Education is based on a process that attempts to profile individual behavior via learning. Although this process includes formal and informal dimensions, it could be suggested that both dimensions are effective on the behavior of the individual. Several factors affect the educational process. These variables are significant determinants that…

Direct linkZhang, Tan; Wang, Yubing; Yli-Piipari, Sami; Chen, Ang – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2021
Purpose: It is argued that the constructivist physical education has the potential to overcome socioeconomic (SES) constraints and promote learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which school SES-related class environmental factors influenced student learning in a constructivist physical education context. Methods:…

Minshew, Lana Marie; Barber-Lester, Kelly Johnson; Derry, Sharon J.; Anderson, Janice L. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2018
It is difficult to explore and understand how student knowledge develops with regard to complex systems, such as ecosystems. This study proposes the use of a Knowledge in Pieces(KiP) framework to analyze student knowledge and development in the domain of life sciences. The aim was to utilize quantitative and qualitative analyses of student…

Hendy, Mohamed H. – Online Submission, 2017
There are many learning theories that have come to explain how people process, think, learn, and apply information. Among those theories are contextualism, connectivism, constructivism, and cognitivism. Those four theories have been taken as references of the current proposed Hendy's 4Cs (contextualizing, connecting, constructing, cognitivizing)…

Blikstein, Paulo; Fuhrmann, Tamar; Salehi, Shima – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2016
In this paper, we investigate an approach to supporting students' learning in science through a combination of physical experimentation and virtual modeling. We present a study that utilizes a scientific inquiry framework, which we call "bifocal modeling," to link student-designed experiments and computer models in real time. In this…

The Effect of Using Hendy's 4Cs Model on Teaching and Learning Science in Middle School in Mid-Egypt
Hendy, Mohamed H. – Online Submission, 2016
Educational research and practice have proven that there are many benefits for applying learning theories' recommendations through teaching and learning of different subjects in all school levels. Based on interrelationships among learning theories of contextualism, connectivism, constructivism, and cognitivism, the researcher proposed an…

Kauffman, Theresa Rose – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Researchers have found that positive relationships in schools can impact student achievement, and researchers in brain imaging have connected emotion centers in the brain to the learning process. However, current practice in schools reflects a lack of understanding of the impact of relationships in the classroom on learning from a student…

Saunders-Stewart, K. S.; Gyles, P. D. T.; Shore, B. M.; Bracewell, R. J. – Learning Environments Research, 2015
Student outcomes of inquiry-based teaching and learning were explored through student-report. Participants were six teachers and their 181 students in grades 9 through 12. Classes were categorized by level of inquiry (least, middle, and most). A student-administered questionnaire assessed the extent to which the three groups experienced 23…

Lelliott, Anthony – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2014
This paper examines the knowledge construction processes involved when grades 7 and 8 South African students learnt about the concept of gravity while visiting an astronomy-related science centre. The literature on students' understanding of gravity identifies a number of alternative conceptions prevalent, several of which are mirrored in this…
