Winkler, Bianca; Bitzenbauer, Philipp; Meyn, Jan-Peter – Physics Education, 2021
No consensus has been reached so far concerning the key topics on quantum physics suitable for secondary school teaching, despite comprehensive research. We identified the the variety of associations with quantum physics among professionals as a potential cause. From an explorative mind map study with N = 29 physics researchers, we derive six…

Brinda, Torsten; Napierala, Stephan; Tobinski, David; Diethelm, Ira – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
The ability to categorize concepts is an essential capability for human thinking and action. On the one hand, the investigation of such abilities is the purview of psychology; on the other hand, subject-specific educational research is also of interest, as a number of research works in the field of science education show. For computer science…

Ezquerra, Angel; Fernandez-Sanchez, Belen; Magana, Marina; Mingo, Beatriz – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2017
The necessity of an adequate scientific literacy among the population in general and students in particular is a fact. Two of the main obstacles in science education that hinder it are the lack of connection between the contents worked in class and the students' day-to-day, and the misunderstanding of scientific language. In the present study, a…
