Nasre-Nasser, Raif Gregorio; de Oliveira, Gislaine Alves; Ribeiro, Maria Flavia Marques; Arbo, Bruno Dutra – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The teaching-learning process must constantly overcome the barriers imposed by rapid scientific and technological advances, as well as changes in the profiles of students and access to information. This study intended to analyze the perceptions of students and professors of medical courses of the teaching-learning strategies used in physiology at…

Owiredu, Joshua Kwabena; Asamoah, Evans; Ankomah, Richard; Aduamah, Diana Amoabea – Science Education International, 2023
Achieving deeper and permanent learning has always been the focus of teaching force. This purpose is independent of the teaching level or subject matter. Pre-service teachers' lack of interest and inability to connect learning levels are partly cited for their inability to develop this deeper and permanent learning of science concepts. In this…

Zhu, Lilin; Xiang, Gang – Physics Education, 2022
We report on the study of student difficulties regarding a heat engine in the context of a Stirling cycle by the method of measurement. An in-class test about a Stirling engine with a regenerator was taken by three classes, and the students were asked to perform one of the most basic activities--calculate the efficiency of the heat engine. Our…

Kortemeyer, Gerd – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Massive pretrained language models have garnered attention and controversy due to their ability to generate humanlike responses: Attention due to their frequent indistinguishability from human-generated phraseology and narratives and controversy due to the fact that their convincingly presented arguments and facts are frequently simply false. Just…

Bateman, Kathryn M.; Ham, Joy; Barshi, Naomi; Tikoff, Basil; Shipley, Thomas F. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Spatial skills are embedded in all aspects of the geosciences. The teaching and learning of spatial skills has been a challenging, but vital, endeavor. To support student learning of spatial skills in undergraduate courses, we designed scaffolds for spatially dependent content in a mid-level geoscience course using playdough to allow students to…

Pachla, Kristofer – ProQuest LLC, 2019
This dissertation explores the post-hoc programmatic outcomes and experiences of participants in a large scale, grant-funded professional development (PD) program. This PD was an immersive, two-year induction program designed to improve state testing scores in science, and support early career science educators as they transitioned into the…

Jones, Tamera; Romanov, Anastasia; Pratt, Justin M.; Popova, Maia – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Representational competence (RC) is a set of skills to reflectively use a variety of representations to draw inferences, make predictions, and support claims. Despite the important role RC plays in student success in chemistry and the considerable number of investigations into student ability to reason with representations, little is known about…

Goudsouzian, Lara K.; Lo, Stanley M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Problem-based learning encourages students to deepen their understanding of a concept by working through a real-world example of course content. Case studies represent a form of problem-based learning that engages students in realistic scenarios to achieve a deeper understanding of concepts. Case studies have been shown to facilitate the learning…

Price, Elizabeth Lamond – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) call upon K-12 science teachers to provide authentic science and engineering practices which deepen understanding of core ideas and crosscutting concepts (NGSS Lead States, 2013). Probeware technology provides exposure to these scientific practices; however, there is a disconnect between the frequency…

Sausan, Inas; Saputro, Sulistyo; Indriyanti, Nurma Yunita – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
Most junior high school students considered chemistry as a complicated science subject with an abstract concept, symbols, and terms that must be memorized. The difficulty of learning chemistry made students had low positive perceptions of chemistry. It was needed the right ways to introduce chemistry to them. The purpose of the multiple case study…
