Properties of chemical substances drive a large portion of research in the sciences, but properties are very difficult to search in full text documents, and while searches in chemical information retrieval resources may help, the effective use of such resources may require considerable knowledge of the indexing and excerption policies in the…

Ganesh, Padma – Physics Teacher, 2020
Kinesthetic experiences in the classroom seek to engage students by muscle movement, touch, or some form of physical activity. In this article, I describe an active learning session wherein students develop a qualitative understanding of center of mass and support forces using their sense of touch. The set of activities detailed here is based on a…

Vasconcelos, Lucas; Kim, ChanMin – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
Scientific modeling and coding are critical skills to be integrated into K-12 instruction. Research has shown that preservice teachers are often ill-prepared for teaching scientific modeling, and lack opportunities to learn coding within teacher education programs. The present study reports the implementation of an instructional module and online…

Howard-Jones, Paul; Jay, Tim; Galeano, Laura – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2020
This pilot study investigated how a brief professional development session on the science of learning impacted teachers' attributions of usefulness to both scientific and performative concepts about teaching. Ratings were collected from teachers attending five events across the United Kingdom (N = 585) before and after receiving a 90-min training…

Suárez, H. J. Herrera; Machado-Higuera, M.; Muñoz, J. H. – Physics Education, 2020
In this paper, the dynamic case of a system made up of two blocks connected by a string over a smooth pulley is revisited. One mass lies on a horizontal surface without friction, and the other mass has a vertical displacement. The motion equation is obtained and its solution is determined using the "Mathematica" package. Also an…

In this article, we propose an analysis of the state of, and trends in, the field of conceptual change research in science education through the lens of its models. Using a quantitative approach, we reviewed all conceptual change articles (n = 245) published in five major journals in the field of science education in search of the support that…

Equivalence of Entropy Balancing and the Method of Moments for Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison
Phillippo, David M.; Dias, Sofia; Ades, A. E.; Welton, Nicky J. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Indirect comparisons are used to obtain estimates of relative effectiveness between two treatments that have not been compared in the same randomized controlled trial, but have instead been compared against a common comparator in separate trials. Standard indirect comparisons use only aggregate data, under the assumption that there are no…

Nuryantini, Ade Yeti; Nuryadin, Bebeh Wahid – Physics Education, 2020
The vector of aircraft motion and analysis using FlightRadar24 and Tracker motion analysis has been investigated and studied. The straight, turning and circular aircraft motion were recorded from www.flightradar24.com using a commercial desktop video recording. Then, the video of the aircraft motion was analyzed using Tracker 5.1.1 to determine…

Tél, T.; Vinze, M.; Jánosi, I. M. – Physics Education, 2020
When injecting dye into a vortex, one finds that the dye remains captured around the vortex core over minutes, despite the fact that the vortex (and the dyed region) is strongly time-dependent. According to a recent theory, three-dimensional time-dependent vortices should be defined as rotating, material-holding regions of the fluid. Vortices…

Heck, André; Uylings, Peter – Physics Education, 2020
The fact that a bungee jumper can reach an acceleration greater than the acceleration of gravity is, also from a physics point of view, intriguing. Taking only gravity into account, it can be explained by applying conservation of energy or by deriving carefully the equation of motion in a Newtonian approach. In this article we show how it can be…

Putranta, Himawan; Wiyatmo, Yusman; Supahar, X. X.; Dwandaru, Wipsar Sunu Brams – Physics Education, 2020
Physics learning cannot be separated from the existence of physics measuring instruments, but their existence in schools are very limited. Therefore, creativity and innovation are needed to develop physics measuring instruments that are easily accessible by schools. This research aims to design and construct a liquid density measuring instrument…

Wright, Lyniesha Chanell; Oliver-Hoyo, Maria Theresa – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
The mental models students have after engaging in an activity designed to teach infrared (IR) spectroscopy without reliance on IR absorption tables, were characterized. Qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews, through open coding, allowed the classification of the mental models as Molecules as Dynamic (MAD), Bonds as Dynamic (BAD),…

Kondinski, Aleksandar; Moons, Jens; Zhang, Yujie; Bussé, Jakob; De Borggraeve, Wim; Nies, Erik; Parac-Vogt, Tatjana N. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Single-type, 6-fold symmetrically grooved, and commercially accessible interlocking disks (ILDs) have been used for modeling of sp[superscript 2] hybridized carbon-based nanoarchitectures and complex polyhedral and reticular material models. In the case of the carbon-based nanoarchitectures, we showcase that the primary ILDs can be directly used…

Bergan-Roller, Heather E.; Galt, Nicholas J.; Helikar, Tomáš; Dauer, Joseph T. – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
Meaningful learning occurs by relating new information to and revising prior knowledge, making it essential to understand student knowledge before helping them move toward a more scientific understanding. In this study, we characterise prior knowledge about cellular respiration in undergraduate students enrolled in introductory biology by…

Spathopoulos, Vassilios McInnes – Physics Education, 2020
The ancient Greek astronomers devised ingenious methods for measuring the size and distances of the Earth, Moon and Sun. The concepts were beautifully simple and although in most cases could only yield approximate results, they have the advantage that they can be understood by anyone with a basic mathematical background. The emergence of…
