Zhou, Ying; Li, Xiuting; Sing Chai, Ching; Tsai, Chin-Chung; Liang, Jyh-Chong – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Past studies have shown that students' conceptions of learning science (CLS) are related to their approaches to learning science (ALS) and to their self-efficacy for learning science (SELS), but it has not yet been studied whether parents' CLS play a role in children's ALS and SELS. This research investigated 472 pairs of Chinese high school…

In this article, we propose an analysis of the state of, and trends in, the field of conceptual change research in science education through the lens of its models. Using a quantitative approach, we reviewed all conceptual change articles (n = 245) published in five major journals in the field of science education in search of the support that…

Tan, Aik-Ling; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Tsai, Chin-Chung – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
This study used three previously validated instruments, namely Science Academic Hardiness (SAH), Students' Conceptions of Learning Science (COLS) and Science Learning Self-Efficacy (SLSE) on 431 Singaporean students. Using structural equation modeling, results showed that the SAH commitment dimension a positive predictor explaining both the…

Wu, Shu-Hao; Lai, Chiu-Lin; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Chemistry is a subject which involves a number of abstract concepts, making it a difficult and frustrating learning process for many students. Educators and researchers believe that technology could provide an opportunity to address this problem. However, it is challenging to find a model for appropriately and successfully integrating technology…

Matovu, Henry; Won, Mihye; Treagust, David Franklin; Mocerino, Mauro; Ungu, Dewi Ayu Kencana; Tsai, Chin-Chung; Tasker, Roy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Recent studies have reported a growing trend of using student-generated diagrams for assessment in science teaching and research. However, many educators tend to use diagrams to explore students' perceptions of scientists and their work rather than explore conceptual understanding of abstract concepts. In this study, we used diagrams to…

Matovu, Henry; Won, Mihye; Treagust, David Franklin; Ungu, Dewi Ayu Kencana; Mocerino, Mauro; Tsai, Chin-Chung; Tasker, Roy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
In recent years, chemistry educators are increasingly adopting immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology to help learners visualise molecular interactions. However, educational studies on IVR mostly investigated its usability and user perceptions leaving out its impact on improving conceptual understanding. If they evaluated students' knowledge…

Wang, Ya-Ling; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2019
Background: Despite the growing body of research on self-efficacy, previous studies have failed to clarify exactly how it is constructed. Meanwhile, the literature indicates that, in Taiwan, junior high school students tend to show lower self-efficacy in learning science compared with elementary and senior high school students. Purpose: This study…

Wu, Jiun-Yu; Tsai, Chin-Chung – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Forming learners' science concepts and conceptual change entails adaptive epistemic beliefs to support a high degree of interactivity within a coherent knowledge structure. Adaptive epistemic beliefs are characterized by beliefs that knowledge is uncertain and should be justified through experimentation or multiple sources dependent upon the task…

The study employed epistemic network analysis (ENA) to investigate students' conceptions of science learning with technology. One-hundred and eleven tenth-grade students were asked to express via drawings their conceptions of experienced and ideal learning of science with technology. Their drawings were coded into 20 elements in seven categories.…
