Caramaschi, Martina; Cullinane, Alison; Levrini, Olivia; Erduran, Sibel – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The article describes the analysis of the Italian physics curriculum documents in terms of the coverage of nature of science (NOS). NOS is not explicitly presented as part of the Italian high-school physics curriculum. The article focuses on analysing the implicit aspects of the curriculum documents. The Family Resemblance Approach (FRA) to NOS…

Peter Gustafsson; Hans G. Eriksson – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2017
With more diversified student groups entering the university, the 7become more pedagogically challenging. In earlier studies, a validated tool, content representation (CoRe), has been used in teacher education to help pre-service teachers identify and promote pedagogical content knowledge in limited teaching sequences. In the present research the…

Crook, Simon J.; Sharma, Manjula D.; Wilson, Rachel – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2015
Using a mixed-methods approach the authors compared the associated practices of senior physics teachers (n = 7) and students (n = 53) in a 1:1 laptop environment with those of senior biology teachers (n = 10) and students (n = 125) also in a 1:1 laptop environment, in seven high schools in Sydney, NSW, Australia. They found that the physics…
