Electronic research notebooks (ERNs) are used under a variety of names: electronic laboratory notebooks, digital laboratory notebooks, electronic field notebooks, and electronic engineering logbooks, to name a few. ERNs are common in industry and increasingly common in academia. This scoping review explores the literature describing the various…

In recent years, in the era of digital intelligence, intelligent feedback has received increasing attention. However, few studies have explored the impacts of intelligent feedback on learning achievements and learning perceptions in inquiry-based science learning. To address these research gaps, this study examined the overall impacts of…

The sudden transition to remote learning in response to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant increase in reliance on instructional technology, some unique to STEM disciplines. This violation of students' expectations for the learning experience presented an additional crisis. Students had to react to the disruption without time to…

This study investigates the impact of different animation styles on learning outcomes in physics, with a focus on explanations of the seasons. Using a combination of pre-post performance tests and eye tracking, we compared animations featuring a presenter with pure animations without a person in the frame. The sample consisted of students from a…

Climate change is a pressing global challenge for humanity, which should be adequately represented in the educational system. However, teachers face a significant challenge due to the vast amount of data and information about climate change available in the media. We aimed to identify aspects that affect teachers' acceptance of technology in…

Since it became available free to the public in November of 2022, ChatGPT and other large-language model AIs have impacted the higher education classroom. Some fear that this is the end of essay-based assignments, as these are easily generated by ChatGPT. Principles of Genetics, an entry level genetics class, has previously incorporated a creative…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable strides in recent years, finding applications in various fields, including chemistry research and industry. Its integration into chemistry education has gained attention more recently, particularly with the advent of generative AI (GAI) tools. However, there is a need to understand how teachers'…

Observation serves as a cornerstone of scientific inquiry, particularly in science education. However, microscopy classes, essential for fostering observational skills, often face limited equipment access and technical difficulties. Such challenges can influence students' academic emotions, which play a crucial role in learning. In response to…

This research looked at the choices that children make in the classroom when offered manual and technological options to measure scientific variables. Over 170 school children were involved in science lessons designed in collaboration with school teachers and the research team as part of the planned curriculum. We found that approximately 25% of…

There is tension about teachers' professional use of social media platforms, such as Pinterest, to access instructional resources for teaching science. Teachers' frequent use of Pinterest signals their perceived value despite concerns about the quality of the resources found there. These resources can constitute a part of teachers' network of…

This scoping review explores the intersection of climate change education and technology usage in the classroom. We conducted a scoping review of 93 articles to ascertain what, if any, trends exist across this body of scholarship. Findings indicate that technology serves to provide learners with refutation experiences for accepting and making…

Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence are expected to change jobs and education dramatically. This study explores Korean physics educators' perceptions of the educational use of ChatGPT and future changes in society and the educational environment. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten Korean physics…

Scientific creativity plays an essential role in science education as an advanced cognitive ability that inspires students to solve scientific problems inventively. The cultivation of scientific creativity relies heavily on effective assessment. Typically, human raters manually score scientific creativity using the Consensual Assessment Technique…

The development of explanations for scientific phenomena is crucial in science assessment. However, the scoring of students' written explanations is a challenging and resource-intensive process. Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated the potential to address these challenges, particularly when the explanations are written in English, an…

The use of artificial intelligence has played an important role in science teaching and learning. The purpose of this study was to fill a gap in the current review of research on AI in science education (AISE) in the early stage of education by systematically reviewing existing research in this area. This systematic review examined the trends and…
