COVID-19 has changed about every aspect of life including how we teach in higher education. Laboratory experiments vital for learning hands-on techniques are limited due to social distancing requirements and increased numbers of distance-learning students. The solution to loss of hands-on activities has been to compensate with virtual laboratory…

Elise J. Cain; Mete Akcaoglu; Kristen Wright; Alexandria Dobson; Taylor Elkins – Journal for STEM Education Research, 2022
Despite its increasing importance in today's society, STEM learning opportunities in rural areas are limited. Factors such as limited learning resources and experiences may negatively impact students in rural areas in developing interest for STEM subjects, and eventually STEM careers. In this qualitative study, our purpose was to understand how…

Alma Pisabarro-Marron; Carlos Vivaracho-Pascual; Esperanza Manso-Martinez; Silvia Arias-Herguedas – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: A successful activity based on the scavenger hunt (SH) game is presented here. Although "serious game" in education now seems synonymous with videogame, the effectiveness of hands-on traditional games to increase student performance that, besides, they also like is defended and proved. The proposal is not focused, as is…

Chirinda, Brantina, Ed.; Sibanda, Lwazi, Ed.; Vere, Joseph, Ed.; Sunzuma, Gladys, Ed. – Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2023
Historical and current educational perspectives are epistemologically challenging to weave together. The contributors brought together in this book have risen to that challenge and, in the process, have produced a detailed and thorough account of the issues and processes at play. Science, Mathematics, and Technology (SMT) education is recognised…

Koyunlu Ünlü, Zeynep; Dökme, Ilbilge – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The first purpose of this systematic review is to describe how empirical studies on the applications of the 5E instructional model are distributed according to certain variables. The second purpose is to determine how the 5E model has shown a trend in empirical studies in the transition from inquiry-based teaching to STEM education over the years…

Bhargava, Rahul; Brea, Amanda; Palacin, Victoria; Perovich, Laura; Hinson, Jesse – Educational Technology & Society, 2022
Data literacy is a growing area of focus across multiple disciplines in higher education. The dominant forms of introduction focus on computational toolchains and statistical ways of knowing. As data driven decision-making becomes more central to democratic processes, a larger group of learners must be engaged in order to ensure they have a seat…

Mallas, Andreas; Xenos, Michalis – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
Merging the content of learning with the motivation of games can be a successful combination, if done properly and supported by the appropriate tool. Towards this goal, we developed Diagram[character omitted]atic an environment used to gamify the in-classroom activity of designing diagrams during a lecture. Using Diagram[character omitted]atic the…
