David Stroupe; Enrique Suárez; Déana Scipio – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
Scientists and science educators have argued that learners (students, preservice teachers, and inservice teachers) should understand knowledge construction in science, in addition to figuring out disciplinary core ideas. Given this goal, some science education scholars created a construct called the "Nature of Science" (NOS), which aims…

Sigit Permansah; Abdul Rahman; Dede Rusmana; Cicilia Dyah Sulistyaningrum Indrawati – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2025
Despite the abundance of literature discussing Kuhnian views, it is rare to find studies that comprehensively compare the arguments of Kuhnian supporters and skeptics. This study aims to fill the gap by providing a comparative review and synthesis between the two groups of views using the systematic literature review (SLR) analysis technique. The…

Valeria Edelsztein; Claudio Cormick – Science & Education, 2025
In this article, we tackle the phenomenon of what seems to be a misunderstanding between science education theory and philosophy of science--one which does not seem to have received any attention in the literature. While there seems to be a consensus within the realm of science education on limiting or altogether denying the explanatory role of…

Yusuf Kartal; Munise Seckin-Kapucu – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2024
Understanding the nature of science is an essential component of scientific literacy. In a technology and media-oriented environment, text-processing algorithms and various artificial learning approaches are crucial and continue to develop. Latent Dirichlet Allocation is a topic modeling algorithm that has been used frequently for many years to…

Eder Hernandez; Esmeralda Campos; Pablo Barniol; Genaro Zavala – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Electricity and magnetism are fundamentally interconnected, as represented by the symmetry in Maxwell's equations. Much of the research on Gauss's and Ampere's laws has focused on their application in calculating electric or magnetic fields. However, there remains a significant gap in the literature in exploring these laws in a broader…

César Zúñiga-Loyola; Maria-Soledad Ureta-Zanartu; Federico Tasca – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Energy conversion devices such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and electrolyzers have been envisaged as possible solutions for cutting down the continuous accumulation of greenhouse gases resulting from the combustion of fossil fuel. The bottleneck reaction for these devices is the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurring at the cathode. The…

Glen Bull; Jo Watts; Rachel Gibson; Ryan Novitski; Debra Shapiro; Elaine Wolfe – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2024
A series of models in the Educational CAD Model Library can be used to reconstruct mechanical animation machines such as the Praxinoscope and related animation mechanisms. Hands-on experiences can be used to enhance understanding of historical invention processes and related science concepts. Foundational concepts of visual perception are…

Isabel María Cruz Lorite – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2025
Historical scientific controversies have great potential to address aspects of the nature of science in context. This paper describes a design case about a novel lesson plan based on the scientific controversy between Karl von Frisch and Carl von Hess on the sight of bees (how they see). This lesson plan allows concepts related to experimentation,…

Yuting Wu; Yuxin Chen; Yi Cheng – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Microfluidics has attracted widespread interest in the fields of chemicals, materials, pharmaceuticals, biology, etc. Integrating low-cost automation based on open-source hardware/software to improve lab security and reduce time consumption is demanded in microchemical processing. In this work, we developed a "do it yourself"…

Mary Jane Brundage; David E. Meltzer; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
We use a validated conceptual multiple-choice survey instrument focusing on thermodynamic processes and the first and second laws of thermodynamics at the level of introductory physics to investigate the problem-property dependence of introductory and advanced student responses to introductory thermodynamics problems after traditional…

Kok-Sing Tang; Grant Cooper – Science & Education, 2025
The introduction of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT has raised many challenging questions about the nature of teaching, learning, and assessment in every subject area, including science. Unlike other disciplines, natural science is unique because the ontological and epistemological understanding of nature is…

Álvaro Suárez; Arturo C. Marti; Kristina Zuza; Jenaro Guisasola – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
We investigate learning difficulties among second-year students in electromagnetism courses when they apply Ampère-Maxwell's law. Using phenomenography, we analyzed written answers from 65 undergraduate physics students to four questions on Ampère's and Ampère-Maxwell's laws. We complemented our research by interviewing 12 students. To design the…

Amy J. Hopper; Angus M. Brown – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
In this article we analyze the classic Hodgkin and Keynes 1955 paper describing investigations of the independence principle, with the expectation that there is much students and educators can learn from such exercises, most notably how the authors applied their diverse skill set to tackling the numerous obstacles that the study presented. The…

Emre Savas; Aysel Kocakulah – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2025
This study aims to investigate the effect of the teaching model developed for hot conceptual change on middle school 7th-grade students' understanding of the Nature of Science (NOS) aspects. In this qualitative and exploratory study, activities were carried out with 24 students of two classes in a village school in the South Marmara region using a…

Rosemary Hipkins – set: Research Information for Teachers, 2024
There is often a steady trajectory of curriculum change under the surface of developments that might seem arbitrary or inconsistent. This article traces the change from key competencies to science capabilities and, most recently, to enduring competencies. All these changes (and names) respond to increasing awareness of the challenges involved in…
