Vicente Talanquer; Resa Kelly – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Analysis of results from research in cognitive science and discipline-based education in recent years suggests that student thinking and learning can be better understood and investigated by adopting a systemic perspective that recognizes the complex and dynamic interactions taking place within and across multiple interconnected and interdependent…

Emily M. Stump; Matthew Dew; Gina Passante; N. G. Holmes – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Measurement uncertainty is an important topic in the undergraduate laboratory curriculum. Previous research on student thinking about experimental measurement uncertainty has focused primarily on introductory-level students' procedural reasoning about data collection and interpretation. In this paper, we extended this prior work to study…

Danijela Dodlek; Gorazd Planinsic; Eugenia Etkina – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Research carried out through the last 20 years gave us undeniable evidence that to learn anything we need to be active participants, not passive observers. One of the important aspects of learning physics is constructing explanations of physical phenomena. To support and guide students toward constructing their explanations, teachers need to be…

Tekkumru-Kisa, Miray; Akcil-Okan, Ozlem; Kisa, Zahid; Southerland, Sherry – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Recent instructional reforms in science education aim to change the way students engage in learning in the discipline, as they describe that students are to engage with disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and the practices of science to make sense of phenomena (NRC, 2012). For such sensemaking to become a reality, there is a need to…

Bruce, Mitchell R. M.; Bruce, Alice E.; Walter, Joseph – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Chemical reasoning takes many forms. The focus in this paper is on a reasoning process that facilitates using experimental evidence to make connections between macroscopic and submicroscopic domains, which we will refer to as "creating representation." It is a particular type of reasoning that has played a critical role in chemistry,…

Megan Shiroda; Jennifer H. Doherty; Emily E. Scott; Kevin C. Haudek – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Mass balance (MB) reasoning offers a rich topic for examination of students' scientific thinking and skills, as it requires students to account for multiple inputs and outputs within a system and apply covariational reasoning. Using previously validated constructed response prompts for MB, we examined 1,920 student-constructed responses (CRs)…

Miranda, Ana Carolina Gomes; Pazinato, Maurícius Selvero – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2023
The focus of the present study is the learning processes of concepts related to hydrogen bonds, which were developed using a didactic sequence (DS). Based on the perspective of Imre Lakatos, it was observed whether the explanatory models created by upper-secondary students form progressive transition sequences, which are similar to what Lakatos,…

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…

Erman, Erman; Wakhidah, Nur – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2023
This study aims to help concrete thinkers learn science through the use of Piagets' cognitive processes (CPs) during scientific inquiry. A total of 203 fourth-grade students participated as volunteers in a pre-post control group study. The students were from urban, remote rural, and suburban regions of Indonesia. Data analysis demonstrated that…

Ina Zaimi; Amber J. Dood; Ginger V. Shultz – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Asking students to explain why phenomena occur at a molecular level is vital to increasing their understanding of chemistry concepts. One way to elicit students' mechanistic reasoning and guide construction of knowledge is through Writing-to-Learn (WTL), which is a promising approach for students in organic chemistry courses. In the design of WTL…

Caroline J. Crowder; Brandon J. Yik; Stephanie J. H. Frost; Daniel Cruz-Rami´rez de Arellano; Jeffrey R. Raker – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Understanding reaction mechanisms is integral to success in organic chemistry; however, prior research suggests that learners struggle with recognizing the importance of underlying implicit features in reaction mechanisms. Because of this struggle, understanding how learners' reason about reaction mechanisms and developing assessments to elicit…

Peter Francis Moon – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has great potential for enhancing mathematics and science lessons in K-12 education. Numerous studies demonstrate that under the right circumstances, CT integration in math and science can improve student learning and promote deeper understanding. However, teacher education currently does not include preparation for…

Suritno Fayanto; I Nyoman Sudana Degeng; Syaad Patmanthara; Saida Ulfa – Science Education International, 2024
Design-Based Learning and computational thinking (CT) are two key components that support each other specifically in the learning process involving the development of experimental design. Both components emphasize the importance of integration between computational thinking and design-based learning to support a creative, innovative and data…
