Gjerde, Vegard; Holst, Bodil; Kolstø, Stein Dankert – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Introductory physics is taught to several hundred thousand university students every year. It is seen as especially difficult by many and the failure rate is often high. A relevant question is whether one can increase the success rate among the weaker students? Retrieval practice is an established learning strategy with large benefits. However, as…

Mutch-Jones, Karen; Sengupta, Namrata; Minor, V. Christine; Goudsouzian, Lara K. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Undergraduate biology laboratories emphasize hands-on skills. Typically, descriptions of manual techniques are delivered via written instruction. Custom-produced prelab instructional videos, which augment prelab instruction, have come into wider use in recent years. However, institutional and economic barriers can interfere with video production…

Cheng, Meng-Fei; Wu, Tsung-Yu; Lin, Shu-Fen – Research in Science Education, 2021
Understanding scientific models and practicing scientific modeling have been emphasized and advocated in science learning. Although teachers have been perceived as shaping their students' understanding of the nature of science, they have been recognized for their lack of understanding of scientific models. This study explores middle school science…
