Sabrina Barakat – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Resonance is a fundamental chemistry concept first introduced to students in General Chemistry I, reintroduced in Organic Chemistry I, and then utilized throughout other higher-level chemistry courses. A molecule or ion can be said to exhibit resonance when it can be represented by two or more chemical structures (i.e., Lewis structures) that…

Sun, Jiqing; Gu, Yifan – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
Fostering students' bidirectional conception of the equal sign (viewing the equal sign as indicating an equivalence of two sides rather than a 'show result' symbol) is challenging, and students' misconception of the equal sign is persistent. Some studies mention that in China, the pedagogical approach to introducing the equal sign supports…

Dersch, Anna-Sophia; Renkl, Alexander; Eitel, Alexander – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Previous research has shown that teachers hold misconceptions about multimedia learning (e.g., multimedia instruction needs to be adapted to students' learning styles), which may be at odds with evidence-based teaching. Objectives: Refutation texts are a classical method to reduce misconceptions and thus to stimulate conceptual change.…

Hartelt, Tim; Martens, Helge; Minkley, Nina – Science Education, 2022
Students possess alternative conceptions of many science topics, and these conceptions can act as obstacles for learning scientific concepts. In the field of biology education, students' alternative conceptions of evolution have been widely investigated. However, there is little research on how teachers diagnose and deal with these alternative…

Onur Bakir – Analytic Teaching and Philosophical Praxis, 2024
Although teachers are eager to facilitate community of inquiry (CoI) in their classrooms, they also fear being unable to convey the necessary knowledge to their students in an inquiry due to the inherent involvement of conflicting views, confusion, and a lack of strict definitions about the concepts. The author argues that the banking model of…

Fungirai Mudhefi; Koena Mabotja; Dimakatjo Muthelo – Perspectives in Education, 2024
The 21st-century mathematics classrooms should equip learners with well-grounded knowledge and thinking skills pertaining to geometry. However, Euclidean geometry remains one of the challenging, if not the most difficult topic for many learners. As a result, the purpose of this article is to interpret Grade 12 learners' learning difficulties in…

Sindhu, Raghubir Singh – Science Education International, 2021
A study on the misconceptions developed or held by teachers related to the two terms valence and valency was undertaken. A total of 48 teachers (26 males and 22 females) teaching the chemistry component of science subject to 14-16-year-old students, in 48 schools affiliated to one district, were randomly selected for the study by taking one…

Ndiaye, Yakhoub; Hérold, Jean-François; Chatoney, Marjolaine – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: Many researchers have investigated student reasoning in Newtonian mechanics. In 1979 Viennot revealed that most students associate the concept of force with the velocity or acceleration of a motion. Forty years later, student understandings remain a major challenge for teachers. The implications of this challenge are still unclear,…

Güveli, Ebru; Bulut, Demet Baran; Güveli, Hasan – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2021
Fraction is one of the important mathematics topics, and it has been determined that students at every grade have misconceptions about fractions. Regarding the fact that technology has been developing rapidly, it is actively used in educational institutions. It has a great number of benefits. It has become inevitable to associate conceptual change…

Oral, Sati Ceylan – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2021
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Prime Factors Chart (PFC) as an alternative teaching material, which was developed for teaching the concepts within the "factors and multiples" unit in the middle school mathematics curriculum. Twelve middle school mathematics teachers used the PFC to teach concepts, such as prime…

Toma, Mohosina Jabin; Rahman, S. M. Hafizur – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2021
Analogical reasoning is a basic learning mechanism. Analogy in teaching science is a very popular pedagogical approach in many countries. The use of analogy is not recognized as one of the formal teaching learning strategies to facilitate students' science learning in Bangladesh. In secondary science teaching, teachers' unconscious and…

Thomas, Casedy A. – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2021
This multi-case study examines how three elementary mathematics methods instructors, in the same teacher education program, provide their prospective teachers with learning opportunities. Qualitative data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and artifacts. The findings suggest that the instructors' beliefs associated with…
