Kumas, Ahmet; Kan, Sabri – Science Education International, 2022
In this research, we studied distance education practices in high schools which were closed by the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MNE) due to the COVID 19 pandemic and evaluated comparatively within the scope of the physics course. In this context, a comparative evaluation has been made by examining live lecture applications on television…

Olaniyan, A. O.; Omosewo, E. O. – Science Education International, 2015
The study investigated the Effects of a Target-Task Problem-Solving Model on Senior Secondary School Students' Performance in Physics. The research design was a quasi-experimental, non-randomized, non-equivalent pretest, post-test using a control group. The study was conducted in two schools purposively selected and involved a total of 120 Senior…

Erdemir, Naki – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2009
In this study, the effects of teacher-directed and self-directed problem-solving strategies on students' attitudes toward physics were explored. Problem-solving strategies were used with the experimental group, while the control group was instructed using traditional teaching methods. The study was conducted with 270 students at various high…
