Hery Fajeriadi; Muhammad Zain; D. Dharmono; Bimo Aji Nugroho; F. Fahmi; Antung Fitriani – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
Developing learning tools based on local potential is necessary because it directly relates to students' daily lives. One of them is a Popular Science Book (PSB), which highlights the potential of gastropods in coastal areas as a subject for observing biodiversity. The implementation of assessments and the value of students' critical thinking…

Capobianco, Brenda M.; Radloff, Jeffrey; Lehman, James D. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
As elementary schools across the U.S. continue to adopt new science education reform, attention is needed to understand how teachers make sense of using engineering design to teach science in their classroom settings. This study examined fourth-grade teachers' sense-making with learning to integrate engineering design-based science instruction and…

Coskunserçe, Ozan – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2021
In studies on the use of robotic in science education, students are generally expected to design and program robots in specially designed robotic laboratories and during extracurricular activities. Although researchers claim that the student-centered approach and active student participation is more effective, teachers generally have to apply…

Winarno, Nanang; Rusdiana, Dadi; Riandi, Riandi; Susilowati, Eko; Afifah, Ratih Mega Ayu – Online Submission, 2020
The current trend in science learning leans more towards interdisciplinary (integrated) learning. Before 1989, several studies reviewed articles related to integrated science. However, research discussing articles on integrated science from 1996 until the present day is not yet available. The purpose of this study was to review 36 empirical…

Amedee Marchand Martella; David Klahr; Weiling Li – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
"Active learning" has been used to describe classrooms that have varied widely with respect to instructional topics, age of learners, and the procedures used to operationalize the general notion of the term. In most cases, the specific variant of active learning under investigation has been more effective than the particular control used…

LeGresley, Sarah E.; Delgado, Jennifer A.; Bruner, Christopher R.; Murray, Michael J.; Fischer, Christopher J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Here we demonstrate the benefits of a new curriculum for introductory calculus-based physics that motivates classical mechanics using a modified version of Hamiltonian mechanics. This curriculum shifts the initial focus of instruction away from forces and the associated vector mathematics, which are known to be problematic for students, to the…

Brookes, David T.; Ektina, Eugenia; Planinsic, Gorazd – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Curriculum Development: Theory into Design.] This paper discusses the theoretical framework and curriculum materials that form the basis of the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) approach to learning and teaching physics. ISLE, as a philosophical approach to learning, has two core…

Smith, Janette; Nadelson, Louis – School Science and Mathematics, 2017
Preparing elementary-level teachers to teach in alignment with the eight Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) practices could prove to be a daunting endeavor. However, the process may be catalyzed by leveraging elements of teacher science instruction that inherently attend to the practice standards. In this study, we investigated the science…
