Cataloguing biological specimen is a important activity of biological museums world over. Software developed especially for this purpose have evolved overtime to achieve more accuracy in retrieving data from large and diverse datasets. Combining smaller datasets in to a larger…

Historically, design representation and verification was relegated to engineering drawings and other manual methods that were used to convey information for product design, analysis, and manufacturing.  Because of the rapid development and implementation of relatively low cost and extremely powerful…

This paper outlines reflections by two tutors in Initial Teacher Education on ways design and technology (D&T) has been included in cross-curricular modules at our institution. These modules were a new addition to our courses in response to a conviction…

Researchers in science education have converged on the viewthat argumentation can be an effective intervention for promoting knowledge construction in science classrooms.However, the impact of such interventions may be mediated by individuals’ task goals while arguing.
