The study utilizes the survey data collected in 2012 (n = 826) and 2016 (n = 1161) to identify the changes in factors that are important to the use of ICT in education. The study result shows that six teacher level factors that are important for the ICT integration have been improved over time through professional development activities. These are professional competency in educational use of ICT, collaboration for ICT integration, benefits on use of ICT, autonomy to innovate, recognition as a professional, and skills and practices in educational use of ICT. This provides supporting evidence to educational practitioners for the implementation of effective professional development programs to promote ICT integration in education, especially in ...

The study also considered the effects of explicitly teaching NoS on beginning teachers' approaches to and perceptions o f teaching science and on their pupil's reflections o f school science. A mixture of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, which included questionnaires, group interviews and written reflections, was utilised to explore the research questions. There were four phases in the research. Phase one aimed at developing nineteen preservice primary teachers' NoS conceptions. The extent to which these nineteen preservice teachers planned and explicitly taught aspects o f NoS over the course of their final teaching practice was addressed in the second phase. The third phase compared the extent to which four beginni...

Data were gathered from 459 children from 10 Dublin schools. The findings revealed that their teachers’ engagement with the targeted professional development programme had positive effects on the children’s experiences of scientific inquiry and on their developing NoS conceptions. It was apparent that professional development methodologies were effectively implemented throughout the school year. which led to a significant increase in these children’s engagement with more child-led inquiry-based approaches and a significant decrease in engagement with more teacher-led methodologies. Furthermore, engagement with the professional development methodologies resulted in the children developing more elaborate conceptions regarding ‘general ...

Engagement with the different inquiries throughout the programme will provide children with opportunities to; develop their understanding about science and the work of scientists; develop their scientific skills and knowledge; work collaboratively with their peers; reflect on, investigate and attempt to answer scientific questions that are relevant to their every day lives; develop their reflection and dialogical skills; use a range of mathematical skills when gathering, interpreting, analysing and reporting the different inquiries that they encounter

Over the last century, studies have unraveled the complex molecular architecture of the sinus node and the expression of unique ion channels within its specialized myocytes. Aim of this review is to describe the embriology, the anatomy, the histology and the electrophisiology of the sinus node.
