Beth A. Covitt; Kristin L. Gunckel; Alan Berkowitz; William W. Woessner; John Moore – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Computational models are employed to study and respond to pressing environmental issues such as groundwater contamination. This use of computational models, which often involves algorithms and uncertainty that are hidden to the public, has implications for environmental science literacy. This study applies a design-based research approach to…

Jonathan Robert Bowers – ProQuest LLC, 2024
To make sense of our interconnected and algorithm driven world, students increasingly need proficiency with computational thinking (CT), systems thinking (ST), and computational modeling. One aspect of computational modeling that can support students with CT, ST, and modeling is testing and debugging. Testing and debugging enables students to…

Caushi, Klaudja; Sevian, Hannah; Talanquer, Vicente – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Chemical scientists and engineers are interested in controlling chemical processes to attain specific goals, from synthesizing a desired substance to hindering a particular transformation. Nevertheless, students typically have few opportunities to develop the understandings and practices that are required to effectively engage in chemical control.…

Tamar Fuhrmann; Leah Rosenbaum; Aditi Wagh; Adelmo Eloy; Jacob Wolf; Paulo Blikstein; Michelle Wilkerson – Science Education, 2025
When learning about scientific phenomena, students are expected to "mechanistically" explain how underlying interactions produce the observable phenomenon and "conceptually" connect the observed phenomenon to canonical scientific knowledge. This paper investigates how the integration of the complementary processes of designing…

H. Hasruddin; Ratu Nurul Aulia – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2023
The low level of students' scientific reasoning skills is caused by the low-quality learning process. Action is needed to improve the learning process by applying innovative learning models, the Reading, Identification, Constructing, Solving, Reviewing, and Extending (RICOSRE) learning model. This research aims to determine the effect of RICOSRE…

Emil Eidin; Tom Bielik; Israel Touitou; Jonathan Bowers; Cynthia McIntyre; Dan Damelin; Joseph Krajcik – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Understanding the world around us is a growing necessity for the whole public, as citizens are required to make informed decisions in their everyday lives about complex issues. Systems thinking (ST) is a promising approach for developing solutions to various problems that society faces and has been acknowledged as a crosscutting concept that…

Ayça K. Fackler; Daniel K. Capps – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The literature on scientific modelling practices in science education has provided a fruitful discussion on how learners tend to view models vs. how and what they should think about them. One approach is to teach students that models are abstractions so that they do not view them as a copy of phenomena they represent. Although teaching students…

Lulu Desia Mutiani Rahmayuni; Siti Sriyatib; Diah Kusumawaty – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a business model that must be mastered by students in the Bioentrepreneurship course as an initial provision for entering the entrepreneurial world, while in compiling Business Model Canvas (BMC) systematic thinking skills are needed. This study aims to provide an assessment instrument to measure students' system…

Halil Tu¨may – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemistry is a systems science that deals with complex-dynamic systems and systems thinking is an essential aspect of chemical practices. Thus, a systems thinking approach is needed in chemistry education for meaningful learning of the subject matter. Despite this necessity, systems thinking has not received sufficient attention in chemistry…

Anastasya Putri Aristanti; Arum Fatayan – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2024
The ability to think critically in the 21st century is a skill that must be possessed by every individual. This study, uses a UbD-based problem-based learning model with a conventional learning model to see which learning model has more influence on the critical thinking ability of grade IV students in science subjects. The UbD approach was chosen…

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…

Atchia, Shakeel M. C. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Reflection on current practices is key to the transformation of teachers into reflexive practitioners. This study describes how design thinking was integrated in Schön's 'reflection in and on' model, to transform traditional teaching of Biology into constructivist learning. As a first step, the reflection model was used to identify limitations in…

Zhang, Ningyu; Biswas, Gautam; Hutchins, Nicole – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2022
Strategies are an important component of self-regulated learning frameworks. However, the characterization of strategies in these frameworks is often incomplete: (1) they lack an operational definition of strategies; (2) there is limited understanding of how students develop and apply strategies; and (3) there is a dearth of systematic and…
