Ali Kolomuç; Mustafa Metin; Volkan Bilir – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2024
During the COVID-19 pandemic, educators reported that the most affected group in distance education was special needs students. Educators also provided critical reports stating that special needs students miss or fail to understand activities in online education. The reason for this issue can be the lack of access to resources, the inability to…

Ramirez, Hazel Joyce M.; Monterola, Sheryl Lyn C. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is a technology-driven inquiry-based approach that encourages social interaction and shared knowledge construction in completing computer-aided tasks. Although there were researches carried out on CSCL, no research to date has extensively examined how CSCL enhanced with scripts containing…

Fund, Zvia; Madjar, Nir – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
The current study focused on scaffolding programmes, including cognitive and meta-cognitive components, for science problem solving in a computerised learning environment to identify their unique effects on aspects of student motivation. Using expectancy-value theory as a conceptual framework, the current study focused on two motivational aspects:…

Donnelly, Dermot F.; Namdar, Bahadir; Vitale, Jonathan M.; Lai, Kevin; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
In this study, we explore how two different prompt types within an online computer-based inquiry learning environment enhance 392 7th grade students' explanations of evolution with three teachers. In the "elaborating" prompt condition, students are prompted to write explanations that support the accepted theory of evolution. In the…

Sun, Daner; Looi, Chee-Kit; Xie, Wenting – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2017
When inquiry-based learning is designed for a collaborative context, the interactions that arise in the learning environment can become fairly complex. While the learning effectiveness of such learning environments has been reported in the literature, there have been fewer studies on the students' learning processes. To address this, the article…

Belland, Brian R.; Gu, Jiangyue; Kim, Nam Ju; Turner, David J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2016
Science educators increasingly call for students to address authentic scientific problems in science class. One form of authentic science problem--socioscientific issue--requires that students engage in complex reasoning by considering both scientific and social implications of problems. Computer-based scaffolding can support this process by…

Weigend, Michael – Informatics in Education, 2014
Scientific issues like the behavior of wild and domesticated animals can serve as a motivation to learn programming concepts. Instead of following a systematic introduction, the students directly dive into programming and start immediately with their projects. In this constructionist approach the educational challenge for the teacher is to provide…
