Alicia Palacios; Virginia Pascual; Daniel Moreno-Mediavilla – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2024
Virtual simulations are a very useful educational resource to improve the teaching of chemistry. Their use makes it possible to facilitate the comprehension of concepts, promotes the development of scientific competences and even improves student attitudes toward chemistry. However, it is important to point out that a simulation by itself is not…

Nergis Makal; Salih Çepni – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
K-12 education as an enterprise always has two main aims; to teach basic skills and knowledge and to cultivate moral citizenry. There is substantial evidence that empathy can promote morality and character development through education. To shed light on what has been done and to identify the pathways already established, a thematic review of…

Sugano, Shalom Grace C.; Mamolo, Leo A. – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
Literature shows that there is very little research focusing on the analysis of the effectiveness of teaching methodologies on the affective domain of the students. Effective instruction should be designed to cater to the individualities of learners that holistically develop not only the cognitive but also the affective domain. This requires…

Mukagihana, Josiane; Nsanganwimana, Florien; Aurah, Catherine M. – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Best instructional methods are essential tools to bring desirable changes in pre-service science teachers. The available literature lacks enough meta-analytic review illustrating the effect of various instructional methods on pre-service science teachers' learning outcomes. This meta-analytic review identified instructional methods used for…

Lin, Jing-Wen; Yen, Miao-Hsuan; Liang, Jia-Chi; Chiu, Mei-Hung; Guo, Chorng-Jee – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
This study used content analysis to examine the most studied conceptual change factors that influence students' science learning processes and their learning outcomes. The reviewed research included empirical studies published since Posner et al. proposed their conceptual change model 30 years ago (from 1982 to 2011). One hundred sixteen SSCI…

Apugliese, Andrew; Lewis, Scott E. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2017
Meta-analysis can provide a robust description of the impact of educational reforms and also offer an opportunity to explore the conditions where such reforms are more or less effective. This article describes a meta-analysis on the impact of cooperative learning on students' chemistry understanding. Modifiers in the meta-analysis are purposefully…
