Seok-Hyun Ga; Changmi Park; Hyun-Jung Cha; Chan-Jong Kim – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Data collection is crucial in securing evidence to support students' arguments during scientific inquiries. However, due to the high costs associated with equipping schools with various measurement devices, students are limited in the scope of their scientific inquiry. Arduino can be proposed as a solution to the lack of measurement devices in…

Turan Güntepe, Ebru; Keles, Esra – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2023
This study aims to design an educational process for teaching scientific concepts during the preschool period based on the instructional design model of Seels and Glasgow and to evaluate its effectiveness. For this purpose, a material set incorporating a teacher's manual and interactive holographic materials was developed. The teacher's manual…

Gonzalez, Emily A.; Grotzer, Tina A.; McGivney, Eileen; Reilly, Joseph – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2022
Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) provide a rich and immersive context for introducing inquiry-based and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) into science classrooms. MUVES can have a significant effect on learning outcomes, however, illuminating how particular design features interact with those outcomes is an important area of investigation for…

Kansoy, Merve Berika; Sert-Cibik, Ayse – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2023
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of guided inquiry activities supported by digital stories in the 6th grade science lesson on students' attitudes towards inquiry. The method of the study was determined as the embedded design, one of the mixed method research designs. 27 students from a public school located in the countryside…

Sung, Shannon H.; Li, Chenglu; Chen, Guanhua; Huang, Xudong; Xie, Charles; Massicotte, Joyce; Shen, Ji – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
In this paper, we demonstrate how machine learning could be used to quickly assess a student's multimodal representational thinking. Multimodal representational thinking is the complex construct that encodes how students form conceptual, perceptual, graphical, or mathematical symbols in their mind. The augmented reality (AR) technology is adopted…

Pino, Hernan; Pastor, Vanesa; Grimalt-Álvaro, Carme; López, Víctor – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
In this article, a low-cost and pocket-sized setup for measuring CO[subscript 2] is presented. This setup is based on Arduinos, making it economic and open to modifications or improvements that satisfy other needs. It is composed of an Arduino board, a CO[subscript 2] sensor, an SD-card module, and a control panel. The device has been tested in…

Royer, Anne M.; Schultheis, Elizabeth H. – American Biology Teacher, 2014
Evolutionary experiments are usually difficult to perform in the classroom because of the large sizes and long timescales of experiments testing evolutionary hypotheses. Computer applications give students a window to observe evolution in action, allowing them to gain comfort with the process of natural selection and facilitating inquiry…

Terrell, Cassidy R.; Listenberger, Laura L. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2017
Recognizing that undergraduate students can benefit from analysis of 3D protein structure and function, we have developed a multiweek, inquiry-based molecular visualization project for Biochemistry I students. This project uses a virtual model of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) to guide students through multiple levels of protein structure analysis. The…

Xiang, Lin; Passmore, Cynthia – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2015
There has been increased recognition in the past decades that model-based inquiry (MBI) is a promising approach for cultivating deep understandings by helping students unite phenomena and underlying mechanisms. Although multiple technology tools have been used to improve the effectiveness of MBI, there are not enough detailed examinations of how…
