Deepika Menon; Diana S. Cheng; Rosetta W. Ngugi – Journal for STEM Education Research, 2024
Reform efforts in K-12 science education have been gaining pace ever since the introduction of the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS). The new vision calls for reconsidering teacher preparation programs to prepare future teachers who are confident and competent in delivering NGSS-based instruction. This study investigated the…

Olufade, Ayo Elijah – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The problem addressed in this study was high school science teachers' lack of understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and clarity for the integration of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) approaches to align standards in STEM with high school science education. The purpose of this qualitative case study was…

Mumba, Frackson; Rutt, Alexis; Chabalengula, Vivien Mweene – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
The current US science education reforms call for integrating engineering design in science instruction requires teachers to develop and teach engineering design-integrated science (EDIS) lessons. However, very few teachers have received training in engineering and how to integrate engineering design into science lessons. In response to this…

Wonki Lee; Nathan Mentzer; Andrew Jackson; Scott Bartholomew; Amiah Clevenger – Design and Technology Education, 2024
This research investigates students' argumentation quality in engineering design thinking. We implemented Learning by Evaluating (LbE) using Adaptive Comparative Judgment (ACJ), where students assess pairs of items to determine the superior one. In ACJ, students provided rationales for their critiques, explaining their selections. Fifteen students…

Sarasola, Ane; Rojas, Jose Félix; Okariz, Ana – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2015
In this work, a specific implementation of a so-called experimental or open-ended laboratory is proposed and evaluated. Keeping in mind the scheduling limitations imposed by the context, first-year engineering physics laboratory practices have been revised in order to facilitate acquisition of the skills that are required in the experimental work.…

Senra, Michael; Fogler, H. Scott – Chemical Engineering Education, 2014
In their collegiate studies, students are given a wide range of concepts, theories, and equations to assist them in their future endeavors. However, students have not been sufficiently exposed to practical critical thinking methodologies that will benefit them as they encounter open-ended problems. A course developed at the University of Michigan…

Faraco, G.; Gabriele, L. – Computers & Education, 2007
Simulations make it possible to explore physical and biological phenomena, where conducting the real experiment is impracticable or difficult. The implementation of a software program describing and simulating a given physical situation encourages the understanding of a phenomenon itself. Fifty-nine students, enrolled at the Mathematical Methods…

Woods, Donald R. – Chemical Engineering Education (CEE), 1998
Students' needs and research on learning should inform teaching practices. Makes suggestions for improving instruction such as using students as ombudspersons to provide feedback on class concerns, focusing on process skills, and incorporating problem-based learning into the curriculum. Also includes examples of successful programs and summaries…

Suits, Jerry P. – School Science and Mathematics, 2004
A laboratory practical examination was used to compare the investigative skills developed in two different types of general-chemistry laboratory courses. Science and engineering majors (SEM) in the control group used a traditional verification approach (SEM-Ctrl), whereas those in the treatment group learned from an innovative, inquiry-based…

Nirmalakhandan, N. – Computers & Education, 2007
Recent research studies have reported on how novices and experts differ in storing, organizing, and retrieving subject matter knowledge and on how they apply their knowledge to solve new problems. These findings have been integrated and implemented in a computer environment to help novices improve their problem-solving skills. An outline of this…
