Christidou, Dimitra; Voulgari, Iro; Tisza, Gabriella; Norouzi, Behnaz; Kinnula, Marianne; Iivari, Netta; Papavlasopoulou, Sofia; Gollerizo, Adrián; Lozano González, Jose María; Konstantinidi Sofrona, Dafni – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
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…

Guzman-Munoz, Francisco Javier – Educational Psychology, 2017
Mixing examples of different categories (interleaving) has been shown to promote inductive learning as compared with presenting examples of the same category together (massing). In three studies, we tested whether the advantage of interleaving is exclusively due to the mixing of examples from different categories or to the temporal gap introduced…

De Vries, Bregje; Schouwenaars, Ilona; Stokhof, Harry – Science Education International, 2017
The Ark of Inquiry seeks to support inquiry-based science education (IBSE) in different countries and school systems across Europe by teachers that may differ in light of their prior experiences with IBSE. Given the differences, the assumption is that teachers need to make adaptations to the approach and materials of the Ark of Inquiry. This study…

De Groot-Reuvekamp, M. J.; Van Boxtel, Carla; Ros, Anje; Harnett, Penelope – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2014
This study focuses on the comparison of the English and the Dutch primary history curriculum regarding the understanding of historical time. We compare different aspects of both curricula that can apply to other subjects as well, for example the question "what age would be appropriate to start a subject in primary school?" Here, we…

Verpoorten, Dominique; Westera, Wim – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
The purpose of this article is to gain an insight into the effects of practicing short, frequent, and structured reflection breaks interspersed with the learning material in a computer-based course. To that end, the study sets up a standardized control trial with two groups of secondary school pupils. The study shows that while performance is not…

Küpers, Elisa; van Dijk, Marijn; van Geert, Paul – International Journal of Music Education, 2014
In this article, we provide a process description of scaffolding in music lessons based on the scaffolding model of Van Geert and Steenbeek (2005). Scaffolding is a form of socially mediated learning in which teacher and student constantly adapt their behavior to one another in order to reach a goal. To illustrate this process, data from…

van Eijck, Michiel; Roth, Wolff-Michael – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
Science educators are confronted with the challenge to accommodate in their classes an increasing cultural and linguistic diversity that results from globalization. Challenged by the call to work towards valuing and keeping this diversity in the face of the canonical nature of school science discourse, we propose a new way of thinking about and…

van Loon-Hillen, Nelleke; van Gog, Tamara; Brand-Gruwel, Saskia – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
A large body of research has shown that for novice learners, instruction that relies more heavily on worked examples than on problem solving, is more effective for learning as shown by higher test performance. Moreover, this beneficial effect is often obtained with less acquisition time and lower cognitive load during acquisition and test phase.…
