Jeffrey Nordine; Marcus Kubsch; David Fortus; Joseph Krajcik; Knut Neumann – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
One reason for the widespread use of the energy concept across the sciences is that energy analysis can be used to interpret the behavior of systems even if one does not know the particular mechanisms that underlie the observed behavior. By providing an approach to interpreting unfamiliar phenomena, energy provides a lens on phenomena that can set…

Arnie Novianti Zulkarnain; Eka Cahya Prima; Nanang Winarno; Bevo Wahono – Journal of Science Learning, 2024
Students believed physics was one of the most challenging sciences in education, and their interest in learning physics was lacking. Therefore, this study aims to enhance students' understanding and creativity in the STEAM learning system on electricity by creating a project (Paper Circuit) using the students' creativity at the junior high school…

Ramón Tirado-Morueta; Yolanda Ceada-Garrido; Antonio J. Barragán; Juan M. Enrique; José M. Andujar – Educational Studies, 2024
Few studies provide conceptual frameworks that help teachers make decisions about the scaffolding they will offer their students in project-based learning (PBL) processes. To address this deficiency, an adaptation of the motivational development self-system model was used and a PBL experience involving high school students who had to create an…

Nagma Zerin – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
Project-Enhanced learning is an excellent way to facilitate student-centered learning along with traditional lecture-based learning. In this Class and Home problem, an example of Project-Enhanced learning is provided that can be used in the Mass and Energy Balances (MEB) course. The students solve this problem as part of a group while receiving…

Nazi Homayounnasab; Peter Adam Hoeher; Sandra Hansen – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2024
This paper deals with an integration of STEM education and project-based learning (PBL) by introducing a hybrid hardware/software-based learning platform covering eight learning units. PBL not only bridges the gap between theory and practice, but also focuses on improving students' soft skills, which is important as they prepare for further…

Fu-Hsing Tsai – SAGE Open, 2023
The cultivation of computational thinking and programing education have gained prominence in K-12 education worldwide. Primary school teachers should be proficient in visual programing and using microcontrollers to teach programing courses. To cope with these trends, a learning activity was developed and implemented in Taiwan's primary teacher…

Ying-Chih Chen; Michelle Jordan – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2024
Student Uncertainty as Pedagogical Resource (SUPeR) is a teaching approach that science teachers can use to promote student scientific literacy, practice, and learning. SUPeR helps students navigate scientific uncertainty to improve understanding of scientific concepts and phenomena. The SUPeR approach consists of four phases: (1) problematize a…

Rossiter, Kalyn M. – Geography Teacher, 2022
The field of geography especially lends itself to fieldwork, getting students out of the classrooms and into the real world. Furthermore, studies have shown that when traditional lecture style is replaced at least in part with approaches that incorporate active learning, students earn higher examination grades and have a greater chance of passing…

Eileen G. Merritt; Andrea E. Weinberg; Candace Lapan; Sara E. Rimm-Kaufman – Grantee Submission, 2024
Energy concepts are taught in many schools, but children rarely have an opportunity to grapple with energy problems and work on their own solutions. This study explores the impacts of Connect Science, a service-learning (SL) program developed to enhance elementary students' energy literacy in the United States. Program impacts were explored within…

McKibben, Jason D.; Murphy, Timothy H. – Journal of Agricultural Education, 2021
Researchers have reported that participation in agricultural education reinforces STEM concepts, often through project-based learning. The use of projects is common in agricultural education. However, the instructional importance of certain elements of these projects is not well understood. We conducted a quasi-experimental study to examine the…

Wu, Yufei; Cheng, Jiaming; Koszalka, Tiffany A. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2021
A call for educational reform motivated this school system to devise an enhanced version of STEM in their middle school. This case provides rich descriptions of how eighth grade middle school teachers, from multiple disciplines, enacted a STEAM team model that integrated Language Arts into STEM. These STEAM team teachers were systematically…
