Sintje Liline; Anensiana Tomhisa; Dominggus Rumahlatu; Kristin Sangur – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2024
In this industrial revolution era, university-level education emphasises higher-order thinking skills. This research aims to analyse the effect of implementing the PjB-HOTS learning model on cognitive learning, creative thinking skills, analytical thinking skills, and metacognitive skills of the students studying osmoregulation concepts in Animal…

Garcia Moreno-Esteva, Enrique; Kervinen, Anttoni; Hannula, Markku S.; Uitto, Anna – Education Sciences, 2020
In this article we discuss, as a proof of concept, how a network model can be used to analyse gaze tracking data coming from a preliminary experiment carried out in a biodiversity education research project. We discuss the network model, a simple directed graph, used to represent the gaze tracking data in a way that is meaningful for the study of…

Hanisch, Susan; Eirdosh, Dustin – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Evolutionary anthropologists commonly describe humans as a highly cooperative species, based on our evolved socio-cognitive capacities. However, students and the general public may not necessarily share this view about our species. At the same time, fostering our ability to cooperate is considered a key foundation for achieving sustainable…

Hughes, Andrea – Primary Science, 2022
The author relates their involvement in the process of testing a picture storybook to teach science concepts. The project asked: If children were learning through a story where the science content was explicit, would children be able to explain the science in the context of the story and then in real-world contexts? Would the learning become…

Asmus, Stephen E.; Szalanczy, Alexandria M.; Murray, Shannon K.; Overstreet, Spencer A.; Vokoun, Amanda R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is a cellular pathway by which individual cells self-destruct for the benefit of the organism. In this practical paper, we describe laboratory exercises with an inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach in which undergraduate students compared apoptosis among different types of cultured cells. Ultraviolet (UV)…

Sanlitürk, Arda Danistay; Zeybek, Gülçin – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
In the digital age we live in, electronic teaching materials can effectively increase students' participation in the learning and teaching process. In addition, it is known that using visual materials in science education has a positive effect on learning in this direction. The study aims to determine the effect of digital concept cartoons in the…

Aisya, Naafi; Ibrohim, I.; Mahanal, Susriyati; Maghfiroh, Hidayati – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2023
Although the empowerment of critical thinking (CT) has become an international concern that needs to be developed in the biology learning process for high school students, there still needs to be more relevant research literature. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of implementing reading, questioning, and answering strategies…

Asshoff, Roman; Heuckmann, Benedikt; Ryl, Mike; Reinhardt, Klaus – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Bed bugs are on the rise and are increasingly perceived as harmful parasites. Because individuals affected by bed bugs often feel disgust and shame and are stigmatized, bed bugs are an important public health and environmental justice concern and therefore a health education issue as well. In this quasi-experimental study, we examine how different…

Sidou, Lais Feltrin; Borges, Endler Marcel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the most important and powerful methods in chemometrics as well as in a wealth of other areas. Running a PCA results in two main elements, the score plot and the loading plot; the score plot provides the location of the samples, and the loading plot indicates correlations among variables, the trends in…

Thai, Ngoc Thuy Thi; De Wever, Bram; Valcke, Martin – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
This study compares four learning environments: face-to-face learning (F2F), fully e-learning (EL), blended learning (BL), and flipped classroom (FC) with respect to students' learning performance. Moreover, this present research studies changes in perceived flexibility, intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy beliefs of students, and the interaction…

Malone, Kathy L.; Schunn, Christian D.; Schuchardt, Anita M. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2018
The National Research Council framework for science education and the Next Generation Science Standards have developed a need for additional research and development of curricula that is both technologically model-based and includes engineering practices. This is especially the case for biology education. This paper describes a quasi-experimental…

Drummond, Gordon B.; Vowler, Sarah L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2013
This final article in the authors' series draws together some of the ideas they have addressed, and suggests important "ingredients" that make a paper palatable to the reviewer and the reader. These ingredients include: (1) Describe the methods; (2) Plan the analysis; (3) Design the study; (4) Use the correct experimental unit; and (5)…

Herron, Julie; Foster, Andrea – Science and Children, 2017
In this featured lesson, entitled "Fishy Feeding Frenzy," fourth-grade students engage in a classic science activity that requires them to experience the interdependent relationships of organisms in an ecosystem. The students explore how adaptations increase the survival of a member of a species by participating in an active "fishy…

Hofferber, Natalia; Basten, Melanie; Großmann, Nadine; Wilde, Matthias – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
Self-Determination Theory and Flow Theory propose that perceived autonomy fosters the positive qualities of motivation and flow-experience. Autonomy-support can help to maintain students' motivation in very interesting learning activities and may lead to an increase in the positive qualities of motivation in less interesting learning activities.…

Wünschmann, Stephanie; Wüst-Ackermann, Peter; Randler, Christoph; Vollmer, Christian; Itzek-Greulich, Heike – Research in Science Education, 2017
Interventions in out-of-school settings have been shown in previous studies to effectively increase students' science knowledge and motivation, with mixed results on whether they are more effective than teaching at school. In this study, we compared an out-of-school setting in a reptile and amphibian zoo (Landau, Germany) with a sequence of…
