Yudi Kurniawan; Andi Suhandi; Achmad Samsudin; Nguyen Thi Thanh Xuan – Journal of Science Learning, 2024
This article provides a detailed analysis of the various methods used in physics classrooms to teach oscillation and its related concepts. We thoroughly searched reputable databases, including Scopus and Web of Science. We analyzed 50 articles published between 2018 and 2023 using content analysis techniques such as elimination, classification,…

Tamar Fuhrmann; Leah Rosenbaum; Aditi Wagh; Adelmo Eloy; Jacob Wolf; Paulo Blikstein; Michelle Wilkerson – Science Education, 2025
When learning about scientific phenomena, students are expected to "mechanistically" explain how underlying interactions produce the observable phenomenon and "conceptually" connect the observed phenomenon to canonical scientific knowledge. This paper investigates how the integration of the complementary processes of designing…

Welleford, Andrew S.; Weaver, Lauren M.; Platt, Kristen M. – HAPS Educator, 2021
Engagement of multiple learning modalities has been shown to promote learning. This study aimed to develop resources for anatomical sciences educators interested in adding additional teaching modalities into their repertoire. Three review sessions were created for the muscle anatomy unit of an undergraduate anatomy and physiology course, each…

Ceren Ester Karayel; Manuel Krug; Luisa Hoffmann; Canan Kanbur; Catherine Barth; Johannes Huwer – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the need for visionary innovations in chemical education. We recently deigned a new learning environment called "ZuKon 2030", which addresses sustainability from a chemical perspective while simultaneously introducing students to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the…

Zaccary Allen Patterson – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Conceptual approaches to contemporary physics topics pose many learning challenges. One factor influencing knowledge integration is a student's epistemological framing. Epistemic frames provide a context within which a particular situation is perceived, interpreted, and judged. The utility of an epistemic frame is context dependent, and the…

Zac Patterson; Lin Ding – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Conceptual approaches to contemporary physics topics pose many learning challenges. One factor influencing knowledge integration is a student's epistemic framing. Epistemic frames provide a context within which a particular situation is perceived, interpreted, and judged. The objective of this study is to explore secondary students' framings…

Mark J. Davis – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Infographics are part of daily life because of the rise of digital media and technology, as learners now encounter a barrage of images carefully designed to convey data and information through social media. But what happens in the classroom when young learners first encounter this expressive genre? This case study examined a unit of instruction on…

Kater?ina Trc?kova´; Hana Tkac?i´kova´; Roman Mars?a´lek – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The purpose of this article is to describe the possibilities of using worksheets in the teaching of lipids and proteins. The worksheet includes a concept map, suggestions for three safe experiments that can be performed with available household chemicals, and observation results. The worksheets were implemented into action research in two classes…

Oscar Eugenio Tamayo Alzate; Paula Andrea Herrera Flórez; Claudia Romero Villegas – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Understanding the role of metacognitive judgements in science learning can significantly contribute to the qualification of both teaching and learning processes. We present some of the existing relationships between two important theoretical categories in education: metacognitive judgements and cellular theory learning. The research was conducted…

Kristen L. W. Walton – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Views of obesity as a consequence of "lack of willpower" or other behavioral choices, rather than a complex array of biological and other factors, are quite common among undergraduate students. Many undergraduates in prenursing or biology programs have little exposure to the physiology and pathophysiology of obesity, including learning…

Firdatus Sukma Fitri Shiyamsyah; Y. Yuliani; Yuni Sri Rahayu – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
In the 21st century, Indonesian education must generate life skills for dealing with the era of society 5.0. Bioentrepreneurship skills are one of those needed to achieve the primary goal of society 5.0. However, teaching modules that combine entrepreneurship skills still need to be improved. This research aims to produce project-based learning…

Ke, Li; Schwarz, Christina V. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Teachers' instructional practices are critical for guiding students' engagement in scientific practices within the classroom knowledge building community. In this study, we seek to understand how teachers' instructional supports of epistemic aspects involved in scientific modeling may influence students' meaningful engagement in the practice. In…

McGill, Tara A. W.; Housman, Gail; Reiser, Brian J. – Science and Children, 2021
Using the practices in three-dimensional learning means that a classroom community of students working alongside the teacher identifies questions and debates how to make progress. Students should see each step of their work as addressing goals they have set. This article explores a strategy developed by researchers and teachers for supporting…

Perkins Coppola, Matthew – School Science and Mathematics, 2019
Research indicates there is a need for teachers to experience multiple mastery experiences with engineering teaching in order to improve teaching engineering self-efficacy. To prepare future K-5 teachers to teach the engineering design process, one science methods course integrated 2-day engineering mini-units into the class meeting and…

Amanda Peel; Sugat Dabholkar; Gabriella Anton; Mike Horn; Uri Wilensky – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: To better reflect the computational nature of STEM disciplines and deepen learning of science content computational thinking (CT) should be integrated in science curricula. Teachers have a critical role in supporting effective student learning with CT integrated curricula in classroom settings. Objective: Our team worked…
