Academic Impact of Classroom and Family Science on Preschool and Kindergarten-Aged Children: A Pilot Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Joan N. Kaderavek; Peter Paprzycki; Charlene M. Czerniak; Susanna Hapgood; Christopher M. Wojciechowski; Scott Molitor; Jeanna Heuring; Grant Wilson – Grantee Submission, 2025
This study examined the effects of science and engineering (S & E) inquiry on preschool and kindergarten children's academic outcomes using a randomized control-group design. Participants were divided into three groups: a classroom-only group (C-only) receiving NGSS-aligned S & E inquiry; a classroom plus family engagement group (C + F)…

Srisawasdi, Niwat; Panjaburee, Patcharin – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2019
Many studies have used the potential of computer games to promote students' attitudes toward learning and increase their learning performance. A few studies have transformed scientific content into computer games or developed games with scientific content. In this paper, we employed students' common misconceptions of chemistry regarding the…

Donnelly, Dermot F.; Linn, Marcia C.; Ludvigsen, Sten – Review of Educational Research, 2014
The National Science Foundation-sponsored report "Fostering Learning in the Networked World" called for "a common, open platform to support communities of developers and learners in ways that enable both to take advantage of advances in the learning sciences." We review research on science inquiry learning environments (ILEs)…

Metcalf, Shari J.; Kamarainen, Amy M.; Grotzer, Tina; Dede, Chris – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2013
Recent research with Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) in education has shown that these platforms can be effective and engaging for students; however, educators and administrators have practical concerns about the adoption of MUVE-based curricula. This study looks at implementations of EcoMUVE, a MUVE-based curriculum designed to support…

Designing a Web-Based Science Learning Environment for Model-Based Collaborative Inquiry
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sun, Daner; Looi, Chee-Kit – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
The paper traces a research process in the design and development of a science learning environment called WiMVT (web-based inquirer with modeling and visualization technology). The WiMVT system is designed to help secondary school students build a sophisticated understanding of scientific conceptions, and the science inquiry process, as well as…
