Providing guidance in virtual lab experimentation: the case of an experiment design tool
(2018)
The present study employed a quasi-experimental design to assess a computer-based tool, which was intended to scaffold the task of designing experiments when using a virtual lab for the process of experimentation. In ...
Comparing the effect of two different cooperative approaches on students’ learning and practices within the context of a WebQuest science investigation.
(2011)
The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of two different cooperative learning approaches, namely, the Jigsaw Cooperative Approach (JCA) and the Traditional Cooperative Approach (TCA), on students’ learning and ...
Making the invisible visible: Enhancing students' conceptual understanding by introducing representations of abstract objects in a simulation.
(2013)
This study aimed to identify if complementing representations of concrete objects with representations of abstract objects improves students’ conceptual understanding as they use a simulation to experiment in the domain ...

Is physicality an important aspect of learning through science experimentation among kindergarten students?
(2012)
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether physicality (actual and active touch of concrete material), as such, is a necessity for science experimentation learning at the kindergarten level. We compared the effects ...
The use of mobile devices as means of data collection in supporting elementary school students’ conceptual understanding about plants
(2016)
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of mobile learning among young learners. Specifically, we investigated whether the use of mobile devices for data collection during field trips outside the classroom could ...
Peer Assessment among Secondary School Students: Introducing a Peer Feedback Tool in the Context of a Computer Supported Inquiry Learning Environment in Science
(Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2012)
In this study we introduced a peer feedback tool to secondary school students while aiming at investigating whether this tool leads to a feedback dialogue when using a computer supported inquiry learning environment in ...
Examining Learning Through Modeling in K-6 Science Education
(2015)
Despite the abundance of research in Modeling-based Learning (MbL) in science education, to date there is only limited research on MbL practices among K-6 novice modelers. More specifically, there is no information on how ...
Phases of inquiry-based learning: Definitions and the inquiry cycle
(2015)
Inquiry-based learning is gaining popularity in science curricula, international research and development projects as well as teaching. One of the underlying reasons is that its success can be significantly improved due ...
