Fiedler, Kristin; Kubsch, Marcus; Neumann, Knut; Nordine, Jeffrey – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Science education research has repeatedly revealed students' problems with understanding the energy concept, in particular, their understanding of potential energy. Newer research suggests that teaching students fields as a means to store potential energy may promote a more consistent understanding of the energy concept. Yet, it is presently…

Kubsch, Marcus; Fortus, David; Neumann, Knut; Nordine, Jeffrey; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Students' motivation plays an important role in successful science learning. However, motivation is a complex construct. Theories of motivation suggests that students' motivation must be conceptualized as a motivational system with numerous components that interact in complex ways and influence metacognitive processes such as self-evaluation. This…

Kubsch, Marcus; Nordine, Jeffrey; Fortus, David; Krajcik, Joseph; Neumann, Knut – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2020
In the sciences, energy is an important idea to get insight into phenomena, as energy can help to reveal hidden systems and processes. However, students commonly struggle to use energy ideas to interpret and explain phenomena. To support students in using energy ideas to interpret and explain phenomena, a range of different graphical…

Neumann, Irene; Sorge, Stefan; Hoth, Jessica; Lindmeier, Anke; Neumann, Knut; Heinze, Aiso – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
This study explores benefits of studying two related subjects, mathematics and physics, in teacher education. German teacher students study two subjects as a major, which allows for investigating how the development of content knowledge in one subject, mathematics, benefits students' content knowledge in the other subject, physics. The sample…

Schiering, Dustin; Sorge, Stefan; Neumann, Knut – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
This study examined the influence of higher education teacher training on student physics teachers' progression in content knowledge (CK). To become experts, student teachers must acquire both declarative and procedural -- conditional CK. This progression is generally characterized by the prerequisite role of declarative knowledge, meaning that…

Neumann, Knut; Kind, Vanessa; Harms, Ute – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
This Special Issue aims to present evidence about the relationships between content knowledge (CK), pedagogical knowledge (PK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK); the development of these types of knowledge in novice and experienced secondary science teachers; and how CK, PK and/or PCK impact students' learning. Since Shulman's introduction…

Schiering, Dustin; Sorge, Stefan; Keller, Melanie M.; Neumann, Knut – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
This study identifies proficiency levels in pre-service physics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and reveals how teacher education can promote transitions into higher proficiency. Teacher education plays a fundamental role in supporting pre-service teachers' PCK development. Proficiency levels are a powerful source when evaluating…

Fortus, David; Kubsch, Marcus; Bielik, Tom; Krajcik, Joseph; Lehavi, Yaron; Neumann, Knut; Nordine, Jeffrey; Opitz, Sebastian; Touitou, Israel – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Energy is a central concept in science in every discipline and also an essential player in many of the issues facing people everywhere on the globe. However, studies have shown that by the end of K-12 schooling, most students do not reach the level of understanding required to be able to use energy to make sense of a wide range of phenomena. Many…

Kubsch, Marcus; Nordine, Jeffrey; Neumann, Knut; Fortus, David; Krajcik, Joseph – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
Modern science standards emphasize knowledge-in-use, i.e., connecting scientific practices with content. For knowledge to become usable in knowledge-in-use performances, students need well organized knowledge networks that allow them to activate and connect sets of relevant ideas across contexts, i.e. students need integrated knowledge. We…

Ladewig, Antonia; Köller, Olaf; Neumann, Knut – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
The German Physics Olympiad is an extracurricular science contest for students. Here, they have the opportunity to compete against other talented students, can do physics outside of school, and take a first step to more engagement in the domain. Yet, female students participate in the competition in fewer numbers and are disproportionally more…

Fortus, David; Lin, Jing; Neumann, Knut; Sadler, Troy D. – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The goal of science literacy for all underlies much of today's K-12 science education (National Academies of Sciences [2016]. "Science literacy: Concepts, contexts, and consequences." National Academies Press; Roberts, [2007]. Scientific literacy/science literacy. In S. K. Abell, & N. G. Lederman (Eds.), "Handbook of research on…

Hadenfeldt, Jan Christoph; Neumann, Knut; Bernholt, Sascha; Liu, Xiufeng; Parchmann, Ilka – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
This study presents our attempt to elicit students' progression in understanding the matter concept. Past work has identified the big ideas about matter students need to understand, the many everyday understandings students hold about these ideas, and levels of understanding through which students progress in developing understanding of the big…

Forbes, Cory T.; Neumann, Knut; Schiepe-Tiska, Anja – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Scientific literacy is a central aim of science education. The "Programme for International Student Assessment" (PISA) provides a measure of secondary students' scientific literacy and reported science instruction in 72 countries. Researchers have analyzed PISA data to identify important relationships between science instruction and…

Even graduate physics students have many misconceptions about basic wave optics phenomena. This suggests that there is much room for improvement of the traditional wave optics curriculum. An effective way for initiating a curriculum change is to reconsider and revise the expected learning outcomes and corresponding assessment instruments. By…

Background: Formative assessments are needed to enable monitoring how student knowledge develops throughout a unit. Constructed response items which require learners to formulate their own free-text responses are well suited for testing their active knowledge. However, assessing such constructed responses in an automated fashion is a complex task…
