Silverman, Julian R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
As introductory chemistry courses expose students to many distinctive properties of matter, it is helpful to systematically evaluate and relate different measures such as mass, moles, and molarity, or specific heat capacity and heat capacity. Intensive and extensive designations help distinguish intrinsic and component properties of a system and…

Dewei Ye; Jiali Qian; Wangyi Xu; Yuyang Lu; Shuli Wang; Longhai Xiao; Lei Bao – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
The galvanic cell is a typical interdisciplinary topic, which is primarily taught in chemistry but its underpinning is closely related to physics. Student learning in galvanic cell has been extensively studied in chemistry education, which has revealed a large number of misconceptions that are difficult to change through traditional instruction. A…

Shi, Guanxue; Bi, Hualin – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
This study evaluated recent advances in learning progressions for the concept of matter (LPCM) and explored trends by reviewing the literature on the topic published between 2005 and 2021. A total of 21 studies were reviewed. Fifteen studies were devoted to developing LPCM of varying spans and grain sizes. There were six follow-up studies based on…

Leonora Kaldaras; Carl Wieman – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
The ability to express scientific concepts in mathematical terms and integrate scientific and mathematical reasoning about a phenomenon is a foundational cognitive process involved in scientific thinking. This process called "blended math-science sensemaking" (MSS) is a desired skill for all science, technology, engineering, and math…

Breanne A. Kirsch; Theodore Bryan; David Hoferer – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
There is a growing need for college science faculty to teach a diverse group of learners. The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework can be used to create inclusive learning materials and activities in the higher education science classroom. A UDL Academy introduced science faculty to the UDL framework, which led to them implementing UDL in…

Hugo Vieira; Carla Morais – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2025
Educators cannot overlook the affect's potential for students' educational success. In this study, affective analogies are proposed as a didactic resource to foster students' affect for chemistry learning and positive attitudes towards the physics-chemistry subject. To examine the influence of the affective analogies on it, we grouped contents of…

Dogan, Yunus; Batdi, Veli; Yasar, Mehmet Diyaddin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Flipped classroom, which is inversion of conventional classroom procedures in simple terms, currently stands out as a popular teaching strategy for many Science courses. Purpose: In this article, we tried to make a reinterpretation of the findings of recent empirical studies conducted on the effectiveness of the flipped classroom…

Catalin Koro Arvidsson – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
This study investigates if a force-based teaching approach, based on quantum mechanical principles and developed in a lesson study, would enhance the understanding of chemical bonding among upper secondary school students. The teaching approach was based on research on the teaching and learning of chemical bonding. The study included first-year…

Kathryn T. Wissman; Alexey Leontyev – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
The incorporation of evidence-based practices into the classroom increases achievement and retention of students in STEM. However, the effectiveness of these practices depends on the degree to which faculty are knowledgeable about the strategies and implement the strategies in their teaching. This study investigates the familiarity, adoption, and…

Gelir, Iskender – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
This study investigates children's science learning in a nursery in Turkey. The participating children (aged 5 and 6) are from a socio-economically disadvantaged community. This is an ethnographic study that includes participant observations and audio recordings of classroom interactions based on a long-term basis. It takes a socio-cultural…

Gamze Comez; Gulbin Ozkan – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2025
This study aims to investigate the effect of the flipped learning model in science education. Therefore, articles in the Web of Science database were analyzed using the systematic review method. During the research, 1627 data points were obtained using the keyword 'flipped learning.' Articles between 2013 and 2023 were examined during the research…

Sezer, Kübra; Karatas, Faik Özgür – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
Analogies are bridges between prior knowledge and new knowledge to make meaning of the new one. Analogies are particularly effective in teaching science concepts that are not very apparent in the students' everyday lives due to their abstract nature. For this reason, it is essential to adapt analogies to teach new concepts effectively in science…

Balabanoff, Morgan; Kaur, Simreen; Barbera, Jack; Moon, Alena – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Across science disciplines, light is a common tool for measuring, characterizing, and catalysing molecules and molecular processes. Despite the ubiquity of light-based tools, little research has been done to investigate how students understand light and light-matter interactions (LMI). This topic is typically first introduced in first-year…
