Ford, Matthew J.; Fatehiboroujeni, Soheil; Fisher, Elizabeth M.; Ritz, Hadas – Advances in Engineering Education, 2023
Under the new ABET accreditation framework, students are expected to demonstrate "an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions." Traditional, recipe-based labs provide few opportunities for students to engage in realistic experimental design or…

Hanson, Ruby – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2021
This study sought to use simple, less costly, robust equipment and constructivist pedagogies, that promote and foster learning, to enable an intact class of 81 teacher trainees in a teaching programme to form their own authentic concepts through fun-filled, engaging social interactions. Data were collected by means of two-tier diagnostic…

Trundle, Kathy Cabe; Hagevik, Rita; Wheeler, Laura; Vela, Katherine N.; Parslow, Michelle; Joy, David N. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
Social connections are crucial for today's middle and high school students. We address this social need through a 3-H Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Cycle. Through the Three Sisters Garden activity presented here, we teach secondary school students about biodiversity and sustainability as we integrate the arts into STEM (STEAM). Students…

Nawanidbumrung, Witchayada; Samiphak, Sara; Inoue, Noriyuki – Science Education International, 2022
Teachers' beliefs are strong predictors of their practices. They guide how teachers understand the implementation of effective inquiry-based lessons. The cross-case analysis indicated that the fundamental problems observed in many Thai pre-service science teachers' classroom inquiries stemmed from their beliefs on teaching science. Although the…

Hilal Karabulut; Naime Elcan Kaynak; Ishak Afsin Kariper – Pedagogical Research, 2024
This study examines pre-service science teachers' opinions about STEM-supported hands-on activities and emergency remote teaching performed in laboratory courses during the pandemic. It was conducted with 14 pre-service teachers; they were asked to design an experiment by integrating STEM concepts and hands-on activities. The participants designed…

Williams; Zachary Conley; Hinton Antentor Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Physiology is an important field for students to gain a better understanding of biological mechanisms. Yet, many students often find it difficult to learn from lectures, resulting in poor retention. Here, we utilize a learning workshop model to teach students at different levels ranging from middle school to undergraduate. We specifically designed…

McDaniel, Kerrie – HAPS Educator, 2023
A traditional anatomy lab using microscope slides to examine the structures of the integumentary system was enhanced to increase connections to the real world, student engagement, and interest in the topic by adding a forensic storyline where students examined structures of the integument in order to "solve the crime". Student…

Katarína Kotuláková; Lubica Janošcová; Natália Priškinová; Katerina Trcková – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
The purpose of "practical work" in chemistry lessons as perceived by teachers varies and does not always correspond with an emphasis on procedural learning. Teachers project various objectives in them. These activities have various characteristics and potential. The goal of this study is to find out the set of characteristics of…

Mierdel, Julia; Bogner, Franz X. – Research in Science Education, 2021
Genetics is known to be one of the most challenging subjects in biology education because of its abstract concepts and processes. Therefore, hands-on experiments in authentic learning environments are supposed to increase comprehensibility and provide otherwise unavailable experiences to students. We applied a hands-on module in an out-of-school…
