Archila, Pablo Antonio; Molina, Jorge; de Mejía, Anne-Marie Truscott – Research in Science Education, 2020
Contrary to the situation at primary, middle, and secondary school levels, university science courses provide students with very few opportunities to reflect upon the nature of science (NOS). The first goal of this study was to provide evidence that the co-construction of evolutionary trees, an important component of university biology education,…

Leinonen, Risto; Asikainen, Mervi A.; Hirvonen, Pekka E. – Research in Science Education, 2012
This study focuses on second-year university students' explanations and reasoning related to adiabatic compression of an ideal gas. The phenomenon was new to the students, but it was one which they should have been capable of explaining using their previous upper secondary school knowledge. The students' explanations and reasoning were…

Doymus, Kemal – Research in Science Education, 2008
This study investigates the effect of cooperative learning (jigsaw) versus individual learning methods on students' understanding of chemical equilibrium in a first-year general chemistry course. This study was carried out in two different classes in the department of primary science education during the 2005-2006 academic year. One of the classes…
