Knowledge about genetics is essential to build a society capable of participating in socioscientific and ethical debates. However, this subject remains difficult for students, making it necessary to develop new educational strategies, such as gamification. Thus, two main objectives are established in this work: (a) to design and evaluate…

The double-indicator method is often used in the analysis of Na[subscript 2]CO[subscript 3], NaHCO[subscript 3], and NaOH mixtures (carbonate mixtures). In this method, the determination of the volumes at the first and second equivalence points plays a crucial role in analyzing the composition and content of the carbonate mixtures. Here, LabVIEW…

This research aims to demonstrate that artificial intelligence (AI) can function not only as a tool for learning, but also as an intelligent agent with which humans can engage in collaborative learning (CL) to change epistemic practices in science classrooms. We adopted a design and development research approach, following the Analysis, Design,…

Active learning strategies engage students productively in the process of learning through problem-solving activities and discussions, over and above the routine method of listening passively to the instructor. This work highlights the redesign of a medicinal chemistry course by augmenting traditional lectures with active learning sessions in…

Biology and art have been linked throughout history. Early scientists, such as Leonardo de Vinci and John James Audubon, used sketches and painting to document their findings. Even early hominids left evidence of their world through cave art. Histology, the microscopic study of tissues and cells, relies on defining shape and spatial relationships…

Developing digital materials for learning purposes, or e-learning materials, is not as straightforward as it may seem. The traditional approach is multimedia instruction, the presentation of both pictures and words in an e-learning format to foster learning. However, multimedia instruction, to develop meaningful learning, needs to support the…

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Mobile AR (MAR) supported Flipped Learning Model (FLM) applications on the academic achievement of first year undergraduate students in General Chemistry Laboratory course and to investigate the students' views on MAR supported FLM. In the study carried out with a quasi-experimental design with…

Generative AI tools, including the popular ChatGPT, have had a significant impact on discourses about future work and educational practices. Previous research in science education has highlighted the potential of generative AI in various education-related areas, including generating valuable discussion material, solving physics problems, and…

This study reports students' perceptions of learning the physics concepts of equilibrium through making "Bulan" kites. The "Bulan" kite encompasses indigenous knowledge related to the teachings and ideas found in Islam. After a workshop where students (n = 109) made the "Bulan" kite under the tutelage of a local…

In this paper we demonstrate that using mixed reality (MR) technology can innovate our chemical engineering laboratory curriculum at Prairie View A&M University, a Historically Black College/University (HBCU). Particularly, we describe the development of a MR proof of concept to carry out a traditional fluid mechanics lab -- pressure drop as a…

The article describes a mini-escape game with an environmental theme. The game was prepared using LearningApps and Google Slides. The mini-escape game comprised 7 subactivities: Crossword, Matching Pairs, Multiple-Choice Quiz, Cloze Test, Word Grid, Group Assignment, and Freetext Input. Through completion of these subactivities, students gradually…

This mixed methods study explored how the making of animated models affected year 11 students' understanding of the effect of temperature on the equilibrium of an exothermic or endothermic reaction. The students' perspectives and the role of the activity in facilitating a metacognitive process were also examined. Teacher perspectives were also…

Biochemistry lab classes help students connect theory to real-world applications and develop practical, collaborative, and higher-order thinking skills. However, many students are unprepared, spending class time on protocols and equipment instead of higher-order learning. To improve preparation, digital gamified modules were created to replace…

The classification of living things learning in school faced some obstacles, one of which was the difficulties in presenting the specimen of real living things. One of the advanced information and technology products in the form of digital or virtual-based learning media was expected to be the solution to this problem. Through this research, a…

This study aims to examine the effects of explicit-reflective nature of science (NOS) activities on science teacher candidates' views on the nature of science and self-efficacy beliefs about teaching the nature of science, using a single-group pre-test-post-test experimental method. The research sample included 120 science teacher candidates…
