Lynn E. Krushinski; Thomas B. Clarke; Jeffrey E. Dick – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Electrochemistry plays a crucial role in our everyday lives. It allows us to power our phones and cars and allows for the real-time monitoring of blood glucose levels. While electrochemistry is of vital importance and is a long-established field of chemistry, it is often neglected in modern curricula for STEM courses. Herein, we show that hands-on…

Durkaya, Figen – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2023
In science class, students learn by making and living information, enabling them to make sense of knowledge effectively and permanently and to associate it with daily life. Applied science courses make learning more qualified. While science teaching is carried out in application areas such as laboratories, virtual laboratories are used with the…

Annie Regan; John O'Donoghue; Carl Poree; Peter W. Dunne – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Materials science research has expanded significantly in recent years; a multidisciplinary field, home to an ever-growing number of chemists. However, our general chemistry degree courses have not changed to reflect the rise in interest in this topic. In this paper, we propose a laboratory experiment for the undergraduate chemistry practical…

David N. Potier – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
As part of the current UK GCSE science curriculum, pupils need to use their understanding of science to answer questions about a series of core experiments. Problem-solving and applying knowledge to new situations is fundamental in enabling students to progress in science; however, many learners struggle to develop these skills. This can lead to…

Saowarux Fuangswasdi; Wanlapa Aeungmaitrepirom; Vanida Nilsom; Pritsana Ralakhee; Pumidech Puthongkham – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in early 2020, forced educational institutions in Thailand to chiefly rely on online learning during the government mandated lockdown for almost two academic years. Although migration to the online format seems to suit lectures, it is inadequate for laboratory courses since students could not do the experiment…

Julia A. Domenech; Renee M. Clary – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
Ventura, California's 2023 winter storm activity underscored the impact that runoff has on recreational water quality and public health. To examine public perception of stormwater runoff, coastal water quality, and community decision-making toward recreating in polluted water, an online survey of the Ventura River watershed community determined…

Lungile Philisiwe Gumede; Patricia Photo – Science Education International, 2025
This study pursues a twofold objective: first, to assess Physical Science teachers' knowledge in teaching at science centers, and second, to investigate their perceptions of their roles in facilitating teaching within these centers. Employing a qualitative case study method with interviews and observations, eight teachers voluntarily participated.…

Tahani Mohammad ALebous – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2025
This study investigates the impact of blended learning on developing scientific thinking skills and self-efficacy among pre-service classroom teacher students. An experimental pretest-posttest design was employed to achieve the study's objectives. Two research instruments were developed: a scientific thinking skills test comprising 20 items and a…

Eleanor R. Anderson; Jennifer Richards – Science Education, 2025
In this paper, we build on a growing body of research on practical measurement for educational improvement, contributing a conceptualization of the organizational functions of measurement in processes of persistence and change. Our work is grounded in theoretical understandings of micro-institutional change that foreground processes of…

Brian W. Miller – Journal of Experimental Education, 2025
Some researchers have theorized that emotions while reading science texts influence learning in a wholistic way, such that overall positive or negative affect leads to different learning outcomes. Other researchers have envisioned that emotions fluctuate during reading such that the degree of cycling impacts the learning outcomes. In this study,…

Niklas Karlsen; Ellen Karoline Henriksen; Katarina Pajchel – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
Programming and computational thinking have been introduced into the curricula of several countries, also in relation to science and technology education. Preparing pre-service teachers for using programming in science education is therefore an important and relevant task. The purpose of this article is to describe what knowledge may be relevant…

Meagan Sundstrom; Rebeckah K. Fussell; Anna McLean Phillips; Mark Akubo; Scott E. Allen; David Hammer; Rachel E. Scherr; N. G. Holmes – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] Research on nontraditional laboratory (lab) activities in physics shows that students often expect to verify predetermined results, as takes place in traditional lab activities. This understanding of what is taking place, or…

Robert Hayes – ProQuest LLC, 2023
As college biology educators we want students learning how to conduct their own scientific investigations. This means designing laboratory curricula in which students exercise control and responsibility over the knowledge building actions of an investigation--that is, in which they exercise "epistemic agency." Our current understanding…
