Liying Zhu; Daner Sun; Ma Luo; Weidong Liu; Song Xue – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
The laboratory plays a crucial role in science education. However, teacher education for pre-service teachers' design performance in the laboratory is still challenging. This study paved the way for redesigning traditional laboratory teaching into a student-centered approach: inquiry-based design thinking (IBDT). To investigate the impact of the…

Alstein, Paul; Krijtenburg-Lewerissa, Kim; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
This article describes the design and evaluation of a simulation environment for special relativity (SR) education at the secondary level. In recent years, SR has become increasingly popular in secondary school curricula worldwide. Because the key concepts in SR are very remote from everyday experience, they are difficult for students to learn.…

Roth, Tamara; Scharfenberg, Franz-Josef; Mierdel, Julia; Bogner, Franz X. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
The integration of scientific modeling into science teaching is key to the development of students' understanding of complex scientific phenomena, such as genetics. With this in mind, we conducted an introductory hands-on module during an outreach gene technology laboratory on the structure of DNA. Our module examined the influence of two model…

Fischer, Judith; Mitchell, Rudolph; del Alamo, Jesus – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2007
The Microelectronics WebLab at MIT allows students to do actual (not simulated) laboratory research on state-of-the art equipment through the Internet. This study assesses the use of WebLab in a junior-level course on microelectronic devices and circuits in 2004-05 and 2005-06. In quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, students and…
