Schallert-Vallaster, Stefanie; Lavicza, Zsolt – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2021
When technologies like GeoGebra are implemented in mathematics lessons, the focus should be on learners and their learning processes rather than on technologies. Student-centeredness is a core characteristic of flipped classroom approaches. Recent further developments of flipped classroom approaches aim to foster learning through inquiry in…

Xenofontos, Nikoletta A.; Hovardas, Tasos; Zacharia, Zacharias C.; Jong, Ton – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
We examined student performance in a computer-supported learning environment after students undertook, among others, a graphing task within an inquiry context. Students were assigned in two conditions: (a) Students were given one variable, and they had to select the second one to construct their graph; (b) students were given four variables, and…

Prapti Utami, Retno; Rohaeti, Eli – Online Submission, 2019
This research aimed at describing the effectiveness of the macromedia flash based inquiry learning in improving students' concept understanding in chemistry learning. It was an experimental research with post-test only design. The population was the eleventh-grade science students of state high school 5 Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The sample in this…

Gil, Einat; Gibbs, Alison L. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2017
In this study, we follow students' modeling and covariational reasoning in the context of learning about big data. A three-week unit was designed to allow 12th grade students in a mathematics course to explore big and mid-size data using concepts such as trend and scatter to describe the relationships between variables in multivariate settings.…

Mulholland, P.; Anastopoulou, S.; Collins, T.; Feisst, M.; Gaved, M.; Kerawalla, L.; Paxton, M.; Scanlon, E.; Sharples, M.; Wright, M. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2012
This paper describes the development of nQuire, a software application to guide personal inquiry learning. nQuire provides teacher support for authoring, orchestrating, and monitoring inquiries as well as student support for carrying out, configuring, and reviewing inquiries. nQuire allows inquiries to be scripted and configured in various ways,…

Wedler, Henry B.; Cohen, Sarah R.; Davis, Rebecca L.; Harrison, Jason G.; Siebert, Matthew R.; Willenbring, Dan; Hamann, Christian S.; Shaw, Jared T.; Tantillo, Dean J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2012
We describe accommodations that we have made to our applied computational-theoretical chemistry laboratory to provide access for blind and visually impaired students interested in independent investigation of structure-function relationships. Our approach utilizes tactile drawings, molecular model kits, existing software, Bash and Perl scripts…

Schneider, B.; Wallace, J.; Blikstein, P.; Pea, R. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2013
In this paper, we describe the development and evaluation of a microworld-based learning environment for neuroscience. Our system, BrainExplorer, allows students to discover the way neural pathways work by interacting with a tangible user interface. By severing and reconfiguring connections, users can observe how the visual field is impaired and,…

Alaie, Adrienne; Teller, Virginia; Qiu, Wei-gang – American Biology Teacher, 2012
Since biomedical science has become increasingly data-intensive, acquisition of computational and quantitative skills by science students has become more important. For non-science students, an introduction to biomedical databases and their applications promotes the development of a scientifically literate population. Because typical college…

Trundle, Kathy Cabe; Hobson, Sally – Science and Children, 2011
Introducing science inquiry early in young children's education is imperative, and providing opportunities for conducting investigations that develop process skills can lay a foundation for later learning. Combining inquiry-based instruction with appropriate technology allows the students to explore, reason, test, and revise their ideas about…

Pernaa, Johannes; Aksela, Maija – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
The topics of nature, for example semiochemicals, are motivating topics, which can be used to teach organic chemistry at high school level. The history, classifications, a few important applications of semiochemicals, and an semiochemical that can be synthesized in the laboratory are presented. The laboratory synthesis is carried out through the…

Crippen, Kent J.; Archambault, Leanna – Computers in the Schools, 2012
Inquiry-based instruction has become a hallmark of science education and increasingly of integrated content areas, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Because inquiry-based instruction very clearly contains surface, deep, and implicit structures as well as engages students to think and act like scientists,…

Linenberger, Kimberly J.; Cole, Renee S.; Sarkar, Somnath – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
We present a guided-inquiry experiment using Spartan Student Version, ready to be adapted and implemented into a general chemistry laboratory course. The experiment provides students an experience with Spartan Molecular Modeling software while discovering the relationships between the structure and properties of molecules. Topics discussed within…

Beke, Tamás – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2009
In the 21st century the acquirement and transmission useful knowledge has a key role not only in Hungary but in the whole world as well. In my opinion, the interdisciplinary integration helps teaching efficiently more things than teaching each subject separately. The meaning of integration is approximately that we put together and combine…

Truxaw, Mary; Olson, Mark – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2010
This paper articulates features of Internet literacy practices that preservice mathematics and science teachers found compelling and important for their pupils' learning. As part of secondary mathematics and science methods courses, 24 mathematics and science preservice teachers (PSTs) conducted a scaffolded investigation into the literacy…
