This research aims to examine: (1) how Physics teachers who participated in a STEM project, adopted and implemented a STEM activity in the context of a pandemic; (2) from the perspective of Physics teachers, what were the effects on students' learning of a STEM activity implemented in the context of the pandemic; and (3) what challenges had…

This qualitative study explores the experiences of 10 faculty members who developed and taught an online course that they had previously taught in a face-to-face classroom. The categories from the data analysis included planning, implementation, and reflection. Within the categories, eight themes emerged from the data. The themes addressed…

Background: Most policy doctrines promote the use of scientific inquiry in the K-12 classroom, but good inquiry is hard to implement, particularly for schools with fiscal and safety constraints and for teachers struggling with understanding how to do so. Purpose: In this paper, we present the design of a multi-user virtual environment (MUVE)…
