Providing students with feedback on their performance is a critical part of enhancing student learning in chemistry and is often integrated into homework assignments, quizzes, and exams. However, not all feedback is created equal, and the type of feedback the student receives can dramatically alter the utility of the feedback to reinforce correct…

Jiawen Xiang; Caiqin Han – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Nature of science (NOS) has been a target of interest for decades. The main goal of this study is to explore the impact of the science, technology, society, environment (STSE) approach on students' understanding of NOS, taking "Galileo's study of free-fall motion" as an example. Participants in this study were 350 students of grade 10…

Meng-Tzu Cheng; Wen-Chi Chou; Mei-En Hsu; Fu-Chung Cheng – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
There have been growing calls for inquiry, a practice-oriented way of engaging students in authentic scientific work, yet research has shown some challenges that might impede inquiry practices in educational settings. In this study, we proposed an approach that blends educational gaming with physical experiments. We developed an educational game,…

Yafeng Zheng; Xue Bai; Yang Yang; Chang Xu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
This study examined the impact of integrating virtual science inquiry activities with Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) teaching strategies on 5th graders' understanding of science concepts and epistemic beliefs in science. A cohort of 80 5th graders (mean age of 12 years old, 40 boys and 40 girls) from a public primary school in North China took part…

Lida T. Klaver; Laurence J. F. Guérin; Patrick H. M. Sins; Juliette H. Walma van der Molen – Journal of Educational Research, 2024
Engagement with socioscientific issues (SSI) is seen as an important citizenship goal of SSI-based science education. In this experimental study, Dutch students (age 8 to 13) participated in lesson series in which they learned about and discussed SSI, such as issues related to the textile industry and wastewater. Attitudes toward SSI indicating…

Improving achievement in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is essential for elevating individual success and solving societal challenges. Yet national and international assessments paint a poor picture of students' STEM competencies (NAEP, 2019; OECD, 2018). An untapped avenue to improve STEM education lies in developing…

The retention disparities in undergraduate degree attainment are a persistent problem within the United States, especially for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), first-generation and low-income students, and women (referred to as marginalized groups in STEM [MGS] hereafter) pursuing STEM degrees. The following exploratory article…

Bellocchi, Alberto; Davis, James; Mills, Reece; Arthars, Natasha; Appanna, Subhashni – Teaching Science, 2022
Science curriculum and pedagogy offer ideal avenues for teaching young people the critical thinking skills they need to live in a post-truth world. Drawing on the theory of epistemic cognition, we present a selection of research-based pedagogies that have been shown to be effective in developing school students' understanding of knowledge and how…

Voss, Sarah; Kruse, Jerrid; Kent-Schneider, Isaiah – Research in Science Education, 2022
Explicit-reflective nature of science (NOS) instruction has demonstrated a positive impact on student learning. Although explicit-reflective NOS instruction often consists of questions that draw students' attention to NOS ideas, there are few recommendations in the science education literature about how the form of these questions might inform NOS…

Das, K. Rohini; Antony, M. Jinish – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
For the present lab demonstration, we have developed fluorescent indicators to detect the end point in microscale redox titration of ferrous ions in permanganometry, cerimetry, and dichrometry. Microscale redox titrations were carried out effectively in micromolar(µM) concentrations and semi-microvolumes of the analytes. At the end point,…

Horikoshi, Ryo; Shirotani, Dai; Shioyama, Hiroshi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Buckminsterfullerene (C[subscript 60]), along with diamond and graphite, appears in many chemistry textbooks as an example of an allotrope of carbon. This communication describes a hands-on activity to explore the characteristic structure of C[subscript 60] through the construction of a structural model using transistors and plastic tubes…
