Shimada, Marcella Seika; Locatelli, Solange Wagner – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2023
Students' perceptions of an activity involving visualization are important in assessing their learning of the task. In view of this, this study was developed with undergraduate students from different courses at a public Brazilian university. The research objective was to determine how three students, who are majoring in different courses…

Javier Rodriguez-Falces – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
A central topic in Bioelectricity is the generation of the extracellular potential that results from the propagation of a transmembrane action potential along the muscle fiber. However, the way in which the extracellular potential is determined by the propagating action potential is difficult to describe, conceptualize, and visualize. Moreover,…

Fungirai Mudhefi; Koena Mabotja; Dimakatjo Muthelo – Perspectives in Education, 2024
The 21st-century mathematics classrooms should equip learners with well-grounded knowledge and thinking skills pertaining to geometry. However, Euclidean geometry remains one of the challenging, if not the most difficult topic for many learners. As a result, the purpose of this article is to interpret Grade 12 learners' learning difficulties in…

Coleman, Philip; Hosein, Anesa – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Laboratory tasks often focus on mechanical procedures leaving limited time and opportunities for students to build conceptual knowledge. We investigate to what extent introducing simulation tasks to preparation work can enable students to build their conceptual knowledge. We surveyed two cohorts of students taking an electronics module. Laboratory…

Widing, Lizette; Nilsson, Pernilla; Enochson, Pernilla Granklint – Science Education International, 2022
This study investigated how modeling in chemistry affect second language learners' descriptions of polymeric concepts. The aim was to investigate how chemistry discussions mediated by representations, contribute to second language students' development in the language of chemistry. The study took place in three multilingual upper secondary…

Chang, Jina; Park, Joonhyeong; Tang, Kok-Sing; Treagust, David F.; Won, Mihye – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Student-generated drawing is a useful strategy to construct students' scientific ideas. For exploring ways to support student-generated drawing, we focused on the perspective of 'Norms' -- shared behaviour patterns desirable in a community. We investigated what norms were formed and how they emerged when students made drawings to explain…

Dunn, Justin; Ramnarain, Umesh – Education Sciences, 2020
This study investigated the effect of interactive computer simulation-supported inquiry on South African grade 8 learners' comprehension of atoms and molecular structures. Two sample groups of 34 learners per sample group were used, one acting as a control group who were exposed to a teacher-directed pedagogy while the experimental group used…

Kor, Liew-Kee; Teoh, Sian-Hoon; Mohamed, Siti Syardia Erdina Binti; Singh, Parmjit – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
The teaching and learning fractions is one of the most problematic areas in primary school mathematics. A large number of studies have engaged paper-and-pencil test to measure students' instrumental understanding about fractions but few have sought to learn about children's fraction sense. This paper reports a study that investigated fraction…

Hardi, Hardi; Wahyudi, Wahyudi; Suyitno, Hardi; Kartono, Kartono; Sukestiyarno, Yohanes Leonardus – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2022
Mathematic connection is one of the basic abilities someone must have in order to learn mathematic successfully. Mathematic connection helps someone to understand the function of mathematics, improving mathematic concept, determining the correlation among mathematic concepts, and identifying the application of mathematic in the surrounding…

Hungerford, Hilary B.; Thackeray, Susan L.; Smith, Anna-Lise – Geography Teacher, 2021
Public art installations are part of university campuses across the United States, and these installations can be useful in teaching important geographic concepts, skills, and geovisualization techniques. Using public on-campus art resources in geography classes can both enhance student learning of important geography content, themes, and…

Ranscombe, Charlie; Bissett-Johnson, Katherine – Design and Technology Education, 2017
Literature on the use of design tools in educational settings notes an uneasy relationship between student use of traditional hand sketching and digital modelling tools (CAD) during the industrial design process. This is often manifested in the transition from sketching to CAD and exacerbated by a preference of current students to use CAD. In this…

Passante, Gina; Kohnle, Antje – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Time dependence is of fundamental importance for the description of quantum systems, but is particularly difficult for students to master. We describe the development and evaluation of a combined simulation-tutorial to support the development of visual understanding of time dependence in quantum mechanics. The associated interactive simulation…
