Kyril M. Solntsev; Jamie Whelan; Panc?e Naumov – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Retention of students' attention in general chemistry courses stands as one of the main challenges that educators are facing in classes of any size and is especially prevalent with classes composed of mixed majors. Herein, we describe our experience with introducing short, 10 min student lectures ("flash talks") on popular chemistry…

Zengze Liu; Sudong Pan; Lei Bao – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Student learning in simple electric circuits has been an important area in physics education research. This study builds off a previous investigation that applied the conceptual framework model to examine knowledge integration in student learning of simple electric circuits and developed a multiple-choice concept test for assessing knowledge…

Geletu, Girma Moti – Cogent Education, 2022
The study evaluated the effects of teachers' professional and pedagogical competencies on implementing cooperative learning method and enhancing students' learning engagement and outcomes in science. The study employed randomized controlled trials method. The pretest-posttest data were analyzed by using two-tailed t-test and ANCOVA to either…

Toma, Radu Bogdan – School Science and Mathematics, 2022
Guided and open inquiry strategies are found to improve students' attitudes toward science. Yet, confirmation and structured inquiry are more often enacted by teachers. The effectiveness of these approaches involving high teacher guidance remains unexplored. Students in six classes (N = 119, M[subscript age] = 11.25 years) were assigned to control…

Kotzé, Sanet Henriët; Mole, Calvin Gerald – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2015
At Stellenbosch University, South Africa, basic histology is taught to a combination class of almost 400 first-year medical, physiotherapy, and dietetic students. Many students often find the amount of work in basic histology lectures overwhelming and consequently loose interest. The aim was to determine if a draw-along mapping activity would…

Mabrouk, Patricia Ann – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2015
The author describes the principal findings of a survey study looking at student perceptions of a new form-based approach to reflective journaling. A form-based journal assignment was developed for use in introductory lecture courses and tested over a two-year period in an Honors General Chemistry course for engineers with a total of 157…

Dickson, Kerry Ann; Stephens, Bruce Warren – Higher Education Pedagogies, 2016
Literature shows that attendance is an important bidirectional link in engaging students in learning. However, metacognitive awareness eludes many first-year students--particularly the disadvantaged, including those with low admission scores, English as a second language or coming from low socio-economic status (SES), migrant, or first-in-family…

Leinonen, Risto; Asikainen, Mervi A.; Hirvonen, Pekka E. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
As has been shown by previous research, students may possess various misconceptions in the area of thermal physics. In order to help them overcome misconceptions observed prior to instruction, we implemented a one-hour lecture-based intervention in their introductory thermal physics course. The intervention was held after the conventional lectures…

Coetzee, Annaretha; Imenda, Sitwala N. – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2012
The incidence and prevalence of alternative conceptions in science have been reported by a number of researchers. This article reports findings of a study involving the development and implementation of two intervention programmes to address alternative conceptions related to interference and diffraction of waves among 133 first year university…

Fisher, Douglas; Ross, Donna; Grant, Maria – Science Teacher, 2010
Too often, students enter our classrooms with insufficient knowledge of physical science. As a result, they have a difficult time understanding content in texts, lectures, and laboratory activities. This lack of background knowledge can have an impact on their ability to ask questions and wonder--both key components of inquiry. In this article,…
