This study examined similarities and differences in how U.S. and Japanese middle-school science teachers teach science through inquiry. Classroom practices were examined through observations in the United States (N = 9) and Japan (N = 14). The observational data were coded and quantified based on the rubric that incorporated 2 dimensions: student…

Hilbelink, Amy J. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2009
Results of a study designed to determine the effectiveness of implementing three-dimensional (3D) stereo images of a human skull in an undergraduate human anatomy online laboratory were gathered and analysed. Mental model theory and its applications to 3D relationships are discussed along with the research results. Quantitative results on 62 pairs…

Lavonen, Jari; Angell, Carl; Bymen, Reijo; Henriksen, Ellen K.; Koponen, Ismo T. – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2007
The purpose of the study was to determine the typical teaching methods used in upper secondary physics in Finland and Norway and how students would like to study physics. Moreover, the further aim of seeing how certain background variables may explain students' desire to study their chosen specialist subject, physics or social science…

Zhang, BaoHui; Liu, Xiufeng; Krajcik, Joseph S. – Science Education, 2006
Holding the premise that the development of expertise is a continuous process, this study concerns expert models and modeling processes associated with a modeling tool called Model-It. Five advanced Ph.D. students in environmental engineering and public health used Model-It to create and test models of water quality. Using "think aloud" technique…

Cobbs, Henry L., Jr.; Wilmoth, James Noel – 1990
The Computing Potential in Atlanta Public School Education (CPAPSE) was developed to determine teacher attitudes about computing potential as an instructional tool and to compare current practice with potential computing applications to determine the degree to which computer resources are being used in grades 2, 3, and 4. During the last week of…
