Li, Mingyang; Donnelly-Hermosillo, Dermot Francis; Click, Jennifer – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
Numerous studies illustrate the value of simulations or project-based learning approaches to enhance the learning of science. Simulations can help students connect across macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic representations of scientific phenomena, while project-based learning can provide a meaningful narrative and activities for students to…

Çoban, Atakan – Physics Education, 2021
During the periods of sudden transition to online education, the opportunity to make applications that might attract students' attention to the course has decreased even more. Although this deficiency tried to be eliminated with videos and simulations, it was not possible to ensure the active participation of students in some cases. In this study,…

Worrall, Andrew F.; Bergstrom Mann, Patrick E.; Young, Damion; Wormald, Mark R.; Cahill, Samuel T.; Stewart, Malcolm I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Teaching practical chemistry skills remotely is not a task that would have been high on the agenda only a few months ago. However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, students around the world are having to work from home, and the chemistry education community has been forced to adapt to the new circumstances. In response, we discuss the use of…

Li, Zhao; Corti, David S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
The application of the Reaction Monte Carlo (RxMC) algorithm to standard textbook problems in chemical reaction equilibria is discussed. The RxMC method is a molecular simulation algorithm for studying the equilibrium properties of reactive systems, and therefore provides the opportunity to develop computer-based "experiments" for the…

Yusuf, Irfan; Widyaningsih, Sri Wahyu; Sebayang, Sri Rosepda Br. – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2018
E-learning media is one effective solution as a learning tool that could be implemented anytime and anywhere. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach through the use of e-learning is expected to develop students Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This study aimed to measure students HOTS abilities through the use of…

Charles A. Wood; Debbie Tyrrell; Manetta Calinger; Jackie Shia; Lori Kudlak; Laura Ondeck – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2018
Pandem-Sim is a live, distance-learning simulation where 10th-12th grade students perform as epidemiologists to investigate infectious disease outbreaks. Prior to a mission, teachers review content and introduce students to the sim interfaces. During the mission students analyze data concerning demographics, symptoms and patient histories for a…

Richmond, Gail; Parker, Joyce M.; Kaldaras, Leonora – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2016
The Next-Generation Science Standards (NGSS) call for a different approach to learning science. They promote three-dimensional (3D) learning that blends disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts and scientific practices. In this study, we examined explanations constructed by secondary science teacher candidates (TCs) as a scientific practice…

Allen, Lauren K.; Eagleson, Roy; de Ribaupierre, Sandrine – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2016
Neuroanatomy is one of the most challenging subjects in anatomy, and novice students often experience difficulty grasping the complex three-dimensional (3D) spatial relationships. This study evaluated a 3D neuroanatomy e-learning module, as well as the relationship between spatial abilities and students' knowledge in neuroanatomy. The study's…

Chang, Hsin-Yi; Wu, Hsin-Kai; Hsu, Ying-Shao – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2013
Augmented reality (AR) technologies are identified as one of key emerging technologies for education in the next 5 years. AR takes advantage of virtual objects or information overlaying physical objects or environments, resulting in a mixed reality in which virtual objects and real environments coexist in a meaningful way to augment learning…

Laxman, Kumar; Chin, Yap Kueh – Journal on School Educational Technology, 2011
Numerous flash or java applet based simulations have been developed to improve students' comprehension of Science concepts, particularly the more complex or "dry" ones. Simulations have been reported to be effective as instructional aids in scaffolding scientific learning by students since simulations support the explication of implicit…

Urban-Woldron, Hildegard – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2009
Appropriate educational technologies have the potential to make physics' concepts more accessible through visualization, modeling and multiple representations. Students are engaged in more powerful scientific activities and they are able to perform investigations that would not be possible without the use of technology. This paper presents…
