Shehab, Saadeddine – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2021
Activities that engage high school students in visualizing chemical phenomena can help them develop representational competence to think about and communicate their understanding of these phenomena. This paper presents a collaborative learning activity that can engage precollege students in designing a poster that describes four different types of…

Dimitri Belli; Guglielmo Lischi; Giovanni Pardini; Paolo Milazzo; Valentina Domenici – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
This technology report presents the main features of a free digital educational tool which aims to introduce middle school level students to the comprehension of the particulate nature of matter in the three states (i.e., solid, liquid, and gas) and during phase transitions. This digital tool is available and is freely accessible online. Its…

Fombona-Pascual, Alba; Fombona, Javier; Vazquez-Cano, Esteban – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Atomic/molecular visualization for human sight is usually generated by a software that reproduces a 3D reality on a 2D screen. Although Virtual Reality (VR) software was originally developed for the gaming industry, now it is used in academia for chemistry teaching. This work reviews the scientific literature on 3D visualization in stereoscopic…

Soong, Ronald; Jenne, Amy; Biswas, Rajshree Ghosh; Adamo, Antonio; Simpson, Andre – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The ability to visualize chemical processes can be an asset in a teaching laboratory. Despite the advances in laboratory technology, apparatuses used in the teaching of simple thermodynamics concepts, such as exothermic/endothermic reactions, historically remain unchanged and can benefit from a fresh perspective. The recent incorporation of…

Acuña-Umaña, K.; Gómez-Quirós, Carla; Herrera-Sancho, Oscar Andrey – Physics Education, 2022
The implementation of theatre as a didactic tool for teaching science provides a new perspective on the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in the construction of meaningful learning experiences. Gamification and collaborative work are functional strategies to teach scientific concepts in a creative way. However, there are still conceptual…

Bauer, Aaron; Flatten, Jeff; Zoran Popovic – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
Problem-solving skills in creative, open-ended domains are both important and little understood. These domains are generally ill-structured, have extremely large exploration spaces, and require high levels of specialized skill in order to produce quality solutions. We investigate problem-solving behavior in one such domain, the…

Lämsä, Joni; Hämäläinen, Raija; Koskinen, Pekka; Viiri, Jouni – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
This study presents new ways of visualising technology-enhanced collaborative inquiry-based learning (CIBL) processes in an undergraduate physics course. The data included screen-capture videos from a technology-enhanced learning environment and audio recordings of discussions between students. We performed a thematic analysis based on the phases…

Cai, Huiying; Lin, Lin; Gu, Xiaoqing – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2016
This study provides an in-depth look into the implementation process of visualization-based tools for structuring collaborative problem solving (CPS) in the classroom. A visualization-based learning platform--the semantic diagram for structuring CPS in a real classroom was designed and implemented. Metafora, the preliminary vehicle of the semantic…

Gutman, Mary; Steiner, Dasi; Mendelovich, Miriam – African Educational Research Journal, 2016
The current tendency to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into teaching challenges teachers to both develop and convey Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK). This study examines the extent to which science teachers who have integrated ICT into their practice really demonstrate awareness of the aspects of meaningful…

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…

Stewart, Mary Amanda, Ed.; Hansen-Thomas, Holly, Ed. – TESOL Press, 2019
Discover the ways teachers and researchers apply up-to-date TESOL research to meet both content and language acquisition criteria while also affirming students' cultural knowledge, life experiences, and language abilities. Like the high school grades themselves, the chapters in this volume are organized by academic content area including language…

Pietzner, Verena – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2014
Currently not many people would doubt that computers play an essential role in both public and private life in many countries. However, somewhat surprisingly, evidence of computer use is difficult to find in German state schools although other countries have managed to implement computer-based teaching and learning in their schools. This paper…

Oh, Elisabeth Yian Yian; Treagust, David F.; Koh, Thiam Seng; Phang, Wei Lian; Ng, Shuh Lit; Sim, Gary; Chandrasegaran, A. L. – Teaching Science, 2012
An instructional program using four simulation applets was used to facilitate understanding of gas and liquid pressure concepts among twenty-two students in a Year 9 class from an independent secondary school in Singapore. A comparison group consisting of twenty-two students was taught using traditional didactic, chalk-and-talk instruction.…

Altiparmak, Melek; Nakiboglu Tezer, Mahmure – Online Submission, 2009
Understanding life on a molecular level is greatly enhanced when students are given the opportunity to visualize the molecules. Especially understanding DNA structure and function is essential for understanding key concepts of molecular biology such as DNA, central dogma and the manipulation of DNA. Researches have shown that undergraduate…

Reiner, Miriam – International Journal of Science Education, 2009
Bodily manipulations, such as juggling, suggest a well-synchronized physical interaction as if the person were a physics expert. The juggler uses "knowledge" that is rooted in bodily experience, to interact with the environment. Such enacted bodily knowledge is powerful, efficient, predictive, and relates to sensory perception of the dynamics of…
