Ming Chi; Changlong Zheng; Peng He – Science & Education, 2024
Chemical thinking has been widely recognized as a core competence for supporting students' problem solving in chemistry education. Disciplinary essential questions and perspectives are two critical aspects of chemical thinking. This study connects essential questions with such perspectives to develop a new framework for restructuring chemical…

Öberg, Gunilla; Campbell, Alice; Fox, Joanne; Graves, Marcia; Ivanochko, Tara; Matsuchi, Linda; Mouat, Isobel; Welsh, Ashley – Science & Education, 2022
The widespread misperception of science as a deliverer of irrefutable facts, rather than a deliberative process, is undermining public trust in science. Science education therefore needs to better support students' understanding of the central role that disputes play in the scientific process. Successfully incorporating scientific disputes into…

Jessica D. Young; Betül Demirdögen; Christopher F. Bauer; Scott E. Lewis – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
Peer-led team learning is a socially mediated pedagogy where trained peer leaders, students who have completed a course, return to lead students in groups within a targeted course. The effect of peer-led team learning to improve student success in chemistry has been extensively documented but it is unclear if it is just as effective at…

Qing Guo; Yuqing Chen; Cuilan Qiao; Yunwei Yu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Science data literacy (SDL) is an important literacy for college students in STEM majors to possess. However, the current understanding of SDL is incomplete and lacks effective cultivation strategies. This study integrates the core ideas of science literacy (SL) and data literacy (DL), while considering the characteristics of science data, and…

Solé-Llussà, A.; Aguilar, D.; Ibáñez, M. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: Scientific inquiry is a widely accepted methodology to promote science process skills. In inquiry activities, students develop their understanding by addressing questions, performing scientific research and interpreting results derived from their research. Developing these science skills to perform scientific inquiries is considered a…

This study examined pre-service primary teachers' (PPTs) initial NOSI conceptions and their evolution after the immersion in a specific teaching module focused on inquiry and NOSI. The participants were 40 PPTs attending a science education course during a semester. The study consisted of a pre-test/post-test design approach framed qualitative…

Esther Kataate Namakula; Valarie L. Akerson – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2024
The study explored the impact of peer critiquing on preservice teachers' understanding of the nature of science, scientific inquiry, and argumentation in an undergraduate science content course. The aim was to investigate innovative teaching strategies that enhance preservice teachers' comprehension of these key aspects. This study showcased…

Karch, Jessica M.; Sevian, Hannah – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Productive problem solving, concept construction, and sense making occur through the core process of abstraction. Although the capacity for domain-general abstraction is developed at a young age, the role of abstraction in increasingly complex and disciplinary environments, such as those encountered in undergraduate STEM education, is not well…

The discovery of new knowledge is inseparable from the process of determining whether that applies science process skills (SPS). Science process skills are essential for students to develop science. This study aimed to determine the effect of the GIReSiMCo (Guided Inquiry, Reading, Sharing, Mind Mapping, and Communication) learning model as a new…

Obaid, Teeba; Nesbit, John C.; Mahmoody Ghaidary, Ahmad; Jain, Misha; Hajian, Shiva – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Understanding scientific phenomena requires learners to construct mental models of causal systems. Simulation-based discovery learning offers learners the opportunity to construct mental models and test them against the behavior of a simulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate sequential patterns of learner actions and utterances…
