Kenneth Drake; Steven Rooney – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
We present our work on a hybridized undergraduate research model that blends the apprenticeship model with that of a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) to produce the course apprenticeship-based model (CAB). The purpose of CAB was to incentivize students' interest in undergraduate research at an urban associate granting…

Oktay, Ozlem; Avci, Zeynep; Sen, Ahmet Ilhan – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
Learning from digital media is one of the notable learning environments used outside of school. The effect of using digital technology in education is well known today, as where such tools are used appropriately in lessons, they can make an effective contribution to the teaching and learning of abstract science subjects such as astronomy. The…

Thomas, Debra Kelly; Milenkovic, Lisa; Marousky, Annamargareth – Science and Children, 2019
Computer science (CS) and computational thinking (a problem-solving process used by computer scientists) teach students design, logical reasoning, and problem solving--skills that are valuable in life and in any career. Computational thinking (CT) concepts such as decomposition teach students how to break down and tackle a large complex problem.…

Ferreira González, Laura; Hennemann, Thomas; Schlüter, Kirsten – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2019
Inclusive education requires that teachers not only teach academic knowledge and skills, but also consider the individual needs of all pupils, especially with respect to their social-emotional status. All teachers (including science and biology teachers) have to promote the wellbeing of their pupils by helping them develop social-emotional skills.…

O'Hare, Liam; Stark, Patrick; McGuinness, Carol; Biggart, Andy; Thurston, Allen – Education Endowment Foundation, 2017
This report describes the development and pilot evaluation of SMART Spaces. This programme aims to boost GCSE science outcomes by applying the principle that information is more easily learnt when it is repeated multiple times, with time passing between the repetitions. This approach is known as "spaced learning" and is contrasted with a…
