Direct linkYafeng Zheng; Shebing Sun; Yang Yang; Chang Xu – Research in Science Education, 2024
This study explored the differences in the effects of directive versus reflective feedback on elementary school students' conceptual understanding and epistemological beliefs in a simulation-based online science inquiry environment, by comparing more fine-grained differences in the inquiry behaviors of students who received the two types of…

Schramm, J. W.; Jin, H.; Keeling, E. G.; Johnson, M.; Shin, H. J. – Research in Science Education, 2018
This paper reports on our use of a fine-grained learning progression to assess secondary students' reasoning through carbon-transforming processes (photosynthesis, respiration, biosynthesis). Based on previous studies, we developed a learning progression with four progress variables: explaining mass changes, explaining energy transformations,…

Hathcock, Stephanie J.; Dickerson, Daniel L.; Eckhoff, Angela; Katsioloudis, Petros – Research in Science Education, 2015
Creativity can and should play a role in students' science experiences. Beghetto ("Roeper Review" 29(4):265-270, 2007) suggested a framework for teachers to assist students in transforming their creative ideas into creative products. This framework involves taking time to listen to students' ideas, helping them recognize the constraints…

Meyer, Daniel Z.; Meyer, Allison Antink; Nabb, Keith A.; Connell, Margaretann G.; Avery, Leanne M. – Research in Science Education, 2013
A central concern in science education is promoting inquiry activities, and a significant amount of research in science education has addressed what inhibits this goal. However, this research has tended to be focused on implementation issues. Levels of implementation are correlated with extrinsic barriers such as time, resources and teacher…

Zion, Michal; Cohen, Smadar; Amir, Ruth – Research in Science Education, 2007
The Israeli high school biology curriculum comprises the Biomind program, in which students are engaged in an open inquiry learning process. The dynamic features of open inquiry often pose challenges to teachers in implementing the Biomind program. The current qualitative research shows that facilitating students in a dynamic open inquiry process…

Yung, Benny Hin Wai; Tao, Ping Kee – Research in Science Education, 2004
This case study describes an instructional approach that may be useful in inquiry-based science classes. It involves adopting a particular discourse orientation that aims at helping pupils value their science learning. The contextual descriptions and interpretation presented can help teachers form images of classroom practices that will be…
