van Dulmen, Tim H. H.; Visser, Talitha C.; Coenders, Fer G. M.; Pepin, Birgit; McKenney, Susan – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Chemical bonding is an important topic which is difficult to teach well, especially for novices. This study set out to support preservice teacher educators by developing a framework for understanding and addressing the complexity of teaching chemical bonding. A model of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in science education that has been widely…

Emmeline E. Hoogland; Micha H. J. Ummels – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
In secondary science education, students often do not feel engaged with the scientific concepts that are taught, which hinders conceptual learning. This lack of engagement can be overcome by fictional placemaking. Therefore, the purpose of our design-based research is to explore how the creation and use of fictional places lead to meaningful…

den Otter, Marie-Jetta; Dam, Michiel; Juurlink, Ludo B. F.; Janssen, Fred – Education Sciences, 2021
Structure-property reasoning (SPR) is one of the most important aims of chemistry education but is seldom explicitly taught, and students find structure-property reasoning difficult. This study assessed two design principles for the development of structure-property reasoning in the context of demonstrations: (1) use of a POE task…

Stammes, Hanna; Henze, Ineke; Barendsen, Erik; de Vries, Marc – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Bringing design practices to chemistry education is gaining interest with recent science curriculum reforms emphasising design, and calls for integrated STEM education. Design is a central practice in the chemistry discipline, and could foster meaningful chemistry education. Although chemistry teachers are key in bringing design to chemistry…

Nap, Laura S.; Hiddink, Frans C.; Duarte, Joana – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2023
In the field of applied linguistics, the use of multiple languages in educational settings has often been studied from a pedagogical perspective, focusing on teacher practices. In order for multilingual teaching pedagogies, such as translanguaging to reach their full potential, pupils should participate actively in classroom interaction and be…

Hut, R. W.; Pols, C. F. J.; Verschuur, D. J. – Physics Education, 2020
Teaching a hands- and minds-on course, in which feedback is essential in order to learn, is difficult, especially in times of COVID-19 where student progression cannot be monitored directly. During the lockdown period, the workshops of an undergraduate Design Engineering course had to be transferred to the home situation, which required a redesign…

Despite the increasing demand for non-formal science learning activities, few studies report on practitioners' perspectives and experiences with designing and implementing such activities worldwide. This paper focuses on their challenges by drawing upon twenty-two interviews with practitioners involved in diverse science learning activities in…

Schat, Esther; van der Knaap, Ewout; de Graaff, Rick – Language Teaching Research, 2023
Intercultural competence in foreign language teaching has gained importance in recent times. Although current work has highlighted the advantages of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) for intercultural development, little is known about its potential for teaching literature in secondary schools. Treating literature itself as an art…

Duchi, Lorenzo; Servant-Miklos, Virginie; Kooij, Loïs; Noordegraaf-Eelens, Liesbeth – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2023
This paper examines the impact of a structured, multi-dimensional reflection track of a 16-week pilot programme in experimental pedagogics (XP) in The Netherlands. XP is an elective undergraduate programme in which students investigate socially relevant educational problems in local communities and design educational interventions to address these…

Puente, S. M. Gómez; Jansen, J. W. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
This paper aims at presenting the experience of the Power Conversion project in teaching students to design a proof-of-principle contactless energy transfer system for the charging of electrical vehicles. The Power Conversion is a second-year electrical engineering (EE) project in which students are to gather and apply EE knowledge to design and…

Zha, Shenghua; Estes, Michele D.; Xu, Ling – Journal of Peer Learning, 2019
This meta-analytic study compared the effect of peer-led learning versus non peer-led learning on students' cognitive achievement in post-secondary education. Twenty-eight studies published in English from six countries between 1993 and 2017 were identified and used in the analysis. Result of the analysis on the random-effect model showed a…

Klaassen, Renate G. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Today, interdisciplinary education is a hot topic. Gaining an insight into the nature of interdisciplinary education may help when making design decisions for interdisciplinary education. In this study, we argue that, derived from interdisciplinary research, the choice of problem, the level of interaction between different disciplines and…

van Wyk, Norman; Johnston, Kevin; Möller, Klaus; Haas, Florian – Online Submission, 2020
Aim/Purpose: Academics are often requested to create and teach courses for emerging technologies with perhaps no experience or guidance on how to do so. Background: A Framework to develop IT courses for emerging technologies was created and tested to assist academics; the framework was then tested by developing an IoT course. Methodology: A…

Jossberger, Helen; Brand-Gruwel, Saskia; van de Wiel, Margje W.; Boshuizen, Henny P. – Vocations and Learning, 2015
In a large-scale top-down innovation operation in the Netherlands, workplace simulations have been implemented in vocational schools, where students are required to work independently and self-direct their learning. However, research has shown that the success of such large-scale top-down innovations depends on how well their execution in schools…

Könings, Karen D.; Bovill, Catherine; Woolner, Pamela – European Journal of Education, 2017
It is recognised that educational environments influence learning experiences, so it is important to ensure that educational buildings are designed to be fit for purpose. In order to ensure that educational buildings meet the needs of those who use them, all relevant stakeholders should be involved in the design process. However, this is not…
