Tamar Fuhrmann; Leah Rosenbaum; Aditi Wagh; Adelmo Eloy; Jacob Wolf; Paulo Blikstein; Michelle Wilkerson – Science Education, 2025
When learning about scientific phenomena, students are expected to "mechanistically" explain how underlying interactions produce the observable phenomenon and "conceptually" connect the observed phenomenon to canonical scientific knowledge. This paper investigates how the integration of the complementary processes of designing…

Anastasya Putri Aristanti; Arum Fatayan – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2024
The ability to think critically in the 21st century is a skill that must be possessed by every individual. This study, uses a UbD-based problem-based learning model with a conventional learning model to see which learning model has more influence on the critical thinking ability of grade IV students in science subjects. The UbD approach was chosen…

Fry, Kym; English, Lyn D. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
How might fourth graders address the problem of measuring the size of a leaf? And why might their classroom teachers choose such a shape to measure? One group of fourth-grade students in an urban Australian school were interested in knowing the sizes of leaves on a passionfruit vine growing at their school. The children were excited after a visit…

Anam Aslam; Sagheer Ahamd; Hans-Stefan Siller; Abida Nasreen – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2024
Science education is crucial for fostering knowledge across academic disciplines. Past efforts to enhance science achievement at the elementary level have explored various instructional strategies. Among these, the Understanding by Design (UbD) model has shown notable potential in improving science achievement outcomes compared to traditional…

Xiang, Lin; Goodpaster, Sagan; Mitchell, April – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
The "Next Generation Science Standards" call for engaging K-12 students in three-dimensional learning, in which students make sense of phenomena or solve problems by simultaneously using science and engineering practices (SEPs), crosscutting concepts (CCCs), and disciplinary core ideas (DCIs). Decades of education research suggest…

Kun-Hung Cheng – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
This study aimed to establish a fully 3D modeled immersive virtual reality (IVR) system for primary school students learning about plants and evaluate teachers' perceptions of the usage of the system and pupils' flow experiences and learning attitudes. There were 5 teachers with expertise in science and IVR experience who were first interviewed to…

Zhang, Ningyu; Biswas, Gautam; Hutchins, Nicole – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2022
Strategies are an important component of self-regulated learning frameworks. However, the characterization of strategies in these frameworks is often incomplete: (1) they lack an operational definition of strategies; (2) there is limited understanding of how students develop and apply strategies; and (3) there is a dearth of systematic and…

Qi Wang; Shengquan Yu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Learning resources are quite important for online learning while resource provision based on algorithms could not address learners' ubiquitous needs well. Moreover, the structure and content of resources are pre-defined which makes the "Structure" and "Content" coupled closely and could not easily adjust when learners' needs…

Oscar Eugenio Tamayo Alzate; Paula Andrea Herrera Flórez; Claudia Romero Villegas – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Understanding the role of metacognitive judgements in science learning can significantly contribute to the qualification of both teaching and learning processes. We present some of the existing relationships between two important theoretical categories in education: metacognitive judgements and cellular theory learning. The research was conducted…

Minshew, Lana M.; Anderson, Janice L.; Bartlett, Kerry A. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Models and modeling are central to both scientific literacy and practices as demonstrated by the Next Generation Science Standards. Through a design-based research framework, we developed a model-based assessment (MBA) and associated rubric as tools for teachers to understand and support students in their conceptualization of the flow of energy…

Küçük, Taner; Bayir, Eylem; Zorluoglu, Seraceddin Levent – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2023
In this study, the effect of teaching based on the 5E instructional model on students' conceptual learning was investigated. The participants consisted of three inclusion students with mild mental disabilities who were studying in the sixth grade of a secondary school. A lesson plan based on the 5E teaching model was designed, focusing on the…

Coban, Merve; Costu, Bayram – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study aims to integrate biomimicry into science education by proposing a teaching approach for primary school students. An action research approach was used. The developed 'Biomimicry Teaching Approach' was applied in a 5th grade classroom in a public school in Turkey where one of the authors is a teacher. According to this approach, the…

Devard, Sirjana – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Sixth-grade science students at Gauger-Cobbs Middle School in Newark, DE, had misconceptions about how heat energy moves in the hydrosphere through conduction, convection, and radiation. As a result, students struggled to develop and connect ideas that correctly and completely explained heat transfer in the hydrosphere at the end of the lesson…
