NGSS Survey Results: Preparing Preservice Teachers for NGSS Framework
Explore the outcomes of a survey evaluating how well teacher preparation courses equip preservice educators with the necessary skills for the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The survey identifies strengths in Teaching Disciplinary Core Ideas and areas for improvement in Crosscutting Concepts. Discover correlations between familiarity with NGSS and confidence in teaching from it, providing valuable insights for STEM teacher preparation programs.

NGSS Survey Results HOW WELL DO OUR TP CLASSES PREPARE PRESERVICE TEACHERS FOR THE NGSS?
What the Survey DID DO DID NOT DO Measured 5 latent variables (Science & Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, Teaching Disciplinary Core Ideas, Integration of the Three Dimensions, and Best Practices in Science Education) found to express the key constructs of the NGSS framework Measure how our STEM TP courses prepare preservice teachers for the CCSS Measure the totality of STEM TP needs Measured our level of confidence in how well our primary STEM TP course prepares preservice teachers for the NGSS
Participants & Reliability Participant by Course Category 25 N = 41 WWU = 13 EWU & Seattle Pacific = 10 21 20 15 Reliability, = .928 10 8 5 5 3 3 0 Science Methods Science Content Other Science Math Methods Math Content
What Did the Survey Tell Us? Strong in Teaching Disciplinary Core Ideas overall we feel pretty good about how well our courses are preparing preservice educators to teach the Disciplinary Core Ideas Weak in Crosscutting Concepts overall we feel the least confidence with the Crosscutting Concepts Correlation between Familiarity & Application there appears to be a relationship between how strongly we rate our personal understanding of the NGSS with how strongly we believe our classes prepare preservice educators to teach from them
