Ingraham Dixie; K. Supriya – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…

Dori, Yehudit Judy; Allouche, Amira; Herscu-Kluska, Ronit; Herscovitz, Orit; Yarden, Hagit; Blinder, Yaron; Levenberg, Shulamit – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Our study investigates the effect of hybrid courses and reading scientific articles on scientific literacy of biomedical engineering students. Participants included about 100 undergraduate and graduate students who participated in one or two hybrid courses. Our research goal was to study the effect of reading scientific articles and participating…

Stylinski, Cathlyn Davis; Peterman, Karen; Phillips, Tina; Linhart, Jenna; Becker-Klein, Rachel – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2020
Skill-based outcomes play a prominent role in citizen science experiences as they are situated directly between the dual, intertwining goals of advancing science learning and science research. Regular and transparent assessment of volunteers' science inquiry skills can support these goals, but we lack a comprehensive understanding of how these…

In this study, conceptual and algebra-based physics students were engaged in scientific inquiry using Physics Education Technology (PhET) interactive simulations via semester-long group projects. The instructor and students used the Scientific Abilities Assessment Rubrics (SAAR) to evaluate project presentations and papers (formative assessment).…

Szalay, L.; Toth, Z.; Kiss, E. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
The results of an earlier empirical research study on modifying 'step-by-step' instructions to practical activities requiring one or more steps of the experiments to be designed by students initiated a longitudinal study to investigate the effectiveness of the approach for younger students and over a period of time. The longitudinal study that…

Leszczynski, Eliza; Monahan, Ceire; Munakata, Mika; Vaidya, Ashwin – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2017
Students in a beginning level undergraduate classical mechanics course engaged in collaborative inquiry through the "Windwalker Project". The aim of this project was for students to create a free-standing movable structure as a way of testing and applying their understanding of the conceptual and theoretical elements of the course. This…

Wooten, Michelle M.; Coble, Kim; Puckett, Andrew W.; Rector, Travis – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Astronomy Education Research.] This study investigates students' perceived impacts regarding their participation in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in astronomy. Each research experience adopted one or more projects from the Research Based Science Education for Undergraduates…

Gaigher, Estelle; Lederman, Norman; Lederman, Judith – International Journal of Science Education, 2014
This paper reports a study on South African learners' knowledge about scientific inquiry using the Views About Scientific Inquiry (VASI) Questionnaire. The sample consisted of 105 grade 11 learners from 7 schools across the socio-economic spectrum in a South African city. A rubric for scoring the VASI Questionnaire was developed and refined during…

Iyer, Rupa S.; Wales, Melinda E. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2012
The increasingly interdisciplinary nature of today's scientific research is leading to the transformation of undergraduate education. In addressing these needs, the University of Houston's College of Technology has developed a new interdisciplinary research-based biotechnology laboratory curriculum. Using the pesticide degrading bacterium,…
