The development of learning practices that enable students to transfer knowledge across contexts, is a dominant topic in Physics Education Research. Assessment is a key activity in the learning process. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the value of analysing introductory physics assessments using the Semantics dimension of Legitimation…

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of using scientific news in science class on the perspective of 7th-grade middle school students against technological developments in science. In this study, a single group pre-test post-test experimental design was used. The research group of this study consists of 46 students studying in a public…

Self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) is an instructional framework considered to be an evidence-based practice in writing. In this article, SRSD's foundations and structure is briefly described. Then, the authors provide a summary of studies of SRSD applied across content areas, including writing, reading, mathematics, science, and social…

We present an empirically based model for teaching about planning in pre-service science teacher education as part of on-campus courses. Planning is usually taught through the introduction of theoretically based planning models, but these models commonly assume a linear idea of planning that does not match how teachers go about planning. We…

Although many studies are analyzing the effect of the STEM model on students' cognitive characteristics, it is known that there are not many studies conducted especially on its impact on students' conceptions of learning (COL), and it is thought that there is a need for these studies as well. It is necessary to determine how COL, which may vary…

The use of technology in education gained importance in the 21st century and the use of innovative technologies in education-technology integration came to the agenda. This study examines students' attitudes, thoughts, suggestions and opinions about digital hologram, which is one of the innovative technologies. The method used in the study was…

The ability to use modern technologies, and particularly the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into subject teaching, has become one of the fundamental graduate attributes for many teacher education (TE) programmes as they prepare future teachers for the 4th industrial revolution (4IR). Research suggests, however,…

Educational games can be used as an effective means of transferring knowledge in a fun way to complement education and training. The aim of the study was to develop a game and get students' opinions on the game that can be played in Organic Chemistry courses in order to teach the names of commonly used organic compounds with cyclic and aromatic…

Reading comprehension is an important skill throughout all stages of education. However, Portuguese pupils still demonstrate difficulties in understanding what they read. In addition to cognitive and psychological factors, it is important to understand how this skill is addressed in textbooks. Here, we examined how reading comprehension is…

To support science teachers in learning how to engage in ambitious teaching practices, teacher educators, professional development facilitators, and researchers need to develop a nuanced understanding of the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) that science teachers access and use in their daily work. Despite the consensus on the importance of…

Introductory physics lab courses serve as the starting point for students to learn and experience experimental physics at the undergraduate level. They often focus on measurement uncertainty, an essential topic for practicing physicists and a foundation for more advanced lab learning. As such, measurement uncertainty has been a focus when studying…

There has been a recent increase in research interest in the ways that visual representation is used to facilitate students' understanding in science classrooms. Yet while many studies have explored individual students' drawing, few studies have looked into drawing as a collective tool to engage students in thinking and talking together in science…

Regarding 21st-century learning, scientific literacy is an important competency which must be owned by students. Nevertheless, scientific literacy of Indonesian students has been recognized in low level. This study aimed to describe students' scientific literacy in Bryophyta topic using problem-based learning. This Classroom Action Research (CAR)…

Learning is a process of interaction between students and educators as considerable as learning resources in learning environment. The use of media in learning plays an important role in providing clearer explanation for difficult materials or concepts for students. This research aimed at developing booklet as a biology teaching supplement,…

Renewable energy is a trending topic due to its importance in today's society especially because of global warming. Because of its importance, this topic should be discussed at schools in an inclusive education environment. Experimental work is a very good activity to provide students effective conceptual discussions, but it is necessary to…
