Ezema, Marcus Jideofor; Ugwuany, Christian Sunday; Okeke, Chinedu Ifedi; Orji, Emmanuel Ifeanyi – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
When students were exposed to cognitive conflict and 5E teaching models, this study looked at the impact of cognitive ability on their conceptual change in the particulate nature of matter in physics. With a sample of 195 first-year upper secondary school students, the study used a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent groups. The data…

Chytry, Vlastimil; Kubiatko, Milan – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
School assessment is a determining factor for a pupil in all functions. The aim of the research was to determine correlation between pupils' logical thinking and their school assessment and between pupils' mathematics skills and their school assessment. The sample size was created by 252 high school students (117 boys and 135 girls). As research…

Sahin, Feride; Ates, Salih – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2023
The aim of this study is to examine whether the structural model that Sahin and Ates (2020) put forward about the relationship among students' scientific literacy levels, logical thinking ability, cognitive styles, mental capacity, and mental rotation ability differ in terms of gender. A causal-comparative model approach was used in this study.…

Alivio, Theodore E. G.; Howard, Emily; Mamiya, Blain; Williamson, Vickie M. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Arithmetic skills are without a doubt integral to a student's success or failure in first-semester general chemistry. The MUST (Math-Up Skills Test) is a powerful tool for assessing a student's arithmetic logic and therefore serves as a great predictor for at-risk students. Early math reviews at the start of the semester are thought to help…

Brandriet, Alexandra; Rupp, Charlie A.; Lazenby, Katherine; Becker, Nicole M. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2018
Analyzing and interpreting data is an important science practice that contributes toward the construction of models from data; yet, there is evidence that students may struggle with making meaning of data. The study reported here focused on characterizing students' approaches to analyzing rate and concentration data in the context of method of…

Özdemir, Emine; Övez, Filiz Tuba Dikkartin – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
The cognitive development of prospective teacher needs to be taken into estimate so that proofs are presented in forms that are potentially meaningful for them. This requires educators and mathematicians to rethink consider the use of types of proof related to the logical thinking improvement of the singular. The purpose of the study is to…

Williamson, Vickie M.; Zumalt, Caitlin J. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2017
Two large sections of first-semester general chemistry were assigned to use different homework systems. One section used MindTap, a Cengage Learning product, which presents short sections of the textbook with embedded homework questions; such that students could read the textbook section then answer one or more questions in the same screen. The…

Wichaidit, Patcharee Rompayom; Wichaidit, Sittichai – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 2016
Learning chemistry may be difficult for students for several reasons, such as the abstract nature of many chemistry concepts and the fact that students may view chemistry as irrelevant to their everyday lives. Teaching chemistry in familiar contexts and the use of multiple representations are seen as effective approaches for enhancing students'…
