Lindfors, Maria; Bodin, Madelen; Simon, Shirley – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
It is a widely held view that students' epistemic beliefs influence the way they think and learn in a given context, however, in the science learning context, the relationship between sophisticated epistemic beliefs and success in scientific practice is sometimes ambiguous. Taking this inconsistency as a point of departure, we examined the…

She, Hsiao-Ching; Lin, Huann-shyang; Huang, Li-Yu – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Abstract The 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has drawn a substantial amount of attention from science educators and educational policymakers because it marked the first time that PISA assessed students' ability to evaluate and design scientific inquiry using computer-based simulations. We undertook a secondary analysis…

Jaakkola, Tomi; Nurmi, Sami; Veermans, Koen – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
The aim of this experimental study was to compare learning outcomes of students using a simulation alone (simulation environment) with outcomes of those using a simulation in parallel with real circuits (combination environment) in the domain of electricity, and to explore how learning outcomes in these environments are mediated by implicit (only…
