David N. Potier – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
As part of the current UK GCSE science curriculum, pupils need to use their understanding of science to answer questions about a series of core experiments. Problem-solving and applying knowledge to new situations is fundamental in enabling students to progress in science; however, many learners struggle to develop these skills. This can lead to…

C. Herodotou; M. Aristeidou; E. Scanlon; S. Kelley – Open Learning, 2025
This paper examines the pedagogical integration of Virtual Microscopes (VMs) in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), to identify best practice and improve online pedagogy. It has captured the perspectives of 12 Health and Earth Science university teachers, through in-depth interviews, about the current integration of the VM in online teaching,…

Katharine Hubbard; Dominic Henri; Graham Scott; Howard Snelling; Elke Roediger – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges for practical teaching within the sciences. While many instructors adopted innovative alternatives to conventional practicals, many relied on digital approaches that did not give students hands-on experience. In this study we evaluate the use of 'at home' practical kits used in first year physics…

Anne-Line Bjerknes; Terese Wilhelmsen; Emilie Foyn-Bruun – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2024
Disagreement exists about how to best spark young children's motivation to learn natural science. Both curiosity and wonder are considered important motivational factors for learning during early childhood (0-8 years). This systematic literature review explores research about scientific curiosity and wonder in early childhood education and care…

Sarah-Marie Da Silva; Katharine Hubbard – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
Society and education are inherently ableist. Disabled people are routinely excluded from education, or have poorer outcomes within educational systems. Improving educational experiences and outcomes for people of color has required educators to design antiracist curricula that explicitly address racial inequality. Here, we explore parallel…

Rayment, Sarah; Garrie, Karin; Kaur, Ishwinder; McVicker, Gareth; Storey, Emma; Winter, Jody; De Girolamo, Luigi A.; Rimmer, Callum; Negus, David; Nelson, Carl; Thomas, Jonathan; Loughlin, Michael; Dale, Jess – Education Sciences, 2022
Development of key practical skills is fundamental to bioscience courses in higher education. With limitations on access to laboratory time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a "Bioskills at home" kit was developed to create opportunities for first year undergraduate students to develop these skills using online support resources to guide…

Alexandra Okada – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
National governments are concerned about the disconnection of young people from science, which hampers the development of a scientifically literate society promoting sustainable development, wellbeing, equity, and a green economy. Introduced in 2015 alongside Agenda 2030, the "open schooling" approach aims at enhancing students' science…

Norberto Ribeiro; Carla Malafaia; Tiago Neves; Isabel Menezes – European Journal of Higher Education, 2024
This study provides a "narrative synthesis" of the findings published in journal articles from a broad range of scientific fields about the impact of extracurricular activities (ECAs) on the academic success and employability of university students. The analysis included 39 articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, published…

Jones, Harriet L.; Zini, Valentina; Green, Jon R.; Prendergast, John R.; Scott, Jon – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic caused severe disruption to education in the UK in 2020, with most of the school teaching moving online and national school examinations being cancelled. This was particularly disruptive for those taking end of school examinations in preparation for higher education. Biological science courses require students to absorb a lot…

Markwick, Andy; White, Amy – Primary Science, 2022
Previous articles in "Primary Science" have presented a range of ways to teach electricity in engaging and informative ways (e.g. Buckley and Harvey, 2014; Chapman, 2014; Norman, 2014; CLEAPSS, 2016) and Frank Harris provides an interesting historical account of the development and use of batteries in "School Science Review"…

Fatma Ünal; Hakan Kogar – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2024
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of missing data imputation methods, namely regression imputation (RI), multiple imputation (MI) and k-nearest neighbor (kNN) on differential item functioning (DIF). In this regard, the datasets used in the research were created by deleting some of the data via the missing completely at random…

Chappell, Keith; Mahmud, Arif; Hopkins, Paul – School Science Review, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic greatly reduced students' capacities to engage in hands-on 'enquiry' science. But even before the pandemic, teachers and researchers were questioning the value and purpose of practical science. This article describes a project that imagined and then tested two answers. It imagined that the answer is to give every child their…
