Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation are always a challenging topic for students studying metabolism. We had adopted blended learning in metabolism teaching and evaluated the learning experiences of students. In this project, a pre-class learning aid the "Story Mode" and a post-class learning aid the "Revision…

Contribution: An innovative approach utilizing interactive software paired with stereoscopic projection hardware is introduced to enhance the teaching and learning of solid-state physics. This method is distinctive for its integration of complex 3-D visualizations directly into classroom instruction, facilitating a deeper understanding of abstract…

Thermodynamic processes are often presented in so called P-V diagrams and the processes are often isobaric, isochoric, isothermal, and adiabatic. The purpose of the qualitative research reported here was to explore students' reasoning and interpretation of P-V diagrams that were presented by the help of GeoGebra. The research group had 15 students…

During the 1960s, Edgar Dale published the concept that learners are likely to retain more information if they see and hear information rather than just listen. Therefore, many educational applications have been created for students to learn theoretical concepts through visuals and in an interactive manner. Microsoft (MS) Excel has been used in…

Science education literature has highlighted socio-scientific issues (SSI) as an effective pedagogy for teaching science in a social and political context. SSI links science education and real-world problems to engage students in real-world issues, making it ideal for teaching global climate change (GCC). Additionally, technological advances have…

This study used traditional and holographic video, along with eye-tracking technology, to examine how preservice teachers' physical act of looking is associated with how they attend to and assess students' fraction reasoning. Findings revealed that, although viewing of holograms may have influenced more focus on students' work area, there was…

The purpose of this study was to examine prospective teachers ' uses of diagrams and approaches to congruence while solving proof tasks. Eight prospective high school mathematics teachers were given three proof tasks to solve at the beginning and end of a mathematics education course. The course used the history of mathematics as the context for…

Two of the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP) in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM; NGA Center and CCSSO 2010), "Look for and use structure" (SMP 7) and "Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning" (SMP 8), are particularly abstract and sometimes clear only in the mind. For a given…

When teachers first wrap their heads around scientific modeling, it can be a bit tricky to distinguish scientific models from diagrams and three-dimensional models. If a fifth grader draws and labels a food web, it's a model. Right? Not necessarily. When creating a model, students should be representing a system inspired by an inquiry or…

In this article, the authors present the use of digital tape diagrams--implemented using GeoGebra (2001) dynamic mathematics software--as a support to static diagrams to pose and solve proportional reasoning tasks. They show how dynamic sketches can allow students to explore standard tasks in proportional reasoning in ways that emphasise…

The problem in studying geometry for students with normal hearing and hearing impairment is that when studying geometry, it does not only require analytical presentations but also visual presentations related to spatial visualization abilities. This problem is getting worse during the pandemic, in which teaching and learning had to be done online.…

A digital instructional game with embedded multimedia was believed not limited to allowing the learner to visualize chemistry concepts while playing but enable them to collect relevant information that connects the understanding of the other. The subject was described as a core science area with multiple macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic…

Presentation documents have been increasingly used not only as supplementary presentation materials but also as contents for investigative learning. In learning a presentation document, learners generally need to select a number of slides from the document, which describe what they want to learn or should learn. However, it is not so easy to find…

As digital educational media use becomes more widespread, an opportunity exists to develop new methods to present abstract ideas to provide a more meaningful learning experience. Drawing from psychology and dynamic visualization research, new interactive tools can be thoughtfully designed but it is also necessary to establish how these media are…

Today's scientific texts are complex and multimodal. Due to new technology, the number of images is increasing, as is their diversity and complexity. Interaction with complex texts and visualizations becomes a challenge. How can we help readers and learners achieve multimodal literacy? We use data from the audio description of a popular scientific…
