Altiparmak, Kemal – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
In mathematic courses, construction of some concepts by the students in a meaningful way may be complicated. In such circumstances, to embody the concepts application of the required technologies may reinforce learning process. Onset of learning process over daily life events of the student's environment may lure their attention and may…

Wee, Loo Kang; Tan, Kim Kia; Leong, Tze Kwang; Tan, Ching – Physics Education, 2015
This paper reports the use of Tracker as a computer-based learning tool to support effective learning and teaching of "toss up" and free fall motion for beginning secondary three (15?year-old) students. The case study involved (N = 123) students from express pure physics classes at a mainstream school in Singapore. We used eight…

Madu, B. C. – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2012
The study explored the efficacy of four-step (4-E) learning cycle approach on students understanding of concepts related to Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). 124 students (63 for experimental group and 61 for control group) participated in the study. The students' views and ideas in simple Harmonic Achievement test were analyzed qualitatively. The…

Dilber, Refik; Karaman, Ibrahim; Duzgun, Bahattin – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2009
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of conceptual change-based instruction and traditionally designed physics instruction on students' understanding of projectile motion concepts. Misconceptions related to projectile motion concepts were determined by related literature on this subject. Accordingly, the Projectile Motion…

Yuruk, Nejla; Beeth, Michael E.; Andersen, Christopher – Research in Science Education, 2009
This study investigated the effect of metaconceptual teaching interventions on students' understanding of force and motion concepts. A multimethod research design including quasi-experimental design and case study designs was employed to compare the effect of the metaconceptual activities and traditional instruction and investigate students'…
