Ted M. Clark; Matthew Fhaner; Matthew Stoltzfus; Matt Scott Queen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Four General Chemistry instructors investigated the use of ChatGPT-4 to improve their lessons plans for the historical experiments of Thomson, Millikan, and Rutherford. The instructors varied in their prior knowledge for these experiments and their initial lessons addressed somewhat different learning objectives. This led to different…

Pascal Kaneza; Jean Baptiste Nkurunziza; Innocent Twagilimana – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
The main objective of this intervention study was to investigate the effect of three teaching approaches, namely the traditional teaching method (TTM), a teacher-based demonstration experiment (TBDE) and a student hands-on experiment (SHE), on students' academic performance. A total number of 324 senior five students studying chemistry as one of…

Martin Schwichow; Anastasios Zoupidis – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Floating and sinking (FS) is a key topic in science education, both at primary and secondary levels. The interpretation of FS phenomena, however, is challenging due to the difficulty of the scientific concepts and explanatory models involved (e.g., density, buoyancy), along with students' everyday experiences, which conflict with scientific…

Postiglione, A.; De Angelis, I. – Physics Education, 2021
General relativity (GR) represents the most recent theory of gravity, on which all modern astrophysics is based, including some of the most astonishing results of physics research. Nevertheless, its study is limited to university courses, while being ignored at high-school level. To introduce GR in high school, one of the approaches that can be…

Matheus Almeida Bauer Zytkuewisz; Denis Ricardo Martins de Godoi; Amadeu Moura Bego – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This study's general theme revolves around practical work in chemical education, and its scope is the employment of a novel inquiry strategy combined with a new openness level. We investigate how the controlled positive error, a new device for inquiry activities developed by us, affects undergraduate students' experience of an experiment and…

Wan, Tong; Geraets, Ashley A.; Doty, Constance M.; Saitta, Erin K. H.; Chini, Jacquelyn J. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) often lead laboratory and tutorial sections in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), especially at large, research-intensive universities. GTAs' performance as instructors can impact student learning experience as well as learning outcomes. In this study, we observed 11 chemistry GTAs and 11…

Reuter, Timo; Weber, Anke Maria; Flottmann, Julia; Leuchter, Miriam – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
Planning and conducting experiments require the application of the control of variables strategy (CVS). Research indicates that older children can learn the CVS by engaging in guided-inquiry activities. It has not been studied yet whether this is also the case for children as young as 6- to 7-years. 145 children aged 6-7 years participated in a…

Szalay, Luca; Tóth, Zoltán; Borbás, Réka; Füzesi, István – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
The results of an earlier four-year longitudinal research study on the development of experimental design skills led to the conclusion that 12-13 year old students probably need more help to design experiments than had been offered to them in that project. This paper reports the findings of the first year of a further four-year empirical research…

Steger, Fabian; Nitsche, Alexander; Arbesmeier, Alexander; Brade, Katja D.; Schweiger, Hans-Georg; Belski, Iouri – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2020
Contribution: Prior studies comparing the effectiveness of different laboratory learning modes do not allow one to draw a universally valid conclusion, as other influences are mixed with the learning modes. In order to contribute to the existing body of work and to add another piece to the puzzle, this article demonstrates an improved methodology…

Carli, Marta; Fontolan, Maria Rosa; Pantano, Ornella – Physics Education, 2021
We describe the design and implementation of a teaching-learning sequence that was started before the lockdown and was then transformed for distance teaching. A backward design approach was adopted in order to identify clear learning outcomes. The activities were outlined according to an inquiry-based learning paradigm, referring to research-based…

Thysiadou, Anna; Gaki, Vaso – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2021
The introduction of the computer into the educational process is a fact. The educational use of new technologies creates a new, more appealing and enjoyable learning environment. The introduction of new technologies into school differentiates the role of the professor by giving him/her a guiding character in a process of experiential approach to…

Rokos, Lukas; Zavodska, Radka – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of inquiry-based science education in Human biology lessons at the university level and compare this efficacy with traditional laboratory works using "cookbook" manuals written by teachers. Pre-tests and post-tests were used to measure the level of students' knowledge and…

Shamsulbahri, Mohamad Mahathir; Zulkiply, Norehan – Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction, 2021
Purpose: The present study examined the effect of Directed Activity Related to Texts (DARTs) and gender on student achievement in qualitative analysis in chemistry. It focused on the qualitative analysis component of the Chemistry course, which for students has been perceived as being the most difficult aspect of their mastery of the subject.…

Shi, Wei-Zhao; Ma, Liping; Wang, Jingying – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Students' epistemologies of experimental physics refer to how they understand the role of experimentation as well as the experimental operation and design and communication of results in physics. This research aimed to find whether students in inquiry-based physics laboratory activities show more expert-like epistemologies of experimental physics…
