Identity Exploration for Maker Educators: Constructing Meaning in After-School Environmental Science
Direct linkPetrovich, Mark E.; Barany, Amanda; Shah, Mamta; Foster, Aroutis – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2022
Maker-based learning activities offer benefits to both students and educators; however, there exist few research examples that examine how educators enact a process of identity exploration when implementing maker activities in their instruction. The Projective Reflection framework was used to assess three science educators' identity exploration as…

Cincera, Jan; Kroufek, Roman; Marková, Katerina; Krepelková, Šárka; Šimonová, Petra – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: Students' satisfaction with science education is one of the preconditions for the students' future interest in pursuing an academic career in science. However, to date it is still not clear what particular teaching strategies promote students' satisfaction with science and, specifically, what opportunities for promoting this…

Gillan, Amy Larrison; Hebert, Terri – Science and Children, 2014
The People Learning Urban Science (PLUS) program creates partnerships and coordinates efforts involving a local zoo, university, and school district, seeking to instill within students a sense of the natural environment. Even though the majority of students live among concrete and metal structures, their eyes and ears can be trained to make…

Willmott, Christopher J. R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2015
There is growing recognition that science is not conducted in a vacuum and that advances in the biosciences have ethical and social implications for the wider community. An exercise is described in which undergraduate students work in teams to produce short videos about the science and ethical dimensions of current developments in biomedicine.…

Greenhow, Christine; Lewin, Cathy – Learning, Media and Technology, 2016
It is argued that social media has the potential to bridge formal and informal learning through participatory digital cultures. Exemplars of sophisticated use by young people support this claim, although the majority of young people adopt the role of consumers rather than full participants. Scholars have suggested the potential of social media for…

Science Created by You (SCY) is a project on learning in science and technology domains. SCY uses a pedagogical approach that centres around products, called "emerging learning objects" (ELOs) that are created by students. Students work individually and collaboratively in SCY-Lab (the general SCY learning environment) on "missions" that are guided…
