The advent of data science has led to statistics education researchers re-thinking and expanding their ideas about tools for teaching statistical modeling, such as the use of code-driven tools at the secondary school level. Methods for statistical inference, such as the randomization test, are typically taught within secondary school classrooms…

Warren, David S.; Sutherland, Sam P. H.; Kao, Jacqueline Y.; Weal, Geoffrey R.; Mackay, Sean M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Samples of a composite hydrogel incorporating clay (Laponite XLG and S-482) nanoparticles were prepared using N-isopropylacrylamide. The hydrogels were formed via a radical-initiated addition polymerization using potassium persulfate and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine. Students then measured the force required to stretch the gels and…

Developing students' scientific literacy requires teachers to use a variety of pedagogical approaches including video as a form of instruction. In addition, using video is a way of engaging students in science ideas not otherwise accessible to them. This study investigated the merit of video clips representing scientific ideas in a secondary…

Williams, P. John; Nguyen, Nhung; Mangan, Jenny – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2017
This paper presents a case study of a teacher's experience in implementing an inquiry approach to his teaching over a period of two years with two different classes. His focus was on using a range of information technologies to support student inquiry learning. Data was collected over the two year period by observation, interview and student work…

Australian and New Zealand universities commenced a new academic year in February/March 2020 largely with "business as usual." The subsequent Covid-19 pandemic imposed unexpected disruptions to anatomical educational practice. Rapid change occurred due to government-imposed physical distancing regulations from March 2020 that…

Thought-Experiments about Gravity in the History of Science and in Research into Children's Thinking
Blown, E. J.; Bryce, T. G. K. – Science & Education, 2013
This article examines the main strands of thinking about gravity through the ages and the continuity of thought-experiments, from the early Greeks, through medieval times, to Galileo, Newton and Einstein. The key ideas are used to contextualise an empirical study of 247 children's ideas about falling objects carried out in China and New Zealand,…

Hume, Anne; Coll, Richard – International Journal of Science Education, 2008
This paper reports on the reality of classroom-based inquiry learning in science, from the perspectives of high school students and their teachers, under a national curriculum attempting to encourage authentic scientific inquiry (as practiced by scientists). A multiple case study approach was taken, utilising qualitative research methods of…

FLANDERS, NED A. – 1960
THE SPONTANEOUS BEHAVIOR OF A TEACHER AND HOW THIS BEHAVIOR AFFECTS LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM WERE INVESTIGATED. INDEPENDENT VARIABLES IN THE STUDY WERE DIRECT TEACHER INFLUENCE, AND THE NATURE OF THE SPECIFIC LEARNING TASK. THE DEPENDENT VARIABLES WERE THE ACTUAL MEASURES OF LEARNING, INCLUDING AWARENESS OF FACTS, APPLICATION OF PRINCIPLES TO…

Wang, Weili; Coll, Richard K. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2005
Experimental physics is seen as an essential part of tertiary physics education. Students are supposed to develop practical skills and advance from closed "cookbook" experiments to open experiment and design experiment procedures independently. As a consequence tertiary practical physics courses increase in the level of challenge…

Duke, Benjamin C., Ed. – Office of Education, US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 1963
The primary purpose of this project was to compile, translate, and publish educational media research material from the major Asian countries and to make that information available in the United States. Educational media research and experimentation is interpreted to include experimental programming, testing, evaluation, and use of all the newer…
