The Use of Socioscientific Issues in Science Lessons: A Scoping Review

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(14), С. 5827 - 5827

Опубликована: Июль 9, 2024

Socioscientific issues represent an innovative approach within the realm of STEM education as they integrate real-world problems, promote critical thinking, and encourage interdisciplinary learning, thus preparing students to address complex societal challenges through scientific inquiry. The objective this scoping review was analyze use SSIs in science lessons. A database search Web Science Scopus focused on articles published between 2013 2023. When applying inclusion exclusion criteria, a total 106 were selected. revealed focus socioscientific high school undergraduate curricula, particularly pertaining environmental, genetic, health-related concerns, well localized SSIs. variety methodological approaches, predominantly qualitative, applied capture educational dynamics integrating into pedagogy. Inquiry-based learning emerges preferred pedagogical model, stimulating student engagement with real challenges. resources employed encompass both conventional texts digital tools, such data mapping visualization software, facilitating multifaceted comprehension Pedagogical techniques are diverse, incorporating argumentation, role-playing, media enrich teaching experience. Nevertheless, incorporation faces obstacles, including resistance innovation, inherent complexity topics, demand for specialized teacher training.

Constructing a Novel E-Learning Course, Educational Computational Chemistry through Instructional Design Approach in the TPASK Framework

Education Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(7), С. 648 - 648

Опубликована: Июнь 26, 2023

The educational scenario after the COVID-19 confinement presents new challenges for teachers. Technological advances require teachers to be prepared instruction through technology, and with this, need e-learning courses arose strengthen this knowledge. This article aims describe an innovative course in Educational Computational Chemistry (ECC) in-service chemistry Instructional Design (ID) that allows development of constructs associated Pedagogical Science Knowledge (TPASK) framework. From literature overview, relevant findings were raised concerning ID its potential technological support. results indicate effective must present general elements, such as organisation generation content, progress monitoring, feedback instances. However, stages engagement, flexibility, positioning are elements. These design elements linked emerging tools, artificial intelligence generating audiovisual material, interactive content development, event logs. In addition, positive evident from who participated ECC course, project knowledge, computer skills, learning acquired into their professional work Based on above, a is proposed guidelines contribute continuous training

Factors influencing students’ intention to enroll in Bachelor of Science in Biology: A structural equation modelling approach

Cogent Education, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 10(2)

Опубликована: Окт. 27, 2023

With the declining number of students interested in pursuing STEM courses such as Bachelor's Degree Biology evidenced by low enrollment, HEIs currently offering and those which intend to offer academic degree program are competing looking for ways increase their competitiveness. Hence, several efforts have been made response it, including investigating what attracts choose HEI course it offers. In this regard, study aims evaluate factors influencing students' intention enroll Bachelor Science (BS) at Cebu Technological University using an extended Chapman's Model Student College Choice. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, 416 senior high-school from Province Philippines participated online survey. The aimed test influence student characteristics, significant people, marketing factor, fixed university image, perceived quality, career opportunities on BS Biology. findings structural equation modelling suggest that only characteristics influences program. Irrespective disassociation six other proposed hypotheses, is still deemed feasible supported responses it. conclusion, reveals model's usefulness understanding one course. Consequently, results managerial theoretical implications further strategize institutional recruitment techniques.
