Direct linkLiou, Pey-Yan; Myoung, Eunjung – Science Education, 2023
A hotly debated topic is the effectiveness of inquiry-based instructional practice in science classrooms on student achievement and motivation. Numerous studies based on multinational large-scale education data show such student-centered instructional practice positively led to students' motivational beliefs but was negatively associated with…

Comparison of Traditional Essay Questions versus Case Based Modified Essay Questions in Biochemistry
Bansal, Aastha; Dubey, Abhishek; Singh, Vijay Kumar; Goswami, Binita; Kaushik, Smita – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Adult learning involves the analysis and synthesis of knowledge to become competent, which cannot be assessed only by traditional assessment tool and didactic learning methods. Stimulation of higher domains of cognitive learning needs to be inculcated to reach a better understanding of the subject rather than traditional assessment tools that…

Benarroch Benarroch, Alicia; Briceño Martinez, John Jairo – Teacher Development, 2023
To strengthen the professional development of its science university professors with academic assignments in scientific careers, a Colombian higher education institution commissioned the design of a six-month training programme. The aim was to help professors change their teaching practices toward more student-centred models. The purpose of this…

Kloser, Matthew; Floyd, Catherine; Spang, Chloe; Rogers, Megan; Ottone, Nicholas; Rice, Matthew – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
While expository texts are an efficient and dominant genre used by science teachers in the United States, they generally lack justification for their claims and fail to reflect science as practice. In contrast, epistemically considerate texts detail specific scientific experiments, providing the reader insight into the methods and data of a…

Oemig, Paulo A. – Journal of Latinos and Education, 2023
The culture of a science classroom favors a particular speech community. Thus membership requires students to become bilingual and bicultural at the same time. The complexity of learning science rests in that it not only possesses a unique lexicon and discourse, but it ultimately entails a particular way of knowing. This study examines the…

Goodwin, Emma C.; Shapiro, Casey; Freise, Amanda C.; Toven-Lindsey, Brit; Parker, Jordan Moberg – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
Communicating science effectively is an essential part of the development of science literacy. Research has shown that introducing primary scientific literature through journal clubs can improve student learning outcomes, including increased scientific knowledge. However, without scaffolding, students can miss more complex aspects of science…

McCausland, Jonathan; Jackson, Jennifer; McDonald, Scott; Bateman, Kathryn; Pallant, Amy; Lee, Hee-Sun – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Learning to teach is a culturally situated activity. As teachers learn, it is important to understand not only what teachers learn, but how they learn. This article describes a qualitative case study of a subset of four teachers' learning during a professional development surrounding a plate tectonics curriculum. Using qualitative methods, this…

Krell, Moritz – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Teachers' career choice motives are defined as the interests, orientations, and motives of young people that motivate them to aspire the teaching career. Teachers' career choice motives have been shown to impact teaching and job retention. Many studies investigated teachers generic career choice motives but studies on teachers' subject-specific…

Students understand math and science lessons better when innovative teaching resources are used. To implement a variety of teaching strategies and methods, teachers must be aware of and familiar with various innovative and effective pedagogical knowledge and skills. Some students, on the other hand, believe that math and science are difficult…

Wang, Ning; Stern, Robert J.; Waite, Lowell – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Geographic context is important for Earth Science education but different places have different geological complexities and effectively establishing geoscientific context can be difficult. Well-designed videos can help geoscience educators introduce geologically significant places to undergraduate geoscience students. However, there is no…
