Penn State Science Education offers many exciting opportunities for prospective teachers, practicing teachers, and educational researchers. Our undergraduate and graduate programs are characterized by a high degree of collaboration and mentorship. Through experience in coursework, research, and teaching, students acquire the knowledge, dispositions, and skills to excel as teachers and scholars.

Graduate students in SCIED pursue research tailored to their specific interests. Faculty and students are currently researching teacher knowledge and learning, scientific argumentation and inquiry, philosophy of science and science teaching, environmental education, classroom discourse, science teacher education, and the uses of technology in science teaching and learning. These research interests include work in a nationally renowned Professional Development School and through projects in the Center for Science and the Schools.
