Sheldrake, Richard; Reiss, Michael J. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Biology education aims to inspire interest, curiosity, and understanding about the natural world, foster children's interests and orientations towards supporting and protecting nature, and support children towards biology-related careers (including those involving nature and animals). However, it remains less clear how these views might associate…

Ekaterina Novikova; Annette Pic; Myae Han – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Research shows that experiences with nature have positive direct and indirect effects on multiple domains of child development, including language skills. However, few studies have examined the relationship between young children's language and outdoor nature settings. In this quantitative study, we compared children's language use in an indoor…

Alameh, Sahar; Abd-El-Khalick, Fouad; Brown, David – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Issues regarding scientific explanation have been of interest to philosophers from Pre-Socratic times. The notion of scientific explanation is of interest not only to philosophers, but also to science educators as is clearly evident in the emphasis given to K-12 students' construction of explanations in current national science education reform…

Deniz, Hasan; Yesilyurt, Ezgi; Kaya, Erdogan – Science and Children, 2021
The "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS Lead States 2013) have placed a special emphasis on engineering, raising engineering design to the level of scientific inquiry. Therefore, it is important for teachers to integrate engineering processes into their teaching. Students should experience engineering design in their science…

Viscardi, A. A. F.; Figueiredo, J. P.; Luiz, M. E. T.; Marinho, A. – Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2023
This qualitative exploratory research explores meanings that practitioners of adventure activities in nature, who are 60+ years old, attribute to their activities and leisure. The intentionally selected participants were 24 practitioners of adventure activities in nature, in Florianópolis, Brazil. The instruments were a semi-structured interview…

Simpson, Lauren; Whitworth, Brooke – Science Teacher, 2021
There are three aspects of science: (1) scientific knowledge: what we know about the natural world, which would include crosscutting concepts; (2) scientific practices: skills and knowledge necessary for building scientific knowledge; and (3) nature of science (NOS): how science works (Bell et al. 2003). Most science instruction emphasizes the…

Gunnlaugson, Olen; Cueto de Souza, Renata; Zhao, Steven; Yee, Allen; Scott, Charles; Bai, Heesoon – Journal of Transformative Education, 2023
We are interested in the transformative potentials of intersubjectivity as it is enacted through second-person contemplative approaches. Our work here focuses on contemplative practice as a pedagogy that reveals and enacts intersubjectivity within postsecondary education. How might contemplative higher education practice as a pedagogy enable…

Poor, S. V.; Herman, B. C.; Janney, B. A. – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2023
A robust knowledge of physics entails deeply understanding electricity concepts such as conductivity and resistance. Understanding how circuits work is also critical for ensuring the safe use of electrical technology such as car batteries and downed powerlines. Curricular materials covering these content ideas are readily available for teachers.…

Arbuthnott, Katherine D.; Sutter, Glenn C. – Environmental Education Research, 2019
We conducted two field studies to examine whether songwriting retreats held in a natural setting would increase nature connectedness, as well as improve emotional well-being and performance on a creative reasoning task. In the first study, high school students took part in songwriting instruction either in their school or at a national wildlife…

Holyoke, Laura B.; Schiffelbein, Kathryn; Bryant, Elizabeth; Derrick, Jamie – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2022
Increasing pressure and demands on students in higher education to perform and succeed has contributed to unprecedented levels of student stress, leading to poor academic performance and mental health. Universities are positioned to take proactive measures by creating environments that support student learning and minimise anxiety, such as…

Verma, Shiv Kumar; Punekar, Ravi Mokashi – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Nature-inspired designs/organic designs exhibit a very close resemblance with nature especially in terms of form and structure. Form giving for organic design is a special class of design problem that involves the use of inspiration and analogies from nature for creative problem-solving. There is insufficient research in understanding this…

Hsieh, Jasper Kun-Ting; Gao, Xuesong; Bell, Shaun – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2022
This paper draws on an ethnographic research that examined Taiwanese international students' identity movements before, during, and after their overseas education in Australia. Previous studies on nonnative-English-speaking teachers (NNESTs) studying TESOL in the West focused on the formation of their professional identity before and after the…

Mohan, Ashwin; Kelly, Gregory J. – Science & Education, 2020
The past decade has seen multiple debates and discussions over the appropriate framing of Nature of Science (NOS) for science education. These debates have stemmed from a diversity of philosophical views on what science fundamentally is. In post-secondary STEM education, the goals of a science education rest in having students socialize into…

Duruk, Umit; Kocabük, Ayse; Cavus, Emine – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2022
The efforts shown in recent years related to the reform movements in science education have focused on the assertion that informed nature of science understandings (NOS, hereafter) should be developed. In line with this idea, NOS has become the central component of numerous science curricula. In the study, therefore, it was aimed to determine…

Valarie L. Akerson; Claire Cesljarev; Conghui Liu; Judith Lederman; Norman Lederman; Nader El Ahmadie – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Understanding the nature of scientific inquiry is considered a critical component of scientific literacy [Michaels, S., Shouse, A. W., & Schweingruber, H. A. (2008). "Ready, set, science!: Putting research to work in K-8 classrooms." National Academies Press]. What do elementary students already know about scientific inquiry? Using…
