Direct linkAntonio García-Carmona – Science & Education, 2025
For many years, hegemonic approaches to teaching the nature of science (NOS) have focused mainly on understanding some epistemic (i.e., rational, or cognitive) aspects involved in the construction of science. So, aspects of a non-epistemic (i.e., non-rational, contextual, or extra-scientific) nature have been practically neglected in these…

The problem here dealt with concerns physics education, and specifically the concept of force. The idea behind this research is that a historical approach to the teaching of such a notion is of great help for the students to fully understand the meaning of this basic physical magnitude. For, most of scientific concepts can be better grasped by the…

Aviaja Lyberth Hauptmann; Stephanie Maroney; Jessica Bissett Perea; Maria L. Marco – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2025
New approaches to microbiology education are needed to ensure equitable representation in microbiology and to build literacy in microbiology and science broadly. To address this goal, we developed a course held at the collegiate level that uniquely integrated microbiology, Indigenous studies, science and technology studies, and arts and…

Hendra Y. Agustian – Science & Education, 2025
Wicked problems have been characterised by their high epistemological and axiological complexities. These are the kinds of problems that may invade our classrooms because many of them concern many stakeholders, including our students. Several approaches have been developed to address wicked problems in various contexts. However, little is known…

Straksiene, Giedre; Ben-Horin, Oded; Espeland, Magne; Robberstad, Janne – Cogent Education, 2022
The main aim of this paper is to address the increasing need for science-art integration across all levels of education globally. Specifically, the need to identify a signature pedagogy for the Global Science Opera (GSO) that can be used in teaching and learning contexts in formal and non-formal education. This part of the paper draws upon the…

Park, Wonyong; Brock, Richard – Science & Education, 2023
The notion of family resemblance has recently emerged as a promising and fruitful approach to characterising the nature of science (NOS) in science education research, offering solutions to some perplexing challenges such as capturing both the domain-general and domain-specific features of science with a single framework. At the same time,…

Kittle, Joshua D.; Duff, Michael W.; Engesser, John M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Space-related activities remain a fertile environment for classroom applications of chemistry through both traditional lecture styles and through collaborative learning projects. With the resurgence of lunar exploration and the expansion of the commercial space sector, serious scholarship, planning, and resources have been focused on extracting…

McComas, Kim Krusen – Gifted Child Today, 2022
A phenomenon from the natural world, cricket chirping behavior in relation to ambient temperature, is used as the springboard for engaging the curiosity of gifted students in an interdisciplinary classroom curriculum. Mathematics and science standards and disciplinary practices are prominent in the investigation, while other disciplines deepen the…

McComas, William F.; Burgin, Stephen R. – Science & Education, 2020
While a mutually agreed-upon definition of STEM education remains elusive, there is no doubt that instructional models and ideas put forward with the STEM label have had a tremendous impact on thinking, debate, and practice in schools worldwide. At issue is the degree to which some or all the STEM disciplines must be taught in a concurrent or…

Vyhnal, Christopher R.; Mahoney, Elizabeth H. R.; Lin, Yuan; Radpour, Roxanne; Wadsworth, Henry – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
We present herein a module of pigment synthesis experiments that could be adapted and implemented in a variety of curricular settings. At the conclusion of each of the past two spring terms at our high school, we offered a 4 day short course on the chemical synthesis of pigments used in art. As part of the course, our students synthesized four…

Park, Wonyong – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2020
Looking at the current discourse on how to teach disaster, one apparent gap is that the scientific aspect of disaster is discussed and taught mostly in isolation from its human aspect. Disaster educators seem to be primarily interested in addressing issues such as social vulnerability, community resilience, personal action-related knowledge and…

Terry Locke – Cultural Studies and Transdisciplinarity in Education, 2023
Chapter 8, "Locating sense of place in the school curriculum", begins with general reflections on curriculum, particularly in relation to the so-called "knowledge society" and critical pedagogy. It then reviews some of the literature both theorising and advocating for a place-responsive curriculum in the context of compulsory…

Celestino, Teresa; Marchetti, Fabio – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This paper focuses on system concept use in teaching either chemical core concepts or interdisciplinary chemistry-related topics. The system concept is important in order to develop global competences, and chemistry teaching plays a key role in this context. A questionnaire has been administered to two different samples, Italian teachers and…

For some professionally, vocationally, or technically oriented careers, curricula delivered in higher education establishments may focus on teaching material related to a single discipline. By contrast, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary teaching(MITT) results in improved affective and cognitive learning and critical…

Bascos, Neil Andrew D.; Craig, Paul A.; Lapeña, Jose Florencio F.; Ortiz, Phillip; Yu, Gracia Fe B.; Macaulay, Janet O. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Ensuring currency with trends, knowledge, and understanding of teaching and learning is essential for all educators. Researching learning and teaching is an enormous field which can range from examining the practical impact of new classes to research into the processes of learning. The "Publishing in Education" conference session…
