Science process skills play an essential role in science education. The research assessing these skills in school science textbooks is limited. The aim of the current study was to examine the involvement of science process skills in the content of science school textbooks of the last two primary school grades in Greece. A specific analysis…

Lang, Vanessa; Eckert, Christine; Perels, Franziska; Kay, Christopher W. M.; Seibert, Johann – Education Sciences, 2021
Models are essential in science and therefore in scientific literacy. Therefore, pupils need to attain competency in the appropriate use of models. This so-called model--methodical competence distinguishes between model competence (the conceptual part) and modelling competence (the procedural part), wherefrom a definition follows a general…

Direct linkZhang, Lin; Cobern, William W. – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2021
We are writing in response to the Aditomo and Klieme article titled "Forms of inquiry based science instruction and their relations with learning outcomes: evidence from high and low-performing education systems," recently published in the "International Journal of Science Education." In this essay, we follow these authors and…

Sansom, Rebecca L.; Clinton-Lisell, Virginia; Fischer, Lane – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
General chemistry is a gateway course for most STEM majors, so student success is a priority for chemistry faculty. Providing quality information resources for students, including textbooks, is one way that instructors can support student learning. However, these resources can be prohibitively expensive for some students, causing them to opt out…

Duerden, Amanda; Moon, Nicole; Grubbs, G. S., II – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Few laboratory exercises exist that introduce undergraduate students to both the concepts and instrumentation used in rotational spectroscopy. Because of this gap in undergraduate laboratory training, a teaching laboratory for the pure rotational spectroscopy of benzonitrile has been developed and reported. Owing to benzonitrile's recent discovery…

Bush, Eliot C.; Adolph, Stephen C.; Donaldson-Matasci, Matina C.; Hur, Jae; Schulz, Danae – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2021
This paper describes an introductory biology course for undergraduates that heavily incorporates quantitative problem solving in activities and homework assignments. The course is broken up into a series of units, each organized around a motivating biological question or theme. Homework assignments address the theme or question, and typically…

For some professionally, vocationally, or technically oriented careers, curricula delivered in higher education establishments may focus on teaching material related to a single discipline. By contrast, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary teaching(MITT) results in improved affective and cognitive learning and critical…

Ling, Yizhou; Chen, Pengwen; Wang, Jingying; Chen, Kai; Ren, Hongyan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In this study, an innovative scientific modeling course on concentration cells is designed: First, the demonstrations revealed examples of three different concentration cells. Then, scientific models visualizing the process and principle of cell reactions at the level of microparticulates were introduced to students. Finally, three new…

DiLisi, Gregory A.; Chaney, Alison; Kane, Kenneth; Leskovec, Robert A. – Physics Teacher, 2021
Over the past several years, we have contributed articles to "TPT" that focus on a forensics-style reexamination of significant historical events. The purpose of these articles is to afford students the opportunity to apply basic principles of physics to unsolved mysteries and potentially settle the historical debate. We assembled the…

Dew, Matthew; Ford, Lewis; Nodurft, Dawson T.; Erukhimova, Tatiana; Perry, Jonathan – Physics Teacher, 2021
As a result of the spread of COVID-19 during spring 2020, many colleges and universities across the U.S., and beyond, were compelled to move entirely to remote, online instruction, or shut down. Due to the rapidity of this transition, instructors had to significantly--if not completely--change their instructional style on very short notice. Our…

Jain, Paras; Singh, Sneha; Arya, Aditya – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Mitochondrial beta-oxidation is one of the most common modes of fatty acids' oxidation in most organisms, particularly mammals. Biochemistry undergraduate curriculum often contains the description of the process, with emphasis on ATP calculations for various types of fatty acids. During our decade long teaching experience in biochemistry, we…

This study, which was reviewed through the Registered Report process, examined the initial efficacy of the Scientific Explorers program (Sci2) on second-grade students' science achievement. Sci2 is grounded in the growing body of empirical research on science instruction, embedding principles of explicit instruction within a guided inquiry-based…

Franco, Luiz Gustavo; Munford, Danusa – Research in Science Education, 2021
One of the challenges for analysing science classroom discourse is a better understanding of intercontextual relationships in the learning process. In this paper, we used orientations from ethnography in education to organise and propose an analytical metaphor called the hourglass approach. It involves three phases of analysis that correspond to…

Azam, Saiqa; Menon, Deppika – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2021
The purpose of this mixed-methods research was to investigate changes in preservice elementary teachers' science teaching beliefs and explain how these beliefs influence the way these teachers interpret their science teaching and learning experiences. Supported by the theoretical underpinnings of teacher beliefs and drawings as a tool to…
