Castro, Kathleen Mahra da Silva Alcântara; Amado, Talita Ferreira; Bidau, Claudio Juan; Martinez, Pablo Ariel – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Natural history museums (NHM) are important for students' learning and motivation. However, the lack or scarcity of NHMs in countries with emerging markets may hamper the learning process. Virtual 3D models represent an important tool to counterbalance the lack of access of students to NHMs. Our study aims to understand if the use of 3D models may…

Muh. Wahyudi Jasman; S. Sulisetijono; Susriyati Mahanal – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
Biology as an integral part of science learning continues to be maximized by integrating technology into its learning design. The definite manifestation of this integration process is to achieve meaningfulness, activeness, and effectiveness of the learning carried out. The flipped classroom (FC) is gaining popularity as a pedagogical model that…

Seixas Mello, Paula; Cotta Natale, Caio; Marzin-Janvier, Patricia; Vieira, Leda Quercia; Manzoni-de-Almeida, Daniel – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study is a follow-up to the analysis of an inquiry-based learning activity applied to students in a public university in Brazil. We advocate that an effective education in immunology must incorporate elements that are essential to research in the area, such as generating and analysing data. These elements would empower students to apply…

Carmen Edith Pazoto; Michelle Rezende Duarte; Edson Pereira Silva – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2023
Ocean literacy (OL) proposes to include ocean and marine environment-related content in school curricula. Such a topic has been deemed effective for citizens to develop actions and attitudes towards the health of marine ecosystems. This study aimed to verify the presence and frequency of OL principles and concepts in the Brazilian high school…

de Moura Silva, Gabriel; Lahr, Daniel J. G.; Silva, Rosana Louro Ferreira – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
In this article, we present how educational resources for zoology designed by undergraduate students help to propose means of action for teaching diversity and animal evolution in basic education. We realised that activities of creation and analysis of educational resources, in the context of didactic planning, have the potential to approximate…

Rolando, Luiz Gustavo Ribeiro; Salvador, Daniel Fábio; Vasconcellos, Roberta Flavia Ribeiro Rolando; Luz, Mauricio Roberto Motta Pinto Da – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2021
In the last decade different instruments were developed to empirically test the TPACK theoretical framework. The TPACK for Meaningful Learning survey was the first survey to obtain statistical validation for all seven predicted constructs. In the present work we used a version of the TPACK for Meaningful Learning survey adapted and validated in…

Tavares, Gustavo Medina; Bobrowski, Vera Lucia – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
The integrative role that Evolutionary theory plays within Biology is recognised by most scientific authors, as well as in governmental education policies, including Brazilian policies. However, teaching and learning evolution seems problematic in many countries, and Brazil is among those. Many factors may affect teachers' and students'…
