Liying Zhu; Daner Sun; Ma Luo; Weidong Liu; Song Xue – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
The laboratory plays a crucial role in science education. However, teacher education for pre-service teachers' design performance in the laboratory is still challenging. This study paved the way for redesigning traditional laboratory teaching into a student-centered approach: inquiry-based design thinking (IBDT). To investigate the impact of the…

Salvador Gallegos-Martínez; Kristen Aideé Pérez-Alvarez; Grissel Trujillo-de Santiago; Mario Moisés Alvarez – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2025
Purpose: Hands-on training in tissue engineering is often associated with specialized labs and expensive equipment, such as CO[subscript 2] incubators. To minimize the use of costly commercial incubators and provide a more vivid engineering experience in a biology lab, we present a hands-on project that introduces medium to large groups of…

Gumilar, Surya; Ismail, Ali – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Physics textbooks are a learning resource for students to acquire knowledge and information. The findings of previous studies on physics textbooks analysis have mostly focused on representations of gender, the nature of science, and scientific literacy. This study, therefore, extends the critical content analysis of physics textbooks…

Hakki Kadayifc¸i; Burcu Is¸ik; Funda Ekici – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In this study, students' understanding of some important features of competitive elimination and substitution reactions of alcohols was examined based on their participation in a guided inquiry activity of two organic laboratory experiments: the dehydration of cyclohexanol and the conversion of tert-butyl alcohol into tert-butyl chloride. Students…

Pascal Kaneza; Jean Baptiste Nkurunziza; Innocent Twagilimana – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
The main objective of this intervention study was to investigate the effect of three teaching approaches, namely the traditional teaching method (TTM), a teacher-based demonstration experiment (TBDE) and a student hands-on experiment (SHE), on students' academic performance. A total number of 324 senior five students studying chemistry as one of…

Cornelia Stiller; Matthias Wilde – Journal of Experimental Education, 2025
Scientific inquiry is an inquiry-based learning approach that emphasizes student investigation of research questions and the utilization of scientific methods to address those research questions. One such method is experimentation, which is viewed as an open-ended problem-solving process that is mostly perceived by students as a complex procedure.…

Liu, Li; Ling, Yizhou; Yu, Jing; Fu, Qiang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This study developed a complexometric titration simulation program based on LabVIEW. With built-in approximation and rigorous algorithms, the program can easily simulate and plot a single or a group of complexometric titration curves. On the basis of this program, we developed and implemented an online course to guide undergraduates to (i) compare…

Ayfer Mutlu – Journal of Science Learning, 2023
This study investigates the effectiveness of using a REACT strategy instruction enriched with guided inquiry-based experiments to improve 7th-grade students' understanding of mixtures compared to conventional teacher-centered instruction. A convergent parallel mixed-method design was used, and 39 middle school students were divided into…

Pierratos, Theodoros; Sotirios, Mandiliotis; Eirini, Dermitzaki – Physics Education, 2022
Teaching of centripetal force in secondary education is a challenging task because of its central role in the circular and rotational motion. The specific equipment needed for experiments that explore the physical law which governs the centripetal force is usually limited in schools. The experiment presented in this paper, is based on a device…
