Salvador Gallegos-Martínez; Kristen Aideé Pérez-Alvarez; Grissel Trujillo-de Santiago; Mario Moisés Alvarez – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2025
Purpose: Hands-on training in tissue engineering is often associated with specialized labs and expensive equipment, such as CO[subscript 2] incubators. To minimize the use of costly commercial incubators and provide a more vivid engineering experience in a biology lab, we present a hands-on project that introduces medium to large groups of…

Angela S. Kelling; Nicholas J. Kelling – Teaching of Psychology, 2025
Background: Given the increased emphasis on active learning in psychology, it is important to use data to enhance these experiences. In learning courses, both live animals and virtual training laboratories have been found to enhance learning, but less research has examined student preferences. Generally, live rats are preferred, but students may…

Meryssa Piper; Jessica Frankle; Sophia Owens; Blake Stubbins; Lancen Tully; Katherine Ryker – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
Rock and mineral labs are fundamental in traditional introductory geology courses. Successful implementation of these lab activities provides students opportunities to apply content knowledge. Inquiry-based instruction may be one way to increase student success. Prior examination of published STEM labs indicates that geology labs, particularly…

Paolo Casari; Sabrina Maniero; Andrea Rosani; Federica Picasso; Anna Serbati – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2025
Contribution: An innovative teaching experience carried out at the University of Trento using team-based learning (TBL) in a large computer networks class. The impact of TBL on the students' learning and satisfaction was investigated. Background: Active learning pedagogies, including TBL, play an important role in enhancing higher-order cognitive…

Muhua Zhang; Chien-Yuan Su – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is expected to create a greater sense of presence that might improve students' laboratory learning experiences. However, little research has verified the influence of presence on students' perceptions toward immersive laboratory learning. The current study, which is based on the expectation confirmation model,…

Sohail Ahmed Soomro; Halar Haleem; Bertrand Schneider; Georgi V. Georgiev – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2025
This study presents a monocular approach for capturing students' prototyping activities and interactions in digital-fabrication-based makerspaces. The proposed method uses images from a single camera and applies object reidentification, tracking, and depth estimation algorithms to track and uniquely label participants in the space, extracting both…

Wei-Zhao Shi; Chunying Zuo; Jingying Wang – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Previous research has shown that in prehigher education stages, inquiry-based teaching is not sufficient for forming a mature understanding of the nature of science (NOS). However, there is relatively little research conducted on colleges. Inquiry-based teaching should not overlook cognitive frameworks, as students' limited scientific reasoning…

Hamideh Talafian; Morten Lundsgaard; Maggie S. Mahmood; Eric Kuo; Timothy J. Stelzer – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Although most teachers recognize the importance of taking investigative, open-ended approaches to students' learning experiences, implementing them in high school classes can be challenging for teachers. In this work, we analyzed data from multiple sources from a teaching Community of Practice (CoP) to investigate (a) barriers to taking an…

Elizabeth B. Vaughan; Saraswathi Tummuru; Jack Barbera – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
Students' expectations for their laboratory coursework are theorized to have an impact on their learning experiences and behaviors, such as engagement. Before students' expectations and engagement can be explored in different types of undergraduate chemistry laboratory courses, appropriate measures of these constructs must be identified, and…

Andri Ioannou; Ourania Miliou; Maria Adamou; Andreas Kitsis; Stella Timotheou; Aekaterini Mavri – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Despite the opportunities that makerspaces and FabLabs offer for the development of 21st-century skills, understanding how these skills are being practiced and assessed in these spaces has been proven challenging. In this work, we address this gap through an interview study investigating 13 maker-educators' practices across different makerspaces…

Chuang Chen; Siti Nazleen Abdul Rabu; Nurullizam Jamiat – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Integrating virtual laboratories (VLs) with science education promotes inquiry-based learning by providing an interactive, dynamic environment in which students actively engage with scientific concepts. While previous research highlights the effectiveness of VLs as tools in the IBL process, few studies have embedded the entire inquiry process…

Michal Sigron; Dorothy Langley; Stanislaw Dylak; Edit Yerushalmi – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Response to the continuing call to integrate scientific inquiry activities into high school education has taken different forms varying in student ownership, physical setting, time span, and mentoring resources. Important issues are how students perceive central dimensions of their experience, and the extent to which the inquiry framework design…
