Kuan-Fu Chen; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Mei-Rong Alice Chen – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Many studies have incorporated concept maps into digital games to enable learners to make connections between subject concepts in the game. However, most learners do not associate spontaneously with the thematic concepts in the game but need to be facilitated by effective scaffolding mechanisms to reconceptualize the learning process and content.…

Gwo-Jen Hwang; Wen-Hua Chuang; Lu-Ho Hsia – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Many scientific concepts and theorems are often abstract and challenging to relate to real-life problems, making it difficult for students to grasp them. Therefore, some researchers have attempted to enhance students' understanding by employing a contextual learning approach, which allows students to apply scientific knowledge to real situations…

Horvat, Saša A.; Roncevic, Tamara N.; Arsenovic, Dragana Z.; Rodic, Dušica D.; Segedinac, Mirjana D. – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
The main problem in students' lower achievement lies in the cognitive complexity of the problem. The aim of this research was to create and validate the procedure for the assessment of the cognitive complexity of chemical technology problem tasks. The procedure included the creation of Tables for assessing the difficulty of concepts in chemical…

Montes, L. H.; Ferreira, R. A.; Rodríguez, C. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Attitudes towards learning chemistry have been little studied in secondary school students, especially regarding dimensions related to problem solving, the molecular atomic perspective of chemistry, and real-world connection of chemistry. In the present study, we first aimed to design and assess the psychometric properties of the attitude to…

Miha Slapnicar; Valerija Tompa; Saša A. Glažar; Iztok Devetak – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2018
Learning and presenting chemical concepts at the triple level of chemical concepts provides opportunities for the development of misconceptions. The research aimed to identify potential misconceptions of chemical concepts: the states of matter, a pure substance, a mixture, an element, a compound, a physical change, and a chemical reaction at the…

Moreno, Candido; Pham, Duyen; Ye, Li – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
Chemistry self-efficacy (CSE) was identified as a critical affective construct to predict student success in chemistry classrooms. We surveyed students at the beginning and toward the end of a semester to measure students' CSE beliefs in introductory and general chemistry courses at a Hispanic-serving institution in the United States. First, the…
