Turan Güntepe, Ebru; Keles, Esra – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2023
This study aims to design an educational process for teaching scientific concepts during the preschool period based on the instructional design model of Seels and Glasgow and to evaluate its effectiveness. For this purpose, a material set incorporating a teacher's manual and interactive holographic materials was developed. The teacher's manual…

Amy Adair; Ellie Segan; Janice Gobert; Michael Sao Pedro – Grantee Submission, 2023
Developing models and using mathematics are two key practices in internationally recognized science education standards, such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). However, students often struggle with these two intersecting practices, particularly when developing mathematical models about scientific phenomena. Formative…

Virtual labs provide space for students to iteratively test, observe, and revise their understanding so as to improve their scientific literacy. However, one of the challenges that students face is that they need to think and act like scientists so as to be sensitively alert to methodological flaws and various sources of error. This study thus…

McCormick, Sierra; Powers, Jacklyn; Davenport, Jodi; Yaron, David – Grantee Submission, 2021
In today's science classrooms, with the integration of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), teachers are encouraged to guide instruction through real-world phenomena and promote critical thinking through inquiry-based learning that helps students learn the reasoning and practical skills of scientists, rather than just rote memorization of…

Sari, Ugur; Duygu, Esra; Sen, Ömer Faruk; Kirindi, Talip – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2020
In this study, the effects of STEM education in the simulation-based inquiry learning (SBIL) environment on the students' scientific process skills and STEM awareness were investigated. In addition, the use of simulations in STEM education was discussed by evaluating students' views on activities. Study group of the research consists of 39…

Lansverk, Allison L.; Lichti, Deborah A.; Blinka, Kate W.; Callis-Duehl, Kristine L. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2020
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are increasing being taught to undergraduates across institutions and topics and offer an opportunity for more students to participate in authentic research. There are many types of "CUREs" with varying degrees of including all five elements identified by Auchincloss et al. (2014)…

Kapici, Hasan Ozgur; Akcay, Hakan; Cakir, Hakki – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Inquiry-based learning can be an effective approach when students are provided with sufficient guidance. However, there is an ongoing debate among practitioners about the nature, type, and level of such guidance. This study investigated the effects on middle school students' (N = 116) conceptual knowledge and inquiry skills acquisition of…

Yuliati, Lia; Riantoni, Cycin; Mufti, Nandang – International Journal of Instruction, 2018
The purpose of this research was to explore students' problem-solving skills through inquiry-based learning with PhET simulation, focussed on direct current electricity matter. The research used a mixed method approach with an embedded experimental model with 34 prospective physics teacher at the State University of Jambi, Indonesia. The data was…

Cayvaz, Aysegul; Akcay, Hakan; Kapici, Hasan Ozgur – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2020
Simulations, which is a type of educational technology has started to be used widely in classes. Contradictive results show that there is no certain conclusion about the effects of them on students' domain knowledge, inquiry skills and attitudes towards science. The goal of the study is to compare the impacts of simulation-based and textbook-based…

Tavares, Rita; Marques Vieira, Rui; Pedro, Luís – Education Sciences, 2021
This paper reports research work related to a wider study, aimed at developing a mobile app for Science Education in primary-school. Several studies reveal that Science Education can be improved by using technology, namely educational software. However, to promote a structured use of technology, innovative learning approaches must be designed for…

Wang, Hong-Syuan; Chen, Sufen; Yen, Miao-Hsuan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of metacognitive scaffolding in different inquiry tasks related to optics. Two high school classes participated in this study. One class, the treatment group (n = 33), which integrated metacognitive prompts into the simulation-based inquiry, was compared to the other class, the control group (n = 34),…

Hajian, Shiva; Obaid, Teeba; Jain, Misha; Nesbit, John – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2019
Instructional support is fundamental to successful implementation of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in various educational settings. Although research indicates that instructional support can lead to learning gain and achievement of inquiry strategies, it does not explain why the same level of guidance for students with relatively the same level of…

Dickes, Amanda C.; Kamarainen, Amy; Metcalf, Shari J.; Gün-Yildiz, Semiha; Brennan, Karen; Grotzer, Tina; Dede, Chris – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Research in the field of technology-enhanced learning has argued for a broader scope of technology-supported learning environments to include the design of activity systems which position students as active thinkers by reorganizing learning with technology around the practices of scholarly communities. In the context of elementary ecosystems…

Abdusselam, Mustafa Serkan; Kilis, Selcan; Sahin Çakir, Çigdem; Abdusselam, Zennure – Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, 2018
As a fundamental strategy for all science curriculum, inquiry is of prime importance. In order to facilitate inquiry during science education in middle school, 5E learning model was applied in this study. Following 5E learning model during a lesson, students can engage in a topic after being served to mitigate cognitive disequilibrium or familiar…
