Background: In science education asynchronous online interactions have increased dramatically during the recent pandemic and some of these practices will stay. One of the characteristics in asynchronous exchanges is the spacing and sequencing of online interaction. It means that dialogue partners do not necessarily receive immediate feedback as is…

The greenhouse effect is a complex scientific phenomenon that plays a crucial role in understanding climate change. Grasping students' understanding of this phenomenon on the content-specific level but also how students' conceptions are organized is vital for effective climate change education. This study addresses both levels and delves into the…

Microplastics have been detected in most ecosystems around the world. They affect the environment and organisms in it, including humans and possibly their health. Hence, the analysis of microplastic occurrence in the environment is highly relevant. However, there are only a few practical and easy-to-implement methods published for school use, and…

Abels, Simone; Koliander, Brigitte; Plotz, Thomas – Education Sciences, 2020
Almost every country in the world is obligated to implement education policies to enable an inclusive school system. However, implementing techniques to be inclusive in schools is a major challenge to teachers, especially to those teaching a subject at secondary level and higher. Most of the literature concerning inclusive science education was…

Salchegger, Silvia; Wallner-Paschon, Christina; Bertsch, Christian – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2021
Background: Evidence so far shows that Waldorf students are characterized by average science achievement but at the same time high socioeconomic status and high science motivation. Moreover, Waldorf education is characterized by high emphasis on inquiry-based science education (IBSE). The present study investigates if the specific…

The term 'Plant Blindness' describes people tending to overlook plants, even though they have an enormous importance for life on earth, especially because of their ability to photosynthesise. Many attempts have been made to counteract plant blindness in biology education. However, so far there is no comprehensive tool to assess the degree of plant…

Citizen Science in Schools: Predictors and Outcomes of Participating in Voluntary Political Research
Heiss, Raffael; Schmuck, Desirée; Matthes, Jörg; Eicher, Carolin – SAGE Open, 2021
Citizen science research has been rapidly expanding in the past years and has become a popular approach in youth education. We investigated key drivers of youth participation in a citizen social science school project and the effects of participation on scientific and topic-related (i.e., political) interest and efficacy. Findings suggest that…

Hands-on courses utilizing preserved human tissues for educational training offer an important pathway to acquire basic anatomical knowledge. Owing to the reevaluation of formaldehyde limits by the European Commission, a joint approach was chosen by the German-speaking anatomies in Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) to find commonalities among…

Klein, P.; Ivanjek, L.; Dahlkemper, M. N.; Jelicic, K.; Geyer, M.-A.; Küchemann, S.; Susac, A. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the education system worldwide, which was forced to respond with a sudden shift to distance learning. While successful distance teaching requires careful thinking, planning, and the development of technological and human resources, there was no time for preparation in the current situation. Various…

Ines Deibl; Ines Zeitlhofer; Anna Geroldinger; Jörg Zumbach – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2024
Recent research has shown a growing interest in myths about teaching and learning and their prevalence among different populations. However, little is known about the extent to which these myths are prevalent among high school students. Future research must focus on methods that best support dispelling these myths to promote high school students…

Ivanjek, Lana; Morris, Louisa; Schubatzky, Thomas; Hopf, Martin; Burde, Jan-Philipp; Haagen-Schützenhöfer, Claudia; Dopatka, Liza; Spatz, Verena; Wilhelm, Thomas – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
This article reports the development of a two-tier simple electric circuits test (2T-SEC Test). Simple electric circuits are introduced to students early in their school years and are an important part of the physics curriculum all the way to the university level. However, many students do not develop an adequate conceptual understanding of simple…

Florian Budimaier; Martin Hopf – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
When learning about the particulate nature of matter (PNM), students tend to attribute the same properties to both particles and to the substances they compose. It has been argued that this might be explained by them categorizing the wrong ontological category. To explain the relationships between submicroscopic and macroscopic levels of matter,…
