Influence of Different Approaches to Design-Based Learning on Eighth Grade Students' Science Content Learning and STEM Identity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Luecha Ladachart; Visit Radchanet; Wannakorn Phornprasert; Wilawan Phothong – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2024
Design-based learning (DBL), a pedagogical approach to integrating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, has been internationally promoted in K-12 curricula. Despite DBL's variations, research has indicated it can facilitate students' content learning. However, it is less clear whether DBL can foster students' STEM…

Bielik, Tom; Fonio, Ehud; Feinerman, Ofer; Duncan, Ravit Golan; Levy, Sharona T. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Complex systems are made up of many entities, whose interactions emerge into distinct collective patterns. Computational modeling platforms can provide a powerful means to investigate emergent phenomena in complex systems. Some research has been carried out in recent years about promoting students' modeling practices, specifically using…

Design Thinking Mindsets Facilitating Students' Learning of Scientific Concepts in Design-Based Activities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Ladachart, Luecha; Radchanet, Visit; Phothong, Wilawan – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
Design-based learning has been recognized by educational scholars as the key approach to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at K-12 levels. However, it is unclear whether, and which dimensions of, design thinking mindsets support the conceptual learning of science. This quasi-experimental study aims to explore 37…
