Peikos, Giorgos; Spyrtou, Anna; Pnevmatikos, Dimitris; Papadopoulou, Penelope – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
It is widely argued that Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NST) is going to affect several aspects of our life. Therefore, students need to develop their nanoliteracy to cope with the everyday issues related to NST. Although there is an increasing interest in introducing NST content to primary school students, the theoretical frameworks for…

Koumara, Anna; Plakitsi, Katerina; Lederman, Norman – Science Teacher, 2022
How do scientists make inferences for something they cannot directly observe? The Black Box approach seems ideal to help students understand how scientists work. Black Boxes are sealed units; their interior is not accessible. The effort to determine their possible content (internal structure) demands successive modifications in hypothesis,…

Holbert, Nathan, Ed.; Berland, Matthew, Ed.; Kafai, Yasmin B., Ed. – MIT Press, 2020
Constructionism, first introduced by Seymour Papert in 1980, is a framework for learning to understand something by making an artifact for and with other people. A core goal of constructionists is to respect learners as creators, to enable them to engage in making meaning for themselves through construction, and to do this by democratizing access…

Ypsilandis, George S. – The EUROCALL Review, 2019
The subject of computers in language learning was not covered at a postgraduate level in Greece independently but as an add-on module in more broad programmes, such as "applied linguistics" or "TEFL." In such programmes, this module was merely scratching the surface of the subject, leaving students with the impression that…
