Hughes, Theo; Kersting, Magdalena – Physics Education, 2021
Recently, the physics education community has taken a keen interest in modernising physics education. However, while topics in modern physics have great potential to engage students, these topics are abstract and hard-to-visualise. Therefore, many students hold mistaken pictures and misconceptions, which can impede learning. In this article, we…

Butler, Sean C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Undergraduate organic chemistry students, as they study conformational analysis and stereochemistry, frequently have trouble manipulating three-dimensional structures on a two-dimensional page or screen. The inability to accurately convert three-dimensional bond-line representations into Fischer projections is one example of this. While some…

Kubicek, Emily; Quandt, Lorna C. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
Past work investigating spatial cognition suggests better mental rotation abilities for those who are fluent in a signed language. However, no prior work has assessed whether fluency is needed to achieve this performance benefit or what it may look like on the neurobiological level. We conducted an electroencephalography experiment and assessed…

Katie Fitzgerald; Elizabeth Tipton – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background: As the body of scientific evidence about what works in education grows, so does the need to effectively communicate that evidence to policy-makers and practitioners. Websites and clearinghouses such as the "What Works Clearinghouse" (WWC), "Evidence for ESSA," "Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development,"…

OShaughnessy, Domhnall – Educational Media and Technology Yearbook, 2019
A thorough appreciation of the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecules is crucial for new students of chemistry and critical to students continuing their studies in chemistry. We discuss current use of molecular models in education and investigate a variety of techniques used over the years to introduce students to atomic orbitals.…

Brandin Conrath; Amy Voss Farris; Scott McDonald – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
The changing landscape of geoscience learning has initiated growing interest in engaging science learners with climate data. One approach to teaching climate is the application of broadly accessible digital science curricula, which often include data tools such as visualizations, data representations, and simulations embedded within digital…

Kert, Serhat Bahadir; Yeni, Sabiha; Fatih Erkoç, Mehmet – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Computational thinking (CT) and computer science (CS) are becoming more widely adopted in K-12 education. However, there is a lack of focus on CT and CS access for children with disabilities. This study investigates the effect of the robot development process at the secondary school level on the algorithmic thinking and mental rotation skills of…

VerCetty, Quentin – Journal of Museum Education, 2022
In the twenty-first century, museum learning has shifted with the world's social climate, exploring new approaches to engage the public with collections. This text reframes the museum art educator as an activator and how they can utilize concepts within Afrofuturism to decolonize hegemonic white cultural institutions and Eurocentric epistemes.…

Duan, Chenggui; Lee, Tracy K. – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2022
Purpose: Free and open-source software (FOSS) has been used worldwide because of the advantages of user control, cost-saving, flexibility, openness, freedom, more security and better stability. The purpose of this study is to explore the status quo of educational application of FOSS and the trends from international perspectives and its…

Luo, Zhanni – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Gamification refers to the use of game-design elements or mechanisms in non-game contexts to promote the expected behaviours. Though theoretically promising, empirical studies reported mixed results as to the effectiveness of gamification in educational practices. To understand this issue better, this author selected 44 articles on the topic of…

Neal, Jennifer Watling; Neal, Zachary P. – School Psychology, 2022
Understanding educators' networks can inform the field of school psychology by offering insight into how the structure of social relationships supports the implementation of school-based programs. However, the difficulties of collecting and modeling network data remain barriers to using network methods in school psychology. To overcome these…

Lin, Kimberly R.; Wisman Weil, Lisa; Thurm, Audrey; Lord, Catherine; Luyster, Rhiannon J. – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2022
Background & aims: Throughout typical development, children prioritize different perceptual, social, and linguistic cues to learn words. The earliest acquired words are often those that are perceptually salient and highly imageable. Imageability, the ease in which a word evokes a mental image, is a strong predictor for word age of acquisition…

McCartney, Shelagh; Rosenvasser, Ximena – SAGE Open, 2022
Students' privacy expectations in university housing have increased, a change that has been reflected in universities shifting from traditional units to increasing numbers of apartments and suites. This study examines privacy and territories in student university housing architecture, using architectural plans of 76 residences, relating the…

Hilliker, Angela K.; Grayson, Kristine L. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
As biologists accumulate or encounter increasingly large and complex data sets, our field creates the need for students to develop skills in data exploration and visualization. Many biology courses lack the time for students to develop the skills needed to parse complex datasets and visualize them appropriately. We developed a new upper-level…

Gargrish, Shubham; Mantri, Archana; Kaur, Deepti Prit – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
The teaching of Mathematics -- in particular, Geometry, through conventional methods has been a challenging task for tutors. Augmented Reality (AR) based applications available in commercial space, have not followed any structured pedagogical approach in the designing process, and also do not ensure that the learning time of students is spent…
