(2006, background): “Researchers are also examining the ways in which project-based, “authentic” science inquiries, such as a study of a local stream, may better support student learning (Blumenfeld et al. 2000; Krajcik 2001; Woolnough 2000).”

(2003, background): “…issues, they have been extremely resistant to efforts by professional development programs and systemic reform projects to address them (Stein, Silver, & Smith, 1998; Corcoran et al., 1998; Smylie et al., 2001; Gallego, Hollingsworth, & Whitenack, 2001; Blumenfeld, Fishman, Krajcik, & Marx, 2000).”
Standardized Test Outcomes for Students Engaged in Inquiry-Based Science Curricula in the Context of Urban Reform. (2008, background): “Successful implementation of instructional innovation may also be challenged by the cultural, policy and management environment of urban districts ( Blumenfeld, Krajcik, Fishman, Marx, & Soloway, 2000 ).”
Creating a Framework for Research on Systemic Technology Innovations (2004, methodology): “Alternatively, when teachers did feel comfortable enough to make modifications, the changes sometimes undercut the intention of the innovation, suchaswhenteacherswouldomit technologyusealtogetherdue to lackofcomfort with or availability of technology (Blumenfeld et al., 2000).”
Why Do Teachers Not Practice What They Believe Regarding Technology Integration? (2008, background): “It is inadequate to focus solely on one aspect of a reform (Blumenfeld et al., 2000).”
Environmental Detectives: PDAs as a window into a virtual simulated world (2002, background): “Further, research from the adoption and diffusion of curriculum materials [1][8] suggests that in successful educational implementations, teachers reinvent curricular materials to meet the demands of local constraints.”
Collective cognitive responsibility for the advancement of knowledge (2002, background): “3 Thus this faster-than-usual (Blumenfeld et al. 2000) uptake of new ideas and school-based innovation is attributable to multiple factors, which surely extend beyond those I have listed.”
Supporting Science Teacher Learning: The Role of Educative Curriculum Materials (2002, methodology): “Project-based science curriculum materials for a unit on force and motion were developed as part of the larger study ( Blumenfeld, Fishman, Krajcik, Marx, & Soloway, 2000; Singer et al., 2000).”
Handbook Of Design Research Methods In Education: Innovations In Science, Technology, Engineering, And Mathematics Learning And Teaching (2018, background): “We affiliate with a group of researchers who believe that this failure or success of innovations in education is not the result of an intrinsic match or mismatch between technological innovations and educational problems, but rather a failure of past research to address the problems of scaling-up in”
