Agriscience Teachers

There is documented need for improvement of science comprehension amongst high school students in the United States, and inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a recommended teaching strategy to improve science comprehension.  Several researchers have focused on examination of learning outcomes for students, but few have researched the concerns of teachers who may wish to adopt IBL methodology.  This study used the stages of concern questionnaire to profile ten Midwest high school agriscience teachers’ concerns regarding implementation of IBL, before and after participation in a year-long professional development program where IBL lessons were developed and used in the participants’ high school classrooms. Results indicated that while some participants showed a positive progression in their stage of concern, most professional development program participants did not progress in their concern stage, and some developed increased resistance to IBL as a teaching strategy. This suggests that teachers may need more robust and tailored support when adopting IBL for their classrooms.

AbstractPediatric surgery is a diverse specialty with unique challenges and high social importance. There is a wealth of opportunities for professional development and academic achievements in caring for children with complex and variable surgical conditions. Throughout time, surgical career pathways have exacted considerable demands for a multitude of skills and significant personal commitment, in which pediatric surgery is no exception. However, the rigors of the working environment are balanced by real opportunities for meaningful professional contributions and high levels of career satisfaction. This manuscript attempts to uncover the meaning of a career in pediatric surgery from several perspectives, with consideration of the roles of history, philosophy, research, and education in shaping the profession into the context of modern practice.
