Maysi Hidayah Ramadhani; Prima Wahyu Titisari – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2019
The issues arise in performing laboratory hands-on activity are: the less frequency in its implementation, the lack of students' interest, the limited in time, and lack of preparation. By considering the importance of laboratory hands-on activity, it is necessary to examine the conditions of the hands-on activity in school whether the activity has…

Fadzil, Hidayah Mohd; Saat, Rohaida Mohd; Awang, Khalijah; Adli, Durriyyah Sharifah Hasan – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2019
Science education is facing an immense challenge due to students' lack of engagement with science education. This issue calls for a collaborative and integrative teaching strategy such as the Scientist-Teacher-Student Partnership (STSP). This research employed a qualitative research methodology supported by quantitative data, to explore students'…

Carscadden, Kelly A.; McDermott, Molly T; Turbek, Sheela P.; Tittes, Silas B.; Martin, Andrew P. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2019
We describe a hands-on, collaborative activity designed to illustrate general properties of evolution, provide practice for quantitative skills, promote creativity and collaboration, and enable student self-assessment of learning. During the activity, teams construct bridges using common office supplies. The best-performing bridge becomes the…

Labouta, Hagar Ibrahim; Kenny, Natasha A.; Li, Rui; Anikovskiy, Max; Reid, Leslie; Cramb, David Thomas – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
Research on understanding the full extent that an authentic science research experience engages students in how scientists think and act is sparse. 'Learning-science-by-doing-science' (LSDS) is an emerging self-guided process-learning model in postsecondary science education. It offers authentic science research opportunities that drive students…
