Neumann, Knut; Viering, Tobias; Boone, William J.; Fischer, Hans E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
This article presents an empirical study on an initial learning progression of energy, a concept of central importance to the understanding of science. Learning progressions have been suggested as one vehicle to support the systematic and successful teaching of core science concepts. Ideally, a learning progression will provide teachers with a…

Scrabis-Fletcher, Kristin; Silverman, Stephen – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2010
Perception of Competence (POC) has been studied extensively in physical activity (PA) research with similar instruments adapted for physical education (PE) research. Such instruments do not account for the unique PE learning environment. Therefore, an instrument was developed and the scores validated to measure POC in middle school PE. A…
