Welcome to the research section, where you will find a collection of research articles focused on studies conducted on the Science Bits and Math Bits methodologies, as well as the 5E instructional model on which they are based.
These articles reflect the research work we carry out in collaboration with the International Science Teaching Foundation (ISTF) to evaluate how our educational materials work and the impact they have on students’ learning.
We share with you research that provides valuable data to continue improving our teaching resources and strategies, always with the aim of promoting high-quality science education.
Improvements in Diagnostic Test Results Associated with the Adoption of the Science Bits Program
A new study suggests that Science Bits helps improve diagnostic test results in Science for ESO students (Middle School students, 12 -16 years old). Schools that adopted Science Bits from 2019 to 2023 have shown more significant progress in their students’ scientific skills.
The Cognitive Principles of Learning Underlying the 5E Model of Instruction
The International Journal of STEM Education has published The cognitive principles of learning underlying the 5E Model of Instruction, an article that outlines the principles from cognitive sciences on how people learn that underlie the 5E Model and that could theoretically explain the effectiveness of the model as a learning sequence.
A New Scientific Study Supports the Effectiveness of Science Bits
A study published in the International Journal of Science Education by researchers from the University of Barcelona and the University Rovira i Virgili analyzed the short and long-term conceptual learning of students from two schools that adopted Science Bits in their science classes throughout the secondary education and compared it to two schools that used other methods.
