The Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach is described as an immersive argument-based science inquiry focusing particularly on learning through epistemic practices. In the literature, several previous studies indicate how academic achievement is positively influenced by the SWH. In addition to these previous studies, several meta-syntheses of qu...

This study investigates two latent constructs (Engagement and Value) of dialogic interaction to examine the epistemic climate. Since the new reform movement emphasizes creating generative learning environments, it is important to examine whether a classroom promotes students’ knowledge generation or limit students’ epistemic growth through rote mem...

Constructing Theoretical Foundations of Immersive Learning Environments This conceptual study aims to provide theoretical foundations for immersive learning environments. As the importance of science learning is not only about building and organizing scientific knowledge but also needs to consider how to support students’ understandings about usi...

This action research project examines first year science teachers’ conceptions of scientific inquiry and their challenges in implementing inquiry-based lessons. Classroom observations and interviews represent two first-year primary school science teachers’ conceptions of science as inquiry. Because the current educational landscape emphasizes inqui...

This correction stands to correct Fig. 1 and Table 4 in the original article. This correction is due to Fig. 1 not having the red circles showing the strength of the socioeconomic gradient mean performance of the 10 selected countries. Additionally, some coefficients in Table 4 were not interpretable, which should be corrected.

Many efforts have been made to reach educational equity, especially to reduce mathematics and science achievement gaps by students’ socioeconomic status. Across countries, educators strive to reform traditional teacher-centered instructional approaches to more student-centered/inquiry-based instruction to improve equity in education. In this contex...

The purpose of this study to examine how students transfer their language practices from science classrooms to math classroom in terms of writing activities. For this aim, 64 5th grade students, who were familiar with the SWH approach that supports multimodal writing from their science classrooms, participated in the study. The students were provid...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between the classification ability quotient and cortisol-hormonal change of middle school students. Thirty-three students, second graders in middle school, performed the classification task that can be an indicator of students' classification ability. And then amount of the secreted hormone w...
