Topics fall under the categories of disciplinary (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering), technological (e.g., computer, video, audio, and print), or organizational (e.g., legislation, administration, implementation, and teacher enhancement). The journal publishes a broad range of papers covering theory and practice in order to facilitate future efforts of individuals and groups involved in the field.
The Journal of Science Education and Technology is an international and interdisciplinary forum for both invited and contributed peer reviewed articles that advance science education at all levels. The genders did not differ in achievement, but males were more favorable towards dissection and computers than were females. Students' attitudes toward the use of animals for dissection did not change significantly from pretest to posttest and did not interact with treatment. Results of the study indicated that students receiving SBD performed significantly better than students receiving DBS or DO on both actual dissection and knowledge of the anatomy and morphology. There were three experimental conditions: simulation before dissection (SBD) dissection before simulation (DBS) or dissection-only (DO). This study examined the prior use of simulation of frog dissection in improving students' actual dissection performance and learning of frog anatomy and morphology.
One intriguing previous finding was that use of an interactive videodisc dissection facilitated performance on a subsequent actual dissection. Simulation has been proposed as a way of dealing with this issue. Science teachers, school administrators, educators, and the scientific community are faced with ethical controversies over animal dissection in classrooms.
