Dolu, Gamze; Ürek, Handan; Sarioglan, Ayberk Bostan – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
The present study aims to investigate university students' conceptions of liquids with the help of the scientific story writing technique, which is one of the alternative assessment techniques. The study group comprised students studying science (n=50) and biology teaching departments (n=20) in Turkey. Thus, the study carries within two groups. In…

Chrysafiadi, Konstantina; Troussas, Christos; Virvou, Maria – International Journal of Learning Technology, 2022
This paper addresses the interesting issue of mobile-assisted language learning using novel techniques for further improving the adaptivity and personalisation to students. The domain model of the system includes English and French language concepts, and its user model holds information about students and their progress. It also embodies a…

Sevimli, Eyup; Delice, Ali – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
This study explored how the challenges encountered during integral sign determination process change after various learning processes. In this comparative investigation which is based on qualitative data, the students in the CAS group were subjected to technology enhanced teaching whereas the students in the traditional group were subjected to the…

Kelly, Resa M.; Akaygun, Sevil – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
This article summarizes an investigation into how Flash-based cartoon video tutorials featuring molecular visualizations affect students' mental models of acetic acid and hydrochloric acid solutions and how the acids respond when tested for electrical conductance. Variation theory served as the theoretical framework for examining how students…

Adesope, Olusola O.; Cavagnetto, Andy; Hunsu, Nathaniel J.; Anguiano, Carlos; Lloyd, Joshua – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2017
This study used a between-subjects experimental design to examine the effects of three different computer-based instructional strategies (concept map, refutation text, and expository scientific text) on science learning. Concept maps are node-link diagrams that show concepts as nodes and relationships among the concepts as labeled links.…

Kordaki, Maria; Papastergiou, Marina; Psomos, Panagiotis – Education and Information Technologies, 2016
The aim of this work was twofold. First, an empirical study was designed aimed at investigating the perceptions that entry-level non-computing majors--namely Physical Education and Sport Science (PESS) undergraduate students--hold about basic Computer Literacy (CL) issues. The participants were 90 first-year PESS students, and their perceptions…

Marson, Guilherme A.; Torres, Bayardo B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
This work presents a convenient framework for developing interactive chemical education software to facilitate the integration of macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic dimensions of chemical concepts--specifically, via the development of software for gel permeation chromatography. The instructional role of the software was evaluated in a study…

Shumate, Alice M.; Windsor, Aaron J. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2010
The increase in publications presenting molecular evolutionary analyses and the availability of comparative sequence data through resources such as NCBI's GenBank underscore the necessity of providing undergraduates with hands-on sequence analysis skills in an evolutionary context. This need is particularly acute given that students have been…

Sengupta, Pratim; Wilensky, Uri – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2009
Electricity is regarded as one of the most challenging topics for students of all ages. Several researchers have suggested that naive misconceptions about electricity stem from a deep incommensurability (Slotta and Chi 2006; Chi 2005) or incompatibility (Chi et al. 1994) between naive and expert knowledge structures. In this paper we argue that…

Saitta, E. K. H.; Bowdon, M. A.; Geiger, C. L. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2011
Technology was integrated into service-learning activities to create an interactive teaching method for undergraduate students at a large research institution. Chemistry students at the University of Central Florida partnered with high school students at Crooms Academy of Information Technology in interactive service learning projects. The…

Kerr, Sara C.; Walz, Kenneth A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
There is a misconception among undergraduate students that global warming is caused by holes in the ozone layer. In this study, we evaluated the presence of this and other misconceptions surrounding atmospheric chemistry that are responsible for the entanglement of the greenhouse effect and the ozone hole in students' conceptual frameworks. We…

Ferguson, N. H.; Chapman, S. R. – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 1993
Computer-assisted genetics instructor (CAGI) is a database program to help students and teachers identify conceptual weaknesses, provide interactive drill to master problem solving, and reduce teacher tutorial time. Results of a comparison of users and nonusers indicates that CAGI users averaged between 6 and 10 points higher on hour exams than…
