Marcos Vinícius Ramos Afonso; Rodrigo Braga Lopes; Eric Francelino Andrade; Luciano José Pereira – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Endocrine physiology is a complex subject for students. Game-based learning (GBL) and case-based learning (CBL) are active methodologies that are widely used because of their potential for motivation and greater proximity to the reality of modern students. We evaluated the effectiveness of GBL and CBL among veterinary medicine students compared…

Ogochukwu Onyiri – HAPS Educator, 2024
In the United States, there is a demand for registered nurses. To be admitted into the nursing program, students need to complete prerequisite courses such as human anatomy and physiology. Many students find human anatomy and physiology challenging due to the nature of the content. Poor performance in human anatomy and physiology can preclude a…

Turk, Judith K. – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
Literature circles are student-led, small-group discussions that promote active learning and engagement with literary texts. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of literature circles on student engagement and learning outcomes in a pedology course. For various reading assignments throughout the semester, students either…

Xu, Yangting; Chen, Chen; Ji, Ming; Xiang, Yang; Feng, Dandan; Luo, Ziqiang – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The online flipped classroom (OFC) has emerged as a new teaching method in universities worldwide, which combines asynchronous and synchronous online learning. OFC differs from the traditional flipped classroom as it does not involve face-to-face interaction between teachers and students. Instead, the class meeting is conducted online, and it is…

Shu-Fen Lin; Wan-Chin Shie – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Teachers lack effective curriculum-based instruments to assess their students' scientific competence that would provide information for modifying their inquiry instruction. The main purpose of this study was to develop and validate a Curriculum-Based Scientific Competence (CBSC) test to assess students' scientific competence in a 1-semester Grade…

Yue Liu; Yuxuan Lu; Shixiu Ren; Danhui Zhang – Research in Science Education, 2024
Web-based inquiry learning provides opportunities for students to take responsibility to regulate their learning. However, due to a lack of science inquiry-specific self-regulated learning (SRL) frameworks, there is insufficient understanding of SRL processes in inquiry-based science learning. This study aims to explore students' SRL patterns by…

Murni, Hutdia Putri; Azhar, Minda; Ellizar, Ellizar; Nizar, Umar Kalmar; Guspatni, Guspatni – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
Previous studies showed that structured inquiry-based learning is suitable for novice learners, chemical multiple representations facilitate meaningful learning, and modules are organized and complete learning materials for students. Modules designed with a structured inquiry-based model and completed with chemical multiple representations could…

Szalay, Luca; Tóth, Zoltán; Borbás, Réka; Füzesi, István – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
The results of an earlier four-year longitudinal research study on the development of experimental design skills led to the conclusion that 12-13 year old students probably need more help to design experiments than had been offered to them in that project. This paper reports the findings of the first year of a further four-year empirical research…

Gil Llinás, Julia; Tobaja Márquez, Luis Manuel – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2023
This paper describes an experience based on the use of an active method in which students of a basic physics course prepare multiple choice questions (MCQs) to prepare for exams in the subject. The objective of the research was to provide the students with a method that would enhance their desire to learn physics, and consequently lead to an…
