Current status, opportunities and challenges of augmented reality in education (2013, unknown): “…instructional approaches with the affordances of AR could result in a reconceptualization of contextualization that has been defined as " utilization of particular situations or events that occur outside of class or are of particular interest to students " (Rivet & Krajcik, 2008, p. 80).”
Pipeline persistence: Examining the association of educational experiences with earned degrees in STEM among U.S. students (2011, background): “One way to accomplish both of these recommendations is through the inclusion of inquiry projects where students investigate real-world science problems that are relevant to them (e.g., Bouillion & Gomez, 2001; Rivet & Krajcik, 2007).”
Misconceptions about “misconceptions”: Preservice secondary science teachers' views on the value and role of student ideas (2012, unknown): “Russell and Martin (2007) remind us that as science teacher educators we must also attend to the ways in which we elicit and use the ideas that our prospective science teachers have about teaching: “The research literature confirms that it is entirely counterproductive to simply transmit such lesson”
