Ryoo, Kihyun; Bedell, Kristin – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2017
Although extensive research has shown the educational value of different types of interactive visualizations on students' science learning in general, how such technologies can contribute to English learners' (ELs) understanding of complex scientific concepts has not been sufficiently explored to date. This mixed-methods study investigated how…

Rizzo, Karen L.; Taylor, Jonte C. – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2016
In comparison to the past, more students with disabilities are being included in the general education classroom for science instruction. Though inquiry-based instruction has not shown to be an effective practice for students with disabilities, it is vastly becoming the dominant practice in science education. The purpose of this review is to…

Hrin, Tamara N.; Milenkovic, Dušica D.; Segedinac, Mirjana D. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
Many studies in the field of chemical education have emphasized the fact that students at secondary level have considerable difficulties in mastering organic chemistry contents. As a result, they choose to learn these contents in a "rote" way. Taking this fact into consideration, the first aim of our study was to help students in…
