Slowmation: Preservice Elementary Teachers Representing Science Knowledge through Creating Multimodal Digital Animations.
TL;DR: The authors present their theoretical framework, explain how the preservice teachers created a slowmation using a sequence of representations to show their science knowledge and discuss the implications of these findings for learners in universities and schools.
Journal Article
The 5 Rs: A New Teaching Approach to Encourage Slowmations (Student-Generated Animations) of Science Concepts
Garry Hoban,Wendy Nielsen +1 more
TL;DR: The teaching approach guiding slowmation encourages students to create a sequence of five multimodal representations (the 5 Rs) by making an animation to explain the concept.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metacognitive engagement during field‐trip experiences: A case study of students in an amusement park physics program
TL;DR: This article investigated students' metacognitive engagement in both out-of-school and classroom settings, as they participated in an amusement park physics program, and found evidence of individual students' deeper understandings, which manifested through students' cognitive and social behaviors, demonstrated the invocation of metacognition to varying degrees.

Learning science through creating a "Slowmation": A case study of preservice primary teachers
Garry Hoban,Wendy Nielsen +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposed a narrated stop-motion animation as an instructional resource to explain a science concept to pre-primary primary teachers, which is called slowmation (abbreviated from slow animation).
