Research on anxiety faced by teachers has focused on math-related anxieties. However, elementary teachers who teach multiple subjects may also experience anxiety when teaching other subjects, especially early in their careers or when teaching certain grade levels. In this preregistered study with 279 kindergarten to third-grade teachers, we…

This in biology courses at the high school level, complex material often requires in-depth understanding and the ability to present arguments logically. This study aims to produce teaching materials in the form of ARCS-based biology e-module that are valid, practical, and effective for Phase E students in odd semesters in biology subjects,…

Evidence suggests that students exposed to authentic undergraduate research activities are more successful than those who are not. Not all students in an undergraduate program get an opportunity for mentored research, which is still the popular way to expose them to authentic research. However, involvement in undergraduate research can be…

This study was designed to examine how the science teaching process was conducted using Science Coaster, a virtual reality application developed for fourth-grade primary school students, and to identify the effects of this process on students' academic achievement, motivation, and experiences. The research was structured as a case study, and the…

When the studies on the effectiveness of visual programming language are examined, it is seen that studies on coding teaching have been carried out frequently recently. In this study, Scratch was used as a teaching tool in teaching science lessons. In this way, a new perspective has been brought to Scratch applications. In the related study, the…

All students deserve to be engaged in high-quality science instruction that moves beyond memorization and recall of facts and offers opportunities for sensemaking. Science achievement is alarmingly low signifying there is a large percentage of students experiencing difficulty in science. The low science achievement may be symptomatic of gaps in…

The study investigated the impact of guided inquiry-based laboratory experiments enriched instructional (GIBLEI) approach on conceptual understanding of tenth grade students in biology. The study included two purposively chosen schools and used a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent groups. A class was randomly assigned as the…

This study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence into the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) methodology through a learning analytics lens. Using a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design (N=140), we examined how an AI-enhanced collaborative platform influences creative thinking among computer science undergraduates. The experimental group…

Cell biology research methods and techniques is one of the training courses for graduate students before enter the laboratory in many universities. However, due to the limited time of experimental teaching while the teaching contents are increasing, choosing suitable teaching content has always been a challenge faced by experimental teaching.…

Teaching redox reactions requires careful investigation as learners often display a range of misconceptions, particularly in connecting the chemistry levels of representation: macroscopic, sub-microscopic, and symbolic. This study explores teachers' teaching strategies, opportunities, and challenges when developing conceptual understanding of…

Adaptive expertise concerns the ability to respond effectively to novel and unexpected situations. This expertise is important for improving students' cognitive engagement, understanding and participation in meaningful learning. This paper presents findings on primary teachers' adaptive expertise in interdisciplinary mathematics and science using…

This mixed methods study explored how the making of animated models affected year 11 students' understanding of the effect of temperature on the equilibrium of an exothermic or endothermic reaction. The students' perspectives and the role of the activity in facilitating a metacognitive process were also examined. Teacher perspectives were also…

Biochemistry lab classes help students connect theory to real-world applications and develop practical, collaborative, and higher-order thinking skills. However, many students are unprepared, spending class time on protocols and equipment instead of higher-order learning. To improve preparation, digital gamified modules were created to replace…

In this paper, we present an empirical study carried out in a country where STEM education does not have a tradition, and the content and didactics of mathematics are typically studied separately from the content and didactics of biology. In that context, we focus on analogies in the conceptual structure of mathematics and biology, and study how…

With policies that strongly emphasize reading, teachers need interdisciplinary strategies that not only represent professional scientists' practices but also support students' engagement and learning in both science and reading. Opportunities abound for teachers to help students recognize the fluid connections between disciplines such as science,…
