  • Aligning Ideas + Models in Cognition & Instruction

    Computational tools hold promise for science education, but each tool models information in a different way. This paper explores ways to connect what students know to the language and structures of different modeling tools.

  • Sci Educ: When Models are “Right but Wrong”

    Agent-based modeling can encourage students to think about scientific mechanisms. But to refine students’ understandings toward accurate explanations, comparing their models with data is just as important.

  • The Data Science Education Fellowship

    This postdoctoral opportunity brings together faculty from College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS), the Berkeley School of Education (BSE), and the Social Sciences D-Lab. These faculty will support three (3) fellows as they study the teaching and learning of Data Science, with attention to both instruction and content, and to pathways across educational…

  • Fitzmaurice Recognized at ISLS ’24!

    Helen’s full paper, “Activism or bureaucracy: What are we teaching students through local climate action projects?” won a Best Paper Award at the 2024 Meeting of the International Society for the Learning Sciences. Her paper examines the ways that teachers’ framing and enactment of student action projects shift over time toward different “orientations-of-action,” or ways…

  • Exploring Local Impacts and Global Change w/ Data

    A new paper describes one of the units developed as part of the Writing Data Stories project, focused on connecting the local and global effects of climate change through storytelling and data.

  • CoRE @ 2024 Conferences

    The CoRE lab has been having fun sharing our work at the BSE Research Day here in Berkeley, and at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association in Philadelphia! Brendan presents his research on teacher learning about critical computing at the Graduate Student Research Roundtable at AERA’24. See here for a full list…

  • Henrique Recognized at SIGCSE ’24

    This weekend, CoRE Lab member and BSE PhD student Brendan Henrique won first place in the Graduate Student Research competition at SIGCSE 2024! Brendan reported his ongoing analysis of how K-12 teachers learn about critically conscious approaches to teaching computing across the curriculum. As part of this work, he designed and taught a summer course…
