Santhosh, Malavika; Farooqi, Hafsa; Ammar, Mohammad; Siby, Nitha; Bhadra, Jolly; Al-Thani, Noora J.; Sellami, Abdellatif; Fatima, Noshin; Ahmad, Zubair – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
In recent decades, informal project-based learning (PjBL) for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has gained immense significance. Though some meta-analytical studies have reported the effectiveness of PjBL models, none of them has been explicit for informal PjBL models executed for school students in STEM education.…

Wang, Cixiao; Dong, Qian; Ma, Yuying – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
With the advancement of informational and portable technologies, virtual manipulatives based on tablets are applied to support students' learning in science education. However, research on the impact of tablet-student ratios on individual knowledge acquisition and cognitive load in collaborative inquiry learning has not been addressed in detail…

Nikolaos Papalazarou; Ioannis Lefkos; Nikolaos Fachantidis – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Involving students in laboratory and inquiry-based activities can help them understand the concepts of physics. However the learning process should not only focus on the concepts. Moreover, the advantages of using virtual or physical labs are still under examination. The purpose of this study is to analyse which of the two modes (virtual or…

Li, Mingyang; Donnelly-Hermosillo, Dermot Francis; Click, Jennifer – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
Numerous studies illustrate the value of simulations or project-based learning approaches to enhance the learning of science. Simulations can help students connect across macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic representations of scientific phenomena, while project-based learning can provide a meaningful narrative and activities for students to…

Dai, Zhicheng; Sun, Chengzhang; Zhao, Liang; Zhu, Xiaoliang – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Classroom interaction affects the classroom atmosphere as well as students' behavior and participation, thus affecting the quality of classroom teaching. In traditional classrooms, inherent problems (e.g., inflexible tables and chairs, rigid multimedia consoles, and traditional software) have seriously restricted the overall quality of classroom…

Schwartz, Liron; Adler, Idit; Madjar, Nir; Zion, Michal – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Engaging students in inquiry is a key component in order to fulfill essential goals in science education. To achieve successful engagement in inquiry process, students need to feel competent and autonomous in spite of the cognitive and mental challenges the process entails. The study focuses on the "problematizing" mechanisms of…

Ryoo, Kihyun; Bedell, Kristin; Swearingen, Amanda – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2018
Ensuring that all students, including English language learners (ELLs) who speak English as a second language, succeed in science is more challenging with a shift towards learning through language-intensive science practices suggested by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Interactive visualization technologies have the potential to…

Schleisman, Katrina B.; Selcen Guzey, S.; Lie, Richard; Michlin, Michael; Desjardins, Christopher; Shackleton, Hazel S.; Schwerdfeger, August C.; Michalowski, Martin; Dubinsky, Janet M. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2018
Mobile applications (apps) for learning technical scientific content are becoming increasingly popular in educational settings. Neuroscience is often considered complex and challenging for most students to understand conceptually. "iNeuron" is a recently developed iOS app that teaches basic neuroscience in the context of a series of…

Schroeder, Noah L.; Traxler, Adrienne L. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2017
Many instructors in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields are striving to create active learning environments in their classrooms and in doing so are frequently moving the lecture portion of their course into online video format. In this classroom-based study, we used a two group randomized experimental design to examine the…

Mulder, Yvonne G.; Lazonder, Ard W.; de Jong, Ton; Anjewierden, Anjo; Bollen, Lars – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2012
Model progression denotes the organization of the inquiry learning process in successive phases of increasing complexity. This study investigated the effectiveness of model progression in general, and explored the added value of either broadening or narrowing students' possibilities to change model progression phases. Results showed that…

Sit, Stefany M.; Brudzinski, Michael R. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2017
The recent emphasis in higher education on both student engagement and online learning encouraged the authors to develop an active e-learning environment for an introductory geohazards course, which enrolls 70+ undergraduate students per semester. Instructors focused on replicating the achievements and addressing the challenges within an already…

Rye, James; Landenberger, Rick; Warner, Timothy A. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
The concept map tool set forth by Novak and colleagues is underutilized in education. A meta-analysis has encouraged teachers to make extensive use of concept mapping, and researchers have advocated computer-based concept mapping applications that exploit hyperlink technology. Through an NSF sponsored geosciences education grant, middle and…

Jalil, Pasl A.; Abu Sbeih, M. Z.; Boujettif, M.; Barakat, R. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2009
This work describes a 2-year study in teaching school science, based on the stimulation of higher thinking levels in learning science using a highly student-centred and constructivist learning approach. We sought to shift and strengthen students' positive attitudes towards science learning, self-efficacy towards invention, and achievement.…
