• Enhancing Higher Order Thinking Skills Among Inservice Science Teachers Via Embedded Assessment (2009, background): “Two focused on science teachers’ aspects (Dori and Barnea 1997; Zacharia 2003) and three related to students’ learning outcomes (Barab et al. 2000; Williamson and Abraham 1995; Wu et al. 2001).”
• High School Student Perceptions of the Utility of the Engineering Design Process: Creating Opportunities to Engage in Engineering Practices and Apply Math and Science Content (2014, background): “Previous research has demonstrated that engaging in design can support students in representing (and hence learning) disciplinary content (Harel and Papert 1992) as well as improving student motivation, ownership, and engagement (Barab et al. 2000; Barnett 2005; Hmelo et al. 2000).”
• Addressing children's alternative frameworks of the Moon's phases and eclipses (2002, methodology): “The questions were derived from the existing alternative conception literature and from our previous work ( Barab, Hay, Barnett, & Keating, 2000; Barnett, Keating, Barab, & Hay, 2000; Sadler, 1987; Sneider & Ohadi, 1998; Treagust & Smith, 1989).”
• Design-Based Research: Putting a Stake in the Ground (2004, background): “For example, Barab, Hay, Barnett, and Keating (2000) conducted design-based research in a university classroom context, iteratively refining course materials each semester so as to advance a participatory learning framework that was conceptually rich and theoretically grounded.”
• Inquiry in Interaction: How Local Adaptations of Curricula Shape Classroom Communities (2004, background): “Certainly the first half of the COP concept, community, is a broad and often ambiguous term that can appropriately be applied to a range of social groups from ideal communities, such as nations (Wertsch, 1991) to microcommunities such as classrooms ( Barab et al., 2000; Brown & Campione, 1994; Kafa”
• Modelling, teachers' views on the nature of modelling, and implications for the education of modellers (2002, background): “Barab et al. (2000) had university students re-create the dynamic model of the solar system by the use of virtual-reality modelling tools.”
