Owiredu, Joshua Kwabena; Asamoah, Evans; Ankomah, Richard; Aduamah, Diana Amoabea – Science Education International, 2023
Achieving deeper and permanent learning has always been the focus of teaching force. This purpose is independent of the teaching level or subject matter. Pre-service teachers' lack of interest and inability to connect learning levels are partly cited for their inability to develop this deeper and permanent learning of science concepts. In this…

Ayyildiz, Yildizay; Tarhan, Leman; Gil, Aylin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Research on chemistry education has found that students have commonly some difficulties in understanding chemical changes. These difficulties in the learning process have negatively affected students' success. For this reason, it is very important to overcome students' learning difficulties with new materials that prevent the…

Ana-Simona Ilie; Paula Maria Buda; Daniela Pahome – Romanian Review of Geographical Education, 2023
In this study, we aim to analyze the effects of discovery-based learning through film viewing on students' knowledge about a specific animal species and its habitat. The following hypothesis is tested: students' knowledge about animals and their environment is greater as a result of discovering information through watching videos. The study…

Soojeong Jeong; Justin Rague; Kaylee Litson; David F. Feldon; M. Jeannette Lawler; Kenneth Plummer – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
DBL is a novel pedagogical approach intended to improve students' conditional knowledge and problem-solving skills by exposing them to a sequence of branching learning decisions. The DBL software provided students with ample opportunities to engage in the expert decision-making processes involved in complex problem-solving and to receive…

Batir, Sebahat Bihter; Akçay, Hakan – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2022
Multimodal representations play crucial role in students' learning process that students communicate their ideas by using representations. The main aim of this research is to determine the effects of multimodal representations on students' science learning. Quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design was used in this study. This study…

Murni, Hutdia Putri; Azhar, Minda; Ellizar, Ellizar; Nizar, Umar Kalmar; Guspatni, Guspatni – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
Previous studies showed that structured inquiry-based learning is suitable for novice learners, chemical multiple representations facilitate meaningful learning, and modules are organized and complete learning materials for students. Modules designed with a structured inquiry-based model and completed with chemical multiple representations could…

Miller, Heather B.; Srougi, Melissa C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Growing evidence suggests that students' self-beliefs about altering their academic abilities can directly influence long-term achievement. These self-beliefs or mindsets can either be fixed (unchangeable) or growth oriented. Students with growth mindsets believe their academic abilities can change, which leads to higher grades and academic…

Cano, Junar S.; Olvis, Paul R.; Disca, Berlita Y.; Docena, Aida F. – International Journal of Technology in Education, 2022
The essence of Genetics lies in the understanding of the concepts of Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. Although these ideas are fundamental to the field, they are notoriously difficult to understand and visualize. While simulation-based instructional materials are found to improve the teaching-learning process in science education, little has…

Porter, C. D.; Smith, J. R. H.; Stagar, E. M.; Simmons, A.; Nieberding, M.; Orban, C. M.; Brown, J.; Ayers, A. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in using virtual reality (VR) technology to benefit instruction, especially in physics and related subjects. As VR devices improve and become more widely available, there remains a number of unanswered questions regarding the impact of VR on student learning and how best to use this technology in the…

Shana, Zuhrieh A.; El Shareef, Marwan A. – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
This paper is a quasi-experimental investigation into the effectiveness of using analogy in teaching new and unfamiliar physics concepts to students enrolled in a British curriculum school in the United Arab Emirates. The students (N = 34) were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the control group (N = 17) following the traditional teaching…

Riedl, Ann; Yeung, Fan; Burke, Tina – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Active learning has been shown to improve student learning and engagement in many 4-year institutions; however, large-scale studies on the efficacy of active learning in community colleges are lacking. In this study, we investigate the effects of active learning in a first semester majors' general biology course at a large, suburban community…

Voice, Alison; Stirton, Arran – New Directions in the Teaching of Physical Sciences, 2020
The use of spaced repetition within a physics higher education thermodynamics module has been analysed for: its pattern of use by students; its effect on memory and performance in the end of module exam; and performance in a delayed test after the summer vacation. A custom-built web app with the facility to generate a personalised repetition…

Bobby, Zachariah; Meiyappan, Kavitha – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Focused self-directed learning is very much essential at present in medical education to catch-up with the increasing information load. Cognitive psychology laboratory studies show that repeated testing of information produces superior retention relative to repeated study. The overall goal of this intervention was to evaluate the effectiveness of…

Lucas, Lyrica; Helikar, Tomáš; Dauer, Joseph – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Comprehensive understanding of complex biological systems necessitates the use of computational models because they facilitate visualisation and interrogation of system dynamics and data-driven analysis. Computational model-based (CMB) activities have demonstrated effectiveness in improving students' understanding and their ability to use and…

Partanen, Lauri – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2018
In this article, I propose a student-centred approach to teaching quantum chemistry and spectroscopy at the bachelor-level that extends active learning principles outside course lectures. The aim is to elucidate what type of methodology is most appropriate and efficient for this context and student population, and how this incorporation of active…
