Burç Çeken; Nazim Taskin – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Multimedia learning, encapsulating both visual and verbal information, has become pivotal in educational settings, with extensive research underscoring its influence. However, a notable research gap exists concerning the application and effectiveness of multimedia learning principles, precisely segmenting, pre-training and modality,…

Harriet R. Tenenbaum; Jo Van Herwegen – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2024
Many technological applications (apps) purport to help children learn academic material. Building on research in developmental and educational psychology, we developed and tested an app to teach biological and physical science content to preschool children. There were 21 children in the control condition (M[subscript age] = 50.30 months, SD =…

Xiaoxue Leng; Fuxing Wang; Richard E. Mayer; Tingting Zhao – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
This study investigated the effectiveness of visual training or verbal training on how to use a text-picture processing strategy for learning from computer-based multimedia instructional material. Sixty-nine university students were randomly assigned to the verbal training group (students received text-based instruction for a text-picture…

Bain, Stevie A.; Meagher, Thomas R.; Barker, Daniel – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Bioinformatics is the use of computers in biology, particularly to analyse DNA and protein sequences and associated data. Bioinformatics has become crucial to most areas of life sciences research. However, bioinformatics education has not kept up with the pace of these advances. To help address this problem, we have designed an open-access…

Newland, James; Wong, Sissy S. – Science Teacher, 2022
This three-day integrated 5E inquiry lesson that includes physics, engineering, and biology concepts, uses physical computing and photoplethysmography to learn about one's pulse. The main learning objective is to have students communicate how wave phenomena, like a pulse, can be analyzed using sensors, which is called physical computing. This…

Susantini, Endang; Puspitawati, Rinie Pratiwi; Raharjo; Suaidah, Husfina Lailiyatus – Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2021
ICT-based learning provides opportunities for teachers and students to learn digitally, as well as letting the students become autonomous learners. One of the efforts to actualize such typical learning mode is to provide digitalized learning media, such as e-Books. An e-Book of metacognitive learning strategies aimed to train students'…

Hanson, Pamela K.; Stultz, Laura K. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) allow students to apply the scientific method to novel questions, which can serve as a gateway for mentored research. Here, we present a model for using cross-disciplinary CUREs to vertically integrate courses from different disciplines. This approach creates opportunities for students to (1)…

Cardoso, Josué; Caetano, Diego; Abreu, Raphael; Quadros, João; dos Santos, Joel; Ogasawara, Eduardo; Lignani, Leonardo – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
This paper analyzes Sim-Evolution, an educational simulator designed to help teachers presenting three basic principles of the theory of evolution by natural selection (TENS): the trait variation within a population, the heritability of trait variation, and the selective survival based on heritable traits. Sim-Evolution focuses on high school…

Schrum, Kelly; Majury, Niall; Simonelli, Anne Laure – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2021
Scholarly digital storytelling combines academic research and digital skills to communicate scholarly work within and beyond the classroom. This article presents three case studies that demonstrate efforts to integrate scholarly digital storytelling, a technology-enhanced assessment, across disciplines, geographic locations, and teaching contexts.…

Sarah J. Anderson; Heather A. Jamniczky; Olave E. Krigolson; Sylvain P. Coderre; Kent G. Hecker – npj Science of Learning, 2019
Advances in computer visualization enabling both 2D and 3D representation have generated tools to aid perception of spatial relationships and provide a new forum for instructional design. A key knowledge gap is the lack of understanding of how the brain neurobiologically processes and learns from spatially presented content, and new quantitative…

Salas-Rueda, Ricardo-Adán; De-La-Cruz-Martínez, Gustavo; Alvarado-Zamorano, Clara; Prieto-Larios, Estefanía – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
The aim of this mixed research is to analyze the students' perception about the use of the collaborative wall in the educational process of global climate change considering data science. The collaborative wall is a web application that allows the active participation of students and discussion of ideas in the classroom. During the face-to-face…

Mata, Liliana; Stoica, Ionut – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2019
The main aim of the research was to identify the attitude of pre-service and in-service Biology teachers towards the use of the Internet. In this research, the Internet Attitude Scale has been applied, a validated and standardized instrument. The scale was applied to 210 Biology teachers, of whom 155 are pre-service teachers and 55 are in-service…

Zhang, Lishan; VanLehn, Kurt – Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2016
Science instructors need questions for use in exams, homework assignments, class discussions, reviews, and other instructional activities. Textbooks never have enough questions, so instructors must find them from other sources or generate their own questions. In order to supply biology instructors with questions for college students in…
