Cha, Jeongho; Kan, Su-Yin; Chia, Poh Wai; Chia, Poh San – Asian Journal of University Education, 2022
One of the challenges that science teachers face is the lack of strategy/method to train students in data collection and developing analytical skills, which are pre-requisites to resolve socio-scientific problems and an important element in scientific literacy. In this activity, the SWOT analysis proposed by the Stanford Research Institute in the…

Jones, Thomas J.; Ehlers, Todd A. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
The need for geoscience students to develop a quantitative skillset is ever increasing. However, this can be difficult to implement in university-style lecture courses in a way that is both manageable for the instructor and does not involve lengthy, potentially repetitive, question sheets for the students. Here, a method for teaching dimensional…

Tytler, Russell; Ferguson, Joseph; White, Peta – Learning: Research and Practice, 2020
Increasingly, learning in science and mathematics is considered in terms of induction into the multimodal language practices of the disciplinary community. A strong strand of research in this tradition has involved students being challenged to invent multimodal language forms, and their ideas refined through structured guidance. Often, however,…

C. F. J. Pols; P. J. J. M. Dekkers; M. J. de Vries – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
This small-scale, qualitative study uses educational design research to explore how focusing on argumentation may contribute to students' learning to engage in inquiry independently. Understanding inquiry as the construction of a scientifically cogent argument in support of a claim may encourage students to develop personal reasons for adhering to…

Pierratos, Theodoros – Physics Education, 2021
Due to the conditions imposed worldwide by the pandemic, students' access to school laboratories is limited, if not impossible. To provide students with raw experimental data to assess, analyse and reason out, we have filmed experiments that can be used in a flipped classroom. This paper presents an experiment which makes use of an array of six…

David Ross Hall; Jessica C. D’eon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemistry is increasingly data centric and the undergraduate curriculum needs to adjust to keep up. To address this, we created the "Air Quality Activity," a new first-year undergraduate activity where students use Microsoft Excel to analyze a unique subset of atmospheric ozone (O[subscript 3]) and nitrogen dioxide (NO[subscript 2])…

Marcus Kubsch; Sebastian Strauß; Adrian Grimm; Sebastian Gombert; Hendrik Drachsler; Knut Neumann; Nikol Rummel – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Recent research underscores the importance of inquiry learning for effective science education. Inquiry learning involves self-regulated learning (SRL), for example when students conduct investigations. Teachers face challenges in orchestrating and tracking student learning in such instruction; making it hard to adequately support students. Using…

Marcus Kubsch – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Energy is a central concept across the sciences and an important goal of science education is to support all students so that they develop a full understanding of the energy concept. However, given the abstract and complex nature of the energy concept, only a few students develop an understanding so that they can use energy ideas to make sense of…

Eser, Mehmet Taha; Çobanoglu Aktan, Derya – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2021
By applying educational data mining methods to big data related to large-scale exams, functional relationships are discovered in a basic sense and hidden pattern(s) can be revealed. Within the scope of the research, to show how the self-organizing map (SOM) method can be used in terms of educational data mining, how SOM differs from other…

Wang, Cong; Liu, Xiufeng; Wang, Lei; Sun, Ying; Zhang, Hongyan – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Assessing scientific argumentation is one of main challenges in science education. Constructed-response (CR) items can be used to measure the coherence of student ideas and inform science instruction on argumentation. Published research on automated scoring of CR items has been conducted mostly in English writing, rarely in other languages. The…
