Gyeonggeon Lee; Da Yeon Kang – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2024
Constructivist learning theories have emphasized learners' interactions with the environment, which includes their peers. Therefore, student cooperation/collaboration has been considered crucial in science education. However, although there have been many science cooperative/collaborative learning (CCL) studies reported in Korea, there has been a…

Holder, Lauren N.; Scherer, Hannah H.; Herbert, Bruce E. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2017
Engaging students in problem-solving concerning environmental issues in near-surface complex Earth systems involves developing student conceptualization of the Earth as a system and applying that scientific knowledge to the problems using practices that model those used by professionals. In this article, we review geoscience education research…

Epstein, Iris; Baljko, Melanie; Thumlert, Kurt; Kelly, Evadne; Smith, James Andrew; Su, Yelin; Zaki-Azat, Justeena; May, Natasha M. – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2020
Nursing, dance and studio-based arts, engineering, and athletic therapy are viewed as practice-oriented professions in which the teaching and situated learning of practical skills are central. In order to succeed, students must perform a series of performance-based assessments, which seemingly require an "able" body to enact complex…

Pande, Prajakt; Chandrasekharan, Sanjay – Studies in Science Education, 2017
Multiple external representations (MERs) are central to the practice and learning of science, mathematics and engineering, as the phenomena and entities investigated and controlled in these domains are often not available for perception and action. MERs therefore play a twofold constitutive role in reasoning in these domains. Firstly, MERs stand…

Ireland, Danyelle T.; Freeman, Kimberley Edelin; Winston-Proctor, Cynthia E.; DeLaine, Kendra D.; McDonald Lowe, Stacey; Woodson, Kamilah M. – Review of Research in Education, 2018
In this chapter, we argue that intersectionality is a theoretical and methodological framework by which education researchers can critically examine why and how students in STEM fields who are members of intersecting marginalized groups have distinctive experiences related to their social identities, other psychological processes, and educational…

Estaji, Masoomeh; Vafaeimehr, Roya – Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research, 2015
Academic writing, particularly writing research articles, is an indispensable part of every major in higher education. Hyland (2004) argued that a valuable means of exploring academic writing, and comparing the rhetorical features and preferences of different discourse communities, is through the metadiscourse analysis of the text. The present…

Jang, Hyewon – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2016
Gaps between science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and required workplace skills have been identified in industry, academia, and government. Educators acknowledge the need to reform STEM education to better prepare students for their future careers. We pursue this growing interest in the skills needed for STEM…

Chimka, Justin R.; Reed-Rhoads, Teri; Barker, Kash – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2008
Survival analysis is a statistical tool used to describe the duration between events. Many processes in medical research, engineering, and economics can be described using survival analysis techniques. This research involves studying engineering college student graduation using Cox proportional hazards models. Among male students with American…
