de Sá Neto, Olimpio Pereira; Aquino Sousa, Herbert José; da Silva, Rafael Ferreira – Physics Teacher, 2022
We will present a problem-solving method for the dynamics of a projectile that has two perpendicular acceleration vectors through rotation of the axes. This methodology of reparameterizing the two-dimensional system simplifies the speed optimization calculus.

Danijela Dodlek; Gorazd Planinsic; Eugenia Etkina – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Research carried out through the last 20 years gave us undeniable evidence that to learn anything we need to be active participants, not passive observers. One of the important aspects of learning physics is constructing explanations of physical phenomena. To support and guide students toward constructing their explanations, teachers need to be…

Jingjing Han; Lina Zhang; Liucai Yang; Yougen Luo; Ruiqin Yao; Xuebin Qu – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
The primary objective of science postgraduate education is to foster students' capacity for creative thinking and problem-solving, particularly in the context of scientific research quality. In order to achieve this goal, the "7E" teaching mood has been implemented in the cell biology course for postgraduate students to promote…

Jonathan Robert Bowers – ProQuest LLC, 2024
To make sense of our interconnected and algorithm driven world, students increasingly need proficiency with computational thinking (CT), systems thinking (ST), and computational modeling. One aspect of computational modeling that can support students with CT, ST, and modeling is testing and debugging. Testing and debugging enables students to…

Christoph Hoyer; Raimund Girwidz – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Vector fields are a highly abstract physical concept that is often taught using visualizations. Although vector representations are particularly suitable for visualizing quantitative data, they are often confusing, especially when describing real fields such as magnetic and electric fields, as the vector arrows can overlap. The present study…

Grebenev, I. V.; Kazarin, P. V. – Physics Education, 2022
The article describes a methodology for studying Fresnel diffraction with the active involvement of students in discussing the results of a demonstration experiment. To create a clearly visible model of Fresnel zones, a centimeter radio wave range was chosen, in which the first zone is about 10 cm in size. This makes visible the created…

Case-based learning (CBL) is a learner-centric educational approach that fosters independent learning and exploration through case analysis, guided by teachers' heuristic instruction. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of CBL versus traditional teaching methods in advanced breast cancer education for residents. In this randomized controlled…

Odden, Tor Ole – Physics Teacher, 2021
What does it mean to "make sense" of physics? It's not a simple question. Most people have an intuitive feeling for when things do (or do not) make sense to them. But putting this feeling into words--especially actionable words--is another task entirely. Generally speaking, there are two ways in which we commonly use the term "make…

Alexander Natanzon; Evgeny Frishman – European Journal of Physics Education, 2021
In this article we show that the electrostatic field intensity of a uniformly charged straight line equals that of the corresponding arc of a circle charged with the same linear density. This new method greatly simplifies the calculation of the electrostatic field of a system consisting of uniformly charged straight lines.

Human-driven carbon emissions have resulted in increased levels of dissolved carbon dioxide in the Earth's oceans. This dissolved carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which impacts ocean acidity as well as the solubility of carbonate-containing compounds, with far-reaching impacts on marine ecosystems and the human communities…

Yajun Wei; Yi Zhong; Feipeng Pi – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Video instruction has been widely studied and is generally considered as effective as live instruction for teaching scientific concepts and procedures. However, there is limited research on the effectiveness of prerecorded videos for teaching more challenging content. This study conducted a controlled experiment on over 300 high school students to…

Shu-Chen Cheng; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Chih-Hung Chen – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Developing students' scientific literacy is the most important educational goal and challenge of the 21st century. Many studies have confirmed that flipped learning has significantly impacted learning science. Researchers indicate that the lack of an appropriate learning guidance strategy in the pre-class stage for flipped learning will influence…

This study aims to develop a structured scaffolding-guided inquiry (SSGI) learning model that is oriented toward nurturing argumentation skills to solve complex problems. Test the effectiveness of the SSGI model in improving students' argumentation skills to solve complex problems. This research is development research that refers to Dick and…

Rachel M. Doughty – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Escape rooms are making their way into the chemistry classroom as a learning tool. However, escape rooms require a large amount of preparation and setup, and they are only novel and exciting for a single play-through. For escape room games to be incorporated into multiple class periods, they must be streamlined for reuse. In this work, I introduce…

The low level of students' scientific reasoning skills is caused by the low-quality learning process. Action is needed to improve the learning process by applying innovative learning models, the Reading, Identification, Constructing, Solving, Reviewing, and Extending (RICOSRE) learning model. This research aims to determine the effect of RICOSRE…
