To gain a holistic understanding of how science teachers dealt with STEM education, this study explored two science teachers' perceptions and practices at primary schools via the lens of curriculum ideology. By examining their perceptions and practices from six essential aspects (i.e., aim, content, student, teaching, learning, and assessment), we…

To evaluate the recent advances in learning progression (LP) research and identify future research directions, we reviewed LP literature from 2006 to 2018. Through a systematic search of Web of Science databases and key journals, we located 130 LP articles published between 2006 and 2018. Among these articles, we reviewed 86 studies. The review…

Describes planning and implementation phases of the development of individualized and small group learning laboratory facilities for primary and intermediate grades in a new elementary school. Includes descriptions of teacher and student summer activities during design, selection and evaluation of general science instructional media and materials.…

Students enrolled in an audio-tutorial section of an introductory college physics course responded more favorably than did students in the lecture section on a student questionnaire concerned with attitudes toward the course and laboratory. (MLH)

Grade six students were taught Newton's Second Law of Motion by a linear program, a lecture, or a video-taped lecture, with three different response modes: written responses to all questions, to one-third of the questions, or to no questions. There was no significant difference between teaching method, but the higher the overt response rate, the…

Studied the superiority of audio-tutorial instruction among 79 students by using the pretest-posttest control group design, and concluded the absence of significant difference in achievement analyses both between the control and experimental groups and varying-aptitude subgroups. (CC)

Compared with students receiving tutorial assistance from teaching assistants and with those with no tutorial assistance, students using CAI programs achieved higher test scores, particularly in the areas of nomenclature, organic reactions, and organic syntheses. (AL)

Although students who used the Physical Science Study Committee experiments improved in their understanding of the conservation of momentum, greater gains were made by those who used a computer simulation of one dimensional elastic collisions in a vacuum. (AL)

Describes a flow-charted model for planning basic remedial and enrichment activities for students in an "individualized" program. Illustrates model with unit on homeostasis for grades 10-12. (AL)
