Field trips provide real-world learning opportunities in biology education as they promote knowledge about nature among other things. As biodiversity is declining knowledge of species is important for understanding and appreciating the natural world and its implications. Many field guides are digitally available, but differences from traditional…

This study aims to investigate the situation of science teachers regarding out-of-school learning activities and to investigate how their participation in out-of-school learning activities as an observer within the scope of science courses creates a change in the situation of teachers. A case study was used in this study. Twenty-one science…

Souza, Vanessa M.; Bonifácio, V.; Rodrigues, A. V. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
School visits to science museums are recognized educational resources that provide students with unique learning experiences, if teachers intentionally plan these. Surprisingly one finds that investigations analyzing teachers adopted practices by systematic monitoring, without researcher intervention, are almost non-existent in the literature. We…

Andersen, Martin Stolpe; Klingenberg, Sara; Petersen, Gustav Bøg; Creed, Peter A.; Makransky, Guido – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Research suggests that head-mounted displays (HMD) can spark situational interest when they are used to provide science learning experiences that are not possible in traditional classroom settings. However, few studies have investigated the lasting effects of using HMDs in an authentic instructional intervention. Objectives: We…

Bertram Schmidkonz – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Simple, often artificial problems are normally preferred for introductory lab courses and are restricted to indoor participation. Microtitrations make it possible to leave the lab and study water chemistry directly in the natural environment. An exemplary outdoor challenge is presented here: travertine formation is context-rich, has to be examined…

The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Kanli, Uygar; Yavas, Sezin – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
This study aims to examine the effect of the instructional plan which includes workshops pedagogically modelling the exhibitions at science centres for an effective field trip, on high school students' learning the concepts on 'Simple Machines: Pulley and Levers'. In this study, a semi-experimental design with the pre- and post-test control group…

Godec, Spela – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2020
Research has highlighted that engagement with science is highly gendered and that the masculinised culture of science makes it difficult for many girls/women to engage. Meanwhile, a growing body of research has explored the potential of out-of-school spaces to provide more equitable engagement opportunities. In this paper, I examine engagement…

Guerrero, Gonzalo R.; Reiss, Michael J. – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
This article examines an outdoor science activity based on Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning of Science (ITLS) undertaken with a collaborative research methodology as a Research-Practice Partnership (RPP). The activity was implemented in a national reserve in Chile as part of continuing professional development and co-designed by in-service…

Coronado, Carmen; Freijomil-Vázquez, Carla; Fernández-Basanta, Sara; Andina-Díaz, Elena; Movilla-Fernández, María-Jesús – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2020
Purpose: Higher education institutions have a significant impact in preparing future generations for the creation of a sustainable society. By formulating appropriate curricula, the university can shape student personality with sustainability concerns. This study aims to present the results of a teaching approach on environmental sustainability…

Pande, Prajakt; Thit, Amalie; Sørensen, Anja Elaine; Mojsoska, Biljana; Moeller, Morten E.; Jepsen, Per Meyer – Research in Learning Technology, 2021
Our main goal was to investigate if and how using multiple immersive virtual reality (iVR) simulations and their video playback, in a science course, affects student learning over time. We conducted a longitudinal study, in ecological settings, at an undergraduate field-course on three topics in environmental biology. Twenty-eight undergraduates…

Seijas, Nahia; Uskola, Araitz – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Citizens show misunderstandigs about groundwater that hinder making informed decisions about problems like the deterioration of aquifers. Science education should address this, including modelling practices about the aquifer model. Physical models (PM) have been extensively used in geology teaching, but students rarely construct, evaluate or…

Nesimyan -- Agadi, Dina; Ben Zvi Assaraf, Orit – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The theory of evolution can be a useful basis for developing students' understanding of ecology. Our study used concept maps to examine the development of sixth-grade students' understanding of the Antarctic ecosystem following several evolution 'Science Days' conducted at 'Nature Campus' -- an informal learning environment comprised of a natural…

Imuta, Kana; Scarf, Damian; Carson, Sally; Hayne, Harlene – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Children often learn information in a context that is vastly different to the one in which they are asked to recall or use that information. Despite this, little is known about the effect of context change on children's recall of educational information. Here, 197 5- and 6-year-olds were taught the same interactive lesson in their classroom or on…

Jolley, Alison; Hampton, Samuel J.; Brogt, Erik; Kennedy, Ben M.; Fraser, Lyndon; Knox, Angus – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2019
This study compares the field experience and development of sense of place (in this case, human attributed meanings and attachments to the field area) in geoscience students on three separate course sections of a six-day introductory geological mapping field trip. Students stayed in a small farm station within their 4 km[superscript 2] field area,…
