Rebekah Hammack; Ibrahim Yeter; Christina Pavlovich; Tugba Boz – International Journal of STEM Education, 2024
Teacher efficacy is one of the most influential components for effective instruction, highlighting the importance of providing preservice teachers (PSTs) with opportunities to learn how to teach engineering during their college preparatory coursework. Making space for engineering instruction within science methods coursework could provide…

Kaldaras, Leonora; Wieman, Carl – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Blended mathematical sensemaking in science ("Math-Sci sensemaking") involves deep conceptual understanding of quantitative relationships describing scientific phenomena and has been studied in various disciplines. However, no unified characterization of blended Math-Sci sensemaking exists. Results: We developed a theoretical…

Wan, Tong; Doty, Constance M.; Geraets, Ashley A.; Saitta, Erin K. H.; Chini, Jacquelyn J. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: In college science laboratory and discussion sections, student-centered active learning strategies have been implemented to improve student learning outcomes and experiences. Research has shown that active learning activities can increase student anxiety if students fear that they could be negatively evaluated by their peers. Error…

Rosen, Drew; Kelly, Angela M. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: While laboratory practices have traditionally been conducted in-person, online asynchronous laboratory learning has been growing in popularity due to increased enrollments and the recent pandemic, creating opportunities for accessibility. In remote asynchronous learning environments, students have more autonomy to choose how they…

Rosenberg, Joshua M.; Beymer, Patrick N.; Phun, Vicky; Schmidt, Jennifer A. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Situational engagement in science is often described as context-sensitive and varying over time due to the impact of situational factors. But this type of engagement is often studied using data that are collected and analyzed in ways that do not readily permit an understanding of the situational nature of engagement. The purpose of…

Unfried, Alana; Rachmatullah, Arif; Alexander, Alonzo; Wiebe, Eric – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
The Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument A (STEBI-A; Riggs & Enochs, 1990 in Science Education, 74(6), 625-637) has been the dominant measurement tool of in-service science teacher self-efficacy and outcome expectancy for nearly 30 years. However, concerns about certain aspects of the STEBI-A have arisen, including the wording,…

Lane, A. Kelly; Earl, Brittnee; Feola, Stephanie; Lewis, Jennifer E.; McAlpin, Jacob D.; Mertens, Karl; Shadle, Susan E.; Skvoretz, John; Ziker, John P.; Stains, Marilyne; Couch, Brian A.; Prevost, Luanna B. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: Change strategies may leverage interpersonal relationships and conversations to spread teaching innovations among science faculty. Knowledge sharing refers to the process by which individuals transfer information and thereby spread innovative ideas within an organization. We use knowledge sharing as a lens for identifying factors that…

Gamby, Sonja; Bauer, Christopher F. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: There is a critical need for evidence-based metacognition instruction models with an ease of implementation. Three issues involved in advancing the implementation and assessment of metacognitive interventions are: (i) the lack of an operational framework for the development of metacognition; (ii) metacognition instruction models that…

Semilarski, Helen; Soobard, Regina; Holbrook, Jack; Rannikmäe, Miia – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: The goal of this research was to determine students' perceived self-efficacy in science classes through involving students in expanding disciplinary core idea (DCI) and interdisciplinary core idea (ICI) maps, as a method to visualize knowledge (utilizing mind mapping and concept mapping) to support students to integrate…

Teplá, Milada; Teplý, Pavel; Šmejkal, Petr – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: Studies comparing the effect of dynamic and static visualization suggest a predominantly positive effect of dynamic visualization. However, the results of individual comparisons are highly heterogeneous. In this study, we assess whether dynamic visualization (3D models and animations) used in the experimental group has a stronger…

Roehrig, Gillian H.; Dare, Emily A.; Ring-Whalen, Elizabeth; Wieselmann, Jeanna R. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Few tools or rubrics exist to assess the quality of integrated STEM curricula, and existing tools focus on checklists of characteristics of integrated STEM. While such instruments provide important information about the presence and quality of certain curricular components, they do not assess the level and nature of integration of the…

Zhao, FangFang; Schuchardt, Anita – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Scientific ideas are often expressed as mathematical equations. Understanding the ideas contained within these equations requires making sense of both the embedded mathematics knowledge and scientific knowledge. Students who can engage in this type of blended sensemaking are more successful at solving novel or more complex problems with these…

Pleasants, Jacob; Tank, Kristina M.; Olson, Joanne K. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Around the world, efforts are underway to include engineering design as part of elementary science instruction. A common rationale for those efforts is that Engineering Design-based Science Teaching (EDST) is a productive pedagogical approach for developing students' understanding of core science concepts. Effectively utilizing EDST…

Zhao, Fang Fang; Chau, Linh; Schuchardt, Anita – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Many students solving quantitative problems in science struggle to apply mathematical instruction they have received to novel problems. The few students who succeed often draw on both their mathematical understanding of the equation and their scientific understanding of the phenomenon. Understanding the sensemaking opportunities…

Ekatushabe, Margaret; Kwarikunda, Diana; Muwonge, Charles M.; Ssenyonga, Joseph; Schiefele, Ulrich – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Boredom during learning activities has the potential of impeding attention, motivation, learning and eventually achievement. Yet, research focusing on its possible antecedents seems to have received less attention especially within the physics domain. Based on assumptions of the Control Value Theory of Achievement Emotions (CVTAE),…
