Pallant, Amy; Lee, Hee-Sun; Pryputniewicz, Sara – Science Teacher, 2012
Systems thinking suggests that one can best understand a complex system by studying the interrelationships of its component parts rather than looking at the individual parts in isolation. With ongoing concern about the effects of climate change, using innovative materials to help students understand how Earth's systems connect with each other is…

West, John B. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2011
A complete course of respiratory physiology suitable for first-year medical and graduate students has been placed on the Web for our own students and for other educational institutions. There are several reasons for doing this. The first is that the modern-day student uses a variety of options for acquiring knowledge. These include attending…

Martinez, F.; Herrero, L. C.; de Pablo, S. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
Project-based learning (PBL) and cooperative learning are, in various aspects, very superior education methodologies compared to other traditional ones. They are highly appropriate methodologies for elective courses, as they exert a strong attraction on the students, quite apart from their educational advantages. This paper describes how PBL and…

So, Winnie Wing Mui; Ching, Fiona Ngai Ying – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2012
This paper discusses the creation of learning environments with online resources by three primary school teachers for pupil's learning of science-related topics with reference to the resource-based e-learning environments (RBeLEs) framework. Teachers' choice of contexts, resources, tools, and scaffolds in designing the learning environments are…

Francis, Krista; Jacobsen, Michele – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2013
Math is often taught poorly emphasizing rote, procedural methods rather than creativity and problem solving. Alberta Education developed a new mathematics curriculum to transform mathematics teaching to inquiry driven methods. This revised curriculum provides a new vision for mathematics and creates opportunities and requirements for professional…

Doubleday, Eldridge G.; O'Loughlin, Valerie D.; Doubleday, Alison F. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2011
An increasing number of instructors are seeking to provide students with online anatomy resources. Many researchers have attempted to identify associations between resource use and student learning but few studies discuss the importance of usability testing in resource design and modification. Usability testing provides information about ease of…
