Lin, Xiao-Fan; Tang, Dandan; Shen, Weipeng; Liang, Zhong-Mei; Tang, Yaner; Tsai, Chin-Chung – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
This study examines the correlations between perceived technology-assisted teacher support; student hardiness (i.e. individual commitment, challenge, and control); and technology-embedded scientific inquiry (TESI) using a mediational model approach. Data were gathered from the series of questionnaires administered to 1566 Chinese students with an…

Rappleye, Jeremy; Komatsu, Hikaru – Comparative Education, 2020
Educational scholars, particularly those working in comparative education, have largely failed to recognise, let alone discuss, the impending finite-ness of global resources. The field continues to operate on an assumption of infinite resources, an implicit cultural horizon in place since at least the Western Enlightenment. It has missed the…

Tovar-Moll, Fernanda; Lent, Roberto – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2016
Education is a socially structured form of learning. It involves the brains of different players--students, teachers, family members, and others--in permanent interaction. The biological set of mechanisms by which these brains receive, encode, store, and retrieve mutually exchanged information is called "neuroplasticity". This is the…

Sørensen, Mads P.; Bloch, Carter; Young, Mitchell – European Journal of Higher Education, 2016
In 2013, the European Union (EU) unveiled its new "Composite Indicator for Scientific and Technological Research Excellence." This is not an isolated occurrence; policy-based interest in excellence is growing all over the world. The heightened focus on excellence and, in particular, attempts to define it through quantitative indicators…

Sharova, Irina; Dzedzyulya, Ekaterina; Abramycheva, Irina; Lavrova, Alena – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
The article reflects undertaken worldwide steps to build the bioeconomy. Bioeconomy is a set of industries, from the point of view of economy, and a plurality of cross-industry research, in terms of global science. All this leads to difficulty in understanding the boundaries of bioeconomy, developing within the traditional economies. The article…

Herrick, Imogen R.; Sinatra, Gale M.; Lombardi, Doug – Science Teacher, 2023
There has never been a more pressing need for students to learn how to evaluate scientific information online than during the COVID-19 outbreak. Information, misinformation, and disinformation spread quickly across online news and social media platforms. This misleading or incorrect scientific information about infectious diseases could lead to…

Tansey, Etain A.; Johnson, Christopher D. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2015
Thermoregulation is the maintenance of a relatively constant core body temperature. Humans normally maintain a body temperature at 37°C, and maintenance of this relatively high temperature is critical to human survival. This concept is so important that control of thermoregulation is often the principal example cited when teaching physiological…

Pekdemir, Esadiye – International Technology and Education Journal, 2018
Known and used extensively worldwide, Google Scholar is an search engine offered by Google that specifically enables academics and students alike to conduct academic and scientific research. In this sense, it is important that we investigate how researchers and academics view Google Scholar, as well as look not only how they use it and the issues…

Hendrich, Suzanne; Licklider, Barbara; Thompson, Katherine; Thompson, Janette; Haynes, Cynthia; Wiersema, Jan – Journal of Food Science Education, 2018
A one-credit seminar on controversies in food science and human nutrition was a platform to introduce students to learning frameworks for thinking-like-a-scientist. We hypothesized that explicitly engaging students in thinking about their thinking abilities within these frameworks would enhance their self-perception of scientific thinking, an…

Williamson, Ben; Pykett, Jessica; Nemorin, Selena – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2018
Recently, technologies based on neuroscientific insights into brain function and structure have been promoted for application in education. The novel practices and environments produced by these technologies require new forms of "biosocial" analysis to unpack their implications for education, learning and governance. This article…

Stone-Roy, Leslie M. – HAPS Educator, 2018
Undergraduate research experiences are valuable, yet can be difficult for students to obtain. Working on open-ended research questions enables students to develop problem-solving skills, increase communication skills, enhance critical thinking, and help define career goals. Unfortunately, some students are unable to find positions in research…

White, Janis H.; White, Rick C. – Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences, 2018
Ellen Swallow Richards is traditionally cited as the founder of family and consumer sciences (FCS). A chemist, she drew from her root discipline, applying its concepts to the needs of the family and the individual. Much of what she advocated was based on the work of mid-19th century German chemists, particularly Justus von Liebig. Before Richards…
