Abstract
This study employed designed-based research to explore formative design as both a methodology for PD and as the focus of the PD content. Five 7-h PD sessions were offered to 220 teachers across five schools in India. Results indicated that formative design was useful for planning, implementing, and iterating PD that was meaningful for participants and that teachers were open to aspects of the design process, but struggled with making changes to their pedagogy.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
