Nicole Calma-Roddin; Kevin Park; Jacqueline Keighron – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The three-dimensional nature of macromolecules is often difficult for undergraduate students to grasp. This leads to difficulties in understanding key concepts in Biochemistry, such as protein function and conformational change. Virtual reality (VR) technologies, which can aid students in three-dimensional visualizations, have been shown to…

Melanie B. Berkmen; Melisa Balla; Mikayla T. Cavanaugh; Isabel N. Smith; Misael Eduardo Flores-Artica; Abby M. Thornhill; Julia C. Lockart; Celeste N. Peterson – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Biochemistry and molecular biology students are asked to understand and analyze the structures of small molecules and complex three-dimensional (3D) macromolecules. However, most tools to help students learn molecular visualization skills are limited to two-dimensional (2D) images on screens and in textbooks. The virtual reality (VR) App Nanome,…

Monroe, Christin B.; Stein, Andrew; Tolman, Cynthia – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2022
It is essential for introductory level chemistry students to understand atomic models and how atoms interact to form chemical bonds. The tactile model in this article utilizes marbles to represent subatomic particles, a cup to represent the nucleus and wooden rings to simulate the electron orbitals. These inexpensive items can be combined to…

Dahn, Maggie; Lee, Christine; Enyedy, Noel; Danish, Joshua – Smart Learning Environments, 2021
In inquiry-based science lessons teachers face the challenge of adhering to curricular goals while simultaneously following students' intuitive understandings. Improvisation (improv) provides a useful frame for understanding teaching in these inquiry-based contexts. This paper builds from prior work that uses improv as a metaphor for teaching to…

Keene, Joseph D.; Kiefer, Adam M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Lecture-only chemistry courses without a dedicated laboratory component present a significant challenge for instructors to reinforce course content with hands-on learning experiences. This is especially true for lecture courses in which students are unable to directly visualize and operate instrumentation. Herein, we present an in-class activity…

Habig, Sebastian – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
This paper is about "augmented reality" (AR) and its potentials to support students in handling scientific representations. For this purpose, first representations are examined from a science educational and instructional psychology perspective. After giving a short overview of AR in general and how it can be delineated from…

Chris Vicari – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2020
The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City implemented a science-based curriculum pairing augmented reality (AR) with a student-designed escape room experience to support astronomy learning. AR has the potential to simplify complex systems into digestible concepts. Designing an escape room experience provided students with an…

Bakri, Fauzi; Permana, Handjoko; Wulandari, Suci; Muliyati, Dewi – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2020
Practicum based learning is required to provide opportunities for students in finding and applying concepts by observation. Student worksheets with a discovery learning model and equipped with AR video are needed as a learning tool, so students will be able to have good work in the laboratory and implementation of the practicum is effective. This…

Martin Bílek; Malgorzata Nodzynsk; Wioleta Kopek-Putala; Paulina Zimak-Piekarczyk – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2018
Writing and balancing equations of chemical reactions is one of the most difficult elements of chemistry education for students, which is why it was decided to analyse part of the process which is the most difficult. The process itself consists of multiple stages. it is important to highlight that the focus of research was not only on balancing…
