Pugh, Kevin J.; Kriescher, Dylan P. J.; Tocco, Audrey J.; Olson, Colton; Bergstrom, Cassendra M.; Younis, Maaly; BenSalem, Maha – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Drawing on transformative experience theory (Pugh, 2011) and in collaboration with high school science teachers, the authors developed an intervention (Seeing Science project) leveraging everyday mobile technology as a tool for integrating in-school and out-of-school experience. Students were instructed to take pictures when they noticed…

Jenny Byman; Kristiina Kumpulainen; Jenny Renlund – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2024
Based on an ethnographic study in a Finnish primary school, we explored lingering as both a pedagogical approach and a methodological concept for multispecies education research and practice. Through this conceptual thinking, we "re-turned" to the multiplicities that unfolded from noticing rhythms, enterings and different lifeworlds to…

Alex Morichon; Guillaume Dannhoff; Laurent Barantin; Christophe Destrieux; Igor Lima Maldonado – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Traditional teaching methods struggle to convey three-dimensional concepts effectively. While 3D virtual models and virtual reality platforms offer a promising approach to teaching anatomy, their cost and specialized equipment pose limitations, especially in disadvantaged areas. A simpler alternative is to use virtual 3D models displayed on…

Ling, Yizhou; Ye, Xia; Wang, Jingying – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
John Dewey's aesthetics subverts and transcends traditional aesthetics. He applied his empiricism philosophy into the field of aesthetics and re-established the significance of aesthetic experience. Aesthetic experience comes from daily experience; hence it is not fundamentally different from students' biological learning experience. Based on…

Alexander Kmet'; Anna Drozdi´kova´; Son?a Nagyova´; Peter Ikhardt – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Over the past few decades, the photographic process has slowly vanished from chemistry education in most schools. It happened due to vast changes in both technology and legislation. It is, however, helpful in demonstrating several concepts in natural sciences, bringing a bit of art into the subjects, and giving students an opportunity to express…

Kimberly R. Kelly; Claudine Maloles; Natalie George; Selah Mokatish; Savannah Neves – Science Education, 2024
Families commonly document their outings by capturing their experiences through digital photographs and videos. However, little is known about the ways in which families engage their personal mobile devices to document educational family outings and how they subsequently talk about the digital artifacts that captured their informal learning…

Cecilia Caiman; Britt Jakobson – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
The purpose of this article is to introduce a methodology for analyzing the complex configurations emerging in students' speech and drawing activities, having consequences for how and what students learn and make meaning of in science. Accordingly, we launch a methodology to unfold the multidimensional communication as to deepen the analysis of…

Cheung, Kason Ka Ching; Winterbottom, Mark – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Photomicrographs are major biological representations which help students understand more about the structures of cells and tissues. Owing to their abstract nature, students often rely on representations in textbooks to develop their understanding of photomicrographs. Purpose: This study investigated how students with low, medium and…

Mary Sever; Mark A. Young – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A laboratory experiment that exposes students to fundamental concepts in kinetics and statistical thermodynamics to study systems of great current interest in nanotechnology by employing a foundational technique in physical chemistry is described. A modified commercial flash photolysis spectrometer was used to study photoinduced isomerization…

Hannoori Jeong – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This exploratory research study examined how three South Korean families in the U.S. conceptualize museum-based science learning by exploring varied contexts in which they are embedded. In applying a sociocultural perspective, I investigated the families' backgrounds, views of school and museum learning, in conjunction with their virtual museum…

Greenslit, Jana; Price, Aaron; Malone, Tiffany – Journal of Museum Education, 2021
At the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, an annual art exhibition with no ties to science content provides an opportunity to explore how juxtaposing an art gallery experience within a science museum could impact audience engagement with science thereafter. Prior evidence suggests that art gallery-based workshops have value for science…

Mayer, V. V.; Varaksina, E. I. – Physics Education, 2020
For conducting laboratory experiments on Fresnel diffraction, the use of a simple point light source from an LED and the application of a modern smartphone for photographing the diffraction patterns are proposed. The developed devices allow the experiments to be carried out under normal laboratory lighting.

Erdogdu, Funda; Sengül, Özge Aydin – Journal of Learning and Teaching in Digital Age, 2023
This study aimed to determine the opinions of science teacher candidates about their experiences in the process by examining the effect of using Instagram in online learning environments on the sense of community. The study involved 41 teacher candidates, 21 in the experimental group and 20 in the control group. Convergent parallel design, one of…

Kristen Foley; Heather L. Petcovic; Steven Semken – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Virtual field experiences (VFEs) are augments to traditional fieldwork in the geosciences that are seeing increasing use in college courses. However, VFEs that are not easily located and implemented in courses by geoscience instructors have little to no value. This qualitative, descriptive study engaged five focus groups of U.S. college geoscience…

Lavonen, Liisa; Loukomies, Anni; Vartiainen, Jenni; Palojoki, Päivi – Education 3-13, 2022
The aim of this research was to examine the potential of project-based learning (PBL) and everyday life contexts in developing primary pupils' scientific and engineering practices. Multiple data were collected in a Finnish primary school class; pupils were aged 7-8 years. The pupils' practices and creation of artifacts were videotaped and analysed…
