Sebastian Björnhammer; Iann Lundegård; Jakob Gyllenpalm – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2024
In science education, students need to work with laboratory elements that create conditions for them to learn to do science and experience the value of making meaning in this process. However, students rarely get to carry out investigations that resemble actual scientific practices. More often, they are encouraged to follow an already given…

Jenny Koce Matitaputty; Nanda Saputra; Loso Judijanto; Nugroho Susanto; Muhammad Hanif; Jems Sopacua; Muhammad Rijal Fadli – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2024
Digital history-based project-based learning (PjBL) in history learning is a learning medium that can provide a special attraction for students who can improve historical concept skills and historical awareness. However, there are still many teachers who have not used it, so it is very important to study it. This research aims to analyze the…

Annamaria Miranda; Loredana Saliceto – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2024
Recent research in mathematics education shows that by exploring the properties of figures and making conjectures, especially through dynamic geometry software, students can better develop their understanding of concepts. Furthermore, comparing different geometric worlds and, within them, different representations enhances Euclidean knowledge. In…

Zeleke B. Mekonnen; Destaw D. Yehualaw; Solomon M. Mengistie; Baye S. Mersha – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
While computer animations have the potential to assist learners in understanding difficult concepts and eliminating misconceptions, studies supporting this claim are scarce. This study investigated how the 7E instructional model integrated with computer animations affected students' conceptual understanding and misconceptions about food making and…

Nikolaos Papalazarou; Ioannis Lefkos; Nikolaos Fachantidis – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Involving students in laboratory and inquiry-based activities can help them understand the concepts of physics. However the learning process should not only focus on the concepts. Moreover, the advantages of using virtual or physical labs are still under examination. The purpose of this study is to analyse which of the two modes (virtual or…

Ananias N. Yunzal Jr.; Aubrey Ginelle Rallos; May Noren Nanud; Ma. Lina Ondoy; Jhun Matthew Ares; Marchee Picardal – Science Education International, 2024
With the recent data revealing the performance status of Filipino learners in science aggravated by the negative effects of the pandemic, a concerted effort is directed toward exploring how learners learn science concepts in the current educational landscape to address issues of poor conceptual understanding and a learning gap. This qualitative…

Cassandra Franks LaFaye – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The problem addressed in this study was that some high school students do not have the math skills needed to succeed in a traditional chemistry class. If instructional strategies are not changed, many students who struggle with algebra will also struggle to master the chemistry content which is a required high school subject in Arizona. The…

Cirkony, Connie; Tytler, Russell; Hubber, Peter – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Inquiry-based representation-focused approaches in science education have shown promising outcomes when students engage in knowledge building via an active process of constructing, coordinating, and evaluating representations. To date, much of the existing research around these approaches has taken place in pre-digital classrooms, but the…

Li, Mingyang; Donnelly-Hermosillo, Dermot Francis; Click, Jennifer – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
Numerous studies illustrate the value of simulations or project-based learning approaches to enhance the learning of science. Simulations can help students connect across macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic representations of scientific phenomena, while project-based learning can provide a meaningful narrative and activities for students to…

Integrating genetic engineering and molecular biology lab activities into open inquiry-based teaching is an innovative, unique process that has taken place in Israeli high schools since 2018, becoming part of biology studies for 11th- and 12th-grade students. Engaging these students in lab techniques and practices in this field enables them to…

Maphutha, Kgaladi; Maoto, Satsope; Mutodi, Paul – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2023
In this paper, we explored the type of mathematical connections Grade 11 learners make when solving two-dimensional (2D) trigonometric problems in an Activity-Based Learning (ABL) environment. We followed a qualitative case study design within an interpretive paradigm. Convenience sampling was used to select a whole class of 45 Grade 11 learners…

Nesimyan-Agadi, Dina; Assaraf, Orit Ben Zvi – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Informal learning environments such as Natural History Museums can introduce visitors to a variety of topics in evolution by providing accessible representations of concepts like geological time, evolutionary mechanisms, biological diversity, geological time, and fossil dating. Our study examined sixth-grade students' conceptualization of…

Ramsey, Gordon – Physics Teacher, 2022
Many high schools, two-year colleges, and universities offer a conceptual physics course for non-science students who have to take a basic science course. The students often enter the course unmotivated and may eventually withdraw. So, how do we make the course interesting enough for these students to gain the knowledge we desire and, more…

Grau, Francesc Garcia I.; Valls, Cristina; Piqué, Núria; Ruiz-Martín, Héctor – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
The effectiveness of the 5E model has been supported by research in schools in recent years, although its efficacy has rarely been assessed in the long term to avoid novelty effects and to consider the impact of the usual loss of fidelity that time entails. This study was designed to assess the long-term effects on students' conceptual learning as…

Lee, Hwa Young – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Students are expected to use the Cartesian plane to represent and reason about mathematical concepts such as number systems, geometric figures, and functions. However, the simplicity of representing mathematical concepts that the Cartesian plane provides can cause us to overlook the difficulties many students have in constructing and using it.…
