Toby Story; Robert B. Powell; Elizabeth Baldwin; Robert F. Baldwin; Jeremy S. Dertien – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Environmental education (EE) is instrumental in developing environmentally literate citizens with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to support sustainable development. In the case of EE school field trips in the USA, these experiences also foster learning and skill development that supports meeting state and national educational…

Daniel Robert Plonski – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The purpose of this mixed methods action research was to determine if increased interactive Schoology-based modules could alter learner perceptions concerning the lack of meaningful learning (learner-instructor, learner-learner, learner-content) in the culture unit of instruction in an Advanced Placement Human Geography (APHG) classroom. A series…

Çarkit, Cafer – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2020
In this research, audiobook listening experiences of 8th grade students are discussed. In this context, the effect of audiobooks on students' attitudes towards listening is determined and their opinions on audiobooks are evaluated. In the study, action research design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The prepared action plan…

Kavitha Murthi; Yu-Lun Chen; Wendy Martin; Ariana Riccio; Kristie Patten – Research in Science Education, 2024
Current research underscores that there are only a few evidence-based programs that teach STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) as part of their curriculum, especially for autistic students. Even fewer programs focus on engineering and design learning. Hence, we developed an informal afterschool maker program to develop autistic…

Littrell, Megan K.; Gold, Anne U.; Koskey, Kristin L. K.; May, Toni A.; Leckey, Erin; Okochi, Christine – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
The Transformative Experience Questionnaire (TEQ) has previously been used only in formal science learning environments to examine how students' learning experiences extend beyond the classroom into their daily lives. In the present study, an example of how this tool can be useful to assess transformative experiences in an informal learning…

Alison G. Boardman; Joseph L. Polman; Karla Scornavacco; Ashley Seidel Potvin; Antero Garcia; Bridget Dalton; Kristina Stamatis; Aaron Guggenheim; Jessica L. Alzen – AERA Open, 2024
Project-based learning (PBL) grounds instruction in authentic learning experiences where students engage in real-world explorations that culminate in a final product or performance. We report on a mixed methods study with 43 ninth-grade English language arts (ELA) teachers (22 PBL and 21 comparison) and 1,671 students exploring the feasibility of…

Robson M. Araujo-Junior; Alec M. Bodzin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Digital game-based and gamified technologies hold much promise to promote the development of learners' conceptual knowledge. This efficacy study used desktop virtual reality (dVR) to investigate how the place-based digital gameful learning experience (DGLE) "Watershed Explorers", implemented as a curriculum enhancement activity, impacted…

Tsai, Meng-Jung; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Hsu, Chung-Yuan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Computational thinking has received tremendous attention from computer science educators and educational researchers in the last decade. However, most prior literature defines computational thinking as thinking outcomes rather than thinking processes. Based on Selby and Woodland's framework, this study developed and validated the Computational…

Understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI), as opposed to engaging students in inquiry learning experiences, are included in science education reform documents around the world. However, little is known about what students have learned about NOSI during their pre-college school years. The purpose of this large-scale follow-up…

Samuels, William Ellery; Tournaki, Nelly; Sacks, Stanley; Blackman, Sheldon; Sacks, JoAnn; Byalin, Kenneth; Peterford, Theresa – Education and Society, 2023
Teacher-student interactions are at the core of formal learning experiences. Since these interactions can be affected by ways in which the teacher or student perceive themselves to be similar, we investigated the effects of racial/ethnic and gender similarities on the type and frequency of disciplinary incidents adolescents were involved in at one…

Pedersen, Blaine; Makel, Matthew C.; Rambo-Hernandez, Karen E.; Peters, Scott J.; Plucker, Jonathan – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2023
School-based learning experiences are often designed with the "typical" student in mind. However, this may not be an optimal approach, given the variability of prior learning that exists in most classrooms. We investigated the variance in achievement within U.S. fourth- and eighth-grade mathematics classrooms using Trends in…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Elluri, Sindhura; Dasgupta, Chandan; Seah, Ying Ying; Madamanchi, Aasakiran; Boutin, Mireille – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2019
In science and engineering education, the use of heuristics has been introduced as a way of understanding the world, and as a way to approach problem-solving and design. However, important consequences for the use of heuristics are that they do not always guarantee a correct solution. Learning by Design has been identified as a pedagogical…

Sæleset, Johannes; Friedrichsen, Patricia – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
In the current study, we address calls for research on the complex nature of integrations of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components. This is a multiple case study of six middle school pre-service teachers (PSTs) as they taught science in their school practicum. We investigated the nature of PSTs' integration between knowledge of students'…
