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…

Dooly, Melinda; Sadler, Randall – Language Learning & Technology, 2016
This article outlines research into innovative language teaching practices that make optimal use of technology and Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) for an integrated approach to Project-Based Learning. It is based on data compiled during a 10- week language project that employed videoconferencing and "machinima" (short video clips…

Tortosa, Montserrat – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2012
In microcomputer based laboratories (MBL) and data loggers, one or more sensors are connected to an interphase and this to a computer. This equipment allows visualization in real time of the variables of an experiment and provides the possibility of measuring magnitudes which are difficult to measure with traditional equipment. Research shows that…

Campo, Daniel; Garcia-Vazquez, Eva – Journal of Biological Education, 2008
Reconstructing phylogenies from nucleotide sequences is a challenge for students because it strongly depends on evolutionary models and computer tools that are frequently updated. We present here an inquiry-based course aimed at learning how to trace a phylogeny based on sequences existing in public databases. Computer tools are freely available…

Moreno, Lorenzo; Gonzalez, Carina; Castilla, Ivan; Gonzalez, Evelio; Sigut, Jose – Computers & Education, 2007
In this paper, a methodological educational proposal based on constructivism and collaborative learning theories is described. The suggested approach has been successfully applied to a subject entitled "Computer Architecture and Engineering" in a Computer Science degree in the University of La Laguna in Spain. This methodology is…
