Yamaguchi, Janet – Science and Children, 2023
This article describes how using a variety of differentiation strategies, such as listening to stories, visualizing scenarios, and performing tactile activities, can help fourth-grade students to conceive of and express examples of energy transfer.

David Menendez; Karl S. Rosengren; Martha W. Alibali – Grantee Submission, 2022
Visualizations are commonly used in educational materials, however not all visualizations are equally effective at promoting learning. Prior research has supported the idea that both perceptually rich and bland visualizations are beneficial for learning and generalization. We investigated whether the perceptual richness of a life cycle diagram…

Veith, Sonja Isabel; Friege, Gunnar – Physics Education, 2021
Sound is an interesting topic for physics lessons at all ages. However, it is difficult to illustrate this ubiquitous phenomenon and many models do not adequately represent the properties of sound and thus promote unwanted conceptions. The experiment presented here avoids this by visualising sound itself with the help of the schlieren technique.…

Dimitri Belli; Guglielmo Lischi; Giovanni Pardini; Paolo Milazzo; Valentina Domenici – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
This technology report presents the main features of a free digital educational tool which aims to introduce middle school level students to the comprehension of the particulate nature of matter in the three states (i.e., solid, liquid, and gas) and during phase transitions. This digital tool is available and is freely accessible online. Its…

Lin, Jing; Zhang, Letong; Neumann, Knut; Cheng, Ping-Han; Wei, Wenting; Chang, Chun-Yen – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2022
Scientific modeling (SM) is a core practice of science and an important component of scientific literacy. Supporting students in developing the competence to construct, use, evaluate, and revise models is hence of particular relevance. While research has shown that spatial visualization (SV), a core component of spatial ability, is correlated with…

Singh, Garima; Khunyakari, Ritesh – Contemporary Education Dialogue, 2023
Learning about components and processes of complex biological systems is challenging and requires abstraction through mediational tools such as text, visuals, models and visualisation experiences. The 'systems concepts' necessitate building coherent relations and anticipating consequences, requiring greater mediational support. This article…

The Features of Norms Formed in Constructing Student-Generated Drawings to Explain Physics Phenomena
Chang, Jina; Park, Joonhyeong; Tang, Kok-Sing; Treagust, David F.; Won, Mihye – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Student-generated drawing is a useful strategy to construct students' scientific ideas. For exploring ways to support student-generated drawing, we focused on the perspective of 'Norms' -- shared behaviour patterns desirable in a community. We investigated what norms were formed and how they emerged when students made drawings to explain…

Colley, Carolyn; Windschitl, Mark – Research in Science Education, 2021
In science classrooms, the epistemic practices of explanation building and argumentation often extend over multiple episodes of talk during a single lesson or across several lessons. Analyzing this kind of discourse requires a way to identify patterns that emerge over time to better understand student participation and how teachers support…

Dunn, Justin; Ramnarain, Umesh – Education Sciences, 2020
This study investigated the effect of interactive computer simulation-supported inquiry on South African grade 8 learners' comprehension of atoms and molecular structures. Two sample groups of 34 learners per sample group were used, one acting as a control group who were exposed to a teacher-directed pedagogy while the experimental group used…

Ponners, Pamela Jones; Piller, Yulia – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2019
Research shows that well before children can verbalize their thoughts, they often create internal visual models of what scientists are and what they do (Farland-Smith 2012). Therefore, discovering, understanding and recording a student's own stereotypical perceptions are crucial to science instructors, as it is believed that perceptions may affect…

Fried, Daniel B.; Tinio, Pablo P. L.; Gubi, Aaron; Gaffney, Jean P. – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
The scientists of the future will need to begin studying science to great depth, much earlier in life, in order to keep up with the accelerating pace of discovery and technological innovation. For this to be possible, engaging and child-friendly pedagogical approaches need to be developed that leverage the natural enthusiasm of young science…

Eriksen, Kristina; Nielsen, Bjarne E.; Pittelkow, Michael – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
We present a simple procedure to make an augmented reality app to visualize any chemical 3D model. The molecular structure may be based on crystallographic data or from computational modeling. This guide is made in such a way that no programming skills are needed, and the procedure uses free software and provides a way to visualize 3D structures…

Ikhsan, Jaslin; Akhyar, Muhammad; Nais, Miarti Khikmatun – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2019
This research aimed to examine the effects of science-on-web learning media on grade 8 students' learning independency levels and learning outcomes of 'excretion system' topic. Through a quasi-experimental research method within non-equivalent control group design, 70 grade 8 students drawn from Tanjungpinang, Indonesia participated in the study.…

Erduran, Sibel; Kaya, Ebru – Research in Science Education, 2018
Developing pre-service science teachers' epistemic insight remains a challenge, despite decades of research in related bodies of work such as the nature of science (NOS) in science education. While there may be numerous aspects to this problem, one critical element is that the NOS is a meta-concept that demands higher-order cognitive skills. One…

Wilcox, Jesse; Kruse, Jerrid; Clough, Michael – Science and Children, 2017
Even though many educators are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), science often does not receive the attention in elementary school that it should. One way to ensure that elementary school children have the science experiences they need and deserve is to use it as a context to teach…
