Alfanisa Dwi Pramudia Wardani; Wirawan Fadly; Juan David Martinez Zayas – Journal of Science Learning, 2024
One of the points of science learning is to extend students' competence, counting problem-solving and analytical thinking. Conditions within the field appear that most students encounter trouble in fathoming relevant issues including the application of science concepts in real-world circumstances. This condition appears the require for compelling…

Rachel C. Branco; Holly V. Goodson; Erin M. Jonasson – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Case studies are helpful teaching tools that can bring scientific concepts to life. Here, we present a case study related to protein-ligand interactions, amino acids, protein structure, and protein modification. While protein-ligand interaction is a foundational concept within Biochemistry, there are few available case studies that focus on this…

Gwo-Jen Hwang; Wen-Hua Chuang; Lu-Ho Hsia – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Many scientific concepts and theorems are often abstract and challenging to relate to real-life problems, making it difficult for students to grasp them. Therefore, some researchers have attempted to enhance students' understanding by employing a contextual learning approach, which allows students to apply scientific knowledge to real situations…

Sunil Dehipawala; Kelvin Yao; Todd Holden; Tak Cheung – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2024
The damped harmonic oscillator physics problem is a standard oscillation problem in calculus physics for pre-engineering students in a community college. The use of alternative linear algebra eigenvalue stability method is consistent with the upper engineering courses using control theory. The external force and friction damping would become the…

Thohir, M. Anas; Jumadi, Jumadi; Warsono, Warsono – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2020
A blog page is a vital tool to share and discuss information in real-world problem-solving. Unfortunately, this potential of blogs rarely was used to facilitate the problem-solving in specific physics topics. This study aimed to describe and examine a blog transformation in improving students' problem-solving. Through 40 university students, this…

Hammett, Amy; Dorsey, Chad – Science Teacher, 2020
To learn with data, students need "data" to explore. This can be deceptive--data-rich experiences typically involve much more than a straightforward science lab. Solving real problems with data means identifying authentic questions that are meaningful to students and provide a foundation for deep inquiry. Such situations often lend…

Aynas, Naciye; Aslan, Mecit – Journal of Learning for Development, 2021
This study aims to investigate the effects of authentic learning methods -- applied in science courses -- on the problem-solving skills and attitudes towards those courses. As a research design, a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was used in the study. The data of the study were collected from 92 students at the…

Pawlak, Alanna; Irving, Paul W.; Caballero, Marcos D. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
An increasing number of introductory physics courses are seeking to incorporate "authentic practices," and a large area of focus in this trend is the incorporation of computational problems into the curriculum. These problems offer students an opportunity to engage with the programming practices and numerical problem-solving methods used…

Johnson, Kristen C.; Sabel, Jaime L.; Cole, Judith; Pruett, Christin L.; Plymale, Ruth; Reyna, Nathan S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
The need for changing how science is taught and the expansion of undergraduate research experiences is essential to foster critical thinking in the Natural Sciences. Most faculty research programs only involve a small number of upper-level undergraduate students each semester. The course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) model enables…

Mayall, Robert M.; Arcellana-Panlilio, Mayi – Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, 2019
With the ever-increasing push towards authentic learning within post-secondary institutions, many approaches are being explored. One such method with a particular focus on real-world applications has been the International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition program. At the University of Calgary, the iGEM program sees teams of…
