Jürgen Russ; Niels Hammer – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
This study describes the process of developing a high-impact, low-cost, and low-maintenance air ventilation system for anatomy facilities. It employed the strategic application of Value Engineering (VE), assuring that the air ventilation system meets contemporary threshold limit values (TLVs) for formaldehyde in the working zone of dissection…

JonathanG. H. Stathakis; Jake A. Cravino; Ross Andrew Shalliker – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In today's global economy, the origin of the food we eat is becoming more and more difficult to identify. Verifying the authenticity of products to protect supply chains is a complicated problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Chemical authentication of foodstuffs often includes a mass spectrometer detector; however, they are costly…

Uddin, Md Jama; Panda, Bhujendra Nath; Agarwal, Prakash Chandra – Physics Education, 2023
Enhancing the problem-solving skills of learners belonging to socio-economically disadvantaged groups is a great concern in general and particularly in the Indian context. Problem-solving skills are the most important skills of the 21st century for all learners to acquire necessary competencies. The main purpose of this work is to investigate the…

Dziob, Daniel; Górska, Urszula; Kolodziej, Tomasz; Cepic, Mojca – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
The Chain Experiment competition has been held successfully for 6 years in Poland and is attracting growing interest. The competition provides participants with a task that involves designing and constructing a contraption that is an element in a chain of events that are based on various physical phenomena. The contraptions are then linked…

Soo-min Lim; Youngshin Kim – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
Each student's individual experience in learning is very important. Lower secondary school students are engaged in activities that focus on inquiry rather than the acquisition of scientific knowledge in science classrooms. Therefore, the experiences and thoughts of lower secondary school students in the stage of scientific inquiry need to be…

Budimaier, Florian; Hopf, Martin – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
Research on students' thinking about the particulate nature of matter has shown that students find it difficult to connect the macroscopic with the sub microscopic world. Although they have heard about atoms, students stay within a continuous model of matter or attribute macroscopic properties to particles. The research presented focuses on the…

Jinchang Liu; Qin Liu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The COVID-19 epidemic adversely impacted chemical engineering experiments(CEEs). Students underwent online learning, i.e., software simulation of the CEE course, instead of laboratory learning. A questionnaire survey revealed that students exhibited low enthusiasm for online learning, showing that online courses cannot ensure learning quality.…

Sanchez, Juan M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Systematic errors are unfortunately common in analyses performed by students in teaching laboratories. Quality control (QC) tools are required to detect and solve bias in laboratory analyses. However, although QC has become routine in real-world laboratories, it is still rarely applied in teaching laboratories. For this reason, systematic errors…

Ayuso Fernández, Gabriel Enrique; López-Banet, Luisa; Ruiz-Vidal, Alicia – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
One of the goals of secondary science education is to help students develop skills related to scientific inquiry. However, the results of previous studies have shown that students have difficulties in identifying problems, formulating hypotheses, drawing conclusions, and designing experiments. The main objective of this contribution is to indicate…

Katharine Hubbard; Dominic Henri; Graham Scott; Howard Snelling; Elke Roediger – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges for practical teaching within the sciences. While many instructors adopted innovative alternatives to conventional practicals, many relied on digital approaches that did not give students hands-on experience. In this study we evaluate the use of 'at home' practical kits used in first year physics…

Vázquez-Bernal, Bartolomé; Jiménez-Pérez, Roque – Science & Education, 2023
The objective of this work was the theoretical modeling of a construct based on teaching practice about the perception that pupils have of difficulties in problem solving (PS) in experimental sciences, specifically physics, to predict pupil performance in PS. The research was carried out with an incidental sample of second year of secondary…

Abby L. Manning; Bryanna N. Roos; Amber Flynn Charlebois; Kelly Hutchinson-Anderson; Stephen G. Tajc – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In an effort to further develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, a guided-inquiry-based, multioutcome organic chemistry synthesis and characterization experiment was developed. Students were provided with the protocol for a time-saving microwave-assisted acetanilide synthesis reaction from acetic anhydride and an unknown primary aryl…

Wang, Chun; Chen, Pengwen; Wang, Jingying; Ling, Yizhou – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Evidence-based reasoning and critical thinking are two crucial scientific abilities of students, sharing a close relationship with each other critical thinking is not just randomly refuting but a logical-reasoning thinking based on solid evidence. However, in real teaching circumstances of experiment classes, students easily directly accept the…

Baur, Armin – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Student problems (preconceptions, errors, and learner-specific approaches) that arise when planning and conducting experiments are relevant for lesson planning and the further development of teaching practice overall. student problems are understood as a learning opportunity. So far, little attention has been paid to the relationships between…
