Šlekiene, Violeta – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2019
The research analyzes the usage of STEAM program "Cognition of Energy and Thermal Processes" for students of ninth (1st Gymnasium) classes in order to deepen and broaden the knowledge of natural science education, develop practical abilities of students and their scientific researcher's competence. Students were advised to do five…

Effectiveness of the Teacher as Partner Approach in Developing Scientific Practices and Self-Efficacy: Quasi-Experimental Evidence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Sabag, Tali; Tabak, Iris – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
The Teacher as Partner is an approach to inquiry-based science teaching, where the teacher works as the students' partner. Prior research suggests that it offers an opportunity to model inquiry actions and voice their often tacit rationale. It also enables learners to witness the difficulties and fallibility that even experts can experience, which…

Crujeiras-Pérez, B.; Jiménez-Aleixandre, M. P. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2017
This paper examines the process of high school students' planning investigations in the chemistry laboratory across two consecutive academic years in terms of their actions and their progress. The context is a set of five inquiry-based laboratory tasks in which participants (9th and 10th graders, 14-15 and 15-16 years of age) are required to plan…

Using the Bifocal Modeling Framework to Resolve "Discrepant Events" between Physical Experiments and Virtual Models in Biology
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Blikstein, Paulo; Fuhrmann, Tamar; Salehi, Shima – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2016
In this paper, we investigate an approach to supporting students' learning in science through a combination of physical experimentation and virtual modeling. We present a study that utilizes a scientific inquiry framework, which we call "bifocal modeling," to link student-designed experiments and computer models in real time. In this…

Johnson, Samuel A.; Tutt, Tye – Science Teacher, 2008
Recently, a high school Science Club generated a large number of questions involving temperature. Therefore, they decided to construct a thermal gradient apparatus in order to conduct a wide range of experiments beyond the standard "cookbook" labs. They felt that this apparatus could be especially useful in future ninth-grade biology classes, in…

Student Interest Generated During an Inquiry Skills Lesson
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Palmer, David H. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
"Situational interest" is a short-term form of motivation which occurs when a specific situation stimulates the focused attention of students (e.g., a spectacular science demonstration could arouse transient interest amongst nearly all the students in a class, even those who are not normally interested in science). However, there have…
