of a small number of leaders in the qualitative resea...

Characterizing Curriculum Coherence

THE CENTER for Curriculum Materials in Science (CCMS) and the Technology Enhanced Learning in Science (TELS) Center promote the design of curriculum materials and technology tools that help students develop an understanding of important connections among science ideas and the inclination and ability to use those ideas to make sense of the world. Researchers at both centers analyze the fragmente...
