Michael Wong; Shahad Al-Saqqar; Jennifer Nash; Ali Al-Humuzi; Mark Dottori; Margaret Secord – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2024
Literature suggests post-secondary students feel disengaged and socially isolated while learning virtually, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we explored whether a sense of belonging is differentially achieved in an inquiry-based course between two different delivery formats: virtual and blended (combination of virtual and in-person).…

Craig D. Campbell; Thomas C. Birkett; Malcolm I. Stewart – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
By adapting a well-established expository style practical on the topic of chemoselectivity, we present our successful approach to introducing elements of guided inquiry and decision-making to novice undergraduate chemists. Using nitroacetophenone as the polyfunctional substrate, students investigate the effect of using two different classes of…

Emre Savas; Aysel Kocakulah – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2025
This study aims to investigate the effect of the teaching model developed for hot conceptual change on middle school 7th-grade students' understanding of the Nature of Science (NOS) aspects. In this qualitative and exploratory study, activities were carried out with 24 students of two classes in a village school in the South Marmara region using a…

Trew, Alison J.; Early, Craig; Ellis, Rebecca; Nash, Julia; Pemberton, Katharine; Tyler, Paul; Skerry, Caroline; Bird, Lucy; Shallcross, Naomi K. R.; Harrison, Timothy G.; Shallcross, Dudley E. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Topics associated with the biological sciences form a significant fraction of the curriculum in science at primary school level in the U.K. In this methodology paper we demonstrate how a wide range of research articles associated with the biological sciences can be disseminated to a primary school audience and how children can carry out…

Phi Nguyen; Charles Munter – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2024
Teacher educators globally have argued that developing coherent programs can combat the fragmentation that often characterizes teacher education and better support teacher learning. Yet, there is little research on coherence in mathematics teacher education, especially from the perspectives of preservice teachers. To that end, in this article, we…

Pia M. So¨rensen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The interdisciplinary nature of food makes it an effective teaching vehicle in many fields. This article shows specifically how flavor and food fermentation, two topics not usually featured in the undergraduate STEM curriculum, can inspire a powerful interdisciplinary learning experience. Importantly, because of their accessible nature and…

Sheba D. Mani; Pathiyil Ravi Shankar; Thulasimani Munohsamy – Learning: Research and Practice, 2024
This study focuses on healthcare students' perception of an inquiry-based approach to pandemics for an online history of medicine course. The course was designed using Bateman's Humanities Model of Inquiry. First-year undergraduate students (n = 111) responded to a questionnaire that included 19 items using a Likert scale and open-ended questions…

Lakia M. Scott; Yongpeng Zhu; Suzanne M. Nesmith; Yuyan Jiao; Evan Ditmore – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2024
This case study explores the integration of children's literature in science education, with a focus on engaging preservice teachers in a science methods course to select, locate, design, and implement the integration of children's literature in their instructional practices. Sixty-four elementary preservice teachers in an initial teacher…

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.…

Habre, Samer S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In spring 2018, an inquiry-oriented differential equations course was offered at the Lebanese American University. This paper highlights students' comprehension of some qualitative aspects of differential equations, namely their understanding of the equations and their solutions. It also explores the students' success in moving between the…

Radmehr, Farzad; Tohidinasab, Khaled; Tavakoli, Mostafa – PRIMUS, 2023
Traditional lecturing is the dominant method of teaching mathematics in undergraduate mathematical courses in many countries, whereas active student-centered approaches such as inquiry-based learning have been shown in some instances to be more effective. Most teaching resources (inquiry-based tasks) available at the tertiary level are related to…

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…
