Fongsamut, Kanokkarn; Tanasittikosol, Monsit; Phaksunchai, Mingkhuan – Physics Education, 2023
This research studied the effectiveness of the simulation-based learning assisted with scaffolding approach to address students' misconceptions (MCs) about projectile motion. The five MCs were related to the direction of the force acting on an object (MC1), the acceleration of an object at the top of the trajectory (MC2), the directions of…

Edwards-Groves, Christine; Grootenboer, Peter; Petrie, Kirsten; Nicholas, Zeffie – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2023
In this paper, a site ontological approach to practice seeks to understand how educational development can be accomplished through the practices of 'middle leaders'--educators who exercise their leading 'between' the principal and the teaching staff. Analysis of two vignettes of leading in extraordinary circumstances untangles the web of…

Kathryn S. McCarthy; Danielle S. McNamara – Grantee Submission, 2023
When students learn, they activate, use, revise, and acquire knowledge. As such, knowledge is a fundamental asset. We advocate for an asset-based approach which capitalizes on students' knowledge through prompts and activities that invite learners to leverage what they already know. Considering knowledge as an asset means that educators must…

Tirosh, Dina; Tsamir, Pessia – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
In this article, we describe a case study that was conducted within a study aiming to diagnose grade 5 students' concept images of parallelograms. The theoretical framework that we adopted for this study was that of concept definition--concept image as reported by Tall and Vinner ("Educational Studies in Mathematics" 12:151-169, 1981), a…

Ralston, Nicole; Li, Min – Elementary School Journal, 2022
Research in the area of equivalence and the equal sign dates back decades, demonstrating students often possess misconceptions concerning the meaning of equivalence and the equal sign. Students often understand the equal sign to mean the answer comes next (i.e., an operational definition) instead of the same as (i.e., a relational definition).…

Helgetun, Jo B.; Menter, Ian – Journal of Education Policy, 2022
The Department for Education (DfE) in England seeks to determine the actions of educationists in both the public and private sectors through the use of targeted instructive documents and white papers where broader policy intention is presented. Since 2010, as we will show, there has been a shift in the nature of such papers towards justification…
