Alstein, Paul; Krijtenburg-Lewerissa, Kim; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
This article describes the design and evaluation of a simulation environment for special relativity (SR) education at the secondary level. In recent years, SR has become increasingly popular in secondary school curricula worldwide. Because the key concepts in SR are very remote from everyday experience, they are difficult for students to learn.…

Jon-Chao Hong; Ming-Chou Liu; Huei-Ying Ho; Chi-Ruei Tsai; Kai-Hsin Tai – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
By using information technology, science learning can be widely disseminated, including, for example, to rural schools. However, the implementation of inquiry-based science learning with action-to-ground science concepts for rural learners needs to be explored. To address this purpose, the present study adopted "live stream" technology…

Kong-Ching Wong; K. Brant Knutzen; Ignatius Ip; Steve Po-Yam Li – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Surface chemistry is a challenging realm for most students because of its abstract nature and numerous associated mathematical equations. Herein we report a set of dedicated sequential inquiry-based learning (IBL) activities enriched with virtual laboratory learning and hands-on instructions. The activities were intended to help students grasp…

Chou, Ren-Jye; Liang, Chih-Ping; Huang, Li-yu; She, Hsiao-Ching – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
This study compared the effectiveness of online skeuomorphic physics inquiry-based learning with and without simulation on 8th-grade students' performance of scientific inquiry involving the spring unit. Two classes (58 students) were assigned to the online skeuomorphic physics inquiry-based learning with simulation, and two classes (59 students)…

Kousloglou, Manolis; Molohidis, Anastasios; Nikolopoulou, Kleopatra; Hatzikraniotis, Euripides – Teaching Science, 2022
The natural sciences, by their very nature, are based on the exploration of the physical world, and digital mobile devices are considered appropriate to support this exploration (Suárez et al., 2018) since they offer the tools that make this investigation more accessible but also ubiquitous (Crompton et al., 2017). Inquiry-based learning is a…

Dimitri Belli; Guglielmo Lischi; Giovanni Pardini; Paolo Milazzo; Valentina Domenici – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
This technology report presents the main features of a free digital educational tool which aims to introduce middle school level students to the comprehension of the particulate nature of matter in the three states (i.e., solid, liquid, and gas) and during phase transitions. This digital tool is available and is freely accessible online. Its…

Jones, Lindsey; Chilton, Helen; Theakston, Anna – Deafness & Education International, 2023
The study sought to determine the effects of a pilot home-based science intervention on deaf and typically hearing children's conceptual understanding of science and their abilities to reason about and communicate their understanding (scientific enquiry skills). Data show that by age 5 years a science attainment gap exists between deaf children…

Johnson, Shanina Sanders; Winfield, Leyte; Sung, Shannon H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The dehydration of 2- or 4-methylcyclohexanol to obtain isomers of methylcyclohexene is a classic organic chemistry experiment. Students perform a distillation, collecting samples to analyze the progress of the reaction. The reaction produces a major product that can be explained on the basis of the regiochemistry of the [pi] bond formation for…

Joseph Michael Reilly – ProQuest LLC, 2020
Guided authentic scientific inquiry activities can give students a clear picture of the nature of science and how its fields operate in practice, but such activities are difficult to do well. Too much structure negates the benefit of open-ended activities and student-led investigation, while too little can result in frustration or unproductive…

Massa Mafi – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This practitioner action research study explored features of NGSS-based pedagogies to improve secondary education student engagement, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving. It examined ways that constructivist pedagogies might encourage students to understand science by putting their skills and knowledge into practice as young…

Georgiou, Yiannis; Tsivitanidou, Olia; Ioannou, Andri – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) simulations are argued to support students' learning of complex scientific phenomena via the use of realistic graphics and interactions that students can hardly experience in everyday life. However, the integration of immersive VR simulations in science classrooms introduces new challenges, whilst there is a lack of…

Luke A. Wilczek; Mari´a del Carmen Guerrero Marti´nez; Keerthi B. Sreenivasan; Jesse B. Morin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Large introductory STEM courses have a reputation as "weed out" classes. These classes and their laboratory components are more often viewed by students as hurdles to overcome than valuable learning experiences relevant to their future careers. This perception especially impacts students who have a lower science identity and…

Jennifer Barnett Davis – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This dissertation describes a practitioner's design-based development of a prototype chatbot to guide students in learning biological concepts of genetic mutations and protein synthesis. This chatbot's architecture provides learning activities, feedback, and support throughout a series of short, connected lessons. The chatbot is designed to…

Cheng, Mengmeng; Su, Chien-Yuan; Kinshuk – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Integrating science learning with game experience and physical manipulatives not only overcomes the rigidity of traditional teaching, but also makes the learning experience pleasant for students and improves their science inquiry ability. Today, with the popularization of mobile devices and technology, both the value and feasibility of gamified…

Minshall, Brianna L.; Yezierski, Ellen J. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
For six semesters, activities have been incorporated into first year general chemistry courses in an effort to build student conceptual chemistry knowledge. The activities follow a learning cycle pedagogy (similar to Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning or POGIL activities) and consist of guiding questions involving animations, models,…
