Kevin L. Sager; Miho Aoki; Scott D. Goddard – Innovative Higher Education, 2024
We tested the educational effectiveness of an inquiry-guided approach (Lee et al., 2004; Prince & Felder in "Journal of Engineering Education, 95," 123-138, 2006) to teaching a possible outcome of statistical hypothesis testing known as type 1 error. The approach consisted of showing participants an animated space exploration video.…

Seixas Mello, Paula; Cotta Natale, Caio; Marzin-Janvier, Patricia; Vieira, Leda Quercia; Manzoni-de-Almeida, Daniel – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study is a follow-up to the analysis of an inquiry-based learning activity applied to students in a public university in Brazil. We advocate that an effective education in immunology must incorporate elements that are essential to research in the area, such as generating and analysing data. These elements would empower students to apply…

Ronilo Palle Antonio; Maricar Sison Prudente – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
Demonstrating higher-order thinking skills is crucial for thriving in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment. In science education, inquiry-based learning has increasingly been recognized as a potent approach to stimulate students' higher-order thinking skills. While prior research has shown evidence of its positive…

Penny M. Rowe; James Bernhard; Jacob Price; Anoushka Adhav; Danielle Dolan; Anna Van Boven; Lea Fortmann; Michael Town; Steven Neshyba – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
Climate change is a major concern to undergraduate students. Understanding climate change relies on an understanding of polar regions. However, courses on polar regions are rare at undergraduate institutions. Polar ENgagement through GUided INquiry (PENGUIN) modules were designed to give students experience with polar research in a variety of…

Owolade, Adeyinka Olayemi; Salami, Marie Onovroghene; Kareem, Adeyinka Oluwaseun; Oladipupo, Popoola Oluwasegun – Anatolian Journal of Education, 2022
In recent years, students' performance in Biology in the Senior Secondary Certificates Examination (SSCE) has not been encouraging. Studies have attributed fluctuating achievement of students in Biology to ineffective use of instructional strategies. If sustainable solution is not proffered to the issue of poor performance in Biology, it could…

Rogers, Ben – Primary Science, 2021
There is a tradition in primary classes of using rich authentic activities to teach science. The idea of pupils learning science through experiment and discovery is appealing. But this is not how children are taught in other subjects. When children learn to read, there are tiny steps, mastering each one before moving onto more challenging books.…
