Direct linkWu, Chao-Jung; Liu, Chia-Yu – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
The purpose of this study was to explore how students with high- and low-prior-knowledge employed multiple representations in argumentation evaluation and generation tasks. The argumentation performance and eye-movement behaviors of 96 college students in these tasks were investigated. The number of participants who proposed complex argumentation…

Chiu, Mei-Shiu – Research in Science Education, 2016
The aim of this study was to identify challenges in implementing a physics-before- 10 mathematics curriculum. Obviously, students need to learn necessary mathematics skills in order to develop advanced physics knowledge. In the 2010 high school curriculum in Taiwan, however, grade 11 science students study two-dimensional motion in physics without…

This paper reports the transition of the researcher's teaching before and throughout teaching innovation, including one year traditional teaching (1996) and three years constructivist teaching (1999-2001). Based on the constructivist view of learning, an innovative teaching program was designed and implemented by the author in a university physics…

Peer reviewedTsai, Chin-Chung – Research in Science and Technological Education, 1999
Describes a study of Taiwanese 14-year-olds' (n=48) cognitive structures derived from the instruction of basic atomic physics. Finds that even academically above-average students tended to use relatively lower-level modes of knowledge construction, focusing on reciting or describing specific factual knowledge in physics. (Contains 27 references.)…

Peer reviewedTsai, Chin-Chung – International Journal of Science Education, 2003
Examines the effects of using a conflict map on 8th grade students' conceptual change and ideational networks about simple series electric circuits. Analyzes student interview data through a flow map method. Shows that the use of conflict maps could help students construct greater, richer, and more integrated ideational networks about electric…

Peer reviewedHse, Shun-Yi – Proceedings of the National Science Council, Republic of China, 1991
The development of an instructional model based on a learning cycle including correlation, analysis, and generalization (CAG) is described. A module developed for heat and temperature was administered to test its effects by comparing its use with the same unit in the New Physical Science Curriculum (NPSC). The methodology, results, and discussion…
