Dmoshinskaia, Natasha; Gijlers, Hannie; de Jong, Ton – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
Giving feedback to peers can be a valuable learning experience for a feedback provider. However, different types of products require different types of feedback, which, in turn, may lead to different learning outcomes. The current study investigates the effect on the learning of feedback providers of reviewing different types of products.…

Calik, Muammer; Ayas, Alipasa; Coll, Richard K. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2010
This paper reports on an investigation of the effectiveness an intervention using several different methods for teaching solution chemistry. The teaching strategy comprised a four-step approach derived from a constructivist view of learning. A sample consisting of 44 students (18 boys and 26 girls) was selected purposively from two different Grade…

Cetin, Pinar Seda; Kaya, Ebru; Geban, Omer – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2009
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of conceptual change oriented instruction (CCOI) over traditionally designed chemistry instruction (TDCI) on overcoming 10th grade students' misconceptions on gases concepts. In addition, the effect of gender difference on students' understanding of gases concepts was investigated. The…

Ozmen, Haluk – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2004
Students' misconceptions before or after formal instruction have become a major concern among researchers in science education because they influence how students learn new scientific knowledge, play an essential role in subsequent learning and become a hindrance in acquiring the correct body of knowledge. In this paper some students'…

Kelly, Resa M.; Jones, Loretta L. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2007
Animations of molecular structure and dynamics are often used to help students understand the abstract ideas of chemistry. This qualitative study investigated how the features of two different styles of molecular-level animation affected students' explanations of how sodium chloride dissolves in water. In small group sessions 18 college-level…

Rohas de Astudillo, Luisa; Niaz, Mansoor – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 1996
Investigates reasoning strategies students use in solving stoichiometric problems and explores the relation between these strategies and alternative conceptions, prior knowledge, and cognitive variables. Results show how stoichiometric relations produce conflicting situations for students leading to conceptual misunderstanding of certain concepts.…
