Permatasari, Margaretha Bhrizda; Rahayu, Sri; Dasna, I Wayan – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
The abstractness of the chemistry concept can be understood easily through chemistry learning using multiple representations. This article used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to review eleven articles published from 2012 to 2021 and focused on chemistry learning using various representations. The articles are systematically obtained…

Sherridon Leigh Sweeney – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Prior research has established preservice literacy teachers' beliefs about teaching and learning are often misguided and/or overly-simplistic, yet limited work has examined in what ways their in-the-moment teaching decisions align or misalign with what they believe. This qualitative study used deductive analysis methods to: (1) Identify three…

To develop expertise, novice chemistry students require deliberate practice with immediate and thoughtful feedback. Whereas opportunities for practice are often abundant, opportunities for feedback tend to be much scarcer. To address this challenge, we collaborated with students to develop a flexible and scalable online platform called…

Nalkiran, Turgay; Karamustafaoglu, Sevilay – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2020
With the developing technology educating students free from misconceptions, making sense of their learnings and using them in daily life are primarily aimed. This research is designed not only for teaching "work, energy and power" concepts and the relationships among them but also for investigating the effects of the teaching on…

Sivrikaya, Serpil Ozkurt – Journal of Education and Learning, 2020
Science education tries to develop students thinking, linking, analyzing by embodying an abstract concept. The modeling method is used as one of the methods used in science education. This research in 2018-2019 academic year at Kocaeli Vocational School, was applied to students who are taking the course. In this survey, the qualitative method is…

Christensen, Dana; Lombardi, Doug – Science & Education, 2020
Computational thinking is a contemporary science and engineering practice that has been introduced to the US science classrooms due to its emphasis in the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS). However, including computational thinking into science instruction may be challenging. Therefore, for biological evolution (an essential…

Hokor, Evans Kofi – Pedagogical Research, 2020
Several studies revealed that probability misconceptions were widespread among students, but the activities for addressing the misconceptions has been lacking. This study designed activities that reflect real life situations for addressing equiprobability bias, positive and negative recency effects, belief bias and representativeness bias for…

Mullins, Sara Brooke – Journal of Research in Education, 2020
The concept of angles is important for future geometric knowledge (Arslan et al., 2016; Moore, 2013; Yigit, 2014). However, although Piaget (1948) suggests angles lead to the discovery of lines, angles are typically taught later in schools, after points, lines, and planes (Charles, 2011). Therefore, the way in which angles are taught can affect…

Shephard, Kerry; Rieckmann, Marco; Barth, Matthias – Environmental Education Research, 2019
Education for sustainable development (ESD) and higher education for sustainable development (HESD) are complex, multidisciplinary fields of enquiry, drawing on concepts and terms from different disciplines and languages. Although the fields are advancing in their acceptability within educational systems worldwide, they are currently struggling to…

Kim, Thomas; Wright, L. Kate; Miller, Kathryn – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
Students in chemistry often demonstrate difficulty with the principle of resonance. Despite many attempts to mitigate this difficulty, there have been few attempts to examine the root cause of these issues. In this study, students were assessed for their perception of Kekule structures based on perceptual learning theory, which is grounded in…

Kimberly, Claire; Hardman, Alisha M. – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2019
Sexual assault on college campuses has been a longstanding problem in the USA. Unfortunately, relatively little has been done to look at the characteristics of these attacks and how they might relate to knowledge of sexual assault policies, participation in sex education courses, beliefs toward sexual violence, and willingness to intervene if an…
