Sanz, Cecilia; Coma-Rosello, Teresa; Aguelo, Antonio; Alvarez, Pedro; Baldassarri, Sandra – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: This article proposes and applies a new systemic 3-D model and a methodology for empathy awareness and development, integrating different partial approaches found in the literature for developing empathy as a transversal competence. Background: Empathy is a competence linked to collaboration and teamwork. Perspective taking (PT) is…

Morris, Steven L. – Physics Teacher, 2023
The relativistic addition of velocities is usually introduced early in the study of Einstein's special theory of relativity. The equations are simple enough, but randomly chosen velocities lead to unwieldy calculations that can dishearten the student. This paper presents tables of velocity components in two dimensions, composed of five or fewer…

Williams, Hollis – Physics Teacher, 2023
A key concept in current fluid dynamics and its applications to biology and technology is a phenomenon known as wetting. Wetting is familiar from everyday life and is simply the ability of a liquid to stay in contact with a solid surface. The wettability depends on the properties of the liquid and the solid and can be characterized by the static…

Sokolowski, Andrzej – Physics Teacher, 2023
Transfer of structural math knowledge to physics is difficult for students. While research suggests various improvement techniques, enhancing parallelism of algebraic structures used in physics to those studied in mathematics courses seems underrepresented. This paper proposes an alternative way of introducing wave functions as a set of parametric…

Kortemeyer, Gerd – Physics Teacher, 2023
Simulations can provide opportunities for engaged exploration in physics teaching and learning. Beyond the two-dimensional world of screen-based simulations, abstract concepts like vectors (for example, of electric fields) can frequently be visualized better in a three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) environment. These visualizations can be…

Cheng, Siwei – Sociological Methods & Research, 2023
One of the most important developments in the current era of social sciences is the growing availability and diversity of data, big and small. Social scientists increasingly combine information from multiple data sets in their research. While conducting statistical analyses with linked data is relatively straightforward, borrowing information…

Yi Zou; Xinyu Xue; Lizhen Jin; Xiao Huang; Yanbing Li – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
In recent years, developing students' knowledge integration of specific topics through effective teaching methods has been a concern in science education. This study explored an alternative teaching method, which aims to help lower secondary school students develop their knowledge structure about buoyancy towards a logically integrated conceptual…

Bailey M. Von der Mehden; Eric M. Pennino; Heather L. Fajardo; Catherine Ishikawa; Kelly. K. McDonald – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) are attractive solutions for scaling undergraduate research experiences at primarily undergraduate teaching institutions, where resources for faculty research activities can be limited. The Sustainable Interdisciplinary Research to Inspire Undergraduate Success (SIRIUS) project is a unique…

Lekelia D. Jenkins – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Existing processes for academic peer review can yield unnecessarily harsh critiques that focus on any vulnerability rather than constructive feedback to improve the work. Efforts to improve the peer-review process recommend training at the graduate level. This article describes the Modified Critical Response Process (MCRP) as a means to achieve…

Nika Hogan; Emily Daniell Magruder; Silvana McCormick – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2023
This article presents a community of practice (CoP) designed to help California State University and California Community College STEM faculty implement active, equity-centered pedagogical changes. Using the Reading Apprenticeship framework as a foundation, the CoP focuses on text-based metacognitive conversations to facilitate students' authentic…

Jr. Joseph Tele Isaac – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Initiatives geared toward broadening participation in computing research have addressed the longstanding underrepresentation of various populations - including women, Black people, Latinx people, and persons with disabilities. Although there has been an increase in underrepresented populations participating in computing, building upon these…

Lee, Hyejeong; Closser, Florentina; Alghamdi, Khadijah; Ottenbreit-Leftwich, Anne; Brown, Matthew; Koressel, Jacob – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2023
This study aims to examine the current experiences of high school students in computer science (CS) courses and the factors that motivated them to continue their future enrollment. The participants were 603 high school students in grades 9 through 12 in Indiana, all of whom enrolled in at least one CS course during the 2020-2021 academic year.…

Kozanitis, Anastassis; Nenciovici, Lucian – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2023
A previous meta-analysis found that active learning has a positive impact on learning achievements for college students in STEM fields of study. However, no similar meta-analyses have been conducted in the humanities and social sciences. Because major dissimilarities may exist between different fields or domain of knowledge, there can be issues…

Southern, Deborah E.; Posselt, Julie R.; Harris, Lora; Garza, Corey; Parrish, Julia K. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Community-based research models hold potential to change who conducts geoscience research, its relevance to the public, and how researchers may begin to address historical injustices. However, this potential is contingent on such projects being led in ways that meaningfully and equitably bridge the worlds of scientists and community stakeholders.…

Ewa M. Burchard – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This study focuses on undergraduates' preparation for college level courses. In recent international PISA results United States students fall behind seventeen countries on the computer-based reading proficiency test. They have scored low for over a decade, in spite of spending more than one hundred-thousand dollars per student on education. This…
