Previous work has identified that recognition from others is an important predictor of students' participation, persistence, and career intentions in physics. However, research has also found a gender bias in peer recognition in which student nominations of strong peers in their physics course disproportionately favor men over women. In this…

A key part of the practice of chemistry is the analysis of chemical composition, including through gravimetric analysis and spectrophotometry. However, the complexity of doing multiple calculations to obtain analytical evidence, such as that required to determine an empirical formula, presents a challenge if such analytical methods are to be…

This study was carried out with the aim of determining the effect of robotic coding education on pre-school children's skills of scientific process. Study group consisted of 30 children aged five who studied in an independent kindergarten connected to Ministry of National Education in Refahiye district of Erzincan province in the first semester of…

When Mentos candies are dropped into a bottle of Diet Coke, a foamy fountain jets out of the beverage container. It has previously been argued that ingredients found in Mentos candies significantly enhance this fountaining effect. Other previous work has demonstrated that the kinetics of foam production can be quantitatively monitored using a…

Experiential learning is a foundational element to agriscience education. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of reflection type and abstraction order on students' scientific reasoning skills when teaching experientially. Three major conclusions can be drawn from this study: (1) reflection type and abstraction order are…

The key difference between math as math and math in science is that in science we blend our physical knowledge with our knowledge of math. This blending changes the way we put meaning to math and even the way we interpret mathematical equations. Learning to think about physics with math instead of just calculating involves a number of general…

Collaborative inquiry is an instructional approach that encourages student groups to engage in scientific inquiry processes, thereby enhancing their critical thinking and exploratory skills. The effective classroom implementation of this method requires ensuring student engagement in each inquiry stage, where technological tools and activity…

Elementary students learn best when they make observations about perplexing natural phenomena, ask questions about what they observed, and pursue answers to their own questions through engagement in science practice. However, facilitating such learning experiences can be challenging for novice instructors. In this unit, pre-service elementary…

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a research-based learning management plan microbiology and its impact on vocational education certificate students in the Animal Science department at Mahasarakham College of Agriculture and Technology. The research instruments included five research-based learning plans of microorganisms and…

This study aims to explore the literature on learning interventions that can enhance students' multiple representation skills and identify indicators for assessing multiple representation abilities in physics education. Following the PRISMA procedure, the research is a systematic literature review using qualitative content analysis techniques. The…

Recognising the importance of developing creativity in education, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) included an assessment of creative thinking for the first time in its 2022 cycle -- with the results summarised in the PISA 2022 Results (Volume III) report. While that report focused on comparing countries' performance on…

Interactive digital technologies are playing an increasingly important part in education for enhancing collaborative learning processes and improving engagement. Social annotation (SA) tools and collaborative platforms are an innovative way to involve students to give and take feedback, annotate, and brainstorm on complex topics in science,…

In the Society 5.0 era, a significant challenge for education is integrating science and technology to strengthen human resources by enhancing students' science competencies. This study aims to develop a PBL e-book that integrates local environmental issues in Bojonegoro, East Java, and to describe its design, validity, and effectiveness in…

Gross anatomy is often taught and assessed based on a "standard" view of the human body, limiting students' exposure to normal variation, creating a potential curricular gap in the training of future anatomists and health care professionals. This scoping review explores learning objectives and teaching approaches associated with…

This study investigates the effectiveness of a modified flipped classroom that integrated with a technology-enhanced Predict-Observe-Explain strategy to improve students' self-regulated learning abilities, learning performance and science process skills in a secondary school in Hong Kong. An experimental group of modified flipped classroom (n =…
