Students in a typical instrumental analysis course may learn more than 30 analytical techniques. There are more than 150 components associated with the instrumentation that they learn. To help students organize this large amount of information, we classified these components into four categories: sources, samples, discriminators, and detectors. In…

Liying Zhu; Daner Sun; Ma Luo; Weidong Liu; Song Xue – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
The laboratory plays a crucial role in science education. However, teacher education for pre-service teachers' design performance in the laboratory is still challenging. This study paved the way for redesigning traditional laboratory teaching into a student-centered approach: inquiry-based design thinking (IBDT). To investigate the impact of the…

Julia A. Domenech; Renee M. Clary – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
Ventura, California's 2023 winter storm activity underscored the impact that runoff has on recreational water quality and public health. To examine public perception of stormwater runoff, coastal water quality, and community decision-making toward recreating in polluted water, an online survey of the Ventura River watershed community determined…

Williams; Zachary Conley; Hinton Antentor Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Physiology is an important field for students to gain a better understanding of biological mechanisms. Yet, many students often find it difficult to learn from lectures, resulting in poor retention. Here, we utilize a learning workshop model to teach students at different levels ranging from middle school to undergraduate. We specifically designed…

Lu Shi; Ying Wang; Jherian K. Mitchell-Jones; Marilyne Stains – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Assessment plays a critical role in instruction and curriculum. Existing literature on instructors' assessment practices and related factors has been intensively focused on primary and secondary education. This study extended the contexts of previous literature to post-secondary chemistry education by exploring general chemistry instructors'…

Jessica D. Young; Betül Demirdögen; Christopher F. Bauer; Scott E. Lewis – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
Peer-led team learning is a socially mediated pedagogy where trained peer leaders, students who have completed a course, return to lead students in groups within a targeted course. The effect of peer-led team learning to improve student success in chemistry has been extensively documented but it is unclear if it is just as effective at…

Ming Chi; Changlong Zheng; Peng He – Science & Education, 2024
Chemical thinking has been widely recognized as a core competence for supporting students' problem solving in chemistry education. Disciplinary essential questions and perspectives are two critical aspects of chemical thinking. This study connects essential questions with such perspectives to develop a new framework for restructuring chemical…

This article introduces a flexible and easy-to-implement open-ended scientific inquiry activity called the Paper Towels Challenge. After experimentally determining which of three unbranded paper towels is the most absorbent, students discuss their results and methods. The teacher facilitates the discussion of epistemological issues. This activity…

Kara, Filiz – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2023
In the present research, the "DNA Model with Clothespins" activity was designed to teach the subjects of nucleotide, DNA, and DNA replication, which are abstract subjects of science. The aim of the research, which was carried out with 20 students in 8th grade, was to examine the effects of the activity on students' achievement on the…

We here propose a simple and fast hands-on activity requiring limited equipment, to introduce students of various levels (bachelor's or high school) and backgrounds (from science to arts) to the chemistry of color. The different colors of stained glass are replicated through the deposition, on ordinary glass slides, of silica coatings colored by…
