Chattopadhyay, Tanay – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
In this article, simple models of optical computing circuits (1 x 4 demultiplexer (DEMUX), 4 x 1 multiplexer (MUX), Boolean logic, and half-adder (HA)) are shown with mechanically controlled plane mirrors. Photographs of the proposed computational circuits are also shown. It is very useful for the school student to understand optical logic and…

Winnifred Wijnker; Arthur Bakker; Paul Drijvers – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2024
Interest is key to learning. Video is a promising tool for interest development in education, but professionals in education are in need of more theory-grounded guidance for production, selection, and use of videos. In previous studies, we developed and validated a model on film's interest raising mechanisms in educational contexts, called the…

Eymur, Gülüzar; Capps, Daniel K. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
We present an example of a novel, model-based approach to instruction in which learners constructed a representation of a specific phenomenon, evaluated their representation, and then revised it, via an abstraction process, to construct a model. The example took place in high school in the context of solution chemistry. The aim of the instruction…

Tegegne, Tamene Atsebiha; Kelkay, Asrat Dagnew – Cogent Education, 2023
The aim of this study was to compare the 5E learning model with traditional learning methods in terms of their effect on students' conceptual understanding of water subtopics. The participants of the study were grade 8 students of 2021 academic year. While 27 of them were randomly assigned to the experimental group, the other 27 were assigned to…

Arik, Merve; Topçu, Mustafa Sami – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
Studies maintain that computational thinking (CT) is associated with science content and scientific processes as well as with many disciplines. It is thought that designing teaching processes in which science and CT processes take place together makes science learning more meaningful. With this in mind, in this study, the researchers integrated…

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…

Küçük, Taner; Bayir, Eylem; Zorluoglu, Seraceddin Levent – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2023
In this study, the effect of teaching based on the 5E instructional model on students' conceptual learning was investigated. The participants consisted of three inclusion students with mild mental disabilities who were studying in the sixth grade of a secondary school. A lesson plan based on the 5E teaching model was designed, focusing on the…

Coban, Merve; Costu, Bayram – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study aims to integrate biomimicry into science education by proposing a teaching approach for primary school students. An action research approach was used. The developed 'Biomimicry Teaching Approach' was applied in a 5th grade classroom in a public school in Turkey where one of the authors is a teacher. According to this approach, the…

Monroe, Christin B.; Stein, Andrew; Tolman, Cynthia – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2022
It is essential for introductory level chemistry students to understand atomic models and how atoms interact to form chemical bonds. The tactile model in this article utilizes marbles to represent subatomic particles, a cup to represent the nucleus and wooden rings to simulate the electron orbitals. These inexpensive items can be combined to…

Atok Miftachul Hudha; Handri Oktapiani; Abdulkadir Rahardjanto – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2024
This study investigated the effectiveness of the orientation, identify, discussion, decision, and engage in behavior (OIDDE) learning model in enhancing biology learning outcomes, critical thinking, ethical attitudes, and engagement among high school students in Indonesia. Employing a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests, the…

Yip Chin Chin; Chua Kah Heng – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2024
Learning the periodic table of elements can pose a challenge for students due to the complex organization and relationships between the different elements. Game-based interventions have been shown in past studies to be one of the feasible ways to overcome this challenge. In this research, a tabletop game, called "Little Periodic" was…

Oguz Unver, Ayse; Okulu, Hasan Zuhtu – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2022
One of the most challenging tasks for teachers in projects is to develop creative ideas. Due to the linear system perspective of education, fostering students' creativity is restricted. However, engineering design and scientific process skills that comprise creativity have an iterative structure. An iterative process-oriented education enables…

Ahmet Tasdere; Mehmet Fatih Kaya – Science Education International, 2023
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the Common Knowledge Construction Model (CKCM) on 10th-grade students' conceptual understanding of the buoyancy and density of liquids topic. Within a pre-experimental (one group pre-test/post-test) research design, this study was conducted with 22 of 10th-grade students. To collect data, the…

Carroll Steward, Kimberly; Bhattacharya, Devarati; Chandler, Mark; Forbes, Cory T. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
In the past decade, emphasis on promoting "climate literacy" in K-16 science classrooms has increased. Teachers play a critical role in cultivating these opportunities, especially in secondary science classrooms. However, most prior climate education research has focused on students and student learning; little is known about how…

Young, Nicholas T.; Allen, Grant; Aiken, John M.; Henderson, Rachel; Caballero, Marcos D. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Computation is a central aspect of 21st century physics practice; it is used to model complicated systems, to simulate impossible experiments, and to analyze mountains of data. Physics departments and their faculty are increasingly recognizing the importance of teaching computation to their students. We recently completed a national survey of…
