Gumilar, Surya; Ismail, Ali – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Physics textbooks are a learning resource for students to acquire knowledge and information. The findings of previous studies on physics textbooks analysis have mostly focused on representations of gender, the nature of science, and scientific literacy. This study, therefore, extends the critical content analysis of physics textbooks…

Ladewig, Antonia; Köller, Olaf; Neumann, Knut – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
The German Physics Olympiad is an extracurricular science contest for students. Here, they have the opportunity to compete against other talented students, can do physics outside of school, and take a first step to more engagement in the domain. Yet, female students participate in the competition in fewer numbers and are disproportionally more…

Saeed Salimpour; Michael Fitzgerald; Robert Hollow – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Over the years, there have been various calls to increase and better represent astronomy in curricula. This is motivated by views within the astronomy and astronomy education communities that the awe, wonder, and interdisciplinary nature of astronomy has the potential to engage students in STEM across disciplines. Reviews of curricula have shown…

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…

Abraham, Jessy; Barker, Katrina – Research in Science Education, 2023
In recent decades, several countries have made efforts to close the historic gender gap in physics through curricular reforms. Research indicates that while the acute underrepresentation of females in physics courses and related careers is linked to a number of interlaced social, contextual and motivational factors, the personal relevance of…

Pía José González-García; Anna Marbà-Tallada; Mariona Espinet – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
The introduction of Green Chemistry (GC) into school science curriculum is considered an important step that encourages students to build connections between chemistry, other school subjects, and different aspects of their daily lives. The concepts associated with GC can be applied throughout the various levels of education with different degrees…

Petr Kácovský; Tereza Jedlicková; Radim Kuba; Marie Snetinová; Petra Surynková; Matej Vrhel; Eva Stratilová Urválková – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
A curriculum is generally regarded as an instructional plan that describes what, why and how students should learn. In this comparative study, we analysed the Czech and Slovak intended curricula of science subjects (physics, chemistry, biology, geography, and geology) and mathematics by comparing their national curriculum documents in terms of…

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…

Govender, Nadaraj; Mudzamiri, Edson – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2022
Developing and integrating culturally aligned curriculum models which promote use of resources, such as indigenous artefacts, has been a challenge in science curriculum reforms. The study focused on the development of an integrated indigenous-pedagogical model for use in high school physics curriculum. The views of elders, teachers and learners in…

Lyublinskaya, Irina; Petrova, Elena – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
For a long time, Soviet students learned 'pure' mathematics in their mathematics classrooms, while applications of mathematics were introduced in their science (mainly physics) classrooms. This approach was a part of a uniform and rigid national curriculum. Even when in the 1990s the world was moving towards including applications in school…
