How the Scope of Inquiry Shapes Student Learning Autonomy in Year 4 Science
This article presents a case study of the relationship between the scope of inquiry that classroom teachers provided to Year 4 students during inquiry-based science lessons and the learning autonomy evidenced by those students. This study investigated the practices of two primary school classroom teachers engaging in similar teaching contexts and curriculum imperatives, but each teacher provided a different scope of inquiry to students during the…
A Cognitive Load Approach to Molecular Geometries
Within chemistry education, methods for effectively teaching students the three-dimensional spatial arrangements of matter at the molecular level remains a topical issue. As a form of geometric problem solving, it requires learners to apply mental rotation abilities as an evolved visuospatial skill to obtain subject-specific content knowledge. Recent research into the use of Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) as a framework for instructional design in c…
STEM Education in Australia
Recent government and industry priorities have led to a call to raise the quality of STEM learning to meet the future needs of industry and workforce skills. In Australia, education jurisdictions have responded to this challenge. Consequently, education is now considered critical in developing the skills required to meet these future needs. However, several significant issues have hindered STEM education’s advancement. These impediments if not re…
Student teachers' perceptions of their role as civic educators
This paper presents the findings of a study concerned with student teachers' perceptions of their role as civic educators. Focusing on student teachers undertaking one‐year, pre‐service programmes within the secondary age range (11‐ to 18‐years‐old) at a large higher education institution in the south of England, the study adopted a mixed methods approach involving a cross‐sectional, whole cohort questionnaire and follow‐up individual interviews …
