Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…

Acar, Ömer – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
A science achievement model was separately investigated for students in low and high achieving schools (LAS and HAS) in Turkey. Then, gender differences based on variables that significantly contributed to each achievement model were investigated. The student-level variables that were under investigation for multiple regression analyses include…

Zeyer, Albert; Çetin-Dindar, Ayla; Md Zain, Ahmad Nurulazam; Juriševic, Mojca; Devetak, Iztok; Odermatt, Freia – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
The present study is based on the empathizing-systemizing (E-S) theory of cognitive science. It was hypothesized that the influence of students' gender on their motivation to learn science is often overestimated in the research literature and that cognitive style is more important for motivation than students' gender. By using structural equation…

Hand, Brian; Gunel, Murat; Ulu, Cuneyt – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
In the study of science topics especially in physics students are expected to move between different modes of representation when dealing with a particular concept as any science concept can be represented in several different modes. The difficulty for students is that they are often unable to move between these multi-modal representations and…

Aypay, Ahmet; Erdogan, Mehmet; Sozer, Mehmet A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2007
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences among schools using student responses in the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study-1999 (TIMSS-99) data. Schools were classified into two groups based on eighth grade students' overall achievement in science. Two different discriminant function analyses were performed to distinguish…

Deniz, Hasan; Donnelly, Lisa A.; Yilmaz, Irfan – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2008
In this study, using multiple regression analysis, we aimed to explore the factors related to acceptance of evolutionary theory among preservice Turkish biology teachers using conceptual ecology for biological evolution as a theoretical lens. We aimed to determine the extent to which we can account for the variance in acceptance of evolutionary…

Ardac, Dilek; Akaygun, Sevil – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2004
The present study makes use of the capabilities of computerized environments to enable simultaneous display of molecular representations that correspond to observations at the macroscopic level. This study questions the immediate and long-term effects of using a multimedia instructional unit that integrates the macroscopic, symbolic, and molecular…

Sencar, Selen; Eryilmaz, Ali – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2004
This study was designed to identify and analyze possible factors that mediate the effect of gender on ninth-grade Turkish students' misconceptions concerning electric circuits. A Simple Electric Circuit Concept Test (SECCT), including items with both practical and theoretical contexts, and an Interest-Experience Questionnaire about Electricity…

Dogan, Nihal; Abd-El-Khalick, Fouad – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2008
This study aimed to assess grade 10 Turkish students' and science teachers' conceptions of nature of science (NOS) and whether these conceptions were related to selected variables. These variables included participants' gender, geographical region, and the socioeconomic status (SES) of their city and region; teacher disciplinary background, years…
