Why Evidence-Based Education Matters
Why Evidence-Based Education Matters
Research on the use of Science Bits in schools shows consistent improvement in student performance on standardized tests, along with significant and lasting gains in student understanding.
Educational materials used in classrooms should be evidence-based, effective, and proven to work. We collaborate with the International Science Teaching Foundation (ISTF) to evaluate the impact of our educational materials on student learning.
Explore the studies below and review the original research. The data from these studies helps us continuously refine our teaching resources and strategies, ensuring we provide the most effective and efficient science education materials for your classrooms.
Our Scientific Studies
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.
