Anneli Bergnell; Lisbeth Åberg-Bengtsson – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2025
This article is based on multimodal perspectives and contributes to research on how children deal with a multimodal illustration of scientific concepts used in emergent science (i.e., early years science) education. It presents a study of a group of 14 preschoolers observed when dealing with the concept of stability, as illustrated in a…

Arif Rachmatullah; Nonye Alozie; Hui Yang – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The current study explores the connection and affordances of talk and gesture in collaborative science problem-solving activities using an emerging analytical approach. A total of 15 three to five-member groups of middle school students participated in a set of clinical collaborative science problem-solving activities. Six groups (three low- and…

Sabela F. Monteira; María Pilar Jiménez-Aleixandre; Isabel Martins – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2024
This study aims to explore the meanings communicated by young children with visual cultural semiotic resources available in the science classroom. It is a case study in an Early Childhood Education classroom of 23 children (3-4 years old) and their teacher, all engaged in a long-term science project about snails. We focus on the analysis of two…

Kason Ka Ching Cheung; Alis Oancea; Sibel Erduran – Science Education, 2025
Students' understanding of nature of science (NOS) has been largely examined primarily in written or verbal modes. The visual, verbal, and written modes are essential for students' meaning-making of NOS. However, research has sidelined the interaction among these three modes in understanding students' collaborative discourse of NOS. Informed by…

Kok-Sing Tang – Science Education, 2024
Research in languages and literacies in science education (LLSE) has developed substantial theoretical and pedagogical insights into how students learn science through language, discourse, and multimodal representations. At the same time, language is central to the functioning of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). On this common basis…

Sveistrup, Michelle A.; Langlois, Jean; Wilson, Timothy D. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Spatial abilities (SAs) are cognitive resources used to mentally manipulate representations of objects to solve problems. Haptic abilities (HAs) represent tactile interactions with real-world objects transforming somatic information into mental representations. Both are proposed to be factors in anatomy education, yet relationships between SAs and…

David Menendez – Grantee Submission, 2023
During instruction, students are typically presented with new information through several modalities, such as through language and images. Students need to attend to these different modalities and integrate the information in both in order to learn and generalize from instruction. Many studies have shown that the features of each modality, such as…

Karine Molvinger – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
This article focuses on the learning of the Lewis representation at the transition from high school to university, in France. Indeed, this notion is taught both in high school and in the first year of higher education but with different methods, which seems to hinder the learners. In this work, we observe 11th grade and higher education classes…

Bezemer, Jeff; Kress, Gunther – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2020
This review is on Lilian Pozzer and Wolff-Michael Roth's "A cultural-historical perspective on the multimodal development of concepts in science lectures." We offer some brief observations from within the paradigm of social semiotics, more specifically from our own attempts to produce multimodal accounts of learning in and beyond the…

Federico De Lorenzis; Alessandro Visconti; Simone Restivo; Francesca Mazzini; Serena Esposito; Silvia Fraterrigo Garofalo; Luca Marmo; Debora Fino; Fabrizio Lamberti – Smart Learning Environments, 2024
The use of Virtual Reality (VR) in education is getting more and more common, especially when hands-on learning experiences have to be delivered. With VR it becomes possible, e.g., to simulate dangerous or costly procedures that could hardly be implemented in real settings. However, engaging large classes in immersive laboratory activities may be…

Ran Peleg; Orly Lahav; Noha Hagab; Vadim Talis; Sharona T. Levy – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Students who are blind are integrated into public schools in many countries, yet are often excluded from full participation in science since most learning materials are visual. To create a compensatory route, an existing model-based inquiry-learning environment was adapted by means of sonification (addition of non-speech sounds that…

Cirkony, Connie; Tytler, Russell; Hubber, Peter – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Inquiry-based representation-focused approaches in science education have shown promising outcomes when students engage in knowledge building via an active process of constructing, coordinating, and evaluating representations. To date, much of the existing research around these approaches has taken place in pre-digital classrooms, but the…

Ai-Chu Elisha Ding – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
Multilingual learners (MLs) often struggle with science conceptual learning partly due to the abstractness of the concepts and the complexity of scientific texts. This study presents a case of a Virtual Reality (VR) enhanced science learning unit to support middle-school students' science conceptual learning. Using a transformative mixed methods…

Matovu, Henry; Ungu, Dewi Ayu Kencana; Won, Mihye; Tsai, Chin-Chung; Treagust, David F.; Mocerino, Mauro; Tasker, Roy – Studies in Science Education, 2023
The advanced visualisation and interactive capabilities make immersive virtual reality (IVR) attractive for educators to investigate its educational benefits. This research reviewed 64 studies published in 2016-2020 to understand how science educators designed, implemented, and evaluated IVR-based learning. The immersive design features (sensory,…
