Arslan-Ari, Ismahan; Crooks, Steven M.; Ari, Fatih – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
This study explored the effects of prior knowledge and cueing on the learning (retention, transfer, and matching) and mental effort of learners who studied an instructional animation with accompanying narration about photosynthesis. A 4 × 2 between-subjects factorial design with four levels of cueing (no cueing, label cueing, picture cueing, and…

Farrokhnia, Mohammadreza; Meulenbroeks, Ralph F. G.; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
In recent years, student-generated stop-motion animations (SMAs) have been employed to support sharing, constructing, and representing knowledge in different science domains and across age groups from pre-school to university students. The purpose of this review is to give an overview of research in this field and to synthesize the findings. For…

Gnidovec, Tanja; Žemlja, Mojca; Dolenec, Andreja; Torkar, Gregor – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Learning the basics of human anatomy is challenging for schoolchildren due to its three-dimensional nature and complexity as a system. This study created educational materials for learning about and teaching the human circulatory system based on augmented reality (AR) technology and a structure-behavior-function (SBF) model, including 2D/3D…

Akpinar, Ercan – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2014
This study investigates the effects of using interactive computer animations based on predict-observe-explain (POE) as a presentation tool on primary school students' understanding of the static electricity concepts. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test control group design was utilized in this study. The experiment group consisted of 30…

Calik, Muammer; Okur, Murat; Taylor, Neil – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2011
The purpose of this study was to compare different conceptual change methods within a topic on "sound propagation". The study was conducted with 80 grade 5 students (aged 11-12 year old) drawn from four cohort classes in an elementary school on the north coast of Black Sea Region in Turkey. While one class was assigned as a control…

Calik, Muammer; Kolomuc, Ali; Karagolge, Zafer – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2010
This paper reports on an investigation of the effect of conceptual change pedagogy on students' conceptions of "rate of reaction" concepts. The study used a pre-test/post-test non-equivalent comparison group design approach and the sample consisted of 72 Turkish grade-11 students (aged 16-18 years) selected from two intact classrooms.…

Trevisan, Michael S.; Oki, Angela C.; Senger, P. L. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2010
Two experiments examined the effects of a multimedia technology referred to as "Time Compressed Animated Delivery" (TCAD), on student learning in a junior-level reproductive physiology course. In experiment 1, participating students received one of two presentations of the same instructional material: TCAD and a lecture captured on video. At the…
