Yonzon, Kulsum Chishti; Fleer, Marilyn; Fragkiadaki, Glykeria; Rai, Prabhat – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
Knowing how children become oriented to imaginary play can help educators in centres better support development. But how this begins in the first years of life is not well understood. How toddlers transform through their imagination concrete objects (such as play accessories, figurines, and books) to become props in play (placeholders and pivots)…

Erin I. Walsh; Will J. Grant; Ginny M. Sargent – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2024
With their increasing popularity, there is a need for more research clarifying the potential strengths and weaknesses of the comic format for education. The panelled comic format may be particularly effective for educating adults on the scientific aspects of processes (sequences of events, occurring over time, in a series of discrete steps). We…

Musarurwa David Chinofunga; Philemon Chigeza; Subhashni Taylor – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2025
Supporting students' problem-solving skills, solution planning and sequencing of different stages that are involved in successfully developing a meaningful solution to a problem has been a challenge for teachers. This case study was informed by reflective investigation methodology which explored how procedural flowcharts can support student…

Rachel A. Searston; Matthew B. Thompson; Samuel G. Robson; Jason M. Tangen – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2025
Visual inference involves using prior knowledge and contextual cues to make educated guesses about incomplete or ambiguous information. This study explores the role of visual inference as a function of expertise in the context of fingerprint examination, where professional examiners need to determine whether two fingerprints were left by the same…

Henry Matovu; Mihye Won; Roy Tasker; Mauro Mocerino; David Franklin Treagust; Dewi Ayu Kencana Ungu; Chin-Chung Tsai – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) can help students visualise and explore complex chemical concepts, such as protein enzyme structures and interactions. We designed a set of collaborative iVR-based learning tasks on the interaction between a protein enzyme and its substrate. We investigated how 18 pairs (36 students) in undergraduate chemistry…

Jennifer Charteris; Sue Gregory – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
Gendered power relations and cyber-objectification can be produced through Snapchat in schooling contexts. The research illustrates how social media circulates affect in an Australian high school setting. While "Snapchatting" can evoke joy, it can produce gendered inequities. This research details affective inequalities associated with…

Ellen Corovic; Sharyn Livy; Ann Downton – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
Semi-structured interviews are used to gain insights into participants' lived experiences and perspectives on issues, but they are open to subjectivity. To address this issue our study explored the combination of timeline graphic elicitation tools with semistructured interviews as an approach to gain insights into teachers' experiences of…

Melissa Joy Wolfe; Leanne Higham; Eve Mayes; Rachel Finneran – Gender and Education, 2024
This paper "becomes" a mapping of a PhEmaterialist research project, an apparatus entangled with re/making the world that applauds difference in education. Feeling-thinking-making with critical posthumanist work, we affirm that school climate matters and encourage educators' attention to the fluxing materiality of school climate created…

Matovu, Henry; Won, Mihye; Treagust, David Franklin; Mocerino, Mauro; Ungu, Dewi Ayu Kencana; Tsai, Chin-Chung; Tasker, Roy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Recent studies have reported a growing trend of using student-generated diagrams for assessment in science teaching and research. However, many educators tend to use diagrams to explore students' perceptions of scientists and their work rather than explore conceptual understanding of abstract concepts. In this study, we used diagrams to…

Joseph Paul Ferguson; Lihua Xu; Russell Tytler – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: In learning astronomy, students need to shift between 3D and 2D representations involving complex interactions between the body and material environment. Little attention has been paid to the iconic nature of this astronomical diagramming. Purpose: This research explored the value for students of diagramming to reveal the structural…

Tang, Kok-Sing – Research in Science Education, 2023
There is currently a lack of systematic study examining the integration of verbal-visual elements in science textbooks. In particular, few research has investigated how different types of visual representations (e.g. photograph, diagram, table) vary across the major written genres of science (e.g. information report, explanation). Based on the…

Ruth Wallace; Sally-Anne Doherty; Elizabeth J. Cook – Journal of Teaching and Learning for Graduate Employability, 2024
This practitioner reflection explores our integration of the Relational Employability Framework within the Health Research Project capstone unit of a Bachelor of Health Science degree. To address the historically low quality of student reflections, we incorporated image-based reflective activities to improve engagement and depth. These activities…

Unsworth, Len; Herrington, Michele – Research in Science Education, 2023
The significance of the role of students' interpretation and creation of multiple forms of representation in science learning has long been established and advocated, but there is a paucity of research into the extent to which this emphasis in science education is reflected in high stakes final year high school science examinations. This study…

Erika Spray; Natasha Kett; Nate Rutherford; Tess Rendoth – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Simulated learning environments have rapidly evolved in recent years and are gaining traction as an effective tool in teacher education (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership, 2023; Frei-Landau et al., 2023). This paper explores the use of virtual classroom simulation in initial teacher education at an Australian university. It…
