Demirbag, Mehmet – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2021
This study was conducted to examine the structural relationships among pre-service science teachers' scientific epistemological beliefs, self-regulation skills, and their disposition towards participating in argumentation. For this purpose, structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied in the study in which 229 pre-service science teachers…

Tasar, Mehmet Fatih; Imer Cetin, Nagihan – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2021
This study aimed to investigate the impact of scaffolding prompt questions on learners' self-regulated learning about the Nature of Science (NOS) in a hypermedia environment. In this study, mixed methods research design was employed. Sixty-four pre-service science teachers (n=64) were randomly assigned to the experimental group (N:33, scaffolding…

Peffer, Melanie E.; Ramezani, Niloofar; Quigley, David; Royse, Emily; Bruce, Chloe – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Epistemological beliefs about science (EBAS) or beliefs about the nature of science knowledge, and how that knowledge is generated during inquiry, are an essential yet difficult to assess component of science literacy. Leveraging learning analytics to capture and analyze student practices in simulated or game-based authentic science activities is…

Ibáñez, María-Blanca; Di-Serio, Ángela; Villarán-Molina, Diego; Delgado-Kloos, Carlos – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2015
This paper reports empirical evidence on having students use AR-SaBEr, a simulation tool based on augmented reality (AR), to discover the basic principles of electricity through a series of experiments. AR-SaBEr was enhanced with knowledge-based support and inquiry-based scaffolding mechanisms, which proved useful for discovery learning in…

Lawanto, Oenardi; Stewardson, Gary – National Center for Engineering and Technology Education, 2009
The objective of this study was to evaluate grade 9-12 students' motivation while engaged in two different engineering design projects: marble-sorter and bridge designs. The motivation components measured in this study were focused on students' intrinsic (IGO) and extrinsic (EGO) goal orientations, task value (TV), self-efficacy for learning and…
