Chih-Ming Chen; Ming-Chaun Li; Chia-Cheng Tu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
It is difficult for students to learn the concepts of chemical laboratory safety education from actual experiences because the traditional teaching model prohibits students from performing dangerous operations. Therefore, this study develops a novel mixed reality-based chemistry experiment learning system (MRCELS) to allow learners to conduct…

Hu-Au, Elliot; Okita, Sandra – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Recent global events and educational trends have led schools to heavily rely on digital media to educate their students. Science classes, in particular, stand to lose substantial learning opportunities without the ability to provide physical laboratory experiences. Virtual reality (VR) technology has the potential to resolve this issue, but little…

Papadimitropoulos, N.; Dalacosta, K.; Pavlatou, E. A. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
A study with K-9 Greek students was conducted in order to evaluate how the declarative knowledge acquisition was affected by incorporating Arduino experiments in secondary Chemistry Education. A Digital Application (DA) that blends the use of the Arduino sensors' experiments with digital educational material, including Virtual Labs (VLs), was…

Kapici, Hasan Ozgur; Akcay, Hakan; de Jong, Ton – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2019
Although hands-on laboratory experiments are traditionally used in schools, virtual laboratories have entered today's classrooms, due to their specific affordances. In this study, we compared the effect of using hands-on and virtual laboratories in isolation to two different combinations on middle school (7th grade) students' acquisition of…

Gnesdilow, Dana; Puntambekar, Sadhana – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
In this study, we compared students' learning from two conditions in a unit on inclined planes: Virtual-then-Physical (V-t-P) (n = 50), where students conducted a virtual lab followed by a physical lab, or vice versa in the Physical-then-Virtual condition (P-t-V) (n = 60). We analyzed students' written explanations after each lab focusing on…

Nikolaos Papalazarou; Ioannis Lefkos; Nikolaos Fachantidis – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Involving students in laboratory and inquiry-based activities can help them understand the concepts of physics. However the learning process should not only focus on the concepts. Moreover, the advantages of using virtual or physical labs are still under examination. The purpose of this study is to analyse which of the two modes (virtual or…

Angelos Sofianidis; Christos Skraparlis; Nayia Stylianidou – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
This paper presents and discusses the inclusive inquiry-based alternate reality game (IB-ARGI) approach, a pedagogical gamified approach supporting inclusive contemporary educational contexts. The IB-ARGI approach comprises Inquiry-based Learning, Alternate Reality Games, Universal Design for Learning and Augmented Reality technology in order to…

Geraets, Ashley A.; Nottolini, Isadore L.; Doty, Constance M.; Wan, Tong; Chini, Jacquelyn J.; Saitta, Erin K. H. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
There is an assumption that graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) have mastery of the chemistry content they are teaching and preparation to instruct students. However, in reformed classrooms, GTAs may need more support and resources. We designed chemistry rehearsal modules for use in a mixed-reality teaching simulator to help prepare GTAs for…

Roth, Tamara; Scharfenberg, Franz-Josef; Mierdel, Julia; Bogner, Franz X. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
The integration of scientific modeling into science teaching is key to the development of students' understanding of complex scientific phenomena, such as genetics. With this in mind, we conducted an introductory hands-on module during an outreach gene technology laboratory on the structure of DNA. Our module examined the influence of two model…

Byukusenge, Céline; Nsanganwimana, Florien; Tarmo, Albert Paulo – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Some science subjects are often perceived to be difficult and boring by students due to their nature and the way they are taught. This study sought to check the effectiveness of the technology-enhanced instruction method with comprehensive use of virtual labs and animations in teaching nerve cells' (neurons and glial cells) structures and…

Reeves, Shalaunda M.; Crippen, Kent J. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Current technology has the capacity for affording a virtual experience that challenges the notion of a teaching laboratory for undergraduate science and engineering students. Though the potential of virtual laboratories (V-Labs) has been extolled and investigated in a number of areas, this research has not been synthesized for the context of…

Walsh, Yoselyn; Magana, Alejandra J.; Feng, Shi – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
The current study investigates the differences in students' explanations of friction concepts after the use of the visuohaptic simulation with two different of sequenced approaches: enhanced visual first to enhanced visual and haptic feedback second (V [right arrow] V + H), and haptic enhanced first to enhanced visual and haptic feedback second (H…

Boesdorfer, Sarah B.; Daugherty, Jeremy – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Based in the tenants of standards-based grading or specifications grading systems, earning digital badges allows students to engage with content until they demonstrate the required knowledge through assessments to earn the badge. Using digital badges to show completion of criteria has gathered attention, but a study involving their use in a…

Robinson, Frank J.; Reeves, Philip M.; Caines, Helen Louise; De Grandi, Claudia – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Flipped classrooms provide students the opportunity to collaboratively solve challenging problems in class with help and scaffolding available from instructors. Because there are many ways to structure a flipped course, research on the effectiveness of flipping classrooms has produced mixed results. Therefore, it is important for researchers to…

Nadelson, Louis S.; Scaggs, Jonathan; Sheffield, Colin; McDougal, Owen M. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2015
Consistent, high-quality introductions to organic chemistry laboratory techniques effectively and efficiently support student learning in the organic chemistry laboratory. In this work, we developed and deployed a series of instructional videos to communicate core laboratory techniques and concepts. Using a quasi-experimental design, we tested the…
