Pitta-Pantazi, D.; Christou, C.; Demosthenous, E.; Pittalis, M.; Chimoni, M. – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Mathematical creativity is considered beneficial for learning mathematics. However, research studies that provide empirical evidence of students' mathematical creativity in regular mathematics classrooms are relatively scarce. This study explores the idea of mini-creativity (mini-c), which is defined as the creative processes involved in the…

Herder, Anke; Berenst, Jan; de Glopper, Kees; Koole, Tom – Classroom Discourse, 2022
This paper discusses how primary school students, who are writing together in the context of inquiry learning, explicitly orient to knowing of oneself and others within the peer group. Using Conversation Analysis, we disclose the conversational functions of assertions holding 'I know', 'you know' and 'we know'. First, students position themselves…

McGrath, Allison L.; Tejero Hughes, Marie – Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals, 2021
Most students with disabilities in the United States receive science instruction in general education classrooms; however, little is known about the academic success for students with learning disabilities (LD) in these classes. This case study takes place in an inclusive science classroom that used an inquiry approach to learning science and…

Spires, Hiller A.; Kerkhoff, Shea N.; Paul, Casey Medlock – Teachers College Press, 2019
In this practical guide, literacy experts show teachers how to use project-based inquiry to build students' discipline-specific skills and knowledge in grades 6-12. The authors present a five-phase framework that incorporates their professional development experience working with over 3,000 teachers. By making the intuitive practices of the…

Streich, Irina; Mayer, Jürgen – Education Sciences, 2020
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of self-generation in inquiry-based learning and to identify the role of feedback. While open-ended inquiry-based learning with a high degree of self-generation requirements has long been considered optimal for facilitating effective learning, its long-run effects have been critically challenged.…

Asli Sarisan-Tungaç; Süleyman Yaman; Belgin Bal-Incebacak – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2018
One of the most important objectives of the science education includes helping students to think about the nature of scientific inquiries like a scientist and keep this point of view in order to understand the events occurring around them. This research aims to (1) compare secondary school students' views -who have creative drama &…

Borge, Marcela; Toprani, Dhvani; Yan, Shulong; Xia, Yu – Computer Science Education, 2020
Background and Context: in this paper, we argue that integrating Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) into K-12 computing education can present learners with opportunities to develop human-centered design skills as well as higher-order thinking skills. Objective: to address the issues related to the development of HCI forms of expertise, we introduce…

Balim, Ali Günay; Inel-Ekici, Didem; Özcan, Erkan – Journal of Education and Learning, 2016
Problem based learning, in which events from daily life are presented as interesting scenarios, is one of the active learning approaches that encourages students to self-direct learning. Problem based learning, generally used in higher education, requires students to use high end thinking skills in learning environments. In order to use…

Knezek, Gerald; Christensen, Rhonda; Tyler-Wood, Tandra; Periathiruvadi, Sita – Science Education International, 2013
Middle school is a crucial stage in student development as students prepare for a fast changing future. The science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills that students acquire in middle school lay the foundation for a successful career in STEM. Moreover, most STEM occupations require competencies in science, math and logical…

Garcia-Mila, Merce; Andersen, Christopher; Rojo, Nubia E. – International Journal of Science Education, 2011
The present study examines the mutual interaction between students' writing and scientific reasoning among sixth-grade students (age 11-12 years) engaged in scientific inquiry. The experimental task was designed to promote spontaneous record keeping compared to previous task designs by increasing the saliency of task requirements, with the design…

Metin, Duygu; Leblebicioglu, Gulsen – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2011
Science explores nature and the most authentic way of introducing science is creating learning environments in the nature and let children make their own discoveries in the nature as real scientists. Science camps would be an opportunity for this kind of science education. This study introduces a science camp and reports findings regarding its…

Ford, Michael – Science & Education, 2008
This article articulates how a "grasp of practice" serves as a reasoning resource for inquiry and citizenship abilities associated with nature of science (NOS) understanding. Theoretically, this resource is elaborated through an overlapping concern with "practice" in two literatures, science studies and psychology of learning, bringing attention…
