Elif Atabek-Yigit – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
A new perspective on chemistry learning could be the optimal learning moment of view based on flow theory. Optimal learning moments (OLMs) that occur when students experience high levels of interest, challenge, and skill at the same time were investigated in this study. Participants of the study were 47 pre-service science teachers. Data were…

Peiyao Tian; Yanhua Fan; Daner Sun; Ye Li – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
In upper-secondary chemistry education, the concept of 'Amount of Substance' occupies a central position within the computation framework. However, comprehending this concept often poses a challenge for students. To address this issue, our study aimed to design and implement a computation skills test to assess the varying levels of students'…

Maia Masamoto; Courtney Stevens; Lucas Ettinger – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Despite attempts to diversify healthcare workplaces and education, racial and ethnic minorities (REM) remain underrepresented in these fields. This study investigated changes in high school students' health science interest following a single exposure, hands-on anatomy laboratory visit. One hundred and eighty-eight high school students…

Marilyn Rowell; Megan Ennes; Brian Abramowitz – Connected Science Learning, 2024
Scientist-led K-12 outreach offers many benefits to scientists, teachers, and students; however, many of these programs are top down rather than collaborative. Our team facilitated a museum-based scientist-teacher partnership to co-design a lesson on shark biology for middle school students. Following the implementation of the lesson, we conducted…

Pascal Kaneza; Jean Baptiste Nkurunziza; Innocent Twagilimana; Thumah Mapulanga; Anthony Bwalya – Cogent Education, 2024
Hands-on experiments and teacher-based demonstrations are two standard teaching methods in secondary school when teaching chemistry in the laboratory. The available literature on these two teaching methods focuses on students' academic achievement. Most of this literature reports inconsistent results, and few studies examined teachers' and…

Yunita Arian Sani Anwar; Muti'ah Muti'ah; Yuli Kusuma Dewi – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
This research reports on implementing the integrated laboratory work to achieve effective learning in the biochemistry course. The integrated laboratory work includes three stages: pre-laboratory, lab work, and post-laboratory. In other words, the three stages include planning, implementing, and evaluating investigation activities in the…

Anne-Line Bjerknes; Terese Wilhelmsen; Emilie Foyn-Bruun – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2024
Disagreement exists about how to best spark young children's motivation to learn natural science. Both curiosity and wonder are considered important motivational factors for learning during early childhood (0-8 years). This systematic literature review explores research about scientific curiosity and wonder in early childhood education and care…

Johan Nelson; Clas Olander – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This study investigated meaning-making of arrows in a representation of the greenhouse effect among 14-year-old secondary school students. Data was generated during Biology lessons where 74 students discussed how they interpreted a representation from the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, which is an NGO that produce school material. The…

Rieke Ammoneit; Maximilian Felix Göhner; Tom Bielik; Moritz Krell – Science Education, 2024
Definitions of modeling competence in science education do not yet include noncognitive factors. However, noncognitive factors are central to competence and might thus substantially improve our understanding of modeling competence. In this article, we analyze volition during preservice science teachers' engagement with a black-box modeling task…

Kenneth Harrington; Hunter Nelson; Jordon Ockey; Austin Gibson; Jamie Jensen – American Biology Teacher, 2024
Students with religious beliefs often find it difficult to accept the theory of evolution. It is important that educators feel comfortable addressing student questions on the compatibility of evolution and religion. We designed an online professional development course that taught the foundational principles of both evolution and religion in order…
