Magdalena Kersting; Tamer G. Amin; Elias Euler; Bor Gregorcic; Jesper Haglund; Liv Kondrup Hardahl; Rolf Steier – Science & Education, 2024
Bodily engagement with the material and sociocultural world is ubiquitous in doing and learning science. However, science education researchers have often tended to emphasize the disembodied and nonmaterial aspects of science learning, thereby overlooking the crucial role of the body in meaning-making processes. While in recent years we have seen…

Neta Shaby; Orit Ben-Zvi Assaraf; Nicole Pillemer Koch – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
There are relatively few studies examining cooperative learning during laboratory activities in a science museum. This study aims to explore such activities to better understand the nature of cooperative learning, if any, in that setting. The participants in this study were 60 fourth-grade students who visited a science museum lab as part of a…

Jyoti Wadmare; Dakshita Kolte; Kapil Bhatia; Palak Desai; Ganesh Wadmare – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2024
Aim/Purpose: This paper highlights an innovative and impactful online operating system algorithms e-learning tool in engineering education. Background: Common teaching methodologies make it difficult to teach complex algorithms of operating systems. This paper presents a solution to this problem by providing simulations of different complex…

de Winter, James; Millar, Robin – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Practical work is widely seen as an integral part of school science. Research and teacher guidance have tended to consider practical work in science, rather than in individual science subjects or topics. This study used a questionnaire of selected- and open-response items to probe the views and reasoning of a sample of 43 pre-service teachers in…

Nausheen W. Sadiq; Tabussom Qureshi – Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, 2024
The scope of this preliminary study revolves around investigating the effectiveness of experiential learning in upper-year science laboratory courses in a post-pandemic era. In this study we have explored two key questions: 1. Can experiential learning facilitate independent inquiry in an upper-year undergraduate laboratory in a post-pandemic era?…

Exposure to nature can improve mental health and cognitive abilities, while creating enhanced engagement with biological course material through interactions with organisms and ecosystems. Remote biology education was suddenly implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic at many universities, and such distance education continues to provide broadened…

Terra Marie M. Jouaneh; Margaret E. Rosario; Yibo Li; Elizabeth Leibovitz; Matthew J. Bertin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Growth in the biomedical and biotechnology sectors requires a highly trained and highly skilled workforce to answer the next great scientific questions. Undergraduate laboratory courses incorporating hands-on training based in authentic research position soon-to-be graduates to learn in environments that mirror those of academic, industrial, and…

Ly Thi Tran; Huong Le Thanh Phan; Alecia Bellgrove – Educational Review, 2024
Embedding learning abroad as part of the curriculum has become popular in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the US and European countries. In Australia, the government has actively promoted and committed to funding students' learning abroad in the Indo-Pacific region which is considered to be strategic to the nation's prosperity and public…

Haruka Honda; Noritaka Miyamoto; Hisayuki Miyajima; Yuichi Tanaka – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Fluorescence microscopy is a useful tool that allows students to learn the principles of fluorescence visually in chemical and biological fields. However, fluorescence equipment has high purchase and maintenance costs and thus may not be available in educational institutions or insufficiently funded laboratories. In this study, a microscope stage…

Anna Solé-Llussà; Andrea Saba-Mayoral; Sofía Sánchez; Teresa Capell; Manuel Ibáñez – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
We designed and evaluated a student laboratory workshop on plant-based vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The workshop focused on hands-on laboratory techniques, including DNA extraction from rice seeds, where the recombinant protein was produced, detection of the transgene, and basic concepts on how vaccines work in the human body to offer…

García Terceño, Eva M.; Greca, Ileana M. – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
In this systematic review, a series of didactic proposals and experiences that have been developed over recent years in formal education are presented with the common purpose of ensuring that students with special educational needs learn science. Initially, only 54 publications on the topic were identified, which underlines the scarce research…

Desforges, Ruth – Primary Science, 2018
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) has a huge collection of unique and curious objects from the natural world that have been loaned to us by HM Revenue and Customs after being seized at the UK border. Among the turtle shells and snake skins, the strangest of these is perhaps the freestanding rhino-foot ash tray. This single object can open up…

Murov, Steven; Chavez, Arnold – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Despite its vital importance in our lives, chemistry is inadequately represented in most museums. Issues such as safety, replenishing and disposal of chemicals, supervision required, and cost are constraints that have limited the number and size of chemistry exhibits. Taking into account the constraints, a 21-station interactive and inexpensive…

Gass, Susan; Mui, Amy; Manning, Paul; Cray, Heather; Gibson, Lara – Environmental Education Research, 2021
Biodiversity education is widely considered a necessary component of protecting global biodiversity by helping to change harmful attitudes and actions. BioBlitz events, rapid surveys of all living things in a defined area over a set period, are becoming a widely used practice for biodiversity education. The aim of this study was to evaluate the…
