A large body of research literature has explored socio-scientific issues (SSIs) in science teaching and learning, documenting the impact of epistemic beliefs on epistemic emotion, which influences student's reactions to complex scientific topics. Often, students' reactions reflect scientific misconceptions, the correction of which may result in…

Anders Vassenden; Marte Mangset – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
In Goffman's terms, qualitative interviews are social encounters with their own realities. Hence, the 'situational critique' holds that interviews cannot produce knowledge about the world beyond these encounters, and that other methods, ethnography in particular, render lived life more accurately. The situational critique cannot be dismissed; yet…

Dewei Ye; Jiali Qian; Wangyi Xu; Yuyang Lu; Shuli Wang; Longhai Xiao; Lei Bao – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
The galvanic cell is a typical interdisciplinary topic, which is primarily taught in chemistry but its underpinning is closely related to physics. Student learning in galvanic cell has been extensively studied in chemistry education, which has revealed a large number of misconceptions that are difficult to change through traditional instruction. A…

Vitriol, Joseph A.; Sandor, Joseph; Vidigal, Robert; Farhart, Christina – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
People are motivated to maintain consistency between importantly held identities, preferences, and judgments. In political contexts, motivated reasoning can help explain a wide range of political phenomena, including extremism, polarization, and misperceptions. However, recent findings in psychology have challenged this account. These perspectives…

Karaman, Ayhan – Science & Education, 2023
The demarcation problem as one of the most prominent topics in the philosophy of science deserves a higher profile in science education literature as a part of the discussions about the instruction of the nature of science (NOS) concepts to generate a scientifically literate society. In this qualitative survey research study, the views of the…

Museus, Samuel D.; LePeau, Lucy A. – New Directions for Student Services, 2023
Higher education researchers and practitioners increasingly rely on high-impact practices in their efforts to promote success among diverse college students. In this chapter, we discuss the dangers of uncritically adopting one-size-fits-all notions of high-impact practices, and we underscore the need to meaningfully consider culture and identity…

Machová, Markéta; Ehler, Edvard – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Even though genetics has been implemented in biology curricula at secondary schools for decades, reports repeatedly indicate that students still hold various misconceptions about this topic. To successfully target these misconceptions, we need to know their nature and origin. We aimed to investigate these properties in the Czech educational system…

Jach, Hayley K.; Bardach, Lisa; Murayama, Kou – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
The field of personality psychology could contribute to the aims of educational research, but several misconceptions may hold back this synthesis. We address three "misconceptions" about personality psychology that are surprisingly pervasive outside of that field: that there are personality types, that personality is fixed, and that the…

Granström, Mikk; Härma, Eliis; Kikas, Eve – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2023
The aim of this study was to explore how pre- and in-service teachers (N = 346) evaluate different learning strategies for six scenarios, and how they justify their answers. Results showed that teachers mostly evaluate strategies found to be effective in previous empirical studies as more effective and they can provide proper scientific…

In this paper, based on an invited keynote given at the 2022 Colloquium of the Society for Educational Studies, I explore the question of the integrity of educational studies.

Du, Hanxiang; Xing, Wanli – Distance Education, 2023
Online discussion forums are highly valued by instructors due to their affordance for understanding class activities and learning. However, a discussion forum with a great number of posts requires a large amount of time to view, and help requests are easily overlooked. Various machine-learning--based tools have been developed to help instructors…

Woulfin, Sarah L.; Stevenson, Isobel; Lord, Kerry – Teachers College Press, 2023
Districts and schools often count on coaching to promote student learning and organizational change. Across the United States, a wide variety of coaches engage in various types of work with teachers as well as school leaders. But coaching is often loosely defined, weakly supported, and ultimately underutilized, and as a consequence, its promise…
