Ari Krakowski; Eric Greenwald; Natalie Roman; Christina Morales; Suzanna Loper – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
The role of computation in science is ever-expanding and is enabling scientists to investigate complex phenomena in more powerful ways and tackle previously intractable problems. The growing role of computation has prompted calls to integrate computational thinking (CT) into science instruction in order to more authentically mirror contemporary…

Kozcu Çakir, Nevin; Yurdakul, Sila; Çetin, Gürcan – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2022
This research aims to design a sample Arduino-assisted robotics and coding activity in accordance with the 5E instructional model. Also, it aims to set an example for how technology is integrated into science courses, especially in the structuring of abstract and hard-to-understand concepts in science teaching. The activity provides guidance to…

Tofel-Grehl, Colby; Searle, Kristin; Ball, Douglas; Jeong, Soojeong – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2023
As computing becomes an essential component of professional practice across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, integration of computing across content areas in K-12 classrooms is also becoming important. Particularly within science classrooms, computer science and computational thinking (CS/CT) are novel and necessary…

Hamerski, Paul C.; McPadden, Daryl; Caballero, Marcos D.; Irving, Paul W. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
High school science classrooms across the United States are answering calls to make computation a part of science learning. The problem is that there is little known about the barriers to learning that computation might bring to a science classroom or about how to help students overcome these challenges. This case study explores these challenges…

Fairley, David – School Science Review, 2020
This article introduces the use of "VPython" (the "Python" programming language plus a 3D graphics module called "Visual") as a potentially valuable tool in teaching aspects of secondary school chemistry, which also provides an opportunity for students to gain some experience with manipulating and/or writing computer…

Apple, Lillian; Baunach, John; Connelly, Glenda; Gahlhoff, Sonia; Romanowicz, Colleen Megowan; Vieyra, Rebecca Elizabeth; Walker, Lucas – Physics Teacher, 2021
Multiple initiatives contend that all students should master computational thinking, including the "Next Generation Science Standards, the K-12 Framework for Computational Thinking," and Code.org. In turn, many physics teachers have begun to explore a variety of approaches to integrating computational modeling through programming. These…

Zheng, Changlong; Li, Langsen; He, Peng; Jia, Mengying – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
Although the content of science lessons has been analyzed from different perspectives by developing a set of codes (e.g., K. J. Roth, S. L. Druker, H. E. Garnier, M. Lemmens, C. Chen, T. Kawanaka, and R. Gallimore, (2006), Teaching science in five countries: results from the TIMSS 1999 video study, Washington, DC: National Center for Education…

Song, Yu; Lei, Shunwei; Hao, Tianyong; Lan, Zixin; Ding, Ying – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Due to benefits for teaching and learning, an increasing number of studies have focused on classroom dialogue and how to make it productive. Coding, in which the transcribed conversation is allocated to a set of features, is commonly employed to deal with the textual data arising from this dialogue. This is generally done manually and cannot…

Cakir, Nevin Kozcu; Guven, Gokhan – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2019
The purpose of the current study is to design and develop an Arduino-assisted robotic and coding activity in compliance with the 5E learning model for middle school students to construct knowledge and realize learning in science teaching. The study was conducted on 6th grade students attending a private middle school in Turkey in the second term…

Wagh, Aditi; Cook-Whitt, Kate; Wilensky, Uri – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2017
Research on the design of learning environments for K-12 science education has been informed by two bodies of literature: inquiry-based science and Constructionism. Inquiry-based science has emphasized engagement in activities that reflect authentic scientific practices. Constructionism has focused on designing intuitively accessible authoring…

Rice, Mary F.; Deshler, Donald D. – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2018
As online coursework become more popular, students with disabilities that need vocabulary support for reading comprehension will be among the increase in cyber school students. Researchers have some evidence that certain types of vocabulary support strategies are more efficacious for students with disabilities. The purpose of this article is…

Tidemand, Sofie; Nielsen, Jan Alexis – International Journal of Science Education, 2017
Previous research has documented that students who engage with socioscientific issues can acquire some of the complex competences and skills typically related to scientific literacy. But an emerging field of research on science teachers' understanding and use of socioscientific issues, has documented that a range of challenges hinders the uptake…

Eliasson, Nina; Sørensen, Helene; Karlsson, Karl Göran – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
We show that boys still have a greater access to the space for interaction in science classrooms, which is unexpected since in Sweden today girls perform better in these subjects than boys. Results from video-recorded verbal communication, referred to here as "interaction," show that the distribution of teacher-student interaction in the…

To, Cheryl; Tenenbaum, Harriet R.; Hogh, Henriette – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2017
This study examined age differences in young people's understanding of evolution theory in secondary school. A second aim of this study was to propose a new coding scheme that more accurately described students' conceptual understanding about evolutionary theory. We argue that coding schemes adopted in previous research may have overestimated…
