Kulgemeyer, Christoph; Schecker, Horst – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2014
This paper gives an overview of research on modelling science competence in German science education. Since the first national German educational standards for physics, chemistry and biology education were released in 2004 research projects dealing with competences have become prominent strands. Most of this research is about the structure of…

Schroeder, Carolyn M.; Scott, Timothy P.; Tolson, Homer; Huang, Tse-Yang; Lee, Yi-Hsuan – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2007
This project consisted of a meta-analysis of U.S. research published from 1980 to 2004 on the effect of specific science teaching strategies on student achievement. The six phases of the project included study acquisition, study coding, determination of intercoder objectivity, establishing criteria for inclusion of studies, computation of effect…

Darmawan, I Gusti Ngurah; Keeves, John P. – International Education Journal, 2006
A major issue in educational research involves taking into consideration the multilevel nature of the data. Since the late 1980s, attempts have been made to model social science data that conform to a nested structure. Among other models, two-level structural equation modelling or two-level path modelling and hierarchical linear modelling are two…
