Peer reviewedElizabeth K. Carlson; Andrine A. Shufran; Emily A. Geest – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2025
Entomology is a foundational subject in the sciences and is often required in curriculum standards for K-12 education because insects allow students to learn about animals in a controlled way. As a result, entomology education is a common yet frequently overlooked aspect of academic learning. To better understand the role an interactive insect…

Relative Effects of Classroom Utility Value Intervention on the Science Motivation of Girls and Boys
Shin, Dajung Diane; Lee, Minhye; Jung, Seoyeon Julie; Bong, Mimi – Research in Science Education, 2023
Emerging evidence attests to the need to intervene in young students' science motivation and achievement before their science motivation starts to dwindle. Heeding this call, we implemented a science utility value intervention for fifth and sixth graders in 23 classrooms (N = 550). Through five intervention sessions that consisted of diverse…

Anugrah Ramadhan Firdaus; Asep Samsudin; Ari Widodo – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2023
An important goal of science education is for students to understand the nature of science. Science education has raised the question of what science is, how scientific knowledge is developed and how people participate in this process under the conceptual umbrella of 'nature of science' (NOS). This study aims to look at the effectiveness of the…

The current evidence base for outdoor and nature-based education in a context of education for sustainability is limited and unrepresentative of the realities of small, urban schools, which tend to be characterised by small outdoor spaces devoid of nature. To address this research gap, we carried out two studies in Malta, as an example of a…
