Starns, Jeffrey J.; Cohen, Andrew L.; Bosco, Cara; Hirst, Jennifer – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
We tested a method for solving Bayesian reasoning problems in terms of spatial relations as opposed to mathematical equations. Participants completed Bayesian problems in which they were given a prior probability and two conditional probabilities and were asked to report the posterior odds. After a pretraining phase in which participants completed…

Branson, Mark – PRIMUS, 2019
Mathematics has a unique and powerful role to play in the teaching of social justice issues. There is substantial quantitative evidence for social injustice, but many citizens lack the quantitative skills to understand that evidence. A course in quantitative literacy is a unique opportunity to provide this quantitative understanding to a wide…

Bain, Kinsey; Rodriguez, Jon-Marc G.; Towns, Marcy H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The themes discussed in this study relate to how students reason about the information encoded in rate constants, which is important for developing a deep understanding of chemical kinetics at the molecular level. This study is part of a larger project centered more generally on students' understanding and use of mathematics in chemical kinetics.…

Frega, Ana Lucía; Limongi, Jorge Ramiro – International Journal of Music Education, 2019
Over the last years, "El Sistema" has been enthusiastically received around the world and has inspired several proposals aiming to transplant it to different contexts in different countries. It would seem, then, that "El Sistema" constitutes a renewed approach that allows a place for inclusive music education within the…

Flannery, William – Physics Teacher, 2019
This paper describes a high school or introductory university course in scientific programming that introduces the computer revolution into the physics curriculum at the beginning. In the first one-hour lecture, Euler's method is presented and used to compute a solution to the analytically unsolvable two-body problem. In the remainder of the…

Siklander, Pirkko; Impiö, Niina – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2019
We need to know what it means to be an expert in working life today. Universities are often accused of neglecting the basic idea that higher education should be relevant to working life, and research on the subject of expertise in today's workplace is lacking. Thirteen experts from different fields were interviewed and the obtained data were…

Riveros, Héctor G. – European Journal of Physics Education, 2019
This paper discusses the importance of one of the most crucial elements in science and technology education: the development of the individual capacity to cope with new problems. Also, discuss the importance of being aware of the existence of "formative objectives" and "tacit knowledge". In the planning of a course, taking into…

Wilcke, Holger; Budke, Alexandra – Education Sciences, 2019
Comparison is an everyday process of thinking, which is also frequently used in geography lessons. However, in geography pedagogy, the term 'comparison' remains vague and insufficiently defined. In this paper, we will propose a clear definition of what comparison is and introduce it as a systematic method for secondary school geography education.…

McGregor, Sue – Canadian Journal of Education, 2019
Social reconstructivism is suggested as an appropriate curriculum philosophy for education for sustainable consumption (ESC). Couched in framing the consumer culture as a powerful social institution that needs to be challenged and reformed, the position paper begins by defining sustainable consumption, including symptoms of unsustainable…

Kittiravechote, Aungtinee – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
Despite a tremendous success in boosting students learn electrical analogies for science education, it remains a challenge to extend such strategy for formally constructing equations related to the Ohm's law in order to solve electrical problems based on series and parallel circuits. Unlike most traditional works of teaching technique that focus…
