Hands-on courses utilizing preserved human tissues for educational training offer an important pathway to acquire basic anatomical knowledge. Owing to the reevaluation of formaldehyde limits by the European Commission, a joint approach was chosen by the German-speaking anatomies in Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) to find commonalities among…

There are relatively few studies examining cooperative learning during laboratory activities in a science museum. This study aims to explore such activities to better understand the nature of cooperative learning, if any, in that setting. The participants in this study were 60 fourth-grade students who visited a science museum lab as part of a…

Hands-on activities promote interest in engineering, but their use in primary education is under pressure due to doubts about their effect on learning. Based on the Challenge Point Framework, we hypothesized that an adaptive approach in which a pupil starts with tasks at its level of prior knowledge would raise the learning results of hands-on…

Background/purpose: One of the skills that students had to master in science learning was science process skills. However, there has not been much research examining these skills in elementary schools, especially those related to practicum guides integrated with local wisdom. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a science…

The adoption of STEM hands-on activities in classrooms should not only focus on artefact building but also aim at helping students construct conceptual knowledge. For achieving such goal through teachers' professional development, this study proposed a practice-based design. The design provided a dual-focused STEM hands-on activity which aimed at…

Sustaining a broad diversity of plants is key for a sustainable future. For instance, providing a variety of flowering plants in urban and agricultural landscapes mitigates the current decline of pollinators and biodiversity in general. Therefore, educating about the diversity of flowering plants has high current relevance for biology and…
