There is a contradiction in the literature about the effect of REACT strategy on science achievement. This study aims to resolve this contradiction by determining the effect of REACT strategy on student science achievement and the factors affecting this strategy by integrating findings obtained from both qualitative and quantitative studies. The…

Direct linkHutchison, John M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
The use of structural representations to convey spatial and chemical information is an integral part of organic chemistry. As a result, students must acquire skills to interpret and translate between the various diagrammatic forms. This article summarizes the skills sets, problem-solving strategies, and identified student difficulties in…

Karisan, Dilek; Zeidler, Dana L. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2017
The aim of this paper is to examine the importance of contextualization of Nature of Science (NOS) within the Socioscientific Issues (SSI) framework, because of the importance to science education. The emphasis on advancing scientific literacy is contingent upon a robust understanding and appreciation of NOS, as well as the acquisition of…

Heyd-Metzuyanim, Einat; Schwarz, Baruch B. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
We offer a new approach to emergent knowledge in processes of conceptual change in dyadic interaction by drawing on Pickering's ("The Mangle of Practice," The University of Chicago Press, London, 1995) Mangle of Practice theory, which theorizes the emergence of new scientific knowledge as occurring due to material resistance and human…

Cranwell, P. B.; Davis, F. J.; Elliott, J. M.; McKendrick, J. E.; Page, E. M.; Spillman, M. J. – New Directions in the Teaching of Physical Sciences, 2017
The transition from A-level to degree-level practical classes then to a research project, hence from dependent learner to independent researcher, is a hurdle that all students face when studying for a chemistry degree. This can be daunting so any innovations that aid this transition are of great value. At the University of Reading, the first year…

Yenikalayci, Nisa; Akarca,Türkan Aybike – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2020
One of the basic science process skills, number and space relation, is used to transform a twodimensional object into a three-dimensional shape or express symmetry axis of the objects. The aim of this research was to determine the number and space relation skills of pre-service science teachers in order to train more qualified science teachers…

Bickford, Nate; Peterson, Elizabeth; Jensen, Philip; Thomas, Dave – Education Sciences, 2020
In Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), undergraduate research experiences provide students with invaluable opportunities to improve scientific skills. However, less is known about its impact on higher-order thinking skills. Therefore, we sought to determine if engagement in undergraduate research would improve academic…

Shellito, Cindy – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
Students in introductory college science courses often have a simplified understanding of the scientific method. To introduce students to the complexity of the scientific process and the value of empirical observations, I implemented a semester-long assignment that required introductory-level college science students to build and calibrate weather…

Maria Martínez-Chico; Maria Rut Jiménez-Liso; Maria Evagorou – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2020
In this paper, we present the design of a teacher training sequence, emphasizing supporting pre-service teachers to reflect on their knowledge, skills, and emotions experienced when engaging in scientific practices. We consider such reflections being crucial in initial teacher training because they can make pre-service teachers aware of the…

Ong, Jun-Yang; Chan, Shang-Ce; Hoang, Truong-Giang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
A Sonogashira experiment was transformed into a problem-based learning platform for third-year undergraduate students. Given a target that could be synthesized in a single step, students worked in groups to investigate which method was the best for large-scale production. Through this practical scenario, students learn to conduct a literature…

As future scientists, university students need to learn how to avoid making errors in their own manuscripts, as well as how to identify flaws in papers published by their peers. Here we describe a novel approach on how to promote students' ability to critically evaluate scientific articles. The exercise is based on instructing teams of students to…

Zhang, Nianhui; Yu, Dong; Zhu, Xiaofeng – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
The practice of RNA isolation in undergraduate experimental courses is rare because of the existence of robust, ubiquitous and stable ribonucleases. We reported here modifications to our original protocol for RNA isolation from plant tissues, including the recovery of nucleic acids by ethanol precipitation at 0 degrees C for 10 min and the…

Miller, Emily; Manz, Eve; Russ, Rosemary; Stroupe, David; Berland, Leema – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [Achieve, Inc. [2013]] represent a broad consensus that teaching and learning expectations must change. Rather than memorizing and reciting information, students are now expected to engage in science practices to develop a deep understanding of core science ideas. While we want to share in the optimism…
