This study investigated the interrelationships among science process skills (SPSs) developed through home-based experiments (HBEs) and examined the correlation between SPS and science literacy (SL) among middle school students. Employing a qualitative correlational design, the study involved 77 seventh-grade students in Aceh Province, Indonesia.…

When thinking about measurement uncertainty in a laboratory experiment that features quantum mechanical effects, it is important to consider both the physical principles of underlying quantum theory (e.g., the uncertainty due to quantum mechanical superposition states) as well as the limitations of the measurement (e.g., the spread in outcomes due…

Smartphone-based experimental exercises were incorporated as part of the homework problems in an introductory mechanics course at a university. A quasi-experimental field study with two cohorts design was performed to measure the impact of such exercises on motivation, interest and conceptual understanding. The empirical results on learning…
