Kuromiya, Hiroyuki; Majumdar, Rwitajit; Ogata, Hiroaki – Educational Technology & Society, 2020
Evidence-based education has become more relevant in the current technology-enhanced teaching-learning era. This paper introduces how Educational BIG data has the potential to generate such evidence. As evidence-based education traditionally hooks on the meta-analysis of the literature, so there are existing platforms that support manual input of…

Meli, Kalliopi; Zacharos, Konstantinos; Koliopoulos, Dimitrios – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2016
This article presents a case study that examines the level of integration of mathematical knowledge in physics problem solving among first grade students of upper secondary school. We explore the ways in which two specific students utilize their knowledge and we attempt to identify the epistemological framings they refer to while solving a physics…

Didis, Nilufer; Eryilmaz, Ali; Erkoc, Sakir – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2010
When quantum theory caused a paradigm shift in physics, it introduced difficulties in both learning and teaching of physics. Because of its abstract, counter-intuitive and mathematical structure, students have difficulty in learning this theory, and instructors have difficulty in teaching the concepts of the theory. This case study investigates…

Venville, Grady; Oliver, Mary; Longnecker, Nancy; Rennie, Leonie – Teaching Science, 2010
This research used a survey and interviews to find out which science subjects 174 Year 10 students wanted to study in Year 11 and why. The results showed that the major reasons students wanted to study a particular science subject were because they were interested in the subject matter and because they felt they would achieve well in that subject.…
