Mirjam Ndaimehafo Asilevi; Sirpa Kärkkäinen; Kari Sormunen; Sari Havu-Nuutinen – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
This paper describes and compares primary school students' perceptions of science learning skills in a teacher-centered approach (TCA) and in inquiry-based science fieldwork (IBSF). This comparison was prompted by primary school students' perceptions of science learning skills, which has recently gained momentum, and the Namibian primary schools'…

Cardona Zapata, Mónica Eliana; López Ríos, Sonia – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2022
Experimental activity in the physics teaching can be considered as a space in which teachers create contexts for students to approach the way scientific knowledge is constructed. In this sense, the strategies for the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the context of science education, has a wide potential to guide…

Chun Wang; Hepei Jiang; Yanjie Wu; Jing Hou; Zhangbin Su; Yiling Lin; Rongxian Zhang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In the face of an increasingly severe global climate change situation, carbon neutrality initiatives have been included in the development action plans of many countries around the world. The carbon neutrality vision will also accelerate the revolution in the energy systems of countries around the world, injecting new vitality into the upgrading…

Keviczky, László; Bányász, Csilla – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2017
The paper discusses some interesting, mainly philosophical paradigms of the modeling and control areas, which are still partly unsolved and/or only partially studied. First the possible introduction of a prejudice free control--similar to the term for the modeling introduced by Rudi Kalman--is investigated. Next the real constraints in real…

Lindfors, Maria; Bodin, Madelen; Simon, Shirley – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
It is a widely held view that students' epistemic beliefs influence the way they think and learn in a given context, however, in the science learning context, the relationship between sophisticated epistemic beliefs and success in scientific practice is sometimes ambiguous. Taking this inconsistency as a point of departure, we examined the…

Tornee, Niwat; Bunterm, Tassanee; Lee, Kerry; Muchimapura, Supaporn – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2019
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of traditional versus guided inquiry (with problem-solving process and cognitive function training) on high school chemistry knowledge, science process skills, scientific attitudes, and problem-solving competency. Two classes of students were recruited from three classes of Grade 11…

Hadiati, Soka; Kuswanto, Heru; Rosana, Dadan; Pramuda, Adi – International Journal of Instruction, 2019
This study aims to examine students' reasoning based on the model in each laboratory work style and find the effect on scientific attitude and student activity. This study uses a quantitative approach with the experimental method. The study was conducted in three classes with different lab work styles. Arduino and sensors were used as a…

Kizilaslan, Aydin – European Journal of Physics Education, 2019
Science education has an important role in children's understanding of the world, making the right decisions in accordance with their perceptions, using problem solving skills and scientific attitudes. In this study, the effects of activities prepared by considering the needs of visually impaired students on the development of scientific process…

McPadden, Daryl; Brewe, Eric – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
Representation use is a critical skill for learning, problem solving, and communicating in science, especially in physics where multiple representations often scaffold the understanding of a phenomenon. University Modeling Instruction, which is an active-learning, research-based introductory physics curriculum centered on students' use of…

Haglund, Jesper – Science & Education, 2017
Entropy is often introduced to students through the use of the disorder metaphor. However, many weaknesses and limitations of this metaphor have been identified, and it has therefore been argued that it is more harmful than useful in teaching. For instance, under the influence of the disorder metaphor, students tend to focus on spatial…

Saputri, Affa Ardhi; Wilujeng, Insih – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2017
This research aims at revealing (1) the suitability of physics e-scaffolding teaching media with mathematical and image/diagrammatic representation, as well as (2) the effectiveness of the e-scaffolding teaching media with mathematical and image/diagrammatic representation to improve students' problem solving ability and scientific attitude. It is…

Gillies, Robyn M.; Carroll, Annemaree; Cunnington, Ross; Rafter, Mary; Palghat, Kelsey; Bednark, Jeff; Bourgeois, Amanda – Australian Journal of Education, 2016
Teaching students to use and interpret different representational tools is critically important if they are to be scientifically literate, to understand how scientific ideas and concepts are represented and to appreciate how scientists think and act. Moreover, students not only need to be competent at using and explaining representations and…

Kapucu, S. – Science Education International, 2014
The aim of this study was to determine the salient beliefs of pre-service primary school teachers (PPSTs) about why they like or dislike physics and to explore whether these beliefs predict their teaching beliefs about physics. A total of 267 PPSTs (Male = 137, Female = 130) participated in the study. Qualitative data analyses were used and the…

Carlone, Heidi; Smithenry, Dennis – Science and Children, 2014
Imagine two fourth-grade classes. Both contain students of comparable demographics and highly respected teachers each with four to five years of experience. Both classes engage in science curricula that emphasize science and engineering practices as outlined in the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS Lead States 2013). Both classes…

Zhang, Ping; Ding, Lin – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
This paper reports a cross-grade comparative study of Chinese precollege students' epistemological beliefs about physics by using the Colorado Learning Attitudes Survey about Sciences (CLASS). Our students of interest are middle and high schoolers taking traditional lecture-based physics as a mandatory science course each year from the 8th grade…
