In order to address the underlying deficiencies in teacher pedagogical design capacity (PDC) for practices, we developed a lesson study (LS) based professional learning (PL) program, which we implemented at a low socio-economic status (SES) school district. Using classical content analysis and supplementary assessments, I investigated the impact this LS based PL program had on teacher PDC for scientific practices (particularly the practice of argumentation), student argumentation competency, and teacher self-efficacy. My results demonstrate that teacher PDC for the several scientific practices, particularly scientific modeling, argumentation, and communicating findings, increased due to our PL program. However, student argumentation competency and teacher self-efficacy remained stagnant, possibly due to the short timescale (1 year) of our intervention and the lack of support from upper-level administrators. 2019-05-22 English text Wright State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1558446612124409 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1558446612124409 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
