Paul Bazelais; Gurinder Binner; Tenzin Doleck – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
As an important tool for STEM education, online labs have gained significant research attention. However, our understanding of online labs is limited by the inattention to the factors that contribute to the acceptance of online labs. This study adopts the UTAUT model to investigate the salient determinants of use of online labs. We test the…

Pacala, Frank Angelo A. – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2019
The effect of PowerPoint Presentation-based (PPPb) quiz to the students' scores has been rarely studied. It is the intention of this research to understand the effect of PPPb quiz to students score in wave motion and the students' experiences under such a strategy. This research used a mixed approach: quasi-experimental to learn if scores gain was…

Leung, Promail K. Y.; Cheng, Maurice M. W. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2021
Students nowadays grow up with electronic devices and are adept at navigating the virtual world. Practical activities may be more of a novelty for them than simulations. Using the topic of electric circuits as a context, we examined the ways in which Grade 11 students perceived and learned from practical work and simulations, respectively. In this…

Leftwich, Kendal M.; Ioup, Juliette W.; Seab, C. Gregory – Physics Teacher, 2019
We report here on an effort to involve high school physics students in research on impacts of oil spills on marine mammals at a local university. We believe that the effort described here might be useful to others who would like to involve physics students in research, especially work of an interdisciplinary nature. The students learn to work…

Zhai, Xiaoming; Shi, Lehong – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
This study investigated how students' and teachers' pedagogical roles in mobile learning moderated the relationship between high school students' perceived usefulness of mobile technology and the actual use frequency, as well as how students' perceived usefulness impacted their physics learning achievement. We examined 803 high school freshmen who…

Rowe, Penny M.; Fortmann, Lea; Guasco, Timothy L.; Wright, Aedin; Ryken, Amy; Sevier, Emma; Stokes, Grace; Mifflin, Amanda; Wade, Rachel; Cheng, Haiyan; Pfalzgraff, William; Beaudoin, Justin; Rajbhandari, Isha; Fox-Dobbs, Kena; Neshyba, Steven – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
Polar research plays a vital role in developing our understanding of Earth's climate system. It is intrinsically interdisciplinary, lending itself to integration into existing undergraduate courses. Here we explore introducing undergraduates to polar research through computational guided inquiry (CGI) modules taught in a variety of courses and…

Kay, Alison E.; Hardy, Judy; Galloway, Ross K. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
PeerWise is an online application where students are encouraged to generate a bank of multiple choice questions for their classmates to answer. After answering a question, students can provide feedback to the question author about the quality of the question and the question author can respond to this. Student use of, and attitudes to, this online…

Musik, Panjit – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2017
The development of computer-based experiment set has become necessary in teaching physics in schools so that students can learn from their real experiences. The purpose of this study is to create and to develop the computer-based experiment set on simple harmonic motion of mass on springs for teaching and learning physics. The average period of…

Balta, Nuri; Tzafilkou, Katerina – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
The aim of this study was to understand how students' attitudes were connected to the web based software Socrative. The study was conducted with 50 students taking first year physics courses in a university. The survey dimensions were based on four previous research works and the survey instrument was extended to better reflect the current study…

Kersting, Magdalena; Henriksen, Ellen Karoline; Bøe, Maria Vetleseter; Angell, Carl – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
Because of its abstract nature, Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity is rarely present in school physics curricula. Although the educational community has started to investigate ways of bringing general relativity to classrooms, field-tested educational material is rare. Employing the model of educational reconstruction, we present a…

Islim, Omer Faruk; Gurel Koybasi, Nergis A.; Cagiltay, Kursat – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2016
Open Educational Resources (OER) and OpenCourseWare (OCW) target barriers of education and learning by sharing knowledge for free to benefit self-learners, educators, and students. This study aims to investigate the use of OER both as a supplementary resource for a traditional course and as a resource for self-learners. First, the attitudes and…

Chen, Sufen; Chang, Wen-Hua; Lai, Chih-Hung; Tsai, Cheng-Yue – Science Education, 2014
The purpose of this project was to investigate the effects of virtual versus physical manipulation using a simulation-based laboratory activity (SBL) and a microcomputer-based laboratory activity (MBL). Both the SBL and the MBL used computers to collect, graph, and analyze data. A major difference was that the MBL allowed the students to…
