Tural, Güner – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2020
One of the topics students have understanding difficulties in science is pressure. The study investigates the effectiveness of an active-learning environment on the students' understanding of the concept of pressure. The sample consisted of 30 students from a public secondary school in Turkey. This study used a pre-test, post-test,…

James, Angela A.; Beni, Saritha; Stears, Michele – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2019
Background: Foundation phase teachers are not science specialists; however, they are expected to teach science. It is important that research determines where teachers face challenges in teaching science in order to assist them to bridge the gaps and to improve their competence in teaching science. Aim: The aim of this research was to explore…

Nargund-Joshi, Vanashri; Bragg, John – Science Teacher, 2017
During the second industrial revolution (1870-1914), scientists moved away from trial-anderror methods to more systematically apply the principles of chemistry, physics, and biology (Mokyr 1998). The authors chose this period as the foundation of a project-based learning (PBL) unit integrated with the ninth-grade U.S. history curriculum (Thomas…

Cândida Sarabando; José P. Cravino; Armando A. Soares – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2016
Although weight and mass are considered fundamental concepts in physics, they are still not well understood by students. A computer simulation was designed to improve students' learning of these concepts and compared it with other teaching strategies. The research was carried out with 142 students (7th grade; 12-13 years old), from three schools.…
