Moraga-Calderón, Tania S.; Buisman, Henk; Cramer, Julia – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2020
Studying quantum physics in upper secondary school is now a standard practice (Stadermann et al., 2019). But given the context of science education, with low recruitment numbers in higher education and poor attitudes towards science, it remains a question whether students find the learning of quantum physics relevant. In this study, we explore how…

However, it can also be due to low proficiency in the language of testing. Additionally, poor communication between refugee parents and schools caused by…
