MicroData is an application that makes it easy to interactively visualise and record live sensor data in support of data literacy in the classroom. It leverages a BBC micro:bit coupled with an Arcade shield accessory, and needs no other hardware. It ...

This paper presents reports on a series of experiments with a novel dataset evaluating how well Large Language Models (LLMs) can mark (i.e. grade) open text responses to short answer questions, Specifically, we explore how well different combinations of ...

Science exhibitions are an effective tool for tech research and education, both in the production and design stages as well as in informal settings such as science centers and science museums, as they are used to promote informal learning in ...

Coordinating modeling and real-world data is central to building scientific theories. This paper examines how a complementary focus on modeling and data contributed to 8th grade students’ learning of mechanisms underlying wildfire smoke spread in MoDa, ...

Our work-in-progress paper explores students' role-changing patterns while working on science tasks in small groups. Grounded on the Collaboration Conceptual Model, we examined how members in 15 middle school student groups changed their roles ...

In response to the persistent diversity gap that exists in the computing field, we implemented a five-day professional development (PD) workshop for elementary teachers on integrating computational thinking (CT) and culturally responsive teaching (CRT) ...

Argumentation in science as an approach to scientific literacy has been gaining the education sectors' attention. However, as the demands in education changes, assessing the effectiveness of argument-based learning (ABL) in science becomes more ...

The use of games regarding education is not something new. Their use, especially in the early stages of the education system, is notably widespread in helping students learn and develop various skills. Although students are considered the centre of ...

Science fairs are one of the most effective ways that educational institutions have for reaching out to society as a whole. In Mexico one of the largest public universities has been organizing for almost three decades a science fair focused on children ...

ICECUBE LED Display [ILDm^3] is a cubic-meter, 1/1000th scale model of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a novel telescope that looks for nearly invisible cosmic messengers, neutrinos, using a cubic-kilometer of instrumented ice starting 1450 meters ...

Digital games are increasingly being used to teach the processes of scientific inquiry. These games often make at least one of four key assumptions about scientific inquiry: that inquiry is a problem-solving process which is value-neutral, bounded by ...

Science education is paramount as humanity works to mitigate the major socio-economic, technological, and environmental impact of the Anthropocene and build a sustainable future. For children to engage with and one day contribute to finding sustainable ...

This paper focuses on the development of an e-module for grade 7 science discussing the content about monsoon based on the learning competency expected to be achieved in the content. The evaluation of four experts yielded to a high rating in terms of ...

Mobile learning game has been widely used for encouraging students whenever and wherever. However, several studies have indicated that without properly incorporating students' personalised characteristic and learning assistance mechanism into the digital ...

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) calls for higher proficiency in K-12 science through three-dimensional learning, defined as the integration of core ideas, science practices, and cross-cutting concepts. This indicates a shift from recitation ...

In science education, the use of computational tools brings many possibilities for collecting, manipulating, and visualizing data, opening new pathways for exploring and making sense of scientific phenomena. However, although new types of data can now ...

The integration of maker resources and pedagogies into formal education can enrich school curriculum by promoting more meaningful, contextualized, and inclusive ways of learning, particularly in STEM fields. We describe an implementation model of ...

While the Next Generation Science Standards set an expectation for developing computer science and computational thinking (CT) practices in the context of science subjects, it is an open question as to how to create curriculum and assessments that ...

Policymakers believe that preparing all students from the earliest grades to high school for a new future of STEM+Computing (STEM+C) integration involves teaching them not only the science and math central to these areas, but also how computational ...

Nature of Science (NOS) is normally not part of science instruction and science assessment in the Philippines. It was not an explicit domain in the science curriculum. The main goal of this study was to find out the impact of historical short stories on ...
