Kruse, Jerrid; Menke, Lucas; Solem, Libby – School Science and Mathematics, 2022
Inquiry-based lab experiences have been shown to be more effective than traditional lab experiences. Students' perceptions of the types of thinking required in science lab settings have implications for interest and persistence. This study compares students' perceptions about the thinking required in traditional and inquiry laboratory settings.…

Comparing Undergraduate Nature of Science Views in Traditional versus Inquiry-Taught Science Courses
Alex T. St. Louis; Hayat Hokayem – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
This qualitative study compares the views about nature of science (NOS) between students enrolled in a traditional lecture and laboratory course and students in an inquiry-based class to the view of the scientists who taught the course. We administered the Views of Nature of Science Form C (VNOS-C) to identify students' views after partaking in…

Tim Bauermeister; Nina Janßen; John-Oliver Engler – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Digital learning environments such as virtual laboratories have been proposed to augment or even replace conventional forms of teaching in recent years. While there is some evidence on comparable learning outcomes between real and virtual labs, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of virtual labs as compared to conventional face-to-face…

Leyva-Figueroa, Eugenio; Orozco-Valdivia, Magdiel; Gonzalez-Fraga, Jose; Bardullas, Ulises – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The analysis of spontaneous tail coiling (STC) in zebrafish embryos is a functional parameter that allows the study of motor development. It has recently gained relevance as a biomarker to assess the neurotoxicity of environmental substances. Its practicability in the laboratory makes it an excellent pedagogical tool for promoting students'…

Robert N. Wilson; Parker J. Holman; Martin Dragan; Rebecca E. K. MacPherson; Shawn M. Beaudette – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Supplemental instruction (SI) confers student success, as represented by grades, knowledge retention, and student engagement. However, studies often report professional, not undergraduate, program findings. To measure these effects, students studying human anatomy at a university in Ontario, Canada, attended structured (peer-assisted) or…

Mojica, Elmer-Rico E.; Upmacis, Rita K. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The unforeseen COVID-19 pandemic forced educational institutions to shift to a remote or distance-learning mode. As a result, classes were offered online, and this shift in teaching modality presented great challenges, especially in teaching laboratory courses. While several options are available, we evaluated the use of (i) videos of lab…

Yanmin Zhang; Chunyang Li; Chan Zhou – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
While light microscopy (LM) and virtual microscopy (VM) are valuable pedagogical approaches in histology education, studies comparing their effectiveness have primarily emanated from North America. This research aimed to compare the performance, satisfaction, and perception of Chinese undergraduate dental students enrolled in a histology…

Glenn Arthur Garcia; Sergio M. Abit Jr.; Jason Warren – NACTA Journal, 2024
Laboratory classes effectively enhance student understanding and appreciation of course concepts. With course delivery suddenly shifted into the online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic, four laboratory exercises in each of two introductory-level soil science courses were converted into virtual sessions delivered in the form of…

Juan M. Sanchez – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Descriptive statistics involves summarizing and organizing data so that they can be easily understood. Even though these are basic and simple concepts, many applied science students have misconceptions about their use in applied experiments in the laboratory. Students usually receive limited or no training in how to understand the meaning of the…

Kirmizigül, Asli Saylan; Kizilay, Esra; Hamalosmanoglu, Mustafa – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2021
The study aims to examine the opinions of pre-service classroom teachers about science laboratories. The research was conducted with 66 third-year students (50 female, 16 male) studying in the classroom teaching undergraduate program of a university in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. In selecting the participants, taking the…

Matheus Almeida Bauer Zytkuewisz; Denis Ricardo Martins de Godoi; Amadeu Moura Bego – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This study's general theme revolves around practical work in chemical education, and its scope is the employment of a novel inquiry strategy combined with a new openness level. We investigate how the controlled positive error, a new device for inquiry activities developed by us, affects undergraduate students' experience of an experiment and…

Duerden, Amanda; Moon, Nicole; Grubbs, G. S., II – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Few laboratory exercises exist that introduce undergraduate students to both the concepts and instrumentation used in rotational spectroscopy. Because of this gap in undergraduate laboratory training, a teaching laboratory for the pure rotational spectroscopy of benzonitrile has been developed and reported. Owing to benzonitrile's recent discovery…

Gao, Ruomei; Lloyd, Judith; Emenike, Bright U.; Quarless, Duncan; Kim, Youngjoo; Emenike, Mary E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Engaging students in scientific practices has become an important pedagogical component in STEM education, although its implementation in laboratories is still emerging. This paper uses three types of guiding questions to facilitate scientific practices in introductory and analytical chemistry laboratories. What makes our instructional model…

Erdogan, Sukran; Bozkurt, Ersin – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2022
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of teaching through a virtual laboratory prepared using simulations teaching materials and that are based on constructivist thought about geometrical optics upon the students' academic success and their attitudes towards physics. Quasi-experimental pretest and posttest control groups was used…
