The study's goal was to determine how peer tutoring affected the anxiety of undergraduate students studying Integrated Science at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) in Ghana's Central Region. The study used a cross-sectional survey research design. Out of 193 students majoring in Integrated Science in their last year at UEW, the…

In the face of accelerating climate change, effective education is paramount to fostering informed citizens and enacting meaningful action. Effective climate instruction contextualizes content so that students are engaged emotionally (affect) and can translate science into action. This paper describes six courses that use integrated approaches to…

There is a lack of knowledge regarding the self-described pedagogical approaches taken by science teachers in Catholic schools regarding the integration of a Catholic worldview in their science classroom. The research team distributed surveys to K-12 Catholic school administrators throughout the Midwest who subsequently distributed…

Background: STEM education, which features interdisplines and integration of disciplines, influences the reform of curriculum and teaching, and is reflected in Chinese science textbooks. Purpose: This study aims to analyse how STEM and its integration factors are presented in Chinese science textbooks. Sample: Three sets of high school science…

Biochemistry, a complicated basic course in health sciences, plays a fundamental role in describing pathogenic mechanism of illness in molecular terms, and is required to be learned for all medical students. Due to various obstacles to biochemistry learning and teaching, there is a pressing issue of curriculum reform to arouse the student's…

Integrated science-and-literacy programs have proven to positively affect both language proficiency and science knowledge. Because making connections is important in both text comprehension and understanding the disciplinary core ideas taught in science, it seems worthwhile to explore the potential of integrating text structure instruction in…

This article examines Kazakhstan's approach to developing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) competencies in future teachers by analyzing educational programs (EPs) and key aspects of STEM education implementation. The purpose is to provide an in-depth understanding of Kazakhstan's strategy for developing STEM skills in…

In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards advocate for the integration of computational thinking (CT) as a science and engineering practice. Additionally, there is agreement among some educational researchers that increasing opportunities for engaging in computational thinking can lend authenticity to classroom activities. This…

"The Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the Next Generation Science Standards require teachers to integrate engineering design into K-12 science teaching. However, many teachers have no formal preparation in engineering design and how to integrate it into science instruction. Furthermore, few models exist for preparing teachers in…

Systemic oppression includes inequitable education that historically does not fully prepare students for comprehensive participation in society. The tools of science education, however, uniquely enable students to explore social inequities as well as the natural world. Thus, a role of education can be to embed social justice in science curricula.…

Introductory anatomy and physiology courses are either taught as discipline-specific courses (human anatomy and human physiology) or integrated sequences [combined human anatomy and physiology (A&P I and A&P II)]. This variation suggests there is no agreed upon pedagogical standard for teaching introductory anatomy and physiology. We…

Increasing access to computational ideas and practices is one important reason to integrate computational thinking (CT) in science classrooms. While integrating CT into science classrooms broadens exposure to computing, it may not be enough to ensure equitable participation in the science classroom. Equitable participation is crucial because…

This paper presents a methodological approach based on the use of complex networks to analyze the structure and content of curricula. We analyze the concept network built from the final year of a particular high school physics curriculum, as well as that of mathematics. We examine the most central nodes in each case, the community structures…
