Direct linkMetcalf, Leah E.; Bernacki, Matthew L.; Bernacki, Lucas E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Discipline-based educational researchers and institutions that provide guidance on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics instruction have long documented the impact of active learning strategies on student learning and achievement, the lack of incorporation of active learning into undergraduate instruction, and the languishing rates of…

Puntambekar, Sadhana; Gnesdilow, Dana; Dornfeld Tissenbaum, Catherine; Narayanan, N. Hari; Rebello, N. Sanjay – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Research exploring students' learning from physical and virtual labs has suggested that on the whole, students learn science content just as well, if not better from virtual labs as they do from physical labs. However, the affordances of physical labs might support the learning of specific skills and competencies that are just as crucial for…

Boda, Phillip A.; Bathia, Shruti; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Integrating sophisticated graphical analysis skills as they learn science is essential for K-12 students and emphasized in current standards. In this study, we iteratively designed a Graphing Integration Inventory (GII) over a three-year period, while also supporting students to develop their capabilities to use graphs to learn science content in…

Mikeska, Jamie N.; Howell, Heather – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
In order to deepen students' understanding of natural phenomenon and how scientific knowledge is constructed, it is critical that science teachers learn how to engage students in productive scientific argumentation. Simulations for teachers are one possible solution to providing practice-based spaces where novices can approximate the work of…

Scalise, Kathleen; Clarke-Midura, Jody – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
Science education frameworks in the United States have moved strongly in recent years to incorporate more dimensions of learning, including measuring student use of scientific practices employed during scientific inquiry. For instance, the Next Generation Science Standards and related multidimensional frameworks adopted or adapted recently by more…

Chen, Juanjuan; Wang, Minhong; Grotzer, Tina A.; Dede, Chris – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
The use of external representations has a potential to facilitate inquiry learning, especially in hypothesis generation and scientific reasoning, which are typical difficulties encountered by students. This study proposes and investigates the effects of a three-dimensional thinking graph (3DTG) that allows learners to combine in a single image,…
