Maja Planinic; Katarina Jelicic; Karolina Matejak Cvenic; Ana Susac; Lana Ivanjek – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Wave optics is a mandatory part of Croatian secondary school physics curriculum for students in the final year of secondary school (age 18-19). Many physics education research studies have shown that it is a difficult physics topic for both university and secondary school students. An inquiry-based teaching sequence on wave optics, designed for…

William A. Putnam – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Separating students in a variety of ways from one another in school systems based on either their perceived abilities or the part they may play in the future world is a codified component of systemic public educational systems. Much pontificating and research has been devoted to reflecting on these stratifying and segregating practices, especially…

Shuaizhen Jin; Zheng Zhong; Kunyan Li; Chen Kang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study utilizes a comparative experimental research method to investigate the effect of the Predict, Observe, Explain, and Evaluate (POEE) learning strategy in an immersive virtual environment (IVE) on two types of learners with different levels of prior knowledge. One type referred to as Highly Experienced and Knowledgeable (HEK) learners,…

Chauncey Monte-Sano; Ryan E. Hughes – Social Education, 2024
Middle school social studies teachers are increasingly working on argument writing in their classrooms so that students can successfully write counterarguments that acknowledge competing perspectives about historical and social issues by the end of eighth grade. The authors' prior research indicates that eighth-grade students "can" grow…

Woldeamanuel, Yenenesh Workneh; Abate, Nega Tassie; Berhane, Dessalegn Ejigu – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Concept mapping helps learners to understand complex ideas. However, studies confirming that statement are scarce. A quasi-experimental and Design-based approaches were applied to understand the effectiveness of concept mapping based teaching method on grade eight students' conceptual understanding of photosynthesis. Two sections of grade eight…

Galindo, Enrique, Ed.; Lee, Jean, Ed. – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2018
"Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships," edited by Enrique Galindo and Jean Lee, supplies teachers with a challenging and rewarding new way to deeply engage their students in secondary mathematics. In project-based learning (PBL), students investigate and solve real-world issues through mathematics. This book describes the nuts and bolts…

Durk, Jessie; Davies, Ally; Hughes, Robin; Jardine-Wright, Lisa – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Female students and those with a low socioeconomic status (SES) typically score lower in assessments of self-efficacy and ability in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In this study, a cohort of over 200 UK students attended an intensive, active learning, physics workshop, with pre- and post-assessments to measure both…

Makkonen, Taina; Tirri, Kirsi; Lavonen, Jari – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2021
Research on the advantages and disadvantages of project-based learning (PBL) among gifted pupils studying physics is scarce. This mixed-methods study investigates engagement, experiences, and learning outcomes among gifted Finnish upper-secondary-level students learning physics through PBL. A six-lesson PBL module on basic Newtonian mechanics was…

Tural, Güner – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2020
One of the topics students have understanding difficulties in science is pressure. The study investigates the effectiveness of an active-learning environment on the students' understanding of the concept of pressure. The sample consisted of 30 students from a public secondary school in Turkey. This study used a pre-test, post-test,…

Yehya, Fouad M.; Barbar, Aziz M.; Abou-Rjeili, Suzanne – Research in Social Sciences and Technology, 2019
Physics is a tough and challenging topic. Facilitating the learning of physics requires an innovative and constructivist view of teaching that promotes an active learning environment and an effective implementation of educational technology. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the use of computer simulations combined with hands-on…

Tsai, Fu-Hsing; Hsu, I.-Ying – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
This research aimed to develop a computer detective game for science education to provide students in experiencing real-world problem-solving after learning electricity-related knowledge, and to explore the effects of designing the guidance of process constraints and prompts into this game. To explore the effects of guidance, two different game…

Streich, Irina; Mayer, Jürgen – Education Sciences, 2020
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of self-generation in inquiry-based learning and to identify the role of feedback. While open-ended inquiry-based learning with a high degree of self-generation requirements has long been considered optimal for facilitating effective learning, its long-run effects have been critically challenged.…
