Students learn better with Science Bits, research proves
- The five-year study analyzed the performance of science students from four schools, with two schools using , two schools used standard textbooks.
- Schools that used saw a "significant improvement" in student results and understanding. Schools that did not use saw no improvement.
LONDON , June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study by researchers from the University of Barcelona (UB) and the University of Rovira i Virgili (URV) published in the International Journal of Science Education provides evidence schools who applied the 5E model using saw significant improvements in terms of learning, compared to traditional methods.
The study analyzed short and long-term conceptual learning in schools that applied the 5E model using , compared to schools using conventional textbooks.
