Alexander V. Shokurov; Carlo Menon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Many aspects of electrochemical education, such as electroanalysis demonstrations, require three-electrode-cell experimental setups. Many researchers and educators use screen-printed electrochemical electrodes, which are miniature and disposable but are relatively expensive and use proprietary fabrication components. The present article describes…

Bruno Bousquet; Martin Hachet; Vincent Casamayou; Erwan Normand; Jean-Paul Guillet; Lionel Canioni – Discover Education, 2024
HOBIT, which stands for "Hybrid Optical Bench for Innovative Teaching and learning" is an educational platform that leverages the combination of numerical simulation and physical manipulation to facilitate learning of complex phenomena and motivate users about wave optics in practical work. HOBIT operates in real time and is…

Ying-Nan Zhao; Jia-Cong Fu; Peng-Yu Zeng; Shi-Long Wei; Chang-Xu Lin; Kai Li; Shuang-Quan Zang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemical kinetics is a branch of physical chemistry that constitutes an essential part of undergraduate education. In general, a complex and expensive experimental apparatus is indispensable for observing the kinetics of a chemical process owing to the continuity of chemical reactions. Thus, intuitive visualization of the chemical kinetics using a…

Kamphorst, Floor; Vollebregt, M. J.; Savelsbergh, E. R.; van Joolingen, W. R. – Science & Education, 2023
Einstein's derivation of special relativity theory (SRT), based on hypothetical reasoning and thought experiments, is regarded as a prime example of physics theory development. In secondary education, the introduction of SRT could provide a great opportunity for students to engage in physics theorizing, but this opportunity is largely being missed…

A. Lynn Stephens – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
It is widely recognized that we need to prepare students to think with data. This study investigates student interactions with digital data graphs and seeks to identify what might prompt them to shift toward using their graphs as thinking tools in the authentic activity of doing science. Drawing from video screencast data of three small groups…

Martin Schwichow; Anastasios Zoupidis – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Floating and sinking (FS) is a key topic in science education, both at primary and secondary levels. The interpretation of FS phenomena, however, is challenging due to the difficulty of the scientific concepts and explanatory models involved (e.g., density, buoyancy), along with students' everyday experiences, which conflict with scientific…

Baysen, Engin; Baysen, Fatma – South African Journal of Education, 2022
Experimentation is widely accepted as being central to science education. However, anxiety about experimentation often prevents its use. While a considerable number of studies on anxiety related to laboratory experimentation have been conducted, studies on in-class experimentation is limited. In the research study reported on here we explored the…

Exploring Core Ideas of Procedural Understanding in Scientific Inquiry Using Educational Data Mining
Arnold, Julia C.; Mühling, Andreas; Kremer, Kerstin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Scientific thinking is an essential learning goal of science education and it can be fostered by inquiry learning. One important prerequisite for scientific thinking is procedural understanding. Procedural understanding is the knowledge about specific steps in scientific inquiry (e.g. formulating hypotheses, measuring dependent and…

Meagan Sundstrom; Rebeckah K. Fussell; Anna McLean Phillips; Mark Akubo; Scott E. Allen; David Hammer; Rachel E. Scherr; N. G. Holmes – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] Research on nontraditional laboratory (lab) activities in physics shows that students often expect to verify predetermined results, as takes place in traditional lab activities. This understanding of what is taking place, or…

Shannon L. W. Accettone; Cassandra DeFrancesco; Lori Van Belle; Joel Smith; Erin Giroux – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The ability of students to perform quantitative analysis is a fundamental aspect of analytical chemistry courses and laboratories. In this laboratory experiment, students quantitatively analyze both liquid and solid samples through the use of internal standard calibration and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Using a problem-based approach to selecting their…

Eaindra Yee; Murphi T. Williams; Ambika Bhagi-Damodaran – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Metals enable numerous physiological processes ranging from respiration to nitrogen fixation. However, the role of metals in biology and biocatalysis is not appreciated by the general public. This lack of knowledge around biological metals can lead to misinformation, especially regarding vaccines and health products. Here, we present a series of…

Koeper, Ingo; Shapter, Joe; North, Vanessa; Houston, Don – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2020
In science courses in general, but especially in first year chemistry classes, the amount of content that is delivered is often overwhelming and too complex for the student to easily cope with. Students not only have to gain knowledge in a variety of different fields, they also have to learn new laboratory skills and analytical techniques.…

Reeder, S.; Wilkie, K.; Kelly, T. J.; Boullard, J. S. – Physics Education, 2019
In this article, we outline a demonstration that is relatively simple to perform but whose results require a quite subtle interpretation of Faraday's Law. When a very small magnet is dropped through a coil it can tumble as it falls leading to 'spikes' in the measured emf signal. The experiment, and demonstration, can be used in an introductory…

Achuthan, Krishnashree; Raghavan, Dhananjay; Shankar, Balakrishnan; Francis, Saneesh P.; Kolil, Vysakh Kani – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2021
Access and personalized instruction required for laboratory education can be highly compromised due to regulatory constraints in times such as COVID-19 pandemic or resource shortages at other times. This directly impacts the student engagement and immersion that are necessary for conceptual and procedural understanding for scientific…
