Ketonen, Laura; Lehtinen, Antti; Koskinen, Pekka – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] In recent years, physics instructional labs have been under considerable research and development. However, there seems to be no shared understanding of how the assessment of instructional labs should be arranged to best serve students'…

Jackylou Sarsale; Dennis Alonzo; Aiza Caseñas; Cherry Zin Oo; Francis Ann Sy; Prose Ivy Yepes – Issues in Educational Research, 2024
Integrating literacy in science and mathematics learning and teaching has been an ongoing endeavour. There are frameworks developed to guide teachers' practices, but little is reported on assessing literacy simultaneously with scientific or mathematical content knowledge. We reviewed the literature on assessing literacy in science and mathematics…

Akuma, Fru Vitalis; Gaigher, Estelle – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
There are many challenges associated with Inquiry-Based Practical Work (IBPW), scattered in the school and post-school natural sciences education research literature. The goal of the systematic review presented in this paper, was to gather the contextual teaching challenges in the said literature, and then to create a detailed multi-perspective…

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…

Thys, Miranda; Verschaffel, Lieven; Van Dooren, Wim; Laevers, Ferre – Studies in Science Education, 2016
This paper provides a systematic review of instruments that have the potential to measure the quality of project-based science and technology (S&T) learning environments in elementary school. To this end, a comprehensive literature search was undertaken for the large field of S&T learning environments. We conducted a horizontal bottom-up…

Glaze, Amanda L.; Goldston, M. Jenice – Science Education, 2015
This critical analysis examined research on evolution in the United States between the years 2000-2014, spanning early classroom implementation of the National Science Education Standards to current research findings. First, we sought to understand how the research literature published between 2000 and 2014 contributed to knowledge of evolution…

Brownell, Sara E.; Kloser, Matthew J. – Studies in Higher Education, 2015
Recent calls for reform have advocated for extensive changes to undergraduate science lab experiences, namely providing more authentic research experiences for students. Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) have attempted to eschew the limitations of traditional "cookbook" laboratory exercises and have received…

Wilson, Sarah Beth; Varma-Nelson, Pratibha – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Peer-led team learning (PLTL) research has expanded from its roots in program evaluation of student success measures in Workshop Chemistry to a spectrum of research questions and qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods study approaches. In order to develop recommendations for PLTL research and propose best practices for faculty who will…

Madsen, Adrian; McKagan, Sarah B.; Sayre, Eleanor C. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
In this meta-analysis, we synthesize the results of 24 studies using the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (CLASS) and the Maryland Physics Expectations Survey (MPEX) to answer several questions: (1) How does physics instruction impact students' beliefs? (2) When do physics majors develop expert-like beliefs? and (3) How do…

Sandoval, William A.; Sodian, Beate; Koerber, Susanne; Wong, Jacqueline – Educational Psychologist, 2014
Science educators have long been concerned with how formal schooling contributes to learners' capacities to engage with science after school. This article frames productive engagement as fundamentally about the coordination of claims with evidence, but such coordination requires a number of reasoning capabilities to evaluate the strength of…

Meng, Elizabeth; Doran, Rodney L. – Science and Children, 1990
Tests and combinations of tests for evaluating science programs that are designed to incorporate content, process skills, and problem-solving skills are discussed. Described are the use of written and practical tests, observation and discussion, and projects and written work. (CW)

Doran, Rodney L. – Science and Children, 1990
Reviewed are several attempts to assess the science skills of elementary school youngsters including the First International Science Study (1970); The Second IEA Science Study (1986); the British Assessment of Performance Unit (1985); and two National Assessment of Educational Progress studies (1972-73 and 1986). Study characteristics are noted,…

Falkenberg, Karen; McClure, Patricia; McComb, Errin M. – SERVE Center for Continuous Improvement at UNCG, 2006
In considering science in afterschool, research was reviewed and is presented in this document on how students learn science; how science is assessed, particularly inquiry science; recommended practices for afterschool science; and current afterschool science programs. Databases such as ERIC, Wilson Web, and PsychINFO were searched using…

Anstrom, Kris – 1997
This study investigated what is known about content area instruction for linguistically and culturally diverse learners (LCDLs) in mainstream social studies, mathematics, science, and language arts classes. A review of recent literature looked at three major areas: (1) the theory and practice of standards for this group; (2) theory and practice of…
