Ola Nordqvist; Anders Jidesjö – Science & Education, 2024
There is a substantial literature in science education research showing that many students experience a lack of relevance in science education. For this reason, science teachers' selection of content and the way content is treated when exposed to students for learning purposes is an important part of the problem. In this connection, research show…

Rosanne Magarelli – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The purpose of this proposed quantitative, ex post facto, comparative study with a pretest-posttest design was to assess gains in overall Critical Thinking (CT) skills, and particularly in the Hypothetical-deductive Reasoning (HDR) skills, for pre-health college students tested before and after a Critical Analyses in Science course they attended…

Siti Roudlotul Hikamah; Riza Rulloh; Devi Nurkholisoh; Tubagus Sholihin; H. Hariyanto – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
Waste, a byproduct of human activity, can cause environmental pollution if released without proper processing. It can accumulate in piles, disturbing natural beauty and emitting unpleasant odors. The aim of this research is to from the students to care about the environment by learning with the Bubble Wrap Recycling Project, Used Plastic and…

Großmann, Leroy; Krüger, Dirk – Science Education, 2024
Lesson planning is a core part of teachers' professional competence. Written lesson plans play a significant role in science teacher education as a preparation for demonstration lessons during the final teacher certification exam. However, the few existing scoring rubrics on lesson plans are not particularly theoretically sound and are barely…

Melek Karaca; Oktay Bektas; Fulya Öner Armagan; Dürdane Tor – Psychology in the Schools, 2024
Preservice teachers' self-regulation skills are key to being role models to their students in gaining this affective skill. The study aims to develop a structural equation model (SEM) that shows the relationship between preservice science teachers' perceived role modeling and self-regulation skills. This study has been conducted using the…

Critiquing arguments is important for K-12 science students to learn but not emphasized by the predominant claim-evidence-reasoning (CER) argumentation model. Drawing on the work of Yu and Zenker (2020), and Dove and Nussbaum (2018), we developed a tool for supplementing CER with critical questions (CQs) from philosophy that cover most, if not…

Evolution is the integrative framework of the life sciences. Even though the topic is often not formally introduced before high school, young children already have various ideas about evolutionary principles (variation, inheritance, and selection) and their underlying key concepts (e.g., differential fitness, reproduction, and speciation).…

Danijela Dodlek; Gorazd Planinsic; Eugenia Etkina – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Research carried out through the last 20 years gave us undeniable evidence that to learn anything we need to be active participants, not passive observers. One of the important aspects of learning physics is constructing explanations of physical phenomena. To support and guide students toward constructing their explanations, teachers need to be…

Julian Shu Kai Goh; Ramya Chandrasekaran; Srinivasa Rao Sirasanagandla; Sanchalika Acharyya; Sreenivasulu Reddy Mogali – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Plastination, a permanent preservation method for human tissues and organs, is increasingly being used in anatomy education. However, there is a paucity of systematic reviews and meta-analyses summarizing the educational efficacy of plastinated specimens. This meta-analysis compared the assessment scores of students exposed to plastinated…

Especially within the light of the current loss of biodiversity, we want our students to gain a better understanding of the issues at stake in order to take action and support plants and their pollinators. Many educational approaches focus on honeybees, disregarding the vast diversity in the context of pollination systems and the complex…

Till Schmäing; Norbert Grotjohann – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Modern, student-oriented teaching can be characterized by the promotion of autonomy and interest. In the school subject of biology, it is necessary to focus on different ecosystems from different aspects. One ecosystem that has hardly been considered in biology didactics so far is the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea. Therefore, this study…

Leslie D. Gonzales; Penny A. Pasque; Kyle D. Farris; Jordan M. Hansen – Review of Educational Research, 2024
Epistemic injustice is a condition where knowers and knowledge claims are unduly dismissed. Philosophers suggest that epistemic injustice manifests in three forms: testimonial, hermeneutical, and contributory. Although distinct, all forms of epistemic injustice stem from relations of power, privilege, and positionality -- where some have the…

Elizabeth B. Cerkez – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Specifications Grading was implemented in a multisection upper-level analytical chemistry laboratory, the first reported for a full lab course redesign in the discipline or in an upper-level chemistry lab class. The primary goals of the redesign were (1) to assess student proficiency of three separate goals: techniques, data quality, and written…

Online learning environments have become increasingly prevalent in higher education, necessitating an understanding of factors influencing student engagement. This study examines the mediating role of self-regulated online learning in the relationship between five-factor personality traits and student engagement among university students. A sample…

Sumalatha Peddi; Jacob R. Franklin; C. Scott Hartley – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Chemical reactions that mimic the function of ATP hydrolysis in biochemistry are of current interest in nonequilibrium systems chemistry. The formation of transient bonds from these reactions can drive molecular machines or generate materials with time-dependent properties. While the behavior of these systems can be complicated, the underlying…
