Assessment of expert-novice chemistry problem solving using HyperCard: Early findingsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 481-485 - 1993
David D. Kumar
Results of a HyperCard method for assessing the performance of expert and novice high school chemistry students solving stoichiometric chemistry problems (balancing chemical equations) have been reported. The assessment involved the use of a HyperCard instrument (“Hyperequation”) developed on a Macintosh platform to administer a set of five chemistry problems, register student responses, and colle...... hiện toàn bộ
Introducing Real-Time AVHRR-APT Satellite Imagery in the Classroom EnvironmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 387-394 - 2004
Lucas Moxey, Compton Tucker, Jim Sloan, John Chadwick
A low-cost (US$350) satellite receiving station was assembled and operated within a classroom environment in Gainesville (Florida) on October 2001 for acquiring satellite data directly from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellites. The simplicity of the satellite signal makes this source of real-time satellite data readily accessible to the K-16 educational community. The ed...... hiện toàn bộ
Elementary Students’ Learning of Materials Science Practices Through Instruction Based on Engineering Design TasksSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 Số 6 - Trang 580-601 - 2010
Wendell, Kristen Bethke, Lee, Hee-Sun
Materials science, which entails the practices of selecting, testing, and characterizing materials, is an important discipline within the study of matter. This paper examines how third grade students’ materials science performance changes over the course of instruction based on an engineering design challenge. We conducted a case study of nine students who participated in engineering design-based ...... hiện toàn bộ
Lecturing; Multimedia ClassroomsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 119-125 - 1997
David W. Brooks
This manuscript was developed from Chapter 14 of Web-Teaching [Brooks, 1997]. It was selected by the editor as having the information for the widest audience of this Journal. The chapter includes two topics. The first encourages teachers to convert current lecture materials to Web-ready formats and use these for in-classroom lecture presentations. The second deals with issues of creating multimedi...... hiện toàn bộ
Zooming in Time—Exploring Students’ Interpretations of a Dynamic Tree of LifeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 30 - Trang 125-138 - 2020
Jörgen Ingemar Stenlund, Konrad Janek Schönborn, Lena Anna Elisabet Tibell
Central to evolution is the concept of a common ancestry from which all life has emerged over immense time scales, but learning and teaching temporal aspects of evolution remain challenging. This study investigated students’ interpretation of evolutionary time when engaging with a multi-touch tabletop application called DeepTree, a dynamic visualization of a phylogenetic tree. Specifically, we exp...... hiện toàn bộ
Empowering Prospective Teachers to Become Active Sense-Makers: Multimodal Modeling of the SeasonsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 610-627 - 2015
Mi Song Kim
Situating science concepts in concrete and authentic contexts, using information and communications technologies, including multimodal modeling tools, is important for promoting the development of higher-order thinking skills in learners. However, teachers often struggle to integrate emergent multimodal models into a technology-rich informal learning environment. Our design-based research co-desi...... hiện toàn bộ
Supporting Three-dimensional Learning on Ecosystems Using an Agent-Based Computer ModelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 473-489 - 2022
Lin Xiang, Sagan Goodpaster, April Mitchell
The Next Generation Science Standards call for engaging K–12 students in three-dimensional learning, in which students make sense of phenomena or solve problems by simultaneously using science and engineering practices (SEPs), crosscutting concepts (CCCs), and disciplinary core ideas (DCIs). Decades of education research suggest agent-based computer models (ABMs) have the potential to support all ...... hiện toàn bộ
