Download full textChuang Chen; Siti Nazleen Abdul Rabu; Nurullizam Jamiat – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Integrating virtual laboratories (VLs) with science education promotes inquiry-based learning by providing an interactive, dynamic environment in which students actively engage with scientific concepts. While previous research highlights the effectiveness of VLs as tools in the IBL process, few studies have embedded the entire inquiry process…

Direct linkSugat Dabholkar – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This dissertation is about designing learning environments that foreground students' epistemic agency as they "do science" in a science classroom. I build on the prior work that combines two important strands in learning sciences - agent-based modeling of complex systems and constructionism to design learning environments. I call such…

Richter, Juliane; Lachner, Andreas; Jacob, Leonie; Bilgenroth, Friederike; Scheiter, Katharina – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Engaging students in computer-assisted guided inquiry learning has great potential to scaffold their scientific understanding: Students are expected to improve their scientific problem-solving skills, and at the same time gain a deep conceptual understanding of the subject-matter. Additional generative activities such as creating video…

Gobert, Janice D.; Kim, Yoon Jeon; Sao Pedro, Michael; Kennedy, Michael; Betts, Cameron – Grantee Submission, 2015
Many national policy documents underscore the importance of 21st century skills, including critical thinking. In parallel, recent American frameworks for K-12 Science education call for the development of critical thinking skills in science, also referred to as science inquiry skills/practices. Assessment of these skills is necessary, as indicated…

Hodgson, Yvonne; Choate, Julia – Advances in Physiology Education, 2012
The Finapres finger cuff recording system provides continuous calculations of beat-to-beat variations in cardiac output (CO), total peripheral resistance, heart rate (HR), and blood pressure (BP). This system is unique in that it allows experimental subjects to immediately, continuously, and noninvasively visualize changes in CO at rest and during…

Eskrootchi, Rogheyeh; Oskrochi, G. Reza – Educational Technology & Society, 2010
Incorporating computer-simulation modelling into project-based learning may be effective but requires careful planning and implementation. Teachers, especially, need pedagogical content knowledge which refers to knowledge about how students learn from materials infused with technology. This study suggests that students learn best by actively…

Yuretich, Richard F. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2003
Active learning promotes higher-level reasoning, and it can be achieved in large classes without wholesale changes in class format. Applicable methods include in-class mini-investigations, robust multiple-choice exam questions, online quizzes or review, and cooperative learning, particularly during exams. Data gleaned from observing student…

Peer reviewedDori, Yehudit J.; Yochim, Jerome M. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 1994
A studyware comprising a set of interconnected modules on human physiology has been developed and used to improve undergraduate students' achievements. Study results show the scores of students who used the optional computer laboratory sessions were enhanced over those who did not use the studyware. Presents examples from the modules. (LZ)
