Jeannette Pols; Amade M'charek; Sonja Jerak-Zuiderent; Jonna Brenninkmeijer – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2024
There are worries about the quality of scientific research, the validity of the knowledge it produces and the integrity of academics. What is lacking in the debate is what scientists have to say and what they do to create and safeguard what they see as 'good science'. Using Dutch academia as a case, we show that the academics' understandings of…

Shipra Awasthi; Sunil Kumar; Manorama Tripathi – International Journal for Educational Integrity, 2024
Higher educational institutions in India actively address plagiarism through policies, training, and library initiatives. Despite efforts, frequent plagiarism incidents leading to retractions suggest gaps in understanding policies or their effectiveness. This study explores research students' awareness of anti-plagiarism norms and differences by…

Puleng Motseki; Kakoma Luneta – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
Among the problems identified at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, low achievement in mathematical subjects is the most prominent one. This paper documents a qualitative case study undertaken at TVET College in Gauteng with the purpose of exploring the National Certificate Vocational (NC(V)) Level 4 students' errors…

Lan Yang; Leheng Huang; Xianqiu Wu; Jianwen Xiong; Lei Bao; Yang Xiao – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
In physics education, a number of studies have developed assessments of teachers' knowledge of student understanding (KSU) of specific physics concepts with modified versions of existing concept inventories, in which teachers were asked to predict the popular incorrect answers from students. The results provide useful but indirect information to…

Andrea Kunze; Rodney Hopson – Studies in Graduate and Postdoctoral Education, 2024
Purpose: This study aims to explore how science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) graduate students' experiences with and conceptualizations of racism can more clearly expose the current racial climate across multiple academic institutions. Design/methodology/approach: A mixed-method approach using a single online…

Katarina B. Putica – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
As detection and subsequent remediation of misconceptions developed within high-school organic chemistry courses in regard to various classes of organic compounds are a prerequisite for meaningful learning of more advanced organic chemistry content, this study sought to identify high-school students' misconceptions about alcohols and carbonyl…

Georgiou, Neophytos; Delfabbro, Paul; Balzan, Ryan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
Conspiracy theory (CT) beliefs have become an important policy-relevant research area since the events of the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasing interest has been directed towards strategies that might reduce people's susceptibility to conspiratorial beliefs. In this study, we examined whether encouraging a stronger orientation towards critical…

Martins, Iva; Baptista, Mónica; Reis, Pedro – Education 3-13, 2023
The shortage of students in STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) areas is a global concern and one of the reasons why students do not want to pursue STEM careers is the unenthusiastic image that they have about STEM areas. This study aims to examine the images that 135 Portuguese elementary students (7-12 years old) have about STEM…

Liu, Gang; Fang, Ning – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: A solid conceptual understanding is essential for students to succeed in all academic disciplines. Student misconceptions are correlated with their poor academic performance and high attrition rates. It is especially important to correct student misconceptions in science-based undergraduate engineering mechanics courses that cover…

Bickford, John H. – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2023
Teaching and learning are grounded on age-appropriate, credible curricular resources, which can be formal (i.e. textbooks) and informal (i.e. trade-books). As Charles Darwin's ideas galvanized biology and racism, this study examined his historical representation within trade-books (e.g. biography, narrative non-fiction, expository, etc.),…

Shi, Guanxue; Bi, Hualin – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
This study evaluated recent advances in learning progressions for the concept of matter (LPCM) and explored trends by reviewing the literature on the topic published between 2005 and 2021. A total of 21 studies were reviewed. Fifteen studies were devoted to developing LPCM of varying spans and grain sizes. There were six follow-up studies based on…

Jammeh, Abdou L. J.; Karegeya, Claude; Ladage, Savita – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
The study complements previous research on a case study of chemistry lesson plans design and teaching. It has been found that chemistry education in the Gambia has been challenged by ineffective lesson plans design and teaching, and laboratory resources. The consequences have been unsatisfactory learning outcomes. However, what could lead to…

Coleff, Joaquín; Rubbini, Camilo – Journal of Economic Education, 2023
The authors of this article propose a simple exercise of monopoly pricing to illustrate complex theoretical results on the welfare effects of group pricing. By exposing students to this exercise, they aim to bridge a gap between the standard textbook analysis of group pricing and more general results in the literature and clarify some students'…

Christou, Konstantinos P.; Vamvakoussi, Xenia – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
Over the last years, there is a growing interest in studying students' difficulties with rational numbers from a cognitive/developmental perspective, focusing on the role of prior knowledge in students' understanding of rational numbers. The present study tests the effect of the "whole" or "natural number bias" (i.e., the…

Simard, Catherine – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This article outlines the results from the research on primary and secondary school pupils' conceptualisation of microorganisms. It has been observed from the past few decades that one conceptual model is dominant, in which microorganisms are considered harmful, disease-causing and living in dirty environments. These misconceptions are only likely…
