Design and Usability Evaluation of a Mobile App for Elementary School Inquiry-Based Science Learning
Iraya Yánez-Pérez; Radu Bogdan Toma; Jesús Ángel Meneses-Villagrá – School Science and Mathematics, 2025
Teachers often struggle to implement inquiry-based science teaching. To support them, IndagApp--a 3D educational app that offers curriculum-aligned, inquiry-based lesson plans--was designed. The app is rooted in the inquiry phases recommended in best-practices literature, which arguably align with most international standards. This study describes…

Kousloglou, Manolis; Molohidis, Anastasios; Nikolopoulou, Kleopatra; Hatzikraniotis, Euripides – Teaching Science, 2022
The natural sciences, by their very nature, are based on the exploration of the physical world, and digital mobile devices are considered appropriate to support this exploration (Suárez et al., 2018) since they offer the tools that make this investigation more accessible but also ubiquitous (Crompton et al., 2017). Inquiry-based learning is a…

Dogruer, Sule Sahin; Akyuz, Didem – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2020
This design research investigated the mathematical practices that eight graders (14-year-old students) developed when learning about prisms, cylinders, and their surface areas. An inquiry-based learning environment was created for students to engage in argumentation. The instruction was enriched by use of a dynamic geometry software, namely…

Uygun, Tugba – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2020
This study reports the classroom mathematical practices proposed in an instructional sequence grounding on the principles of inquiry-based learning (IBL) through the use of the dynamic geometry software (DGS) in learning to teach geometric transformations. A 5-week instructional sequence consisting of IBL activities that were guided by the…

Segal, Ruti; Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
The study aimed to expose how pre-service teachers perceived the value of an inquiry-based geometrical task with dynamic geometry software for increasing and deepening their understanding of the task itself, and for heightening their mathematical, pedagogical, and technological knowledge in the case of reflection and transformation. Twenty-seven…

Scholes, Laura; Stahl, Garth; Comber, Barbara; McDonald, Sarah; Brownlee, Jo Lunn – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2021
Building on work that brings literacy instruction and student science learner identity together, this study addresses a gap in research related to student experiences as readers in middle school science classrooms. To understand student perceptions of pedagogical approaches to reading in science, we asked 45 middle school students to reflect on…

Oda, Katsuhiko; Herman, Thomas; Hasan, Angela – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2020
This article reports on professional development in which twenty-four middle- or high-school teachers learned about integration of the Geographic Information System (GIS) in science or social science classes. We analyzed qualitative data obtained from the participants to examine two research questions. 1) What were the most relevant and useful…

Pöntinen, Susanna; Kärkkäinen, Sirpa; Pihlainen, Kaisa; Räty-Záborszky, Sinikka – Education Sciences, 2019
Formulating questions is an integral part of pupils' learning process and scientific inquiry. Investigating pupil-generated questions in a collaborative science learning setting, combining self-regulation theory and phases of inquiry, can extend the previous research into pupils' questions.This study considered questions from pupils (n = 24, aged…

Chang, Liang; Chen, Qianqian; Yang, Yuqin; Qian, Xuan – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
This study investigated whether elementary students could collectively advance a knowledge-building discourse through judgments of promisingness and epistemic reflection. Supported by the Promising Idea Tool and its accompanying pedagogical design, 32 grade six students were involved in judging the promisingness of their community ideas, refining…

Karam, Rita; Pane, John F.; Griffin, Beth Ann; Robyn, Abby; Phillips, Andrea; Daugherty, Lindsay – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
Studies on blended education pay little attention to implementation, thus limiting the understanding of how such programs contribute to student math learning. This article examines the implementation of a widely used blended algebra curriculum and the relationship between implementation and student outcomes. The study was conducted in 74 middle…

Sharples, Mike; Scanlon, Eileen; Ainsworth, Shaaron; Anastopoulou, Stamatina; Collins, Trevor; Crook, Charles; Jones, Ann; Kerawalla, Lucinda; Littleton, Karen; Mulholland, Paul; O'Malley, Claire – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2015
A central challenge for science educators is to enable young people to act as scientists by gathering and assessing evidence, conducting experiments, and engaging in informed debate. We report the design of the nQuire toolkit, a system to support scripted personal inquiry learning, and a study of its use with school students ages 11-14. This…

Castek, Jill; Beach, Richard – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2013
Apps, specialized programs used on mobile computers, can be used in innovative ways to enhance science and literacy learning. With the skilled guidance of their teachers, students can exploit app affordances for learning and acquire disciplinary literacies unique to science. This article showcases apps that help students to access information,…

Zhang, Meilan; Quintana, Chris – Computers & Education, 2012
Online inquiry, use of the Web as an information resource to inquire into science, has become increasingly common in middle schools in recent years. However, prior research has found that middle school students tend to use the Web in a superficial manner. To address the challenges that students face in online inquiry, we designed the Digital…

Ellwood, Robin B. – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This research investigated how student social interactions within two approaches to an inquiry-based science curriculum could be related to student motivation and achievement outcomes. This qualitative case study consisted of two cases, Off-Campus and On-Campus, and used ethnographic techniques of participant observation. Research participants…
