Jihoon Kang; Jina Kim – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
While existing studies have underscored the educational benefits of generating explanatory hypotheses (EHs) in response to unexpected outcomes, empirical research on the underlying mechanisms driving their effectiveness in science learning remains limited. Thus, this study aimed to empirically examine the effectiveness of generating an EH for…

Ong, Aloysius; Lee Teo, Chew; Tan, Samuel; Song Kim, Mi – Education 3-13, 2021
This case study explores how a science teacher adopted knowledge building and learning analytics to support a class of primary five students to collaboratively inquire and learn about electricity. Specifically, we aim to understand how the teacher implemented a lesson design guided by knowledge building principles of idea improvement and community…

Prain, Vaughan; Xu, Lihua; Speldewinde, Christopher – Research in Science Education, 2023
There is a long tradition of teaching science through inquiry, with broad agreement about the form it should take. Students should investigate researchable questions; gather and analyse data; and develop and represent evidence-based claims. Authoritative teacher or textbook representations are generally used to guide this learning (Buckley &…

Chang, Tzyh-Lee; Hsin, Huai-Tzu – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: Being able to think independently is a must for students to construct new knowledge in their minds. Self-explaining is a constructive learning strategy that encourages students to think for themselves and to make inferences that go beyond the given information. The Self-explain--Discuss--Re-explain (SDR) strategy adapted from…
