Jona Lilienthal; Sibylle Sturtz; Christoph Schürmann; Matthias Maiworm; Christian Röver; Tim Friede; Ralf Bender – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
In Bayesian random-effects meta-analysis, the use of weakly informative prior distributions is of particular benefit in cases where only a few studies are included, a situation often encountered in health technology assessment (HTA). Suggestions for empirical prior distributions are available in the literature but it is unknown whether these are…

Senol Sen – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL), is a group-learning method that contributes to the active participation of learners in learning/teaching environments. However, a standard process for using the POGIL in classes is not available. In addition, no systematic reviews using bibliometric analysis in the literature examine the studies…

Andrew Shenton – Journal of Information Literacy, 2024
This paper uses six books to investigate the early history of information literacy (IL) teaching to school-aged young people in the UK. The work was inspired by Neil MacGregor's Radio Four programme, "A History of the World in 100 Objects," which explored humankind's development via a series of artefacts. In my project, the items were…

Stephanie Yang; Miles Baird; Eleanor O’Rourke; Karen Brennan; Bertrand Schneider – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Students learning computer science frequently struggle with debugging errors in their code. These struggles can have significant downstream effects--negatively influencing how students assess their programming ability and contributing to their decision to drop out of CS courses. However, debugging instruction is often an overlooked topic, and…

Badeo, Jeah May; Duque, Domart Ace – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2022
This study aims to summarize the research findings on using socio-scientific issues (SSI) in teaching Science. In recent years, teaching based on socio-scientific issues (SSI) is utilized in science education to promote scientific literacy. A meta-analysis is conducted by calculating the effect size of the 12 studies associated with the SSI…

Ormandy, Elisabeth; Schwab, Janella C.; Suiter, Samantha; Green, Nicole; Oakley, Janice; Osenkowski, Pamela; Sumner, Christine – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Animal dissection is practiced to varying degrees around the world and is particularly prevalent in North America throughout all levels of education. However, a growing number of studies suggest that nonanimal teaching methods (NAMs) (e.g., virtual anatomy tools and three-dimensional models) are better for achieving learning goals compared to…

Fricke, Kristina; Reinisch, Bianca – Science & Education, 2023
Studies on the quality of nature of science (NOS) representations in school science textbooks report them being mostly of implicit manner and not fully adequate. However, the often underlying NOS framework of the consensus list in these studies is criticized as undifferentiated and inadequate. The family resemblance approach (FRA) to NOS shows…
