Azam Ghazali; Zakiah Mohamad Ashari; Joanne Hardman; Mohd Nazir Md Zabit – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2025
Early science learning has the potential to enhance children's social interaction development, but a lack of resources in schools requires well-structured activities and a supportive learning environment. In a project aimed at helping children develop an interest in science education from an early age, this describes a Project-Based,…

Laura C. Giojalas; Leticia García Romano; Giuliana Lingua; Rocío B. Martín – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Molecular Cell Biology (MCB) should be taught according to the scientific practices, avoiding cumulative and memory knowledge construction, but favoring scientific thinking. A way to achieve this goal is to apply activities involving scientific news, which construct knowledge through significant learning and the development of critical thinking.…

Firmansyah, Juli; Suhandi, Andi; Setiawan, Agus; Permanasari, Anna – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2022
This study evaluated the success or failure of using Virtual Workspace (VW) in a projectbased physics laboratory. This study uses a qualitative approach with 4E evaluation methods: educational effectiveness, ease of use, involvement, and environment. Data were collected through a questionnaire to evaluate the implementation and practical functions…

Vaille Dawson – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Internationally, there are calls for students to be able to use their scientific understandings to make informed decisions about the world in which they live. Using a mixed methods case study design, this study investigated the impact of behaviours and strategies used by two early career science teachers who taught argumentation about a…

Stengel, Ashley; Stanke, Kimberly M.; McPherson, Morgan R.; Drijber, Rhae A. – Natural Sciences Education, 2021
Critical evaluation and analysis are essential skills of the scientific process which can be further developed through reading primary scientific literature. However, early stage scientists, including undergraduate and graduate students, often face barriers to reading and comprehending primary literature, which can make deeper investigation and…

Rita Ortiz; Elizabeth Vicario; Kofi Acheaw Owusu; Allan Feldman; Jawaher Alsultan; Elijah Asare; Kebreab Ghebremichael; Sarina J. Ergas – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
This project engaged Ghanaian secondary pupils in authentic science and engineering activities by using model biodigesters that reduce organic waste and produce biogas and fertiliser. The pupils' activities paralleled scientists' activities, such as asking research questions and designing experiments. Our study included two cohorts of Ghanaian…

Brohinsky, Jais; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip – Science & Education, 2022
While dissent is recognized as a necessary component of scientific knowledge production, in school settings, it is a double-edged sword that can disrupt and undermine social cohesion just as it can promote thinking and creativity. This pilot study explores patterns of dissent in a science education context. It uses a mixed-methods approach to…

Hamel, Erin; Joo, Yuenjung; Hong, Soo-Young; Burton, Anna – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2021
This study explores teachers' use of questioning during collaborative science exploratory activities. We classified a total of 755 questions across 14 preschool science lessons implemented by four teachers by type (open- or closed-ended) and content (science or non-science related) while also recording the intended recipient. Results revealed…

Koumara, Anna; Plakitsi, Katerina; Lederman, Norman – Science Teacher, 2022
How do scientists make inferences for something they cannot directly observe? The Black Box approach seems ideal to help students understand how scientists work. Black Boxes are sealed units; their interior is not accessible. The effort to determine their possible content (internal structure) demands successive modifications in hypothesis,…

Amber Simpson; Jing Yang; Adam Maltese – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2024
Research has consistently highlighted the importance of promoting child-parent interactions. In this essay, we describe the development of MAKEngineering kits that provide collaborative learning experiences for children in Grades 2-6 to engage in engineering design tasks with members of their families in their home environment. First, we present…

Jacob Jan Markut; Jordi Cabana; Neal P. Mankad; Donald J. Wink – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A symmetry activity using student-built models was developed in line with faculty-developed pedagogical goals and a collaborative learning framework. The activity took place in a 3-h laboratory portion of an upper-division inorganic chemistry course. It required students to identify symmetry elements for seven molecules using common 2D…
