Kuan-Fu Chen; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Mei-Rong Alice Chen – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Many studies have incorporated concept maps into digital games to enable learners to make connections between subject concepts in the game. However, most learners do not associate spontaneously with the thematic concepts in the game but need to be facilitated by effective scaffolding mechanisms to reconceptualize the learning process and content.…

Kubsch, Marcus; Nordine, Jeffrey; Neumann, Knut; Fortus, David; Krajcik, Joseph – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
Modern science standards emphasize knowledge-in-use, i.e., connecting scientific practices with content. For knowledge to become usable in knowledge-in-use performances, students need well organized knowledge networks that allow them to activate and connect sets of relevant ideas across contexts, i.e. students need integrated knowledge. We…

Bobis, Janette; Khosronejad, Maryam; Way, Jennifer; Anderson, Judy – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2020
Mathematics teachers' identities profoundly influence how they interact with and position their students to learn mathematics. In this paper, we examine how a year-long teacher learning intervention supportive of student engagement in mathematics helped shift teachers' mathematics-related identities. We use an implied identity perspective as a…

Gagic, Zvezdan Z.; Skuban, Sonja J.; Radulovic, Branka N.; Stojanovic, Maja M.; Gajic, Olivera – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2019
Primary school students generally lack motivation for learning physics, which they perceive as a difficult subject. In order to overcome this problem, it is necessary to apply appropriate teaching approach. The aim of this research was to assess the educational efficiency of mind maps in physics and students' involvement when this approach is…

Zubaidah, Siti; Fuad, Nur Miftahul; Mahanal, Susriyati; Suarsini, Endang – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2017
In inquiry-based learning, teachers usually only apply one level of inquiry from the four available levels. The diversity of students should be a serious consideration. Differentiated Learning Science Inquiry (DSI) implements the four levels of inquiry. To train students' creative thinking, inquiry can be integrated with mind maps. This research…
