Plummer, Julia D.; Udomprasert, Patricia; Vaishampayan, Abha; Sunbury, Susan; Cho, Kyungjin; Houghton, Harry; Johnson, Erin; Wright, Erika; Sadler, Philip M.; Goodman, Alyssa – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Strong spatial skills are foundational in predicting students' performance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. Decades of research have considered the relationship between thinking spatially and how scientists reason and solve problems. However, few studies have examined the factors that influence improvement in…

Gender and Racial Differences: Development of Sixth Grade Students' Geometric Spatial Visualization within an Earth/Space Unit
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jackson, Christa; Wilhelm, Jennifer Anne; Lamar, Mary; Cole, Merryn – School Science and Mathematics, 2015
This study investigated sixth-grade middle-level students' geometric spatial development by gender and race within and between control and experimental groups at two middle schools as they participated in an Earth/Space unit. The control group utilized a regular Earth/Space curriculum and the experimental group used a National Aeronautics and…

Selcen Guzey, S.; Harwell, Michael; Moreno, Mario; Peralta, Yadira; Moore, Tamara J. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2017
The new science education reform documents call for integration of engineering into K-12 science classes. Engineering design and practices are new to most science teachers, meaning that implementing effective engineering instruction is likely to be challenging. This quasi-experimental study explored the influence of teacher-developed, engineering…

Use of Tactual Materials on the Achievement of Content Specific Vocabulary and Terminology Acquisition within an Intermediate Level Science Curriculum
Direct linkDirect link
Terry, Brian H. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
In this quasi-experimental study, the researcher investigated the effectiveness of three tactual strategies and one non-tactual strategy of content specific vocabulary acquisition. Flash cards, task cards, and learning wheels served as the tactual strategies, and vocabulary review sheets served as a non-tactual strategy. The sample (n = 85)…
