Language Challenges and Coping Strategies in English Medium Instruction (EMI) Science Classrooms: A Critical Review of Literature
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jack K. H. Pun; Xuehua Fu; Kason Ka Ching Cheung – Studies in Science Education, 2024
In classrooms worldwide, the use of English to teach science subjects is becoming increasingly common. There is an increasing number of English-as-a-second/foreign-language learners studying science in English. This review examines 66 empirical studies on this topic published from 2000 to 2021. We critically review and synthesise evidence of the…

Understanding the Conditions Informing Successful STEM Clubs: What Does the Evidence Base Tell Us?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Davis, Kate; Fitzgerald, Angela; Power, Margaret; Leach, Tania; Martin, Neil; Piper, Stephanie; Singh, Rena; Dunlop, Shelley – Studies in Science Education, 2023
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) clubs are gaining momentum as a means for engaging students in STEM-related activities. Despite this growth, there have been limited attempts to examine the conditions that inform practice in these informal educational spaces. This paper addresses that gap through a comprehensive literature…

Sjøberg, Svein; Jenkins, Edgar – Studies in Science Education, 2022
PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) is one of two large scale international comparative projects of student assessment that now exert considerable influence upon school science education policy, the other being TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study). This paper focuses on PISA, now the most influential…

Climate Change Education: The Problem with Walking Away from Disciplines
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Eilam, Efrat – Studies in Science Education, 2022
Globally climate change (CC) is scarcely addressed in school curricula, and school graduates are mostly uneducated about climate change. The purpose of this paper is to make a case for conceptualising CC as a discipline, and to further argue why CC should be included in school curricula as a disciplinary-subject. An initial examination of CC in…

A Systematic Review of Trends and Findings in Research Employing Drawing Assessment in Science Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chang, Hsin-Yi; Lin, Tzung-Jin; Lee, Min-Hsien; Lee, Silvia Wen-Yu; Lin, Tzu-Chiang; Tan, Aik-Ling; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Studies in Science Education, 2020
In this study, we reviewed 76 journal articles on employing drawing assessment as a research tool in science education. Findings from the systematic review suggest four justifications for using drawing as a type of research tool, including assessment via drawing as (a) an alternative method considering young participants' verbal or writing…

A Meta-Analysis on the Relationship between School Characteristics and Student Outcomes in Science and Maths -- Evidence from Large-Scale Studies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Holzberger, Doris; Reinhold, Sarah; Lüdtke, Oliver; Seidel, Tina – Studies in Science Education, 2020
In the present meta-analysis, we examine how secondary school characteristics -- such as schools' academic press, school climate, material resources, personnel resources, classroom climate, instructional practices, out-of-school activities, and socioeconomic status (SES) composition -- provide opportunities for students to engage in science and…
