This paper uses the questionnaire to evaluate the current status of laboratory safety perceptions, willingness, and efforts of first-year undergraduates at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Tianjin University of Technology. The survey includes a sample size of 360 undergraduates covering four chemistry-related majors. The…

This study aims to evaluate the laboratory safety perception, awareness and attitude of undergraduates toward the chemistry teaching laboratory by means of a self-administered questionnaire. The survey contains a sample size of 959 undergraduates in Tianjin University of Technology involving four schools. Instrument reliability and validity are…

When laboratory accidents in schools, especially in recent years, are examined, it is remarkable that many of these events resulted from the incorrect implementation of laboratory safety. The most significant role in the administration of laboratory safety belongs to science teachers. During this process, the necessity of laboratory safety…

This study adopted a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. The sample size was 162 students from eight universities. The sample was categorized into two groups: Group I (n=79) and Group II (n=83). Electric VLab, provided the environment. A researcher-made achievement test, comprising multiple-choice, essay and practical questions was used…

The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes towards laboratory skills and chemistry laboratory anxieties of pre-service science teachers who were currently registered to general chemistry laboratory course and who had taken this course previously. To evaluate candidates' attitudes and anxieties in line with this purpose, they were…

Laboratories are an indispensable part of the fundamental sciences. Laboratories are important learning environments that enable students to relate events to daily life as well as being places where theoretical knowledge is implemented. The present study investigated the knowledge and usage level of preservice biology teachers regarding lab…

This study investigated how human dissection affects students' spiritual beliefs, and how their existing spiritual beliefs influence their perceptions of human dissection. This cross-sectional study assessed 760 medical students with human dissection experience using an online questionnaire developed from interviews and the Spirituality…

The increase in student diversity, legislative changes and shift towards the social model of disability has led to greater emphasis on inclusive curricula within Higher Education (HE). Whilst there are good examples for changes in assessment, delivery and student support, specific challenges faced by Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics…

Human anatomy, a fundamental aspect of medical education, substantially depends on body donations in many regions. Despite the recent increasing acceptance of body donations, China continues to encounter a substantial shortage. Therefore, we conducted a series of studies to examine the characteristics of body donors, the factors correlating with…

The formation of chemistry identities among students is closely linked to the norms and practices prevalent in their chemistry learning environments. However, these norms may not be equally accessible or aligned with formal assessment criteria, leading to disparities for students in cultivating a positive chemistry identity. This study…

In this quantitative study, we explored learners' intrinsic motivation towards three different experimental physics educational activities offered by our department to upper-grade high school students. The inspected activities were lecture demonstrations, a science show, and hands-on practical work. The respondents were Czech high school students…

Historically, traditional laboratory experiments have been given a central and distinctive role in science education. However, virtual laboratories have received considerable attention over the past several years in different areas of knowledge. The main aim of this study is to analyse the impact of the use of both traditional and virtual…

It is becoming necessary to examine learners' use of and experiences with virtual laboratories. Learners' interest and motivation to use virtual laboratories are important factors for the success of these platforms. This study was conducted to analyze Kyrgyz learners' use of virtual laboratories in a physics course at the university level. The…

In this study, we focused on students' intrinsic motivation towards practical work, more specifically the strength of predictors for intrinsic motivation. As a research tool, we used a modified Intrinsic Motivation Inventory supplemented by additional questions on attitudes towards physics. The respondents were more than 2000 Czech upper secondary…

Due to the necessity to continue learning even during the pandemic, schools opened utilizing distance learning modalities. However, there is a dearth of evidence on the effectivity of this modalities in physics. In this study, we investigated the effects of three physics distance learning modes; the module-only (MO), virtual lab plus module (VLM),…
