Emily Rose Seeber; James P. Spillane; Xiaoyu Yin; Christa Haverly; Weiyu Quan – American Educational Research Journal, 2024
Reforming instruction is challenging. In this comparative case study of 12 school districts, we investigated the dilemmas that emerged for system leaders as they engaged in system building for elementary science and the approaches leaders took in managing them. We found that system leaders' efforts to manage their environments contributed to the…

Léonie J. Rennie – Teaching Science, 2024
The Australian Curriculum Science has "Patterns, Order and Organisation" as one of its six Key Ideas. In the biological sciences, the structural patterns revealed by observing living things are used to order and organise them in a hierarchical system of binomial nomenclature, in which living things have a generic name and a specific…

Gayle Geschwind; Micol Alemani; Michael F. J. Fox; P. S. W. M. Logman; Eugenio Tufino; H. J. Lewandowski – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Physics education research (PER) is a global endeavor, with a wealth of work performed at a variety of institutions worldwide. However, results from research into undergraduate physics laboratory courses are often difficult to compare due to the broad variations in courses. We report here how we developed and validated a survey to classify these…

Alfanisa Dwi Pramudia Wardani; Wirawan Fadly; Juan David Martinez Zayas – Journal of Science Learning, 2024
One of the points of science learning is to extend students' competence, counting problem-solving and analytical thinking. Conditions within the field appear that most students encounter trouble in fathoming relevant issues including the application of science concepts in real-world circumstances. This condition appears the require for compelling…

Lucas Vasconcelos; Cory Gleasman; Duygu Umutlu; ChanMin Kim – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Science teachers have been urged to use emerging technologies, such as robots, in ways that empower K-12 students as active participants responsible for their learning and knowledge development within the scientific domain. And yet, little is known about whether the use of robots effectively supports students' epistemic agency in science learning.…

Gunes Keskin Cevik; Hikmet Surmeli – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Learning about the Earth through geoscience education is important in order to make informed decisions about the future of the Earth. The aim of this study is to examine students' conceptual development on geoscience subjects based on inquiry-based learning. 7th grade students participated in this study. The researcher prepared lesson plans and…

Dhabih V. Chulhai – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
We present a tool, one that is both a stand-alone web-based video game and a Python package, designed for students to explore a particle's wave function on one-dimensional potential surfaces. The tool relies on a basis set formalism and can, therefore, explore any one-dimensional potential surface imaginable. This tool also lets students interact…

José Luís Araújo; Isabel Saúde – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly shaping our society. Among various AI tools, ChatGPT stands out for its user-friendly nature and wide accessibility to the public. However, despite their countless potential benefits, these tools also face significant challenges, especially in sensitive areas like Education. In this…

Shalaunda M. Reeves; Charlotte A. Bolch; Richard T. Bex II; Kent J. Crippen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Recently, interest in understanding the prospects of virtual environments, specifically virtual reality laboratories (VR Lab) -- those that involve a first-person practica experience via a desktop computer or head-mounted display -- in science education has increased. Seemingly ingrained in the process of implementing a VR Lab is a supposition of…

Junk, Peter C.; Bacsa, John; Thomas, Nicholas C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Potassium tris(oxalato)ferrate(III) trihydrate is a commonly prepared coordination compound in general or upper-level chemistry laboratories and can be recycled to grow large single crystals that instructors may display when introducing the experiment to classes. Showing the crystal's shape can also be used to briefly introduce students to X-ray…

Dieguez, Gisselle; Karpenkopf, Jonathan; Labrador, Aaron; Gimenez, Ludmila; Guerra, Julian; Fulton, Jack; Walecki, Wojciech J. – Physics Teacher, 2021
Although ripple tanks have been used in the past to perform wave simulations for electromagnetic and acoustic phenomena, especially before the advent of computers, they are still often used to demonstrate wave propagation in high school and college physics classrooms. Usually ripple tanks have a rectangular shape. The wave propagating through the…

Sithole, Alec; Chiyaka, Edward T.; Mabwe, Kumbirai – Higher Education Studies, 2022
Our study evaluates students' approaches to and perceptions of the use of hands-on at-home laboratory kits (HALK) experiments, open-source computer-based simulations (OSCBS), and their combination (OSCBS-HALK) in undergraduate introductory asynchronous online physics courses. Anonymous survey data from students who had completed online physics…

Philip, Rachel – Science & Education, 2022
India's National Science Talent Search (NSTS) examination (1963 to 1976) was imagined and implemented by some top scientists of the period. It aimed to identify "talented" secondary school students with an aptitude for science and mathematics. Selected students attended undergraduate summer schools, did research in special labs during…

Zhdanov, Arsenii; Pyay, Anna – Physics Teacher, 2022
Mobile phones are a widely used platform for educational apps, mobile health, and a variety of chemical tests. Here, we are working on a mobile phone-based physics lab (mPhysics) that uses a mobile phone's capabilities to run simple physics experiments and demonstrations. While a mobile phone can be used to analyze magnetic and optical properties…

dela Cruz, Thomas Edison E.; Olayta, Carlo Oliver M. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Citizen science is a research collaboration between scientists and volunteers who provide data for education, conservation, and environmental protection. Volunteers, often the locals in the area, provide data on species occurrence while researchers perform distribution mapping or other data analysis. Social networking sites including Facebook,…
