Abstract

Understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI), as opposed to engaging students in inquiry learning experiences, are included in science education reform documents around the world. However, little is known about what students have learned about NOSI during their pre-college school years. The purpose of this large-scale follow-up international project (i.e. 32 countries and regions, spanning six continents and including 3917 students for the high school sample) was to collect data on what exiting high school students have learned about NOSI. Additionally, the study investigated changes in 12th grade students' NOSI understandings compared to seventh grade (i.e. 20 countries and regions) students' understandings from a prior investigation [Lederman et al. (2019). An international collaborative investigation of beginning seventh grade students' understandings of scientific inquiry: Establishing a baseline. "Journal of Research in Science Teaching," 56(4), 486-515. https://doi.org/10.1002/tea.21512]. This study documents and discusses graduating high school students' understandings and compares their understandings to seventh grade students' understandings of the same aspects of scientific inquiry for each country. It is important to note that collecting data from each of the 130+ countries globally was not feasible. Similarly, it was not possible to collect data from every region of each country. A concerted effort was made, however, to provide a relatively representative picture of each country and the world.

Abstract

In addition to several societal and individual impacts, the pandemic of COVID-19 has greatly affected educational systems everywhere. The education in those universities that prepare STEM specialists like engineers, physicists, chemists, computer scientists, etc., has faced new requirements and problems. The solutions found are closely linked to new technologies, curricula innovation, and rethinking of the organizational structure of higher education. In this framework, different institutions reacted differently, working in an international environment and exchanging ideas and experiences. In the ERASMUS+ project "Applying some advanced technologies in teaching and research, in relation to air pollution," faculties from four universities from Romania (Craiova), Bulgaria (Plovdiv), Slovakia (Banská Bystrica) and Turkey (Adana) have tried to draw some positive lessons from the pandemic, on how to improve the quality of teaching in an online or hybrid environment. Some trends successfully applied in students' education will be presented and outlined as the framework of a conceptual educational model with an enhanced presence of modern educational technologies.

Abstract

This paper aims to identify the factors that are positively or negatively impacting students' well-being and their academic engagement. We used partial least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using the data collected through a questionnaire from four countries: Romania, Turkey, Slovakia, and Bulgaria. The model includes seven factors that influence the well-being of students and indirectly their academic engagement: stressors in the students' lives; professors' support; social support from family and friends; the students' perceived satisfaction in their lives; engaging in activities during their leisure time; self-exploration regarding their careers; and environmental exploration regarding their careers. The results show that all factors, except for stressors and environmental exploration regarding their careers, positively influence the students' well-being and thus their academic engagement. These findings are useful for university professors and managers in better organizing activities to increase academic performance.
