Teuscher, Dawn; Dingman, Shannon; Olson, Travis A.; Kasmer, Lisa A. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
Grade 8 students were given a task that had pairs of shapes that had been transformed (i.e., preimages and images). Students were to identify which of the three rigid transformations--reflections, rotations, or translations--were used to map the preimage to the image. Students were also asked to give a justification for their choice of…

Kaya, Ali – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
This paper is twofold. First, it examines the misconceptions held by students about atoms. Second, it determines the suggestions of the instructors (academics and teachers) to overcome these misconceptions. The study adopted a case study research method. A questionnaire was administered to 288 students and a semi-structured interview was conducted…

Chiphambo, Shakespear Maliketi; Mtsi, Nomxolisi – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
The calculation of the total surface area of prisms forms part of the Mathematics curriculum in South Africa. This paper explores Grade 8 students' errors when learning about the surface area of prisms. The study was guided by the interpretive paradigm and adopted a qualitative approach in a form of a case study design. Data from diagnostic test's…

Espinoza, Cecilia; Orvis, Kathryn S.; Brophy, Sean P. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
This research investigates students' learning about the electron transport chain (ETC) process in photosynthesis by watching a video followed by playing a serious board game--"Electron Chute"--that models ETC. The learning objectives targeted enriching a mental model that students could use to explain the causal relationship of the ETC…

McLure, Felicity; Won, Mihye; Treagust, David F. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Understanding plate tectonics is pivotal to development of an integrated understanding of Geoscience topics. However, geology is frequently introduced to students in lower secondary school by describing separate processes, such as sedimentary rock formation, rather than investigating the overall driving forces for change. This study investigated…

Safadi, Rafi'; Ababsy, Ranin – Physics Education, 2020
Research indicates that troubleshooting activities that require students to reflect on pre-prepared erroneous examples, i.e. erroneous solutions to problems that correspond to common naïve ideas, impact their learning positively. These include asking students to diagnose erroneous examples; in other words, detect the conceptual errors and then…

Akbas, Elif Ertem; Alan, Kübra – Online Submission, 2022
Due to the fact that the pandemic process did not occur in a predictable time frame, various difficulties have arisen in the field of education. This is also true in mathematics education, and concretization has been one of the biggest obstacles. This situation paved the way for concept learning errors that may occur in students. There are some…

Eisenmann, Petr; Pribyl, Jirí; Novotná, Jarmila – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2019
The paper describes one problem solving strategy -- the Use of false assumption. The objective of the paper is to show, in accordance with Phylogenesis and Ontogenesis Theory, that it is worthwhile to reiterate the process of development of the concept of a variable and thus provide to pupils one of the ways helping them to eliminate usual…
