ScottP. Buzzolani; Matthew J. Mistretta; Aleksandra E. Bugajczyk; Arun J. Sam; Samantha R. Elezi; Daniel L. Silverio – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
The ability to extract structural information from a drawing of a molecule is key to being successful in organic chemistry. One source of difficulty for novices in interpreting structures is that hydrogens bound to carbon are represented implicitly in the often-used line-angle structures. Other representations that explicitly show hydrogens, such…

Vanessa Serrano; Jordi Cuadros; Laura Fernández-Ruano; Javier García-Zubía; Unai Hernández-Jayo; Francesc Lluch – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2025
In science and engineering education, remote laboratories are designed to bring ubiquity to experimental scenarios, by having real laboratories operated through the Internet. Despite that remote laboratories enable the collection of students' work data, the educational use of these data is still underdeveloped. Learning analytics dashboards are…

George C. Lisensky; Omar M. Yaghi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) can have open pore structures with high surface areas and applications in hydrogen storage, carbon dioxide capture, water harvesting from air, chemical separations, and catalysis. The chemical structure of these crystalline solids can initially appear daunting. Simplification by considering the arrangement of the…

Yi-Chun Chen – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
This study examined the impact of spatial ability on science achievement by distinguishing between domain-general and domain-specific spatial abilities, focusing on their relationship with the conceptual understanding of the apparent path of the sun. Additionally, the mediating effects of domain-specific spatial knowledge on the relationships…

Kassem Hallal; Sami Tlais – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Different molecular representations are usually used to depict the three-dimensional (3D) structure of organic compounds. Mastering the skill of interconverting one form into another is essential for students to ensure success in organic chemistry. The traditional and recently developed methods for completing such interconversions that rely on 3D…

Badmus, Olalekan Taofeek; Jita, Loyiso C. – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
This study investigated pedagogical implication of spatial visualization as correlate of students' achievement in physics. Ex post facto research of the co-relational type with 857 senior secondary school three (S. S. 3) participants comprising of male and female students from both public and private-schools from Kwara State, Nigeria. Four…

Papadimitropoulos, N.; Dalacosta, K.; Pavlatou, E. A. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
A study with K-9 Greek students was conducted in order to evaluate how the declarative knowledge acquisition was affected by incorporating Arduino experiments in secondary Chemistry Education. A Digital Application (DA) that blends the use of the Arduino sensors' experiments with digital educational material, including Virtual Labs (VLs), was…

CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Abstract biological processes that occur at the submicroscopic level, such as osmosis and diffusion, are inherently difficult for many students to conceptualize when traditional learning and teaching methods are used. This study introduced an immersive 320° three-dimensional (3D) experience of osmosis in which students became engaged with the…
