Tina Vo; Rebekah Hammack; Paul Gannon; Nicholas Lux; Blake Wiehe; Miracle Moonga; Brock LaMeres – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
As we prepare teachers to provide students with opportunities within STEM education, authentic experiences should guide the instruction. Unfortunately, due to the novel integration of engineering into national reform documents, there is a dearth of documentation on elementary preservice teachers' engineering ideas as they align with student goals…

Hidayat, Toni; Rustaman, Nuryani; Siahaan, Parsaoran – Journal of Science Learning, 2021
Science textbooks only present scientific facts that cause the textbooks to seem not to promote scientific reasoning. Science learning also becomes not in line with the nature of Science. Then, Science learning requires applying authentic Science as an approach. Adapted Primary Literature (APL) is assumed to be able to achieve this objective.…

Sisk-Hilton, Stephanie; Ferner, Sarah Davies – Science and Children, 2022
The inclusion of engineering in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as a key component of K-12 science learning has provided both opportunities and challenges for elementary teachers. One challenge is integrating the design thinking processes that undergird engineering with core science concepts and current issues facing scientists and…

Rogers, John; Cheung, Anisa – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
This study is a conceptual replication of Rogers and Cheung's (2018) investigation into distribution of practice effects on the learning of L2 vocabulary in child EFL classrooms in Hong Kong. Following a pretest, treatment, delayed posttest design, 66 primary school students (Cantonese L1) studied 20 vocabulary items over three training episodes…

Wolbers, Kimberly A.; Dostal, Hannah M.; Cihak, David; Holcomb, Leala – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2020
This study explores the impact of Strategic and Interactive Writing Instruction (SIWI) on six students' written language skills through the application of a multiple-baseline probe single case design with embedded condition. This was part of a larger Institute of Education Sciences (IES)-funded project focused on the development and feasibility of…

Ural, Evrim; Dadli, Guzide – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2020
The study aimed to investigate the effect of authentic problem-based learning (PBL) activities in the unit of "Human and Environment" on 7th graders' environmental information, their reflective thinking skills and their environmental attitudes. The sample of the study consisted of 53 7th grade students from two different classes…

Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Purba, Siska Wati Dewi; Liu, Yi-Fan; Zhang, Yun-Yuan; Chen, Nian-Shing – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
Geometry students have few opportunities to apply geometric concepts and solve geometry problems in authentic contexts. We developed a Ubiquitous Geometry (UG) system to teach geometry to elementary students by using it to measure common objects in authentic contexts. The instant study investigates the effects of UG on student geometry estimation…
