| description | This paper reviews the ways in which interactions have been studied, and the findings of such studies, in science
education in both face-to-face and remote laboratories. Guided by a systematic selection process, 27 directly
relevant articles were analysed based on three categories: the instruments used for measuring interactions, the
research findings on student interactions, and the theoretical frameworks used in the studies of student
interactions. In face-to-face laboratories, instruments for measuring interactions and the characterisation of the
nature of interactions were prominent. For remote laboratories, the analysis of direct interactions was found to be
lacking. Instead, studies of remote laboratories were mainly concerned with their practical scope. In addition, it is
found that only a limited number of theoretical frameworks have been developed and applied in the research
design. Existent theories are summarised and possible theoretical frameworks that may be implemented in studies
of interactions in undergraduate laboratories are proposed. Finally, future directions for research on the interrelationship between student interactions and laboratory learning are suggested. |
