The Taxonomy of Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) as a Teaching Strategy and Thinking Process of Chemistry Stakeholders

Predict-observe-explain (POE) is a strategy being used during scientific investigations and experiments. However, POE-related studies mainly focused on its validity and reliability as a teaching strategy in classrooms. Thus, this paper extends the context of POE discussion not only as a teaching strategy but also as science process skills, and as cognitive thinking skills in performing experiments and answering scientific inquiries among chemistry stakeholders: students, teachers, and chemists. The study sees POE as a way to develop critical thinking and builds the skills needed for further academic and professional endeavors in the different fields of science. Through a constructivist grounded theory methodology using focus group discussions for students and in-depth interviews with the teachers and chemists, the study: described how students, teachers, and chemists exemplified POE strategy in terms of its process, and identified mutual patterns of POE process from the chemistry stakeholders. The study revealed that: student POE taxonomy is focused on basic processes and structures of POE; teacher POE taxonomy is a guide in their lesson planning; and chemist POE taxonomy is based on local and international compliance during experimentation. Therefore, POE is a science process skill for chemistry stakeholders where the POE taxonomy used by the chemistry stakeholders are different based on experiences, needs, and context.

Minimizing Misconceptions: Designing an Electrical and Magnetic Syllabus for Prospective Elementary School Teachers Using Predict Observe Explain-Conceptual Change Text (POE-CCT)

This study aims to 1) Obtain empirical data on the needs analysis for developing electrical and magnetic learning devices using the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) approach assisted by Conceptual Change Text (CCT), and 2) Gather comprehensive information on designing a syllabus for electricity and magnetism using POE assisted by CCT. This qualitative research focuses on the define and design stages of the 4D model and involves 30 second-semester students from the Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program, including 6 men and 24 women, enrolled in the Basic Science Concepts course. Data collection methods included interviews to develop and validate a product based on needs analysis, such as graduate learning outcomes related to the course, relevant study materials, learning methods, time allocation, learning resources, references, learning media, and assessment criteria. The data was analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings of this study confirm that 1) A learning tool using the POE-CCT approach is necessary to reduce misconceptions among prospective elementary school teachers, particularly in understanding the domains of electricity and magnetism, which are conceptually complex. The designed syllabus aims to address these misconceptions by incorporating POE learning tools assisted by CCT. This includes stages where students predict outcomes and reasons, observe and record their findings, and explain their observations followed by class discussions. 2) The syllabus development stage, based on needs analysis, results in POE learning tools with CCT assistance that promote independent prediction, observation, and explanation. This structured approach enhances active engagement, deeper understanding, and conceptual refinement through collaborative discourse, promising improved comprehension and retention of complex scientific concepts in the classroom.

An experimental study exploring the effects of predict–observe–explain method supported with simulations

ABSTRACT Background Since the early 20th century, research has been conducted on how to ensure optimal learning. With the developing and changing technology, different teaching methodologies and environments such as simulation, virtual lab, and interactive video have created the opportunity for educators to use them for this purpose. Nowadays, these are applied alone or in combination with different methods according to the student’s needs, subject, and environment. Purpose This study investigated the effect of using predict-observe-explain (POE) tasks enriched with computer simulations for the explanation part on 9th graders’ physics achievement. Additionally, the possible role of gender in this effect was examined. Sample The study was conducted with 107 9th graders (53 males and 54 females) from a high school in Turkey. The experimental group (n = 49) received POE tasks enriched with computer simulations, while the control group (n = 58) received traditional POE tasks. Design and Method A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was used for his purpose. Result The results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group regarding physics achievement. Furthermore, the effect of the intervention was found to be equally effective for both females and males. These findings suggest that the use of POE tasks enriched with computer simulations can be an effective instructional strategy to enhance students’ physics achievement.

The Effectiveness of Digital Module Based-POE (Predict-Observe-Explain) with Computer-Assisted Feedback to Improve Student Understanding of Physics Concept

The objective of this study is to develop a digital module-based Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) in a valid, practical, and efficient form to enhances students’ conceptual understanding of physics. The Plomp model, including three stages—preliminary research, development or prototype phase, and assessment phase—was employed in the experimental research. A questionnaire and interview sheet were used to discover school problems in preliminary research. A digital module-based POE with computer-assisted feedback was designed in the next phase. Around five experts gave their evaluation of the prototype. The practicality test was conducted by one-to-one evaluation (three students) and small group (nine students). The validity and practicality sheets were used in both stages. The assessment phase was conducted as quasi-experiment with pre-post tests design that involving two experiments classes with a total sample of 60 students. The test was used to collect data in this stage. All the data were analyzed using the percentage technique, Aikens’ V formula, N-Gain, and Wilcoxon test. Preliminary research showed that many problems occur in physics learning; students find it difficult to understand physics, there is a limited digital module used in learning, the teacher dominates physics learning, and giving feedback to the students is not optimal. Digital module-based POE with computer-assisted feedback appears as a solution. Based on validity evaluation by experts, it showed that the prototype was valid (V = 0.94). Practicality evaluation by one-to-one and small groups obtained that the product was very practical. Then, the effectiveness test results based on the N-gain showed the improvement of students’ conceptual understanding in the moderate category (0.58 and 0.30 for experiment class and control class, respectively). Based on the Wilcoxon test, Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05, which indicates a significant effect. In summary, digital module-based POE with computer-assisted feedback effectively improves students’ conceptual understanding of physics.
