Xu, Wangyi; Jiang, Yonggui; Yang, Lan; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Achieving knowledge integration for deep learning requires students to develop well-connected knowledge structures through the central idea of a concept. However, a number of studies on student learning in momentum have revealed persistent difficulties in understanding its fundamental concept, particularly in relating net force, time, and change…

Qian Huangfu; Zhouying Luo; Ying Cao; Weijia Wu – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Errors are natural elements of the learning process and provide a high potential to promote students' learning outcomes. In recent years, there has been much research about learning from errors. However, we know little about the relationship between students' error beliefs in chemistry and chemistry learning outcomes at present. Thus, the aim of…

Rudy Brass; Ebunoluwa Braithwaite; Hope E. Edwards; Jasleen Kaur; Anna Kleanthous; Toby T. Madhlangobe; Anand D. Mistry; Ared Suma; Shane Lo Fan Hin; Dylan P. Williams – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The gamification of learning has increased in popularity in recent years as a tool for enhancing student engagement and attainment. In undergraduate chemistry courses, hybridization is a fundamental concept that students need to master in order to understand introductory organic and inorganic topics. This study focused on the development of a card…

Tang, Qianghong – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2023
Protocol-guided teaching is a student-centered instructional model in which the teacher creates the learning protocol prior to the lesson in order to direct students toward active and autonomous learning. A well-structured learning protocol is essential for the effective application of this instructional paradigm. This article evaluates the…

He, Jingwen; Jin, Bihui; Xu, Zexin; Zhang, Danhui – Journal of Online Learning Research, 2022
With the development of web-based science inquiry learning, behavioral engagement in such learning contexts received more and more attention. Combined with specific science inquiry stages: comparative experiment design, implementation with computer simulation, and reflection on results, the current study explored a series of features from log data…

Ma, Zengpeng – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2023
Protocol-guided teaching is a student-centered instruction paradigm in which teachers compose learning protocols in advance to guide students through the entire learning process in an effort to foster in them the capacity for autonomous learning. Effective learning protocols can have a substantial impact on classroom outcomes. The purpose of this…

Tu, Tao; Li, Chuan-Feng; Zhou, Zong-Quan; Guo, Guang-Can – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Upper-division physics students solve partial differential equations in various contexts in quantum mechanics courses. Separation of variables is a standard technique to solve these equations. We investigated students' solutions to midterm exam questions and utilized think-aloud interviews. We also applied a framework that organizes students'…

Lu, Chaoqun; So, Winnie Wing Mui; Lee, Yeung Chung; Yeung, Yau Yuen – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2023
English is being used as a medium of instruction (EMI) for delivering science lessons in China. This study investigated Chinese high school international programme students' perceptions of and attitudes towards EMI, particularly about their perceived difficulties and support in learning. A questionnaire with Likert-type items, student group…

Tan, Lihua; Wei, Bing; Cui, Tianxue – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Based on self-determination theory and achievement goal theory, this study provided a serial multiple mediation model that examined how students' perceptions of teacher autonomy support (PTAS) relate to different achievement motivations (mastery and performance-approach goals), and further associate with students' intellectual risk-taking (IRT)…

Song, Yu; Lei, Shunwei; Hao, Tianyong; Lan, Zixin; Ding, Ying – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Due to benefits for teaching and learning, an increasing number of studies have focused on classroom dialogue and how to make it productive. Coding, in which the transcribed conversation is allocated to a set of features, is commonly employed to deal with the textual data arising from this dialogue. This is generally done manually and cannot…

Youdell, Deborah; Lindley, Martin; Shapiro, Kimron; Sun, Yu; Leng, Yue – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2020
In this paper we begin to explore how knowledges being generated in bioscience might be brought into productive articulation with the Sociology of Education, considering the potential for emerging transdisciplinary, 'biosocial' approaches to enable new ways of researching and understanding pressing educational issues. In this paper, as in our…

Wang, Zuhao; Chi, Shaohui; Luo, Ma; Yang, Yuqin; Huang, Min – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2017
Chemical symbol representation is a medium for transformations between the actual phenomena of the macroscopic world and those of the sub-microscopic world. The aim of this study is to develop an instrument to evaluate high school students' chemical symbol representation abilities (CSRA). Based on the current literature, we defined CSRA and…
