What Can Educational Case Studies Reveal about How Teachers Implement the Model of Educational Reconstruction in Biology Instruction?

Original language description

The Model of Educational Reconstruction (MER) tightly links subject matter analysis and research on pupils’ preconceptions to design the teaching and learning environments of school science subjects, including biology. The paper will be focused on a qualitative analysis of how comprehensively biology teachers implement components of the Model of Educational Reconstruction into their lessons, i.e. whether they take advantage of pupils’ preconceptions in designing instruction of different biology topics. The multiple-case study design with a theoretical replication was used in this study, together 18 individual case studies were included in the analysis. Each case study was based on a video record of a biology lesson and selected teaching and learning situations were qualitatively analyzed by 3A procedure (annotation – analysis – alteration), which enabled an in-depth assessment of the integrity of the instruction using the conceptual structure diagram. Transcripts and conceptual structure diagrams of teaching and learning situations were analyzed using the principles of grounded theory and inductive approach to identify and categorize components of MER and the level of its implementation in each educational case study. The multiple-case study results revealed several different levels of MER implementation into biology lessons ranging from solely diagnostics of pupils’ preconceptions without their further use in the instruction to comprehensive use of MER in the design of teaching and learning environment in the analyzed lesson. The complex incorporation of MER into biology lessons with an emphasis on (re)construction of pupils’ pre-scientific conceptions was very rare, as it was identified only in one educational case study. Particular examples of MER implementation into biology instruction will be highlighted in the paper.
