da Silva, Renan Amorim; de Vasconcelos, Flávia Cristina Gomes Catunda – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
This paper presents an analysis of cognitive skill levels expressed in high school students' performance using laboratory simulations. We address lower-order cognitive skills (LOCS) and higher-order cognitive skills (HOCS) situations in a virtual simulation activity, in order to identify and underly further discussions about students' reasoning…

Purwanto, Agung; Rahmawati, Yuli; Rahmayanti, Novia; Mardiah, Alin; Amalia, Risky – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2022
Students difficulty in relating chemistry concepts to everyday life leads to their inability to explore and developed skills needed, especially critical thinking. Therefore, this study aimed to develop students' critical thinking skills by integrating socio-critical and problem-oriented approaches to chemistry learning with environmental issues in…

Trudel, Louis; Métioui, Abdeljalil – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2019
The domain of motion or kinematics is important because it forms the basis of mechanics, an important branch of physics. By studying kinematic phenomena in the laboratory, high school students are likely to develop a better understanding of kinematics concepts as well as elements of the scientific approach to study natural and constructed…

Latourelle, Sandra M.; Elwess, Nancy L.; Ryan, Amy B. – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
Enzymatic activity is at the core of biological reactions. Understanding them and the chemical and environmental factors that affect reaction rates is critical for biology students. The laboratory experiment proposed here investigated these concepts, while requiring students to document, graph data, analyse results using statistics, and…

Blikstein, Paulo; Fuhrmann, Tamar; Salehi, Shima – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2016
In this paper, we investigate an approach to supporting students' learning in science through a combination of physical experimentation and virtual modeling. We present a study that utilizes a scientific inquiry framework, which we call "bifocal modeling," to link student-designed experiments and computer models in real time. In this…
