Sebastian Björnhammer; Iann Lundegård; Jakob Gyllenpalm – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2024
In science education, students need to work with laboratory elements that create conditions for them to learn to do science and experience the value of making meaning in this process. However, students rarely get to carry out investigations that resemble actual scientific practices. More often, they are encouraged to follow an already given…

Minchul Kim; Sangwoo Ha – Science & Education, 2024
Although Ohm's law contains various possibilities in teaching and learning scientific inquiry, it is rare for students to experience an authentic inquiry. Thus, we designed an open-ended in-depth inquiry about Ohm's law and made students conduct it. To do this, we developed a laboratory activity for students following a standard method of Ohm's…

Xu, Yanhui – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2023
This paper describes a model of mathematics bianshi teaching using one problem with several solutions, changes, and applications in an inquiry-based classroom. Based on the model of mathematics bianshi teaching, the author discusses a class-room experience where one Chinese mathematics teacher takes a simple plane geometry problem to guide…

Jenny Koce Matitaputty; Nanda Saputra; Loso Judijanto; Nugroho Susanto; Muhammad Hanif; Jems Sopacua; Muhammad Rijal Fadli – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2024
Digital history-based project-based learning (PjBL) in history learning is a learning medium that can provide a special attraction for students who can improve historical concept skills and historical awareness. However, there are still many teachers who have not used it, so it is very important to study it. This research aims to analyze the…

Abas Oya; I Gusti Putu Suharta; I Wayan Lasmawan; Desak Putu Parmiti; I Nyoman Jampel; I Made Candiasa – Journal of Science Learning, 2024
This bibliometric analysis investigates the impact of Project-Based Assessments (PBAs) on conceptual understanding in STEM education from 2019 to 2024. By examining a dataset of 996 publications, the study highlights significant fluctuations in research outputs and the evolving focus on educational methodologies, particularly noting an…

Soosloff, Elisa; Huey, Maryann; Alexander, Daniel S. – PRIMUS, 2023
In this reflection of teaching, we describe a series of activities that introduce the Taylor series through dynamic visual representations with explicit connections to students' prior learning. Over the past several decades, educators have noted that curricular materials tend to present the Taylor series in a way that students often interpret as…

Komang Setemen; I. Gede Sudirtha; I. Wayan Widiana – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2023
The results of online learning were not optimal, as evidenced by the unsatisfactory learning outcomes. These issues influenced students who had a poor understanding of concepts and those who were quick to learn. It was the reason for the study that aims to analyze the effectiveness of study, explore, implement, evaluate (SEIE) model e-learning…

Mingheng Li – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
Project-based learning (PBL) empowers students to become active learners. In this work computational reverse osmosis (RO) projects developed from industrial case studies and research were implemented in several chemical engineering courses to enhance student learning experience. Students not only gained knowledge in water treatment, but also…

Andrea C. Bardales; Quynh Vo; Dmitry M. Kolpashchikov – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
It has been shown that active learning strategies are effective in teaching complex STEM concepts. In this study, we developed and implemented a laboratory experiment for teaching the concepts of Boolean logic gates, molecular beacon probes, molecular computing, DNA logic gates, microRNA, and molecular diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, which…

Annamaria Miranda; Loredana Saliceto – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2024
Recent research in mathematics education shows that by exploring the properties of figures and making conjectures, especially through dynamic geometry software, students can better develop their understanding of concepts. Furthermore, comparing different geometric worlds and, within them, different representations enhances Euclidean knowledge. In…

Catherine Waite – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
This article reflects on the author's experience of developing a standalone geographies of sport module that is taught using an active blended learning (ABL) approach. The article argues that an ABL pedagogy is an effective way of teaching meaningful sports geography to undergraduate students. It discusses how the approach allows a diverse range…

Further analysis of the effectiveness of integrating project-based learning (PjBL) in Invertebrate Zoology courses to improve students' science process skills and conceptual understanding needs to be carried out. This research was aimed to analyze the integration of PjBL in the Invertebrate Zoology course on scientific process skills and…

Alistair Gilbert McInerny – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Understanding human behavior and reasoning is essential for developing successful instruction. Discipline-based education researchers have examined how students learn, informing the development of successful instructional strategies. Researchers have also identified barriers to the successful implementation of such strategies. This work utilizes…

Victoria Anne Greenwood – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Application of concept-based curriculum (CBC) in nursing programs has increased across the US in recent years. Previous studies have investigated the effect this transition has had on faculty and students alike. Exploration of the effects on graduation rates, NCLEX-RN pass rates, student retention rates, and commercial standardized examination…

Weiss, Kathleen A.; McDermott, Mark A.; Hand, Brian – Studies in Science Education, 2022
Educational initiatives in multiple disciplinary areas call for student engagement in the practice of argumentation (CCSSI, 2010a, 2010b; Mullis & Martin, 2017; NGSS Lead States, 2013; OECD, 2018). In science education, immersive argument-based inquiry (ABI) is one category of approaches which integrates argumentation in all classroom activity…
