Bruckermann, Till; Greving, Hannah; Schumann, Anke; Stillfried, Milena; Börner, Konstantin; Kimmig, Sophia E.; Hagen, Robert; Brandt, Miriam; Harms, Ute – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
In citizen science (CS) projects, citizens who are not professional scientists participate in scientific research. Besides serving research purposes, CS projects provide participants opportunities for inquiry-based learning to promote their topic-specific knowledge and scientific reasoning skills. Previous research suggests that participants need…

Teter, Ken – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide an efficient mechanism to provide many students with an original research project. CUREs often culminate in a capstone poster presentation, but reports on these classes usually focus on the preparation and execution of the project rather than communication of the results. This article…

Erdogan, Sükran – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2023
The theoretical framework and conceptual framework help to determine the purpose of scientific research, facilitate the analysis of data, organize the thoughts of researchers, increase the reliability of research, and ensure that research is shared in a wide area. Although these two concepts seem to be basically the same, they have structural…

Eglash, Ron; Bennett, Audrey – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2023
The term "freethinking" originated in the 17th century to describe inquiry into beliefs which were accepted unquestioningly. Feminists such as Mary Wolstonecraft, abolitionists like Frederick Douglass, and novelists such as Mark Twain and Zora Neal Hurston are among the many who dared to simultaneously challenge religious dogma,…

Critical Thinking, Epistemological Beliefs, and the Science-Pseudoscience Distinction among Teachers
Alkis Küçükaydin, Mensure; Esen, Seher; Çite, Hakan; Geçer, Sümeyra – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
This study used the structural equation model to examine teachers' scientific epistemological beliefs, critical thinking skills, and beliefs about the distinction between science and pseudoscience. The study involved 730 teachers from 26 different subjects in different regions of Türkiye. Descriptive analyses showed a significant relationship…

Kayyali, Mustafa – Online Submission, 2023
University rankings have become an increasingly important aspect of academia in recent years. These rankings, which evaluate universities based on a variety of factors such as research output, graduation rates, and reputation, provide valuable information for students, educators, and policymakers alike.

Alessandro Ramploud; Silvia Funghi; Maria Mellone – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2023
How do teachers relate to the "conflicts" that exist between scientific research findings and school institutional demands? Starting with a "provocative" statement by a primary school teacher, we interviewed eleven teachers asking them to express their opinions on this statement. Based on Brown's rereading of the four…

Christine Preston; Yaela Golumbic; Ciara Kenneally; Thant Sin Phway; Larissa Braz Sousa; John Martin; Peter Rutledge; Alice Motion – Teaching Science, 2023
This article reports on initial findings from "Learning By Doing," a citizen science research project funded by a NSW DOE Strategic Research Grant. Our study aimed to understand the process of integrating citizen science into schools, the perceived outcomes and impacts for students, and ways to evaluate citizen science projects. In this…

Heather D. Vance-Chalcraft; Randall Etheridge; Michael O’Driscoll; Ariane Peralta; Clark Andersen; Fiona Freeland; Joi P. Walker – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2023
Collaborative teamwork is fundamental to successful research and is a desirable skill set for employers. Yet students receive little training in how to effectively work in teams. This article presents the preliminary design and implementation of course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in biology, geology, and environmental…

Andrea A. Perla; Sara Hollar; Katy Muzikar; Jane M. Liu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The use of primary literature can be an effective way to expose students to the scientific research process. At the same time, primary literature can be intimidating to many students, particularly those with limited exposure to science research. The CREATE (consider, read, elucidate hypotheses, analyze and interpret the data, and think of the next…

Chia-Yu Wang; Yu-Chi Tseng; Shu-Sheng Lin; Shu-Chiu Liu; Alan Reid; Martha C. Monroe – Environmental Education Research, 2024
This study uses bibliometric techniques to explore the international knowledge base on climate change education (CCE), which considers education as crucial for addressing the climate emergency through fostering climate-literate citizens. Analyzing two decades of scientific literature on CCE, we identify evolving considerations, foci, trends, and…

N. Tayyibe Ate; Nurcan Tekin – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2024
The proliferation of digital information technologies has underscored the heightened necessity for online information search. This study is directed towards the analysis of the strategies adopted by prospective teachers in the selection of digital content employed for accessing information, their preferences concerning the use of digital and…

Amanda Benedict-Chambers; Carrie-Anne Sherwood – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Designing and analyzing lesson plans is a ubiquitous practice in teacher education, and yet we know little about how preservice teachers (PSTs) notice elements of their lesson plans that afford opportunities for supporting equitable student sensemaking. We investigate how the use of a tool, a framework for supporting equitable sensemaking, guided…

Alessandro Siani; Maria Joseph; Claudiu Dacin – Discover Education, 2024
In the current post-truth era, the ability to assess the reliability of information is an essential citizenship attribute. With nearly half of the present internet traffic estimated to be generated by bots, and misinformation being regularly weaponised by numerous parties for economic or political gain, it is imperative that citizens are equipped…

Tulli Ariyaratne; Valarie Akerson – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2024
Several Nature of Science (NOS) studies have been conducted on different categories of professionals and different age groups. Even though NOS is considered a structural facet of scientific literacy, not much research has been conducted on the NOS ideas of scientists and science professionals. This crosssectional study investigated the nature of…
