Upahi, Johnson E.; Ramnarain, Umesh – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Open-ended problem-solving skills have been identified as employable skills, which undergraduate students will need to have in order to cope with real-life problems in their workplaces after graduation. However, the development and assessment of these skills have been inconsistent across courses offered in universities. This research examined…

Ke, Li; Sadler, Troy D.; Zangori, Laura; Friedrichsen, Patricia J. – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Learning science in the context of socio-scientific issues (SSI) is widely advocated for achieving the goal of scientific literacy that values using science in daily lives. While prior research suggests that SSI-based learning can promote students' disciplinary knowledge and practices, less is known about students' perceptions of SSI-based…
