Group work is often used in university courses. This article examines group work in a widely interdisciplinary holography course that combines both art and science, for students from the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences. In these interdisciplinary teams, how much specialization of labor (dividing work according to students'…

Direct linkLiu, Huaping; Xiao, Wei; Zhao, Hongyan; Sun, Fuchun – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2014
System stability is a basic concept in courses on dynamic system analysis and control for undergraduate students with computer science backgrounds. Typically, this was taught using a simple simulation example of an inverted pendulum. Unfortunately, many difficult issues arise in the learning and understanding of the concepts of stability,…

Jackson, Julie; Narvaez, Rose – Science and Children, 2013
It is common to see word walls displaying the vocabulary that students have learned in class. Word walls serve as visual scaffolds and are a classroom strategy used to reinforce reading and language arts instruction. Research shows a strong relationship between student word knowledge and academic achievement (Stahl and Fairbanks 1986). As a…

Science Created by You (SCY) is a project on learning in science and technology domains. SCY uses a pedagogical approach that centres around products, called "emerging learning objects" (ELOs) that are created by students. Students work individually and collaboratively in SCY-Lab (the general SCY learning environment) on "missions" that are guided…

Corsi, Gianluca – Science Teacher, 2010
Self-regulated learning (SRL) encourages students to learn using metacognition, strategic action, and motivation. This nontraditional approach to education relies on the student's active role in learning and the instructor's facilitatory role in teaching. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of an SRL instructional model the author…

Wu, Hsin-Kai; Krajcik, Joseph S. – Science Education, 2006
This study explores seventh graders' use of inscriptions in a teacher-designed project-based science unit. To investigate students' learning practices during the 8-month water quality unit, we collected multiple sources of data (e.g., classroom video recordings, student artifacts, and teacher interviews) and employed analytical methods that drew…

Polman, Joseph L. – 1998
This paper discusses research on activity structure design in a project-based science classroom and efforts to adapt designs from this setting to an after-school program involving historical inquiry. Common activity structures such as classroom lessons and Initiation-Reply-Evaluation (I-R-E) sequences are important cultural tools that help…

Balas, Andrea K.; Mascazine, John R. – 1998
This paper reports on a study of general biology students (N=24) in a small college environment in the Columbus, Ohio area. Comparisons are made between student learning styles, perceptual modalities, and their responses on Likert and open response survey items. Student perceptual modalities are also correlated with the students' choices of final…

Peer reviewedGiese, Ronald N.; And Others – Science Teacher, 1992
Provides a model that maps out five stages of relating library and scientific research: (1) establish an interest; (2) narrow a topic; (3) clarify the variables; (4) refine the procedures; and (5) interpret the unexpected. Provides a student questionnaire for selecting a topic and a format for general note taking. (MDH)

Peer reviewedRonen, Miky – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Presented in this paper is a model of a preservice teachers' course on the use of computers for science and technology instruction. The main goal of the course is to lead the students to realize the potential offered by the medium for instructional purposes and to develop self-confidence. (Author/KR)

Peer reviewedArce, Josefina; Betancourt, Rosa – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1997
Describes the use of simple projects to help freshmen-level chemistry students develop chemical knowledge and an aptitude for the research process. These projects pose a new problem to students without presenting a detailed experimental procedure. Guiding questions help students design their own experiments and stimulate students to think…
