Obaid, Teeba; Nesbit, John C.; Mahmoody Ghaidary, Ahmad; Jain, Misha; Hajian, Shiva – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Understanding scientific phenomena requires learners to construct mental models of causal systems. Simulation-based discovery learning offers learners the opportunity to construct mental models and test them against the behavior of a simulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate sequential patterns of learner actions and utterances…

Rau, Martina A. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2018
To learn content knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and math domains, students need to make connections among visual representations. This article considers two kinds of connection-making skills: (1) "sense-making skills" that allow students to verbally explain mappings among representations and (2) "perceptual…

Kershaw, Trina C.; Lippman, Jordan P.; Fugate, Jennifer M. B. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2018
Scientific knowledge, including the critical evaluation and comprehension of empirical articles, is a key skill valued by most undergraduate institutions for students within the sciences. Students often find it difficult to not only summarize empirical journal articles, but moreover to successfully grasp the quality and rigor of investigation…
