Effects of Games in STEM Education: A Meta-Analysis on the Moderating Role of Student Background Characteristics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arztmann, Michaela; Hornstra, Lisette; Jeuring, Johan; Kester, Liesbeth – Studies in Science Education, 2023
Game-based learning has proven to be effective and is widely used in science education, but usually the heterogeneity of the student population is being overlooked. To examine the differential effects of game interventions in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) related subjects on diverse student groups, a meta-analysis has…

Characterising Immersive Argument-Based Inquiry Learning Environments in School-Based Education: A Systematic Literature Review
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Weiss, Kathleen A.; McDermott, Mark A.; Hand, Brian – Studies in Science Education, 2022
Educational initiatives in multiple disciplinary areas call for student engagement in the practice of argumentation (CCSSI, 2010a, 2010b; Mullis & Martin, 2017; NGSS Lead States, 2013; OECD, 2018). In science education, immersive argument-based inquiry (ABI) is one category of approaches which integrates argumentation in all classroom activity…

What You Find Depends on How You See: Examining Asset and Deficit Perspectives of Preservice Science Teachers' Knowledge and Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gray, Ron; McDonald, Scott; Stroupe, David – Studies in Science Education, 2022
This article explores how scholars have framed studies of preservice science teacher (PST) knowledge and learning over the past twelve years. We examined relevant studies between 2008 and 2020, coding them by theoretical perspective (cognitive or sociocultural), knowledge perspective (deficit or asset), and teaching level (elementary, secondary,…

A Systematic Review of Computational Thinking in Science Classrooms
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ogegbo, Ayodele Abosede; Ramnarain, Umesh – Studies in Science Education, 2022
Computational thinking (CT) has been described as an essential skill that should be learned by everyone and can, therefore, be included in their skill set. Computational thinking uses essential principles in computer science for solving problems, understanding complex systems, and human behaviour. This way of thinking has significant consequences…

Self-Concept Research in Science and Technology Education -- Theoretical Foundation, Measurement Instruments, and Main Findings
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rüschenpöhler, Lilith; Markic, Silvija – Studies in Science Education, 2019
This article gives an overview of the current state of science and technology self-concept research. Following a defined selection process, we analysed 74 peer-reviewed journal articles published from 1998 to 2017, which are indexed in the ERIC database and that deal with science and technology self-concepts (STSC) of school children and…

Teachers and Science Curriculum Materials: Where We Are and Where We Need to Go
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Davis, Elizabeth A.; Janssen, Fred J. J. M.; Van Driel, Jan H. – Studies in Science Education, 2016
Curriculum materials serve as a key conceptual tool for science teachers, and better understanding how science teachers use these tools could help to improve both curriculum design and theory related to teacher learning and decision-making. The authors review the literature on teachers and science curriculum materials. The review is organised…

Negotiation, Embeddedness, and Non-Threatening Learning Environments as Themes of Science and Language Convergence for English Language Learners
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ardasheva, Yuliya; Norton-Meier, Lori; Hand, Brian – Studies in Science Education, 2015
In this review, we explore the notion of teaching science to English language learners (ELLs) as a balancing act between simultaneously focusing on language and content development, on the one hand, and between structuring instruction and focusing on student learning processes, on the other hand. This exploration is conducted through the lens of a…
