Michelle Reidel; Ariel Cornett; Erin Piedmont; Kania Greer; Betsy Barrow; Alex Reyes – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2025
By some estimates, over 1.2 billion tons of soil was blown across the Great Plains during the height of the Dust Bowl. The so-called "black blizzards" these massive dust storms caused suffocated cattle, sickened children, and destroyed thousands of family farms. Formerly prosperous farmers, unsure why they had such bad luck, wondered if…

Wayan Pudma Febby Mandalika; Woro Srihastuti; Irvan Syahrizal; Marwan – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2024
The learning model used by educators only transmits knowledge and does not provide opportunities for students to interact, causing them to lose time to develop their experience in the collaborative learning process. This research aims to improve collaboration skills by implementing a problem-based learning model in grade IV elementary school. The…

Hubbard, Jane; Russo, James; Sullivan, Peter – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2023
This article is based upon Peter Sullivan's (2021) structured inquiry approach to teaching mathematics, in which the authors take a deep dive into the technique of "Spotlighting" in the "Explore" phase of this model to assist in optimal learning experiences for students. Working from the premise that students are best placed to…

Kristin Zorn; Kym Fry; Kevin Larkin; Peter Grootenboer – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
Problems presented in mathematics classrooms often focus on routine tasks with students practicing mathematical techniques demonstrated by the teacher. However, this does not reflect the problem-solving process in the real world, and students often find it difficult to connect school mathematics with authentic contexts. This paper discusses…

Wang, Cixiao; Wang, Jingxin; Shi, Zhu; Wu, Feng – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Digital instructional tools, such as virtual manipulatives, have been widely adopted as an enhanced approach to inquiry-based learning. However, the optimal ratio of mobile devices to students in instructional settings remain controversial. This research introduced a counterbalanced quasi-experiment to compare the learning performance and…

Eileen G. Merritt; Andrea E. Weinberg; Candace Lapan; Sara E. Rimm-Kaufman – Grantee Submission, 2024
Energy concepts are taught in many schools, but children rarely have an opportunity to grapple with energy problems and work on their own solutions. This study explores the impacts of Connect Science, a service-learning (SL) program developed to enhance elementary students' energy literacy in the United States. Program impacts were explored within…

Palupi, Bening Sri; Subiyantoro, Slamet; Rukayah; Triyanto – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
The study aims to compare the effectiveness of Guided Inquiry Learning (GIL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. A number of prior studies have implemented the GIL model for a limited area such as science. Similar to the PBL learning design, the previous studies that highlighted the application of GIL model was commonly targeted to find out…
