Direct linkDagher, Zoubeida R.; Erduran, Sibel – Science & Education, 2023
Nine years after reconceptualizing the nature of science for science education using the family resemblance approach (FRA) (Erduran & Dagher, 2014a), the time is ripe for taking stock of what this approach has accomplished, and what future research it can facilitate. This reflective paper aims to accomplish three goals. The first addresses…

Download full textNelson, Connie; Stroink, Mirella – Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning, 2020
Community-campus engagement (CCE) offers transformative opportunities for collaborative knowledge creation. Over the last few decades, thoughtful energy has gone into identifying the parts of a CCE and then developing tools to study these parts, with discrete focus on community groups, students, and faculty. Bringing a complexity science approach…

Gagnon, Nicole L.; Komor, Anna J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Adult learners seeking a high school equivalency degree are a highly motivated group of students that almost universally meet outreach audience goals of serving minority, low-income, and other disadvantaged populations. Despite the demonstrated need of this population, these students are not commonly served by university-sponsored science outreach…

De Avila, Paulo, Jr.; Torres, Bayardo B. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2010
Understanding the scientific method fosters the development of critical thinking and logical analysis of information. Additionally, proposing and testing a hypothesis is applicable not only to science, but also to ordinary facts of daily life. Knowing the way science is done and how its results are published is useful for all citizens and…

Sherwood, Robert D.; And Others – 1990
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the use of videodisc technology in a school system. The videodisc "Understanding Chemistry and Energy" (Systems Impact, 1987) having 20 lessons was used in Physical Science classes (grade 9) and Biology classes (grades 10 and 11) in an experimental school. It was designed to be used with a variety of…
