Luyima, Jimmy; Sentongo, John; Walimbwa, Michael – Educational Research: Theory and Practice, 2023
Science process skills are the backbone of science, and innovations in this field. It is critical to inculcate such skills among learners at their early stages of learning science. This study reports on how using the mobile phone WhatsApp-supported instructional resources resulted in improvement in students' science process skills in chemistry, in…

Shannon L. Niceley – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Zoos have been under attack by animal rights groups for decades. Despite significant reforms to improve animal welfare in accredited zoos and aquariums across North America, and significant participation in animal conservation efforts globally, these attacks persist. If zoos are to continue long-term, they need to establish themselves as community…

Durak, Benzegul; Topçu, Mustafa Sami – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
Recent research suggests that integrating model-based learning and socioscientific issue based instruction helps students construct meaningful learning in science classrooms. Thus, this paper presents a unit plan that integrates model-based learning and socioscientific issues. The focus of the unit is the white butterfly which is a local pest. A…

Osborne, Kristy – Teaching Science, 2023
The aim of this research is to take a fresh look at the physical science concepts that Year 3 students struggle with. In this work, the responses of over 8,000 middle-primary-aged students to a range of physics, space science and chemistry questions were evaluated. The questions covered a number of topics ranging from selecting and using simple…

Samuelsson, Christopher Robin; Ho, Felix M.; Elmgren, Maja; Haglund, Jesper – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
This study adds to the growing body of research on laboratory work. The study involves four pairs of students in a university introductory calorimetry lab of which two pairs, the IR-pairs (infrared camerapairs), were given access to infrared cameras to use however they liked during their course lab work. Two other pairs, the T-pairs…

Doval, Alejandro; de la Fuente, Raul – Physics Teacher, 2023
In this paper, we discuss a demonstration we have been performing for years with students from different levels, from physics students from our university to high school students in some talks aimed at encouraging them to study science. It provides visualization of Brewster's angle in an ingenious way using a "loaded" liquid crystal…

Song Wang – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The central focus of my dissertation concerns the issue of representation. The issue of representation is important for science education research for two reasons: (1) the use of external representation in science teaching and learning, particularly in chemistry education, is ubiquitous as microscopic entities are not directly visible, and (2) the…

O'Brien, Lisa M.; Ford-Connors, Evelyn; Gatling, Anne; Boyle, Elizabeth; Copelas, Kristina; Langenfeld, Margaret – Reading Teacher, 2023
Science texts tend to privilege the voices, perspectives, and practices of White males (e.g., Ford, 2006), reinforcing widely-held perceptions of scientists as White men. This narrow portrayal of who "does science" discourages BIPOC or female students from building a science identity (Archer et al., 2015), with many such students also…

Bethany Wolters; Hannah Angel; Isaac Lepcha – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
During the COVID-19 pandemic, preexisting soil science laboratories were redesigned for self-guided learning (SGL). The SGL laboratories occurred on-campus during the fall 2020 semester in two introductory soil science courses at the University of Tennessee at Martin and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Students carried out the…

Maggie Ludwig; Joseph K. West – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A straightforward protocol for the preparation of the colorful and air-stable diphenyl ditelluride is described. In one laboratory session, students isolate their product and characterize it via melting point determination, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy ([superscript 1]H, [superscript 13]C{[superscript 1]H}, and [superscript…

Holly D. Bendorf; Gricelda Arredondo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In this laboratory experiment, first-semester organic chemistry students use mechanistic reasoning to propose possible outcomes for the reaction of vanillin isobutyrate with a hydride source. The students subsequently run the reaction, isolate the product, and acquire its infrared spectrum. The experiment provides students with the opportunity to…

Ying-Nan Zhao; Jia-Cong Fu; Peng-Yu Zeng; Shi-Long Wei; Chang-Xu Lin; Kai Li; Shuang-Quan Zang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemical kinetics is a branch of physical chemistry that constitutes an essential part of undergraduate education. In general, a complex and expensive experimental apparatus is indispensable for observing the kinetics of a chemical process owing to the continuity of chemical reactions. Thus, intuitive visualization of the chemical kinetics using a…

Fagbeyiro, Benedict O. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of this quantitative study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the LearnEd Notebook curriculum when used with two groups of eighth-grade African American male students in teaching science. More specifically, the researcher sought to determine if there was a correlation between the utilization of the LearnEd Notebook Science curriculum…
