Chiu-Hsia Huang; Ya-Ling Chen; Holger Haas – European Journal of STEM Education, 2024
This study explored the views of 63 Taiwanese pre-service teachers who had participated in a workshop about the value of integrating drama-based approaches in their practical science learning. It was primarily designed to investigate the pedagogical approach of Heathcote and other founders of process drama. In addition, it examined specific claims…

Cavadas, Bento; Rézio, Sofia; Nogueira, João Robert; Branco, Neusa – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
Integration is an important, albeit difficult, goal of science and mathematics education. This paper presents a framework and a research design proposal to identify preservice teachers' (PSTs) integration performance of science and mathematics (IPoSM). It also presents the classification of PSTs' level of integration in each phase of a…

Bin Du; Jialing Guo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Academic misconduct is a serious issue among college students, and integrating academic ethics into major courses is expected to help prevent, dissuade, and respond to this issue. With the widespread adoption of flipped classrooms in higher education, it is necessary to explore effective ways to integrate academic ethics into flipped major…

Marcus Kubsch – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Energy is a central concept across the sciences and an important goal of science education is to support all students so that they develop a full understanding of the energy concept. However, given the abstract and complex nature of the energy concept, only a few students develop an understanding so that they can use energy ideas to make sense of…

Maureen Patricia Fennessy – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Reading and writing are central to the conception of science and the work of scientists. While recent scholarship on science literacy suggests the benefits of integrating reading and writing in science teaching, less is known about the extent to which science teachers implement such integration. This naturalistic study examines two sixth-grade…

Chen, Ya-Chun; Pan, Yi-Ting; Hong, Zuway-R; Weng, Xue-Fang; Lin, Huann-Shyang – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2020
Background: As inquiry-based instruction is not universally implemented in science classrooms, it is crucial to introduce instructional strategies through the use of contextualized learning activities to allow students with different background knowledge and abilities to learn the essential competencies of scientific inquiry and promote their…

Mirizon, Soni; Wadham, Ben; Curtis, David – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2019
The objective of this study was to investigate how integrated content and language instruction, where English is used as the medium of instruction in teaching Mathematics and Science was viewed by the lecturers of the content subjects. The study also examined whether or not it had impacts on the lecturers classroom instructional practices.…

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…

Nichols, Amanda J.; Stephens, April H. – Journal for Learning through the Arts, 2013
Science and the arts might seem very different, but the processes that both fields use are very similar. The scientific method is a way to explore a problem, form and test a hypothesis, and answer questions. The creative process creates, interprets, and expresses art. Inquiry is at the heart of both of these methods. The purpose of this article is…

Drinkwater, Michael J.; Gannaway, Deanne; Sheppard, Karen; Davis, Matthew J.; Wegener, Margaret J.; Bowen, Warwick P.; Corney, Joel F. – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2014
Turning lectures into interactive, student-led question and answer sessions is known to increase learning, but enabling interaction in a large class seems an insurmountable task. This can discourage adoption of this new approach -- who has time to individualize responses, address questions from over 200 students and encourage active participation…

Panijpan, Bhinyo; Ruenwongsa, Pintip; Sriwattanarothai, Namkang – Bioscience Education, 2008
In this article we recount our experiences of teaching photosynthesis in an integrated way to secondary school students and teachers, science undergraduates and postgraduates. Conceptual questions were posed to investigate learners' fundamental understanding of simple light-dependent and light-independent processes taught to most students at…
