Liying Zhu; Daner Sun; Ma Luo; Weidong Liu; Song Xue – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
The laboratory plays a crucial role in science education. However, teacher education for pre-service teachers' design performance in the laboratory is still challenging. This study paved the way for redesigning traditional laboratory teaching into a student-centered approach: inquiry-based design thinking (IBDT). To investigate the impact of the…

Williams; Zachary Conley; Hinton Antentor Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Physiology is an important field for students to gain a better understanding of biological mechanisms. Yet, many students often find it difficult to learn from lectures, resulting in poor retention. Here, we utilize a learning workshop model to teach students at different levels ranging from middle school to undergraduate. We specifically designed…

Jessica D. Young; Betül Demirdögen; Christopher F. Bauer; Scott E. Lewis – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
Peer-led team learning is a socially mediated pedagogy where trained peer leaders, students who have completed a course, return to lead students in groups within a targeted course. The effect of peer-led team learning to improve student success in chemistry has been extensively documented but it is unclear if it is just as effective at…

Merav Siani; Ohad Levkovich; Roee Ben Nissan; Awni Gabara; Moshera Alatawna; Anat Yarden – American Biology Teacher, 2025
High-school teachers and students do not usually have access to scientific research advances because original research papers contain many highly specialized words that are specific to the discipline. Scientific newsletters (SNs) summarize current scientific research advances and trends. During the 2022-2023 school year, 21 SNs teaching biology…

Katarína Kotuláková; Lubica Janošcová; Natália Priškinová; Katerina Trcková – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
The purpose of "practical work" in chemistry lessons as perceived by teachers varies and does not always correspond with an emphasis on procedural learning. Teachers project various objectives in them. These activities have various characteristics and potential. The goal of this study is to find out the set of characteristics of…

Qing Guo; Yuqing Chen; Cuilan Qiao; Yunwei Yu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Science data literacy (SDL) is an important literacy for college students in STEM majors to possess. However, the current understanding of SDL is incomplete and lacks effective cultivation strategies. This study integrates the core ideas of science literacy (SL) and data literacy (DL), while considering the characteristics of science data, and…

Lisabeth Marie Santana; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
This research focuses on the experiences of seven undergraduate women who were majoring in physics in a medium-size physics department at a small liberal arts college. In the semistructured, empathetic interviews we conducted, the women discussed how they decided to major in physics, their interactions with their peers and instructors, and who…

Ayesha Farheen; Nia Martin; Scott E. Lewis – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Education in organic chemistry is highly reliant on molecular representations. Students abstract information from representations to make sense of submicroscopic interactions. This study investigates relationships between differing representations: bond-line structures, ball-and-stick, or electrostatic potential maps (EPMs), and predicting partial…

Jenni Ingram – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
Understanding randomness is essential for modern life, as it underpins decisions under uncertainty. It is also an essential part of both the mathematics and science curricula in schools. Yet, research has shown that many people consider randomness difficult to perceive and argue about, with a number of different and contradictory views on the…
