Borrero, A. Mejias; Marquez, J. M. Andujar – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2012
Lab practices are an essential part of teaching in Engineering. However, traditional laboratory lessons developed in classroom labs (CL) must be adapted to teaching and learning strategies that go far beyond the common concept of e-learning, in the sense that completely virtualized distance education disconnects teachers and students from the real…

The Effect of Instructional Modality and Prior Knowledge on Learning Point Group Symmetry
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nottis, Katharyn E. K.; Kastner, Margaret E. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2005
Many topics in chemistry are difficult for learners to understand, including symmetry. Reasons for this difficulty include its multi-level content, instructional methodologies utilized, and learner variables. This study examined the effect of initial instructional modality and prior knowledge on learning of point group symmetry. Forty-four…

Constrained Subjective Assessment of Student Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Saliu, Sokol – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2005
Student learning is a complex incremental cognitive process; assessment needs to parallel this, reporting the results in similar terms. Application of fuzzy sets and logic to the criterion-referenced assessment of student learning is considered here. The constrained qualitative assessment (CQA) system was designed, and then applied in assessing a…

Virtual Solar System Project: Learning through a Technology-Rich, Inquiry-Based, Participatory Learning Environment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barab, Sasha A.; Hay, Kenneth E.; Squire, Kurt; Barnett, Michael; Schmidt, Rae; Karrigan, Kristen; Yamagata-Lynch, Lisa; Johnson, Christine – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2000
Describes an introductory undergraduate astronomy course in which the large-lecture format was moved to one in which students were immersed in a technologically-rich, inquiry-based, participatory learning environment. Finds that virtual reality can be used effectively in regular undergraduate university courses as a tool through which students can…
