Wong, Michael; Al-Arnawoot, Ahmed; Hass, Katrina – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2022
In undergraduate science education, emphasis is often placed on teaching subject matter rather than science process skills (e.g., critical thinking, problem solving). Although important to scientific training, these skills are often not taught because they are challenging to teach. We therefore present a case-scenario activity that aims to…

Jones, Lindsey; Chilton, Helen; Theakston, Anna – Deafness & Education International, 2023
The study sought to determine the effects of a pilot home-based science intervention on deaf and typically hearing children's conceptual understanding of science and their abilities to reason about and communicate their understanding (scientific enquiry skills). Data show that by age 5 years a science attainment gap exists between deaf children…

Dickler, Rachel; Gobert, Janice; Sao Pedro, Michael – Grantee Submission, 2021
Educational technologies, such as teacher dashboards, are being developed to support teachers' instruction and students learning. Specifically, dashboards support teachers in providing the just-in-time instruction needed by students in complex contexts such as science inquiry. In this study, we used the Inq-Blotterteacher-alerting dashboard to…

Liu, Chen-Chung; Wen, Cai-Ting; Chang, Hsin-Yi; Chang, Ming-Hua; Lai, Po-Han; Fan Chiang, Shih-Hsun; Yang, Chih-Wei; Hwang, Fu-Kwun – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
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…

Luke A. Wilczek; Mari´a del Carmen Guerrero Marti´nez; Keerthi B. Sreenivasan; Jesse B. Morin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Large introductory STEM courses have a reputation as "weed out" classes. These classes and their laboratory components are more often viewed by students as hurdles to overcome than valuable learning experiences relevant to their future careers. This perception especially impacts students who have a lower science identity and…

Cheng, Mengmeng; Su, Chien-Yuan; Kinshuk – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Integrating science learning with game experience and physical manipulatives not only overcomes the rigidity of traditional teaching, but also makes the learning experience pleasant for students and improves their science inquiry ability. Today, with the popularization of mobile devices and technology, both the value and feasibility of gamified…

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…
