The use of educational technology in inquiry-based elementary science education: a systematic review

ABSTRACT Technology has arisen as a powerful tool for enhancing student’s learning and engagement in science education, particularly in the context of elementary inquiry-based science education (IBSE). This systematic review examines the use of technology in elementary IBSE over the past decade, analyzing 22 empirical studies to identify research trends, explore relationships among inquiry phases and process skills, and identify examples of technology utilization and affordances. The study reveals that technology has mainly been used to support students’ observation and data interpretation skills during the investigation phase of inquiry. However, it also indicates that technology has the potential to support other science process skills in other phases of inquiry in a variety of ways. Supporting students to capture and collect data, providing learning materials, and linking the real-world context were the three predominant affordances. Furthermore, the analysis suggests research gaps in the use of emerging technology and insufficient attention paid to employing technology to support students’ modeling processes and the use of simulations. These findings point to the need for further investigation to fully explore the potential of technology in supporting students’ learning and engagement in elementary IBSE.

Students learn English with different educational backgrounds at university level. Through this course, students can get the opportunity to develop their English competence for their learning success and future professional needs. To maximise the attainments of the goals, ESP teachers need to design ESP courses relevant to the students’ needs and conditions. This study surveyed 180 non-English major students to investigate their needs in learning English, learning attitude, and language learning strategies. The results reveal students still lacking in all English skills and language use. Therefore, ESP teachers should provide learning materials and inputs that can develop students’ English competence. ESP teachers need to struggle to make non-English major students hold a positive attitude toward English language learning. This finding showed that even though the students had confidence and motivation in learning English, they felt anxious and insecure during the teaching and learning process. Since this study involved non-English major students from different educational backgrounds, it was found that students’ language learning strategies were various. The results did not show certain strategies used by the students in learning English in higher education. ESP teachers should provide a variety of teaching techniques that can help students maximise their English language learning.
