Bridget D. Owusu; Laurie A. Stargell; Josie Otto; Meena M. Balgopal – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Understanding the structure and function of proteins is crucial for students as it provides fundamental insights into one of the central building blocks of life. Yet, undergraduate students struggle to make sense of proteins and apply knowledge about why structure affects function. Here, we expand on an existing typology of common protein…

John P. Papadouris; Vassilis Komis; Konstantinos Lavidas – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2025
Although absolute value is of interest to mathematics teaching researchers, since many students face problems with it, there does not seem to be an integrated record of students' errors. The present study attempts to conduct a systematic review to identify and categorize errors and misconceptions of secondary school students aged 12-18 concerning…

Sakyiwaa Boateng; Sizwe J. C. Masuku – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Electricity and magnetism are fundamental areas of physics and are integral to science curricula at various educational levels. However, this area has been reported to contain several concepts that students find challenging, leading to perspectives that diverge from scientifically accepted views. This study examines the errors made by physics…
