Christopher J. Panebianco; Poorna Dutta; Jillian R. Frost; Angela Huang; Olivia S. Kim; James C. Iatridis; Andrea J. Vernengo; Jennifer R. Weiser – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2023
Bioadhesives are an important class of biomaterials for wound healing, hemostasis, and tissue repair. To develop the next generation of bioadhesives, there is a societal need to teach trainees about their design, engineering, and testing. This study designed, implemented, and evaluated a hands-on, inquiry-based learning (IBL) module to teach…

Zoupidis, Anastasios; Tselfes, Vasilis; Kariotoglou, Petros – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2023
In this study we investigated pre-service early childhood teachers' (referred to as student teachers) beliefs that might influence their intention to use inquiry-based learning methods that have been taught on an inquiry-based science course. During this course, the student teachers (N = 17) participated in a number of classroom experiments…

Pearce, Michelle K.; Lee, Tammy D. – Journal of Interdisciplinary Teacher Leadership, 2021
This study investigates the impact of instructional methods based on a one-day informal science field experience comparing a teacher-centered methodology versus a student-centered (inquiry-based) methodology. The 5E learning cycle was selected as the framework for implementing the inquiry-based learning for the treatment groups as it provides the…

MacDonald, Amy; Danaia, Lena; Sikder, Shukla; Huser, Carmen – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2021
There is a growing interest in the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) into early childhood education programs. However, existing research suggests that many educators experience uncertainty, or even fear, when it comes to teaching STEM content. This article presents baseline data about Australian early…

Shawn Daniel Montag – Online Submission, 2024
The traditional methods of teaching organic chemistry laboratories do not seem to effectively promote content retention, communication skills, or valuable soft skills. The purpose of this convergent triangulation mixed-methods, scholarship of teaching and learning action research study was to differentiate the impact of expository laboratory…

Kim, Alice S. N.; Popovic, Celia; Farrugia, Laura; Saleh, Salma A. F.; Maheux-Pelletier, Geneviève; Frake-Mistak, Mandy – International Journal for Academic Development, 2021
This study reports on an investigation into the experiences of faculty engaged in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Common challenges that emerged across the interviews included competing priorities, and a lack of background knowledge and research skills relevant to their SoTL work. These challenges were often overcome by working…

Minshall, Brianna L.; Yezierski, Ellen J. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
For six semesters, activities have been incorporated into first year general chemistry courses in an effort to build student conceptual chemistry knowledge. The activities follow a learning cycle pedagogy (similar to Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning or POGIL activities) and consist of guiding questions involving animations, models,…

Gai, Lichun; Li, Yanmei; Zheng, Changlong; Wei, Bing; Jiang, Zhimeng; Lederman, Judith S. – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
While helping students develop informed views about nature of scientific inquiry (VNOSI) has been emphasised in science education, little is known regarding students' current VNOSI at a certain grade level and whether there was evidence of higher attainment of VNOSI in students in higher grades as compared to lower grades? The purpose of this…

Kotul'akova, Katarina – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
Today, science education demands preparation of scientifically literate people, emphasizing more the process of working with information than owning it. Such a task requires a deep understanding of pedagogical content knowledge by science teachers. This study focuses on revealing the beliefs of prospective chemistry teachers during their teaching…

Pols, C. F. J.; Dekkers, P. J. J. M.; de Vries, M. J. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
This paper explores students' ability to analyse and interpret empirical data as inadequate data analysis skills and understandings may contribute to the renowned disappointing outcomes of practical work in secondary school physics. Selected competences, derived from a collection of leading curricula, are explored through interviews and practical…
