Minchul Kim; Sangwoo Ha – Science & Education, 2024
Although Ohm's law contains various possibilities in teaching and learning scientific inquiry, it is rare for students to experience an authentic inquiry. Thus, we designed an open-ended in-depth inquiry about Ohm's law and made students conduct it. To do this, we developed a laboratory activity for students following a standard method of Ohm's…

Wilcox, Jesse; Reiter, Reade; Rose, Abby; Alberts, Alex; Murano, Katie – Science and Children, 2022
Although the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS) have three dimensions, the crosscutting concepts are often the forgotten dimension. One reason teachers may not emphasize the crosscutting concepts might be because they are broad, domain-general constructs that can be difficult to conceptualize in a meaningful way. Yet, when taught…

Wanda M. Valsecchi; Jose M. Delfino; Javier Santos; Santiago E. Faraj – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
When teaching STEM courses, it is important to introduce state-of-the-art techniques. Students need to learn how to conduct experiments, analyse data and choose the most effective approaches to address meaningful situations. Here we present the assessment of the implementation of a structured inquiry-based activity aimed at teaching students about…

Al Mamun, Md Abdullah; Lawrie, Gwendolyn – Smart Learning Environments, 2023
Technological innovations and changing learning environments are influencing student engagement more than ever before. These changing learning environments are affecting the constructs of student behavioural engagement in the online environment and require scrutiny to determine how to facilitate better student learning outcomes. Specifically,…

Emery, Patrick; Yezierski, Ellen J.; Page, Richard C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Visualizations are useful tools for helping students to understand chemistry concepts at the particulate level. A classroom activity was developed based on learning theory and evidence-based practices, combining protein visualization with thermodynamic parameters from differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) data analysis. Coding of student…

Pun, Jack K. H.; Cheung, Kason Ka Ching – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Constructing knowledge through collaborative practical work is a complex process and involves the use of multiple modalities by group members. In practical work sessions, students often manipulate visual objects or textual materials but do not develop their scientific ideas. Purpose: This study illustrates (a) the challenges that…

Minshall, Brianna L.; Yezierski, Ellen J. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
For six semesters, activities have been incorporated into first year general chemistry courses in an effort to build student conceptual chemistry knowledge. The activities follow a learning cycle pedagogy (similar to Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning or POGIL activities) and consist of guiding questions involving animations, models,…
