Schwichow, Martin; Christoph, Simon; Boone, William J.; Härtig, Hendrik – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
The so-called control-of-variables strategy (CVS) incorporates the important scientific reasoning skills of designing controlled experiments and interpreting experimental outcomes. As CVS is a prominent component of science standards appropriate assessment instruments are required to measure these scientific reasoning skills and to evaluate the…

Heinze, Aiso – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
Mathematical proof is one of the most difficult topics for students to learn. Several empirical studies revealed different kinds of students' problems in this area. Our own research suggests that students' views on proofs and their abilities in proving are significantly influenced by their specific mathematics classrooms. However, the reasons for…
