Rex Taibu; Lloyd M. Mataka – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2025
To explain experiences of riders of rotating systems, such as a merry-go-round, some physics educators have employed the concept of 'centrifugal force.' However, others have suggested that the term is unnecessary in explaining experiences in rotating systems and that it encourages misconceptions surrounding circular motion dynamics. Owing to this…

Mingyu Yang; Bryan C. Armpriest; L. Kate Wright; Dina L. Newman – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Energy is a crosscutting concept in science, but college students often perceive a mismatch between how their biology and chemistry courses discuss the topic. The challenge of reconciling these disciplinary differences can promote faulty reasoning--for example, biology students often develop the incorrect idea that breaking bonds is exothermic and…

Mine Isiksal Bostan; Serife Sevinç; Magdalini Lada; Zbynek Kubácek – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
In this cross-national study, we explore the different ways of reasoning-and-proving (RP) presented in three 8th grade textbooks, one from each country: Turkey, Norway, and Slovakia. While the analysis revealed that all three textbooks contain similar numbers of problems involving some form of RP, differences exist in terms of the dominating ways…

Helena Johansson; Magnus Österholm – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
It is agreed that algebra has an important role in physics, particularly through handling symbols. A lot of previous research has focused on how mathematics is used in physics from perspectives where mathematics is taken for granted, and not addressing potential differences of mathematics in the physics classroom and in the mathematics classroom.…
