Difficulties in understanding physics concepts are often experienced by students such as in the material of regular uniform motion. This study aims to describe the mental models of first-year secondary school students on regular straight-line motion. This research utilized a case study method of 167 students at the secondary level with an average…

The study of coordination complexes in general and inorganic chemistry courses is facilitated by theoretical frameworks such as crystal field theory (CFT) and ligand field theory (LFT). The angular overlap model (AOM) is alternative approach that quantifies metal-ligand interactions based on the geometric configuration of a given complex. In this…

When learning about scientific phenomena, students are expected to "mechanistically" explain how underlying interactions produce the observable phenomenon and "conceptually" connect the observed phenomenon to canonical scientific knowledge. This paper investigates how the integration of the complementary processes of designing…
