Dutta, Rubina; Mantri, Archana; Singh, Gurjinder; Singh, Narinder Pal – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Digital electronics is a fundamental subject for engineering students, and it enables the students to learn design-based approaches and solve complex engineering problems. Students learn about minimization techniques for reducing the hardware components and size of the circuit by solving complex Boolean equations. The Karnaugh map (K-map) is one…

Liu, Qingtang; Ma, Jingjing; Yu, Shufan; Wang, Qiyun; Xu, Suxiao – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
The microscopic composition of substances is a piece of essential but abstract knowledge in chemistry. Junior high school students may experience difficulty in mental representation when learning micro concepts, which leads to problems such as unsatisfactory academic performance and low learning motivation. Augmented reality (AR) is an optimal…

Byukusenge, Céline; Nsanganwimana, Florien; Tarmo, Albert Paulo – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Some science subjects are often perceived to be difficult and boring by students due to their nature and the way they are taught. This study sought to check the effectiveness of the technology-enhanced instruction method with comprehensive use of virtual labs and animations in teaching nerve cells' (neurons and glial cells) structures and…

Walsh, Yoselyn; Magana, Alejandra J.; Feng, Shi – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
The current study investigates the differences in students' explanations of friction concepts after the use of the visuohaptic simulation with two different of sequenced approaches: enhanced visual first to enhanced visual and haptic feedback second (V [right arrow] V + H), and haptic enhanced first to enhanced visual and haptic feedback second (H…

Taramopoulos, Athanasios; Psillos, Dimitrios – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2019
This study investigates the impact of utilizing dynamically linked concrete and abstract representations of objects in modern, virtual electric circuit laboratories on the cognitive evolution and the representational fluency of high school students. The students (N = 27, aged 16-17) were randomly divided into two classes: the first class used a…

van Joolingen, W. R.; Aukes, Annika V.; Gijlers, H.; Bollen, L. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2015
Modeling is an important approach in the teaching and learning of science. In this study, we attempt to bring modeling within the reach of young children by creating the SimSketch modeling system, which is based on freehand drawings that can be turned into simulations. This system was used by 247 children (ages ranging from 7 to 15) to create a…

Lamb, Richard L.; Annetta, Len – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
The purpose of the study was to review the efficacy of online chemistry simulations in a high school chemistry class and provide discussion of the factors that may affect student learning. The sample consisted of 351 high school students exposed to online simulations. Researchers administered a pretest, intermediate test and posttest to measure…

Liu, Han-Chin; Andre, Thomas; Greenbowe, Thomas – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2008
It is complicated to design a computer simulation that adapts to students with different characteristics. This study documented cases that show how college students' prior chemistry knowledge level affected their interaction with peers and their approach to solving problems with the use of computer simulations that were designed to learn…
