Lucía Casas-Quiroga; Beatriz Crujeiras-Pérez – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This study examines the epistemic disciplinary knowledge that students consider when addressing a real food emergency that requires their engagement in inquiry and argumentation practices. The study comprised two phases: (1) designing an experiment to study the emergency and (2) evaluating the real outcome of the emergency. The participants were…

Akkoyun, Nida; Altun Yalcin, Sema; Cakir, Zehra; Yalcin, Pasa – Asian Journal of Contemporary Education, 2023
The research explores the effect of STEM and STEM-based robotic activities on the development of students' perceptions of mental risk-taking and its predictors and their perceptions of inquiry learning skills related to science. A mixed method was applied in the research. Its sample consisted of 35 students in a high school of the Ministry of…

Cirkony, Connie; Kenny, John Daniel – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2022
In this paper we argue that the complexity of education systems can lead to a lack of coherence in the implementation of policy. More effective educational change requires policymakers and researchers to pay more attention to supporting teachers in classrooms. As an example, we consider decades of research attempts in STEM education to implement…

Cowie, Bronwen; Harrison, Christine – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
This paper provides both a summary and plenary paper for a Special Issue of papers that build on the findings of a research project that investigated formative and summative assessment methods to support and to improve inquiry-based science teaching and learning. The paper aims to unravel some of the complexity that underpins classroom assessment…

Wu, X. Ben; Sandoval, Carolyn; Knight, Stephanie; Jaime, Xavier; Macik, Maria; Schielack, Jane F. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Continuous calls for reform in science education emphasize the need to provide science experiences in lower-division courses to improve the retention of STEM majors and to develop science literacy and STEM skills for all students. Open or authentic inquiry and undergraduate research are effective science experiences leading to multiple…

Mutambuki, Jacinta M.; Fynewever, Herb; Douglass, Kevin; Cobern, William W.; Obare, Sherine O. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Integrating authentic research-based experiences that mimic real-world scientific practices and relevance to student personal life into a chemistry curriculum can make abstract chemical principles more palpable to students. Unfortunately, many reported research-based experiences chemistry laboratory experiments lack relevance to a student's…

Isik-Ercan, Zeynep – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
This qualitative case study documents pedagogical changes from a traditional teacher-centred instruction to an inquiry-based integrated literacy/science instruction in an urban second grade classroom. Social constructivist learning, where teachers and learners engage in discussion, argumentation, shared collective discourse, guided practice and…

Felton, Daniel E.; Moberly, James G.; Ederer, Martina M.; Hartzell, Patricia L.; Waynant, Kristopher V. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Additions to the popular evaporation rate determination laboratory of alcohol-based hand-rub sanitizers are described here. Significantly, inquiry-driven protocols for formulating hand-rub sanitizers, falling-ball viscometry, and sanitizer efficacy are included. Incorporation of familiar substances ("molecular relevance") enables…

Avent, Cherie M.; Boyce, Ayesha S.; LaBennett, Richard; Taylor, Darlene K. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Mastery of core chemistry content is a degree requirement for several STEM majors. Gatekeeper courses, like general and physical chemistry, have a history of weeding out struggling students, and often underrepresented groups underperform. While gatekeeper courses ensure students are prepared for STEM degrees, it is essential they do not create…

Wong, Wing-Kwong; Chen, Kai-Ping; Lin, Jia-Wei – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2020
The results of PISA 2015 indicate that Taiwanese students have excellent mathematical and scientific knowledge but are weak in applying such knowledge and in conducting practical experiments in the laboratory. To support students conducting practical experiments in physics laboratories, a real-time data logging system and an online tool for…

Strawhacker, Amanda; Verish, Clarissa; Shaer, Orit; Bers, Marina – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Bioengineering represents an interdisciplinary field with the potential to engage young learners in science inquiry and engineering design in the context of real-world challenges. Although children encounter bioengineered products and solutions in their everyday lives, they are not introduced to bioengineering until much later in school, after…

Casey, J. Elizabeth; Mireles, Selina V.; Viloria, Maria de Lourdes; Garza, Ester – Texas Journal of Literacy Education, 2018
Students who struggle with vocabulary knowledge often see a decline in comprehension of content. Even students who receive strong reading instruction in the early elementary years may still experience the fourth-grade slump (Chall, 1983), which more often affects students from underserved populations. Many of those same students are also affected…

Chaerunisa, Zahra Fathya; Ramli, Murni; Sugiharto, Bowo – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2023
Inquiry skills are one of the skills that students need to master in learning biological concepts. Inquiry skills are influenced by many factors, one of which is the lesson plan. This study aims to examine the effect of inquiry lab and STEM models on inquiry skills progression. The research design used was a quasi-experiment non-randomized control…

Lee, Soon C.; Jack, Ashlie R.; Novacek, Greg – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2022
Elementary students' interest in science and careers in STEM are typically associated with their curiosity along with engagement in science activities and whether they find these activities to be fun, exciting, and enjoyable. Thus, early exposure of elementary students to STEM lessons must be engaging and enjoyable, which in turn increases the…

Peterson, Bryanne – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2020
Watson and McMahon's (2005) work identified a need for research to examine the what and how of children's career development learning; this research is a start to answering that call, specifically focusing on STEM career interest as a precursor to development due to the current needs nationally for an increase in the STEM pipeline. This study…
