Apedoe, Xornam S.; Ellefson, Michelle R.; Schunn, Christian D. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2012
As the use of project-based learning becomes more frequent in the K-12 science classroom, and in chemistry classrooms in particular, teachers have begun to identify practical questions about implementation that should be addressed empirically. One such question concerns whether there is an ideal group size that fosters individual student…

Rye, James; Landenberger, Rick; Warner, Timothy A. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
The concept map tool set forth by Novak and colleagues is underutilized in education. A meta-analysis has encouraged teachers to make extensive use of concept mapping, and researchers have advocated computer-based concept mapping applications that exploit hyperlink technology. Through an NSF sponsored geosciences education grant, middle and…

Houle, Meredith E.; Barnett, G. Michael – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2008
The emerging field of urban ecology has the potential to engage urban youth in the practices of scientists by studying a locally relevant environmental problem. To this end, we are developing curriculum modules designed to engage students in learning science through the use of emerging information technology. In this paper, we describe the impact…
