Wendy Simms; Marie-Claire Shanahan – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
This study qualitatively explored the process of student environmental identity development (sEID) within the highly social and structured context of elementary school science. Social practice theory was used as the lens to distinguish the dimensions of sEID that were visible during a curriculum-based, in-school program focused on the issue of…

Barb Bennie; Richard A. Erickson – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Effective undergraduate statistical education requires training using real-world data. Textbook datasets seldom match the complexities and messiness of real-world data and finding these datasets can be challenging for educators. Consulting and industrial datasets often have nondisclosure agreements. Academic datasets often require subject area…

María Esther Téllez-Acosta; Andres Acher; Scott P. McDonald – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Learning to plan modeling-based investigations (MBIs) presents significant challenges for pre-service elementary teachers. Although they understand disciplinary core ideas and modeling practices, they address both as competing learning goals and, as novices, they have not experienced how to structure MBIs for their future students. In the context…

Thumah Mapulanga; Yaw Ameyaw; Gilbert Nshogoza; Anthony Bwalya – Discover Education, 2024
Teachers' reflections on their practice are a powerful tool for measuring and supporting their professional knowledge. Pedagogical content knowledge is one of the most influential domains of teacher professional knowledge. This multiple-case study investigated the topic-specific pedagogical content knowledge (TSPCK) components that Zambian…

Reza Ruhbani Amarulloh; Viqhi Aswie – Science Education International, 2024
This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the use of virtual reality in science education over three decades (1993-2023). The method involved data from Google Scholar-indexed publications using Publish or Perish with keywords related to "virtual reality" and" education" over the past 3 decades. Nine hundred and…

Rayza Rosa Tavares Rodrigues; Daniel B. King – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Mixed results have been reported on the correlation between clickers and performance. This study investigates the usage of clickers in a voluntary context to answer in-class questions in a General Chemistry class. Scores on an internal chemistry placement exam were used to estimate cognitive ability, as a factor that students can no longer…

Magdalena Kersting; Tamer G. Amin; Elias Euler; Bor Gregorcic; Jesper Haglund; Liv Kondrup Hardahl; Rolf Steier – Science & Education, 2024
Bodily engagement with the material and sociocultural world is ubiquitous in doing and learning science. However, science education researchers have often tended to emphasize the disembodied and nonmaterial aspects of science learning, thereby overlooking the crucial role of the body in meaning-making processes. While in recent years we have seen…

Sahar Vali – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This qualitative practice-based study explores the efficacy of reformed-based science teaching approaches in fostering meaningful student engagement within elementary science classrooms, framed within the science-as-practice paradigm. Utilizing three theoretical frameworks, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Ambitious Science…

Alexis Henshaw – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Some in our discipline have recently voiced the opinion that political science is a data science. What follows from this argument is that we as instructors are training the next generation of data scientists, especially professionals and researchers who will work with big data. This paper explores the implications for political science education,…

Enhancing Teaching Effectiveness in Biochemistry Labs: Author Reflections and Improvement Strategies
Maurizio Costabile; Bradley Simpson; Jasmina Turkanovic; Bernard P. Hughes – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
This article details the outcome of a joint reflective approach undertaken by the authors to identify common difficulties experienced by 2nd-year undergraduate Biochemistry students in laboratory classes. Difficulties experienced in laboratories can affect the development of hand skills, an understanding of how to correctly operate laboratory…

Simeen Sattar – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Lakes are artists' pigments made from colorants bound to an inert substrate, usually hydrated aluminum oxide. Before the late 19th century, lakes were made from natural pigments extracted from plants and insects, extracted either directly from the dyestuff or indirectly from waste materials generated in the manufacture of dyed textiles. The first…

Davor Cotoras – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
The utilization of computer simulators in university education is progressively being embraced to offer students a practical exposure to industrial bioprocesses. Bioreactor computer simulators hold various advantages over conventional laboratory experiments, such as cost-effectiveness and enhanced safety. The research objective is to assess the…

Kudakwashe Mamutse – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2024
Science teaching and learning is facing a new dilemma. It has to move from its old perception of science as a purely positivistic and value-free enterprise into regarding it as what it really is: a value-laden human endeavour characterised by historical, cultural, social and political parameters. Science teachers now have to deal with ethical, and…

Mjege Kinyota; Jackson Kajungu – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
This is an analysis of how scientific literacy (SL) is featured in the science education pipeline of Tanzania based on the SL frameworks of five arguments (economic, utility, democratic, social and cultural) and three visions (Visions I-III). It analyses four curriculum documents for science in basic education, and the views of 79 pre-service…

Yilmaz Soysal – Science & Education, 2024
This multiple case study describes error-reaction patterns (ERPs) in middle school science lessons. Twenty-seven science teachers' reactions to student errors were explored in terms of four aspects of classroom discourse: talk move, discursive purpose, communicative approach, and patterns of interaction. Two hundred ninety-six error-reaction…
