Werner, Sonja; Förtsch, Christian; Boone, William; von Kotzebue, Lena; Neuhaus, Birgit J. – Research in Science Education, 2019
To obtain a general understanding of science, model use as part of National Education Standards is important for instruction. Model use can be characterized by three aspects: (1) the characteristics of the model, (2) the integration of the model into instruction, and (3) the use of models to foster scientific reasoning. However, there were no…

Guerra, Genaina Fernandes; Noll, Matias – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
This study evaluated how the process of teaching scientific methodology occurs in technical courses in integrated high schools. The qualitative case study was conducted through documentary analysis (based on regulations and pedagogical projects) and semi-structured interviews with teachers (n=7), coordinators (n=3), and students (n=16) of the…

Wangdi, Dumcho; Tshomo, Sonam; Lhamo, Sonam – Journal of Instructional Research, 2020
This study explores Bhutanese in-service science teachers' conceptions of the nature of science (NOS) by using the Understanding Nature of Science (UNOS) questionnaire. The 15, two-tiered items focus on the five aspects of NOS: (1) scientific knowledge; (2) scientific theories and laws; (3) scientific method; (4) scientists' work; and (5)…

de Souza, Renata Torres Mattos P.; Kasseboehmer, Ana Cla´udia – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
This paper reports the development of a digital escape room for high school students using Genially, a web-based media platform. The escape room was used to aid understanding of basic concepts in chemistry and mostly enhance students' classes participation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The activity entitled "The thalidomide mystery"…

Experiments that measure the speed of sound in air are common in high schools and colleges. In the Kundt's tube experiment, a horizontal air column is adjusted until a resonance mode is achieved for a specific frequency of sound. When this happens, the cork dust in the tube is disturbed at the displacement antinode regions. The location of the…

Abu, Yuval Ben; Wolfson, Ira; Bran, Gil; Yizhaq, Hezi – Physics Education, 2017
In high-school teaching of mechanics, we deal, among other things, with the nature of static and kinetic friction, forces that are proportional to the normal force. Under the influence of frictional forces, a body moves down a rough sloped decline at a fixed rate of acceleration that is independent of its mass. This situation does not apply to…

Azurdia, Edward; O'Hare, Matthew; Reay, William; Walker, Daniel – School Science Review, 2018
After seeing several reports in newspapers making claims about the cause of death after children had swallowed button batteries, a team of students decided to try to establish which (if any) claims were true. The findings were reported in the Schools Exhibition at the ASE Annual Conference 2018 in Liverpool and are shared in detail here. (A…

Chang, Chia-Jung; Liu, Chen-Chung; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2016
Researchers and educators have paid much attention to scientific explanation as it is regarded as one of the important scientific inquiry skills. Recently, Tablet computers have allowed students to draw together with text and vocal narrations as a learning strategy to prompt them to articulate their scientific explanations. However, the literature…
