Lee, Show-Run; Lu, Yu-Ling; Lien, Chi-Jui – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2019
The use of scientific models has been regarded as an important skill for scientific enquiry. However, although many national curricula and major international science education reform movements have stressed the use of scientific models in science teaching and learning, students and teachers generally do not know how to perceive models properly.…

Chih-Hung Chen; Hsiang-Yu Chung – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has gained considerable attention and in-depth discussion over the last two decades. Although the significance of CT has been highlighted, it could be challenging for educators to teach CT. Fortunately, adopting robots in education has been evidenced to be of benefit to promoting students' learning motivation, CT, and…
