Sarah Kieferle; Iztok Devetak; Jane Essex; Sarah Hayes; Marina Stojanovska; Rachel Mamlok-Naaman; Silvija Markic – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Approaches for inclusive science teaching currently tend to focus on only one dimension of diversity at a time. This neglects the fact that diversity is multidimensional in nature, and the consideration of only one dimension of diversity can yield inclusive practices with limited scope. Therefore, the goal of the project "Diversity in Science…

Jacques, Lorraine A. – Open Journal for Educational Research, 2020
Problem solving follows a cycle of inquiry where the individual iterates between finding possible paths and exploring their likely effectiveness before selecting one as a possible solution. The cycle is enhanced through proximal processes because the number of paths that can be explored in depth are greater when more people work on the same…

Saleh, Asmalina; Yuxin, Chen; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy E.; Glazewski, Krista D.; Mott, Bradford W.; Lester, James C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
Collaborative inquiry learning affords educators a context within which to support understanding of scientific practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts. One approach to supporting collaborative science inquiry is through problem-based learning (PBL). However, there are two key challenges in scaffolding collaborative inquiry…
