Sasha Nikolic; Thomas F. Suesse; Sarah Grundy; Rezwanul Haque; Sarah Lyden; Ghulam M. Hassan; Scott Daniel; Marina Belkina; Sulakshana Lal – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
The literature on laboratory objectives in engineering education research is scattered and inconsistent. Systematic literature reviews identified the need for better understanding. This paper ranks the laboratory learning objectives across the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains to improve scaffolding. It provides an opportunity for…

Daniel Laumann; Paul Schlummer; Adrian Abazi; Rasmus Borkamp; Jonas Lauströer; Wolfram Pernice; Carsten Schuck; Reinhard Schulz-Schaeffer; Stefan Heusler – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
For nearly two decades, augmented reality (AR) has found diverse applications in education, particularly in science education, where its efficacy has been supported by relevant theories and many empirical studies. However, previous studies have revealed the following research deficit: While AR technology appears to influence learning-related…

Robin Stoodley; Kerry J. Knox; Elizabeth A. L. Gillis – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Undergraduate chemistry laboratory instruction can be considered from many perspectives and addresses multiple educational aims. We critically assess an inventory of "Cognitive Tasks of Experimental Research" for its applicability to chemistry laboratory teaching, and then apply it to an integrated upper-level laboratory course as an…

Cook, Jacob; Ekstedt, Thomas; Self, Brian; Koretsky, Milo – Advances in Engineering Education, 2022
Based on the pedagogical principle of cognitive conflict, Inquiry-Based Laboratory Activities (IBLAs) have been shown to improve conceptual understanding of challenging science and engineering topics. Yet, providing students physical apparatuses to complete an IBLA is not tenable in every instructional setting. This paper reports design,…

Clevenger, Lindsey; Teshera-Levye, Jennifer; Walker, Joi P.; Vance-Chalcraft, Heather D. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
Argumentation is vital in the development of scientific knowledge, and students who can argue from evidence and support their claims develop a deeper understanding of science. In this study, the Argument-Driven Inquiry instruction model was implemented in a two-semester sequence of introductory biology laboratories. Student's scientific…

Jenna Koenen; Lars Mariot; Rüdiger Tiemann – European Educational Researcher, 2023
In the future, learning will be essentially characterized by the ability to regulate the learning process and monitor success independently from a teacher. The technical possibilities offer better access to learning contents, precise and more individualized feedback, and learning phases adapted precisely to the needs of the learner in terms of…

Nikolic, Sasha; Suesse, Thomas; Jovanovic, Kosta; Stanisavljevic, Zarko – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: This article provides evidence that perceived learning has a relationship and influences the way students evaluate laboratory experiments, facilities, and demonstrators. Background: Debate continues on the capability and/or reliability of students to evaluate teaching and/or learning. Understanding such relationships can help…

Kaps, Andreas; Stallmach, Frank – Physics Education, 2022
Smartphone-based experimental exercises were incorporated as part of the homework problems in an introductory mechanics course at a university. A quasi-experimental field study with two cohorts design was performed to measure the impact of such exercises on motivation, interest and conceptual understanding. The empirical results on learning…

Nikolic, Sasha; Ros, Montserrat; Jovanovic, Kosta; Stanisavljevic, Zarko – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
The laboratory is an integral component of engineering education, resulting in a multitude of studies. Generally, the research focus is on the laboratory innovation, rather than learning itself. It is observed that empirical evidence is strongly built around student perceptions of their learning or experience via survey instruments; and in some…

Hakki Kadayifci – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2017
Science lecturers usually do not pay special attention to giving students the chance to evaluate persistent unexpected experimental findings that they cannot explain with their existing theories, propose alternative hypotheses and develop new theories in inquiry tasks at schools, despite the importance of these processes in scientific discoveries.…

Whitworth, Karen; Leupen, Sarah; Rakes, Christopher; Bustos, Mauricio – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
Student learning in biology may be impaired by instructional environments that emphasize technical methodology over analysis. We hypothesized that time gained by experimenting with accurate computer simulations could be used to engage students in analytical, creative learning. The effects of treatments that combined a week of simulated lab…

Thomas, Gregory; Meldrum, Al – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore students' perceptions to changes to the learning environment of their undergraduate physics laboratories, in which their scientific inquiry processes were stimulated. Design/methodology/approach: The activities students engaged in were redesigned to reflect a guided inquiry approach and to…

Efstathiou, Charalampos; Hovardas, Tasos; Xenofontos, Nikoletta A.; Zacharia, Zacharias C.; deJong, Ton; Anjewierden, Anjo; van Riesen, Siswa A. N. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
The present study employed a quasi-experimental design to assess a computer-based tool, which was intended to scaffold the task of designing experiments when using a virtual lab for the process of experimentation. In particular, we assessed the impact of this tool on primary school students' cognitive processes and inquiry skills before and after…

Wieman, Carl – Physics Teacher, 2015
Undergraduate instructional labs in physics generate intense opinions. Their advocates are passionate as to their importance for teaching physics as an experimental activity and providing "hands-on" learning experiences, while their detractors (often but not entirely students) offer harsh criticisms that they are pointless, confusing and…

Akkuzu, Nalan; Uyulgan, Melis Arzu – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2017
The current study examines the performance and achievement of students in the Systematic Qualitative Analyses of Cations (SQACs). We sought answers to questions such as, "What are the students' levels of performance?" and "What is the relation between the average scores for performance and achievement?." This was done by using…
