Designing and Delivering Representation-Focused Science Lessons in a Digital Learning Environment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cirkony, Connie; Tytler, Russell; Hubber, Peter – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Inquiry-based representation-focused approaches in science education have shown promising outcomes when students engage in knowledge building via an active process of constructing, coordinating, and evaluating representations. To date, much of the existing research around these approaches has taken place in pre-digital classrooms, but the…
