Sarigoz, Okan – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2022
Chaos is a scientific approach that refers to the fact that systems or behaviors that are thought to be irregular, complex, impossible to predict actually occur in an orderly manner. The aim of this research is to determine what chaos and butterfly effect mean in terms of education, the importance of chaos and butterfly effect in education and its…

Imphong, Nantakarn – Journal of Education and Learning, 2023
This research was qualitative, it was to investigate Buddhist cosmology as found in Buddhist scriptures and compare cosmological perspectives between 5 Buddhist scholars and 5 scientists. In Thai Buddhist cosmology, the principles of "Pa?iccasamuppada" and "Tilakkha?a" share some similar ideas with the causality principle of…

Brakhage, Henriette; Gröschner, Alexander; Gläser-Zikuda, Michaela; Hagenauer, Gerda – Research in Science Education, 2023
Research indicates that students' interest in science decreases during their school years. To counteract this, a quasi-experimental instructional intervention was designed in which we addressed students' leisure interests to foster their (situational) interest in physics. Students in the intervention group got the opportunity to choose topics…

Schizas, Dimitrios; Psillos, Dimitris; Stamou, George – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
The present study investigates how Greek in-service secondary education biology teachers understand the unique features of school biology and physics when considering the biological theoretical edifice and method. Our theoretical framework focuses on important differences that exist between the neo-Darwinian and Newtonian worldviews, while our…

Cramer, Claes – Physics Education, 2022
The principle of relativity is of fundamental importance in practice when we are solving problems in physics since the axiom states that the result of any physical experiment is the same when performed with identical initial conditions relative to any inertial coordinate system. Hence, conceptual knowledge of coordinate systems is central in any…

Vegard Gjerde; Martino Marisaldi; Kjellmar Oksavik; Kjartan Olafsson; Harald Spångberg; Bodil Holst – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Students and educators often face time constraints, making it essential to develop interventions that are both easy to implement and have a substantial impact on learning and performance. One promising strategy is retrieval practice, particularly in the context of physics education, where many students struggle with basic knowledge. Prior research…

Greenstein, George – Physics Teacher, 2022
During the early decades of the 18th century, Newtonian physics was still new. Much effort was expended in testing its validity. One arena in which evidence could be found was the shape of Earth. Was it perfectly spherical? On the observational side there were two hints. In 1671 Jean Richer had measured the rate of ticking of a pendulum clock near…

Atike Sari; Çigdem Sahin Çakir – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2024
This study employed a case study methodology to investigate students' misconceptions about solid, liquid, and atmospheric pressure. The research included 36 8th-grade students from various middle schools in Giresun, comprising 19 girls and 17 boys. Data collection involved a test consisting of 14 concept cartoon questions, and the concept cartoons…

This research investigates the abilities of undergraduate students to apply scientific reasoning in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the concept of force and motion. Forty-three first-year undergraduate students from an Indonesian private institution, comprising 20 males and 23 females, performed the Scientific Reasoning Test of Motion (SRTM)…

Munezero, Vianney; Yadav, Lakhan; Bugingo, Jean Bosco – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
Guided by the analytical framework in the current literature, whereby ten nature of science (NOS) aspects were targeted, this study aims at assessing the extent to which the three physics textbooks for Cycle 4 of Fundamental Schools in Burundi represent the NOS aspects. The quantitative embedded research design which combines the qualitative and…

Yuze He – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2025
Chinese 2017 General High School Physics Curriculum Standards explicitly include understanding the nature of science (NOS) as core literacy for students. History, philosophy of science, and sociology of science (HPSS) education is an important way to promote students' understanding of the nature of science. In this context, this study analyzed the…

Apaydin, Sezen; Karaman, Ayhan; Baysal, Hüsnü – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2022
The aim of the present study was to explore how physicists start their research studies, how they identify their research questions and what factors influence their involvement in studying a specific research problem. The grounded theory methodology was adopted in the study by considering the qualitative nature of the research questions. The study…

Tomkelski, Mauri Luís; Baptista, Mónica; Richit, Adriana – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
The article analyses teachers' learning on the use of multiple representations (MRs) in the teaching of Ohm's law, examining them in a lesson study, structured in 18 meetings of 2.5 hours each, that addressed this physics curricular topic for the 3rd grade of high school. The qualitative research involved four teachers who teach physics in…

Hughes, Stephen – Physics Education, 2022
Archimedes' principle is one of the foundation subjects in physics. Normally the principle is exemplified by reference to floating boats. However, Archimedes' principle also applies to objects embedded in waterlogged ground, which can lead to the surprising result of an object weighing several tons being lifted. A practical example is presented of…

Kostøl, Kristine Bakkemo; Bøe, Maria Vetleseter; Skår, Aud Ragnhild – Science & Education, 2023
Developing students' understanding of the nature of science (NOS) is seen as critical for educating scientifically literate citizens, and has emerged as an important curricular goal internationally. In Norway, a new curriculum reform has recently been implemented, intended to improve the Norwegian education in several ways. The reform aims to…
