Learning approaches refer to the differentiation in the purpose that students consider and the activities they choose to perform a particular learning task. Many studies have been carried out at university level, in various grade levels and fields, in order to determine the learning approaches of students and to enable them to learn to learn by…

The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has modified teaching and learning throughout the world. The developments in Information Communication Technology tools have played a critical role in the education community. During the pandemic, the organization and conduction of theory classes in Universities across India were managed reasonably on one side, but the…

This study examines science, mathematics, and classroom teacher candidates' attitudes towards mistakeinstant feedback. A total of 531 undergraduate students from different universities in Türkiye participated in the study. "Mathematics and science teachers' attitude scale towards mistakes and instant feedback to mistakes" (MST-AS) was…

The aim of this study is to reveal experienced primary school teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), sub-components of PCK, and their possible interactions with science teaching. To this aim, a multiple holistic case study design was used. The research used a comprehensive PCK model consisting of 5 categories and 28 subcategories to…

Drawing, constructing, and explaining a model of a given abstract phenomenon is a challenging task. In this study, students were engaged in the "Project-Based Inquiry Science (PBIS)-Air Quality" learning unit, as part of their chemistry curriculum. The study aim is to determine how well students understand chemistry conceptually after…

This lesson focuses specifically on teaching concepts of speed and its impact on energy, as well as providing a basic introduction to potential and kinetic energy to fourth-grade students. "Next Generation Science Standards" ("NGSS") 4-PS3-1 states that students should be able "to use evidence to construct an explanation…

This paper follows up on the impact of a distance learning teachers' professional development program on their self-efficacy beliefs in the long term. Specifically, it measures the personal self-efficacy beliefs and outcome expectancy beliefs of a group of 122 in-service elementary teachers before the start of the program, immediately after its…

The purpose of this study was to examine whether a simulation-integrated context-based 7E instructional strategy (SICBIS) could increase students' achievement in the chemistry of oxides, acids, bases, and salts (COABS) when compared to context-based 7E instructional strategy (CBIS), simulation-integrated conventional teaching approach (SICTA), and…

Physics lab courses permanently undergo transformations, in recent times especially to adapt to the emergence of new digital technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic in which digital technologies facilitated distance learning. Since these transformations often occur within individual institutions, it is useful to get an overview of these…

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling requires an understanding of chemical, physiologic, and pharmacokinetic principles. Active learning with PBPK modeling software (GastroPlus) may be useful to teach these scientific principles while also teaching software operation. To examine this issue, a graduate-level course was designed…

Science education professional development (PD) experiences are important for developing effective teaching practices aligned to reform-based principles using innovative approaches, such as the Ambitious Science Teaching (AST) framework. The ability of schools and other organizations to provide high quality science education PD was challenged…

This research is quantitative research to determine the effect of using the Discovery Learning model to assist animation video on the critical thinking skills of students grade XI on the digestive system. The research method used is Quasi Experiment with a Non-equivalent Control Group Design and used purposive sampling. The research instruments…

This study aimed to determine differences in students' argumentation abilities on the subject matter of cell structure and function through a scientific approach in high schools with different accreditation ratings. The research design used is "ex post facto." The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a total sample of 111…

No matter if they are in high school or college, Turkish students have particular challenges when trying to understand chemistry lectures delivered in English. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difficulties Turkish students have when studying chemistry in English. A survey was administered to Turkish students at a Turkish University,…

Learning needs to develop student's critical thinking because critical thinking is at the core of knowledge construction. Both high and low-ability students should be encouraged to develop critical thinking skills. This research aimed to determine the effect of integrating the Think Pair Share (TPS) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) strategies on…
