  1. Prospective elementary teachers must engage in the science and engineering practices as learners of science before studying the pedagogies that prepare them to plan and implement science instruction. One way to enhance scientific literacy competence is by facilitating model-based inquiry instruction. Teachers possessing modeling and representational competence and knowledge of “epistemology of science” may carry out model-based inquiry with fidelity motivating students’ participation to construct written, oral, and visual (i.e., model) explanations and representations of phenomena that reveal “epistemologies for science” and conceptual understanding. We propose situating model-based inquiry in a physical science course for teachers where prospective elementary teachers are learners of science in a practice-centered environment. How do prospective elementary teachers explain and model physical phenomena?
