Paary Balakumar; Heather Fice; Samuel Richer; Tamara L. Western; Jacqueline Yao – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2024
Introductory science courses can be a struggle for instructors and students not only because of the challenging nature of the material, but also due to differences in the background knowledge of students. Provision of pre-lecture resources reviewing or introducing key concepts is recommended to support diverse students. In this paper, we describe…

Thomas, Gregory P. – International Journal of Science Education, 2013
Problems persist with physics learning in relation to students' understanding and use of representations for making sense of physics concepts. Further, students' views of physics learning and their physics learning processes have been predominantly found to reflect a "surface" approach to learning that focuses on mathematical aspects of…

Griffiths, Alan K.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1983
Three psychometric methods for validating learning hierarchies were applied to one data set derived from student responses (N=269) to items representing skills in a hypothesized hierarchy for the mole concept. The hierarchy derived from the analysis was supported by a test for transfer of learning from subordinate to superordinate skills.…

Dickie, Leslie O.; Kato, Carolyn K. – Canadian Journal of Higher Education, 1996
A study with nine physics students in a Quebec university found they saw themselves learning primarily outside the classroom as they solved assigned problems, saw few new concepts being introduced, and felt they had moved beyond memorization to application of concepts to problem solving. Students' perceptions were sometimes at odds with teachers'…
