Shu-Fen Lin; Wan-Chin Shie – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Teachers lack effective curriculum-based instruments to assess their students' scientific competence that would provide information for modifying their inquiry instruction. The main purpose of this study was to develop and validate a Curriculum-Based Scientific Competence (CBSC) test to assess students' scientific competence in a 1-semester Grade…

Teig, Nani; Scherer, Ronny; Olsen, Rolf Vegar – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
A great number of studies have investigated science teaching and learning (STL) using data from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Nevertheless, there is little effort to synthesise these studies. Reviewing the status of research on STL, including the trends,…

Many studies investigating inquiry learning in science domains have appeared over the years. Throughout this period, inquiry learning has been regularly criticized by scholars who favor direct instruction over inquiry learning. In this vein, Zhang, Kirschner, Cobern, and Sweller (2022) recently asserted that direct instruction is overall superior…

Klegeris, Andis; Dubois, Patrick J.; Code, Warren J.; Bradshaw, Heather D. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2019
Problem solving has been characterized as one of the 'employability skills' due to the high demand for such abilities in a modern workplace. Most universities do not monitor progress of the generic problem-solving skills (PSS) of their students due to a lack of available assessment tools. We used previously reported 15-min tests to measure the…

Hsieh, Fu-Pei; Chen, Yun-An; Hung, Jeng-Fung; Tsai, Chun-Yen – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
This research sought to improve students' science reading comprehension ability and marine ecological conservation learning interest through the implementation of an inquiry-based learning course. A Triggered situational interest-Reading-Inquiry-Presentation (TRIP) model was proposed to guide the course design. The quasi-experimental design was…

Kang, Jingoo; Keinonen, Tuula – Research in Science Education, 2018
Since students have lost their interest in school science, several student-centered approaches, such as using topics that are relevant for students, inquiry-based learning, and discussion-based learning have been implemented to attract pupils into science. However, the effect of these approaches was usually measured in small-scale research, and…

Jirí Škoda; Pavel Doulík; Martin Bílek; Ivana Šimonová – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2016
The IBSE has become a rather frequently applied strategy of directing learning activities in teaching science subjects. However, results of the IBSE effectiveness are not clear. A more detailed analysis is required which will reflect learners' individual characteristics. Therefore, the main aim of this research is to discover what the…
