Johnson, Sidney L.; Hatzikoutelis, Athanasios; Smallwood, Christopher L. – Physics Teacher, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic imposed profound changes on the way we think about undergraduate physics education. Online courses became mainstream. Exam formats were reimagined. Digital whiteboards replaced face-to-face discussions. Laboratory classes were outfitted with home-delivered supply kits. And all of us developed a more intimate knowledge of…

Pincelli, M. M.; Brustle, M.; Formichella, M. del C.; Perez-Millán, C.; Palmieri, N.; Otranto, S. – Physics Education, 2020
In this work, an adaptation is developed of the first observation attempted by Galileo to demonstrate the heliocentric hypothesis to be correct. The objective is to enable students in their final year of elementary school to confront by themselves the same contradictory evidence that Galileo confronted during the second decade of the 17th century.…

Suprapto, Nadi; Ibisono, Handal Setyo; Mubarok, Husni – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2021
Planetary motion in physics learning is an abstract concept and requires high reasoning. This article is one of the augmented realities (AR)-based pocketbook development on the planetary motion, focusing on student learning achievement. The study used the ADDIE model : "Analysis-Design-Development-Implementation-Evaluation". In the…

Narjaikaew, Pattawan; Jeeravipoonvarn, Varanya; Pongpisanou, Kanjana; Lamb, Dennis – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2016
Teachers are viewed as the most significant factor affecting student learning. However, research in science education showed that teachers often demonstrate misunderstandings of science very similar to students. The purpose of this research was to correct conceptual difficulties in science of Thai primary school science and non-science teachers…

Steinberg, Richard; Cormier, Sebastien – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
This study reports on a content course for science immersion teacher candidates that emphasized authentic practice of science and thinking scientifically in the context of introductory astrophysics. We explore how 122 science teacher candidates spanning three cohorts did and did not reason scientifically and how this evolved in our program. Our…
