Shirlene Carmo; Lui´s Miranda; Carlos Silva – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Excessive alcohol consumption in adolescence is a worldwide concern because of its numerous negative consequences. It also increases the chance of accidents and may lead to significant impairment of part of the brain, causing learning difficulties. The present work aims to present the development of a forensic educational kit composed of a…

Erdogan, Sukran; Bozkurt, Ersin – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2022
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of teaching through a virtual laboratory prepared using simulations teaching materials and that are based on constructivist thought about geometrical optics upon the students' academic success and their attitudes towards physics. Quasi-experimental pretest and posttest control groups was used…

Uzun, Emine – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2022
Cartoons are an effective alternative to create a rich learning environment that is visually and audibly equipped for students in an effective science education. It is of upmost significant for science teachers to possess the necessary knowledge, activity experience and equipment in order to carry out a qualified science teaching. Therefore, the…

Gallitto, Aurelio Agliolo; Battaglia, Onofrio Rosario; Cavallaro, Giuseppe; Lazzara, Giuseppe; Lisuzzo, Lorenzo; Fazio, Claudio – Physics Teacher, 2022
We describe an educational activity that can be completed with mobile media devices in order to understand the working principle of a pair of tuning forks, from the Historical Collection of Physics Instruments of the University of Palermo, and how they were used to explain acoustic interference and beats with the Lissajous optical method. This…

Persson, Rasmus A. X. – Physics Education, 2022
We consider the operation of the hypothetical mechanical vehicle driven by an engine powered by small rockets introduced by P D Hanstead in the inaugural volume of this journal. Hanstead arrived at three contradictory conclusions regarding the change in velocity should some of the rockets malfunction at a particular time. This thought experiment…

Tong Wang; Weiqun Wang; Jianye Wei – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Inquiry is one integral part of science learning. Understanding the underlining meaning and the complete procedures of inquiry-based laboratories would be beneficial to student teachers' future work. Therefore, it is necessary for student teachers to perform inquiry-based laboratories and know how to demonstrate them to school students. However,…

Schvartzer, Maayan; Elazar, Michael; Kapon, Shulamit – Science & Education, 2021
Many physics learners take the specific mathematical representations they are using as part of their learning and doing physics for granted. The paper addresses this problem by highlighting two goals. The first is to show how a historical investigation from history of science can be transformed into a concrete lesson plan in physics, in a physics…

Robert Walldén; Pia N. Larsson – Science Education, 2024
Although visual aids are widely considered a valuable source of scaffolding, the nature and active utilization of these aids in current science classrooms are not well understood. This qualitative study explores interaction in the teaching of concepts related to evolution, with a specific focus on a teacher's use of different visual support…

Angela Fellingham; Taslima H. Shuwara; Taina Saint Amand; Felicia Gunawan; Ahmed Elbediwy; Simon Gould – New Directions in the Teaching of Natural Sciences, 2024
The transition students face moving from Further Education (FE) to Higher Education (HE) can be a daunting experience. This transition to HE may require a substantial adjustment to a student mindset recognising that they would be responsible for their own learning and their eventual success compared to a FE environment where student learning is…

Ashish Katyal; Shibasish Chowdhury; Pankaj Kumar Sharma; Manoj Kannan – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
The Integrated Course Design (ICD), using Fink's taxonomy of significant learning, popularly known as ICD/SL, is a handy way to create a better learning environment for students. It is a learner-centered approach with the desired end-product, but at the same time, it upgrades the teaching by improving the instructors' delivery mechanism. Our goal…

El Janous, Youssra; El-Hassouny, Hassan; Laafou, Mohamed; Madrane, Mourad – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2022
As contemporary society evolves, technological revolutions are increasingly forcing academic and secondary institutions to adopt innovative strategies rather than traditional instruction. Therefore, the use of ICT in teaching is an active teaching method with proven effectiveness on learning outcomes and student motivation in life and earth…

Dazhi Tan; Wenjie Fan; Shao-Wei Wu; Di Zhang; Yan Mo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Applying the idea of green chemistry, we extended an esterification teaching experiment with isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid and reused isoamyl acetate in the transesterification reaction with KOH as the catalyst. As a result, isoamyl alcohol was produced and could be reused for the teaching experiment. The simplified experimental method achieved…

Sathyam Sheoratan; Ineke Henze; Marc J. de Vries; Erik Barendsen – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Design activities are gaining interest as rich contexts for learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. STEM teachers may find this challenging however, as designing requires support that they are not used to providing. In a subject like chemistry, teachers would have to balance creativity and responsibility for the…

Leon G. Higley; Phyllis M. Higley; Tierney Brosius – American Biology Teacher, 2024
Effective teaching requires the use of techniques and strategies to counter student passivity and enhance engagement. Research demonstrates that drawing improves memory retention, increases motivation to learn, provides an opportunity to learn what makes an image an effective communication tool, allows demonstration of conceptual understanding,…

Soon C. Lee; Anna Maria Arias – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
This study contributes to the growing body of research on the role of crosscutting concepts (CCCs) in three-dimensional teaching and learning by examining the complexity of elementary preservice teachers' (PSTs) knowledge for teaching related to CCCs. The researchers used qualitative methods to analyze PSTs' responses to a questionnaire about CCCs…
