Maddens, Louise; Depaepe, Fien; Raes, Annelies; Elen, Jan – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
In order to design learning environments that foster students' research skills, one can draw on instructional design models for complex learning, such as the 4C/ID model (in: van Merriënboer and Kirschner, Ten steps to complex learning, Routledge, London, 2018). However, few attempts have been undertaken to foster students' "motivation"…

Hämäläinen, Elina K.; Kiili, Carita; Räikkönen, Eija; Lakkala, Minna; Ilomäki, Liisa; Toom, Auli; Marttunen, Miika – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Sourcing -- identifying, evaluating, and using information about the sources of information -- assists readers in determining what to trust when seeking information on the Internet. To survive in the post-truth era, students should be equipped with sufficient sourcing skills. This study investigated the efficacy of a teacher-led intervention aimed…

Grimm, Hanna; Edelsbrunner, Peter A.; Möller, Kornelia – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Hypothesis-based reasoning with conditionals is a skill that is required for engaging in integral activities of modern elementary school science-curricula. The teaching of this skill at this early stage of education, however, is demanding, particularly in whole school classes in which it is difficult to adapt teaching to children's individual…

Kullberg, Nina; Kiili, Carita; Bråten, Ivar; González-Ibáñez, Roberto; Leppänen, Paavo H. T. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
This study examined students' ability to select relevant ideas from multiple online texts and integrate those ideas in their written products. Students (N = 162) used a web-based platform to complete an online inquiry task in which they read three texts presenting different perspectives on computer gaming and wrote an article for a school magazine…

Cottone, Amanda M.; Yoon, Susan A.; Shim, Jooeun; Coulter, Bob; Carman, Stacey – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Educating young learners to reason with data is increasingly important given our data-saturated society; yet teachers need support in recognizing and facilitating apt epistemic performance (which involves the beliefs and practices necessary to successfully establish, critique, and use data and knowledge within a domain) regarding data literacy…

Matuk, Camillia; Linn, Marcia C. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Peer ideas can be valuable contributions to scientific inquiry. Divergent peer ideas can enrich students' thinking and encourage curiosity. Meanwhile, similar peer ideas can promote convergent thinking that can reinforce understanding. However, students need guidance in critically evaluating peer ideas in relation to their own, and in recognizing…

Matuk, Camillia; Yetman-Michaelson, Lucy; Martin, Rebecca; Vasudevan, Veena; Burgas, Kim; Davidesco, Ido; Shevchenko, Yury; Chaloner, Kim; Dikker, Suzanne – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Citizen science programs offer opportunities for K-12 students to engage in authentic science inquiry. However, these programs often fall short of including learners as agents in the entire process, and thus contrast with the growing open science movement within scientific communities. Notably, study ideation and peer review, which are central to…

Magnussen, Rikke; Hod, Yotam – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
This paper presents the results of two community and citizen science research projects -- "Cities at Play" and "Community Drive" -- in which young students (aged 11-15) from vulnerable residential areas in Copenhagen, Denmark, collaborated with architects and urban developers to engage in urban development initiatives in their…

In Pursuit of Mutual Benefits in School-Based Citizen Science: Who Wins What in a Win-Win Situation?
Atias, Osnat; Baram-Tsabari, Ayelet; Kali, Yael; Shavit, Ayelet – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
In a typical citizen science scenario different groups of people take on various roles in a research process that is often coupled with educational, social or personal objectives. A widely accepted viewpoint asserts that such an endeavor should bring benefits to all involved parties and that no participating individuals should act "in…

Aridor, Keren; Dvir, Michal; Tsybulsky, Dina; Ben-Zvi, Dani – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Responsible citizenship and sound decision-making in today's information age necessitate an appreciation of the role of uncertainty in the process of generating data-based scientific knowledge. The latter calls for coordinating between different types of uncertainties, related to three types of relevant reasoning: statistical, scientific, and…

Bopardikar, Anushree; Bernstein, Debra; McKenney, Susan – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Student-Teacher-Scientist Partnerships (STSPs) provide opportunities for students and teachers to participate in citizen science and engage with scientific concepts and practices, thereby bridging school learning with issues of importance to society, such as climate change. But STSPs require partners to cross boundaries between the cultures of…

Bird, Erin Bridges; Ballard, Heidi L.; Harte, Margaret – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Youth-focused Community and Citizen Science (CCS) projects are contexts in which youth can contribute to the entire "data lifecycle"--from data-collection to decision-making with their scientific findings. But data alone does not contain the answers for what action to take and how. Using the educational context of an afterschool CCS bird…

Brand, Charleen; Hartmann, Christian; Loibl, Katharina; Rummel, Nikol – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Productive Failure (PF) is an instructional design that implements a problem-solving phase which aims at preparing students for learning from a subsequent instruction. PF has been shown to facilitate students' conceptual knowledge acquisition in the mathematical domain. Collaboration has been described as a vital design component of PF, but…

When Do Students Provide More Peer Feedback? The Roles of Performance and Prior Feedback Experiences
Zong, Zheng; Schunn, Christian D.; Wang, Yanqing – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Students benefit from receiving and providing peer feedback, but the degree of participation limits the benefit. Further, students sometimes resist participation, providing few or only short comments. Prior researchers have examined the role of general attitudes toward peer feedback in limiting participation. However, little research has examined…

AL Harrasi, Kothar Talib Sulaiman – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
The paper describes an action research being developed by the researcher to "address the issue of plagiarism and" assist tertiary students to master second-language (L2) writing using sources in a higher education institute (HEI) in Oman. It recruited 16 undergraduate students from two classes who undertook an L2 writing course. To…
