Huinan Liu; Bo Chen; Sihui Huang; Songting Yao; Wenqi Zhao; Ziyin Li – Science & Education, 2025
The diversity of scientific methods has received widespread attention and recognition in recent years. Brandon's Matrix illustrated four categories of scientific methods, which was applied to establish the analytical framework of this study. This paper adopted content analysis to investigate how the diversity of scientific methods is represented…

Saribas, Deniz; Akdemir, Zeynep Gonca – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Our past experiences in science teacher education inferred that using scientific practices in science teaching courses and supporting pre-service teachers' efforts to integrate these into their teaching allow them to gain confidence in analysing and interpreting empirical data. However, those efforts sometimes do not provide sufficient help for…

Tu, Pham Thi Hong; Hang, Nguyen Thi; Van, Luong Thi Thuy; Dung, Ha Van; Nga, Nguyen Thi Hang; Phan, Cao Xuan – World Journal of Education, 2022
Natural science itself is an experimental science, so practice and experimentation are important and are typical teaching methods of this subject. To make practice and experiment play the highest strengths in teaching and developing the ability to learn about nature - one of the three specific competencies of natural science, the association of…

Cullinane, Alison; Hillier, Judith; Childs, Ann; Erduran, Sibel – Research in Science Education, 2023
This article utilizes a framework for classifying different scientific methods suggested by a philosopher of science (Brandon "Synthese," 99, 59-73, 1994) called Brandon's Matrix. It presents findings from teachers who took part in a funded project in England that looked at the nature of scientific methods in science investigations.…

Takriti, Rachel; Tairab, Hassan; Alhosani, Najwa; Elhoweris, Hala; Schofield, Lindsay; Rabbani, Lutfieh; AlAmirah, Iman – Science & Education, 2023
Nature of science (NOS) is a global conception of the infrastructure of science and, therefore, forms the foundation for teaching and learning science, especially for preservice teachers who are expected to have the proper understanding of NOS to thoughtfully emphasize NOS within their instruction to students. However, studies investigating UAE…

Algarni, Norah A.; Alahmad , Nidhal Sh. – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
Understanding nature of science (NOS) is a fundamental goal in science education standards. Due to the role of specialised and educational teachers' preparation programmes in developing their NOS concepts, this study aims to identify views on NOS and attitudes toward teaching NOS among Saudi undergraduate chemistry students and the differences…

Jorge, Nina de Castro; Pimenta, Thaiane Salgado; Oliveira, Luan Tadeu de Castro; Isaias, Rosy Mary dos Santos – American Biology Teacher, 2023
The worldwide scientific community has been promoting science communication from colleges and universities to schools, and different tools for communicating scientific discoveries have been created. Among this variety of tools, our choice fell on a storybook. The book, entitled "The Curious Case of Ants That Live in Galls," is directed…

Kadish, Theresa – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This dissertation asks how to improve science education and science communication, and suggests that digital storytelling techniques can be used to better engage learners in the process of knowledge making. Digital storytelling refers to both the use of high-quality digital media content as learning materials, and also to the use of social…

Werner, Sonja; Förtsch, Christian; Boone, William; von Kotzebue, Lena; Neuhaus, Birgit J. – Research in Science Education, 2019
To obtain a general understanding of science, model use as part of National Education Standards is important for instruction. Model use can be characterized by three aspects: (1) the characteristics of the model, (2) the integration of the model into instruction, and (3) the use of models to foster scientific reasoning. However, there were no…

Ioannidou, Olga; Finch, Katy; Erduran, Sibel – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2022
A significant issue in the teaching, learning and summative assessment of practical science is that the underpinning model of scientific methods is based on a fairly simplistic and linear account that does not represent how scientists actually do practical work. In this paper, we examine how science teachers in England and Wales view scientific…

Cha, Jeongho; Kan, Su-Yin; Chia, Poh Wai; Chia, Poh San – Asian Journal of University Education, 2022
One of the challenges that science teachers face is the lack of strategy/method to train students in data collection and developing analytical skills, which are pre-requisites to resolve socio-scientific problems and an important element in scientific literacy. In this activity, the SWOT analysis proposed by the Stanford Research Institute in the…

Guerra, Genaina Fernandes; Noll, Matias – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
This study evaluated how the process of teaching scientific methodology occurs in technical courses in integrated high schools. The qualitative case study was conducted through documentary analysis (based on regulations and pedagogical projects) and semi-structured interviews with teachers (n=7), coordinators (n=3), and students (n=16) of the…

Erduran, Sibel; Ioannidou, Olga; Baird, Jo-Anne – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
The incorporation of epistemic aspects of science in science education continues to be a challenge for researchers and practitioners. The paper presents an empirical study investigating how epistemic framing of scientific methods can be incorporated in science teaching, learning and summative assessment, and what impact such framing has on student…

Walsh, Kevin – School Science Review, 2018
Computer simulations have been used very effectively for many years in the teaching of science but the focus has been on cognitive development. This study, however, is an investigation into the possibility that a student's experimental skills in the real-world environment can be judged via the undertaking of a suitably chosen computer simulation…

Kenrick, Carole – School Science Review, 2017
This article recounts the author's working experience of one method by which pupils' understanding of the epistemologies of science can be developed, specifically how scientists can develop hypothetical models and test them through simulations. She currently uses this approach for transition lessons with pupils in upper primary or lower secondary…
