Virtanen, Olli; Constantinidou, Emanuella; Tyystjärvi, Esa – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Plant leaves are green because they contain the green photosynthetic pigments, chlorophylls a and b. Popular science literature, and sometimes even textbooks, state that the greenness is caused by reflection of green light by chlorophyll. In the present study, we compared the reflectance spectra of green leaves to yellow or white leaves of the…

Vomund, Jeff; Miller, Angela D. – Theory Into Practice, 2022
Despite over 30 years of educational research to the contrary, some educators continue to hold to classroom management theories along the lines of "don't smile until December," which pits consistency and control in the classroom against the kindness and caring that should also characterize the learning environment. We address the source…

Osterhage, Jennifer L.; Rogers-Carpenter, Katherine – American Biology Teacher, 2022
As the dual crises of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and worsening climate change show, the public must be accurately informed about science. However, many barriers hinder effective messaging about science to the public, including little formal communication training for scientists and an abundance of misleading information from nonscientific…

Moru, Eunice Kolitsoe; Mathunya, Motlatsi – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2022
Algebra is an important branch of mathematics which applies to many fields related to mathematics. However, many studies show algebra as posing problems even to the most gifted students. This phenomenon, therefore, necessitates more studies to be conducted in this area. As such, the study explored the types of errors that Grade 8 learners…

Addido, Johannes; Burrows, Andrea C.; Slater, Timothy F. – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2022
Teaching science concepts for conceptual understanding has its challenges. Bringing about conceptual change in the science classroom can be difficult because most concepts are complicated and often counter-intuitive in the teaching and learning of science concepts. A review of the literature indicates that the conceptual change model, CCM can be…

Huete-Pérez, Daniel; Morales-Vives, Fabia; Gavilán, José M.; Boada, Roger; Haro, Juan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Studying epistemically unwarranted beliefs (EUB) is relevant at basic, applied, and social levels. However, EUB scales validated in Spain are scare. Consequently, we aimed to develop and validate a scale of this kind. One thousand four hundred and sixty participants answered to a preliminary version of the questionnaire. Exploratory and…

Hughes, Brenda; Sullivan, Karen A.; Gilmore, Linda – Prospects, 2022
Neuromyths are distorted ideas from neuroscience about the brain and learning. This critical review synthesized data from nine educational neuromyth studies that: (a) used a specific established measure, (b) were published in English, and (c) sampled qualified (in-service) teachers. The total sample comprised 5,259 teachers from 16 countries on…

Miguel Reina; Herve´ This; Antonio Reina – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A language is a system of communication, consisting of a set of sounds or written symbols that enable people to communicate. In chemistry, a particular language is required in order to represent the phenomenological world by means of symbols. Choosing the right words and knowing the precise definitions for chemical concepts is needed for avoiding…
