Mufit, Fatni; Festiyed; Fauzan, Ahmad; Lufri – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2023
The phenomenon of misconception and poor conceptual understanding is a problem that often occurs in science learning, not least in physics learning. Learning models that specifically aim to improve conceptual understanding and remediate misconceptions are not widely available. This study aims to determine the effect of the CCBL model in improving…

Sofía Judith Garófalo; Lydia Galagovsky; Manuel Alonso – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
In this work extensive misconceptions of university students'--from nutrition area--about the metabolism of carbohydrates (CHM) in the human organism have been documented. The results lead to consider their difficulties concerning the learning of a complex set of imbricated biochemical models involved. Pursuant to these considerations, three…

Terrell, Cassidy R.; Ekstrom, Thomas; Nguyen, Brian; Nickodem, Kyle – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Biochemistry curricula present a particular challenge to undergraduate students with abstract concepts which can lead to misconceptions that impede learning. In particular, these students have difficulty understanding enzyme structure and function concepts. Targeted learning activities and three-dimensional (3D) physical models are proposed to…

Espinoza, Cecilia; Orvis, Kathryn S.; Brophy, Sean P. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
This research investigates students' learning about the electron transport chain (ETC) process in photosynthesis by watching a video followed by playing a serious board game--"Electron Chute"--that models ETC. The learning objectives targeted enriching a mental model that students could use to explain the causal relationship of the ETC…

Devard, Sirjana – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Sixth-grade science students at Gauger-Cobbs Middle School in Newark, DE, had misconceptions about how heat energy moves in the hydrosphere through conduction, convection, and radiation. As a result, students struggled to develop and connect ideas that correctly and completely explained heat transfer in the hydrosphere at the end of the lesson…

Onur Bakir – Analytic Teaching and Philosophical Praxis, 2024
Although teachers are eager to facilitate community of inquiry (CoI) in their classrooms, they also fear being unable to convey the necessary knowledge to their students in an inquiry due to the inherent involvement of conflicting views, confusion, and a lack of strict definitions about the concepts. The author argues that the banking model of…

Dayal, Priya Dharshni; Ali-Chand, Zakia – New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, 2022
This paper discusses the significance of model-based teaching on the topic of ionic and metallic bonding in Year 12 Chemistry in a New Zealand secondary school. Based on the conceptualization of the sub-macro level understanding of the bonding structure and properties of ionic and metallic compounds, models and drawings were used as an effective…

Permatasari, Margaretha Bhrizda; Rahayu, Sri; Dasna, I Wayan – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
The abstractness of the chemistry concept can be understood easily through chemistry learning using multiple representations. This article used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to review eleven articles published from 2012 to 2021 and focused on chemistry learning using various representations. The articles are systematically obtained…

Alonzo, Alicia C.; von Aufschnaiter, Claudia – Physics Teacher, 2018
Addressing student conceptions with instruction has been a major issue in physics education for decades. However, too often the focus is on treating student ideas as "misconceptions" rather than as potentially productive ideas with varying degrees of sophistication. This paper introduces "learning progressions" as models that…

Sari, Puspita; Hajizah, Mimi Nur; Purwanto, Swida – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
The number line and the neutralization model have been used very extensively in teaching integer additions and subtractions for decades. Despite their advantages, issues concerning subtractions on these models are still debatable. Therefore, the neutralization on an empty number line (NNL) model is proposed in this research to help students better…

Brock, Richard – Science & Education, 2018
The conceptualisation of knowledge as justified true belief has been shown to be, at the very least, an incomplete account. One challenge to the justified true belief model arises from the proposition of situations in which a person possesses a belief that is both justified and true which some philosophers intuit should not be classified as…

Inel, Yusuf; Urhan, Emrah – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2020
This study aims to find out the effect of activities and practices on concept education to help carry out activities to teach these concepts more effectively and permanently, and determine student preconceptions about the concepts related to the landforms in the 5th-grade social studies curriculum in the learning subdomain called "People,…

Tri Jalmo; Tri Suwandi – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2018
This research aims to explore the concept of mental model of students about genetic concepts through drawing-writing test. The participants were 85 students of Biology Education at University of Lampung, which has taken genetics course. Mental model of students was categorized into five levels (levels 1-5) based on coding framework which was…

Krause, Eduard; Dilling, Frederik; Kraus, Simon Friedrich; Chi, Nguyen Phuong; Chat, Tran Ngoc; Van Bien, Nguyen – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This article presents a possible framework for the cooperation of mathematics and physics education research domains. Moreover, the potential topics for such a scientific collaboration are explained by means of a structuring qualitative content analysis of current handbooks and conference proceedings in Germany and Vietnam. These topics can form a…

Hill-Cunningham, P. Renee; Mott, Michael S.; Hunt, Anna-Blair – School Science and Mathematics, 2018
STEM education in elementary school is guided by the understanding that engineering represents the application of science and math concepts to make life better for people. The Engineering Design Process (EDP) guides the application of creative solutions to problems. Helping teachers understand how to apply the EDP to create lessons develops a…
