Direct linkAnne-Line Bjerknes; Terese Wilhelmsen; Emilie Foyn-Bruun – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2024
Disagreement exists about how to best spark young children's motivation to learn natural science. Both curiosity and wonder are considered important motivational factors for learning during early childhood (0-8 years). This systematic literature review explores research about scientific curiosity and wonder in early childhood education and care…

Majken Korsager; Kirsten Fiskum; Berit Reitan; Sibel Erduran – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Teaching and learning of nature of science (NOS) is an explicit goal in the core science curriculum in Norway. Yet there is little understanding of how the content of the current textbooks in certain educational pathways such as vocational training addresses NOS. Purpose: The aim of this study is to contribute to research on NOS in VET…

Kostøl, Kristine Bakkemo; Bøe, Maria Vetleseter; Skår, Aud Ragnhild – Science & Education, 2023
Developing students' understanding of the nature of science (NOS) is seen as critical for educating scientifically literate citizens, and has emerged as an important curricular goal internationally. In Norway, a new curriculum reform has recently been implemented, intended to improve the Norwegian education in several ways. The reform aims to…

Fooladi, Erik C.; Tuomisto, Maiju; Haapaniemi, Janni – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Food, cooking, and eating are commonly used as contexts or legitimations to teach and communicate science. However, for teaching to have contextual credibility, the relationship between subject and context is a relevant area of study. The present contribution describes an analysis of curricula from three Nordic countries shedding light on…

Integrating literacy in science and mathematics learning and teaching has been an ongoing endeavour. There are frameworks developed to guide teachers' practices, but little is reported on assessing literacy simultaneously with scientific or mathematical content knowledge. We reviewed the literature on assessing literacy in science and mathematics…

Wagner, C. Isabel; Bal, Thijs M. P.; Brinchmann, Monica F.; Noble, Leslie R.; Raeymaekers, Joost A. M.; Bjørnevik, Marit – Cogent Education, 2023
In comparison with traditional lectures, active learning methods have the potential to foster learner agency and consequently raise academic performance. However, these methods are often applied with little knowledge about their effectiveness. In this study, we introduced two concept maps in an undergraduate cell biology course, to investigate…

Andreas Haraldsrud; Tor Ole B. Odden – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Sensemaking is an important way of learning and engaging in science. Research has shown that sensemaking activities, such as questioning, hypothesizing, and model building, are pivotal in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills in science education. This paper investigates the role of computational simulations in facilitating…

The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Ronny Kjelsberg – Discover Education, 2024
The purpose of this study is to examine how physics students position themselves compared to other student groups on various attitudes and opinions relevant to the tradition of "scientific skepticism". Previous research has shown physics students identifying and having mindsets in line with the epistemic ideas from this philosophical…

Elevator Speech: Students' Discussions of Forces and Acceleration by Means of a Scale in an Elevator
Johansen, Astrid; Bungum, Berit – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Students' challenges in learning mechanics are well documented from test situations, and group discussions are considered a fruitful way to meet these challenges. In this paper, we present a study from an authentic teaching setting where upper secondary students in groups solve the task of calculating the acceleration of an elevator by means of a…

Andersson-Bakken, Emilia; Jegstad, Kirsti Marie; Bakken, Jonas – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
This study aims to investigate textbook tasks in the Norwegian school subject Natural sciences and the views of science that the tasks mediate to the pupils. Natural science is an interdisciplinary subject taught in Years 1-11 that includes chemistry, physics, biology and parts of the geosciences. We conducted a qualitative content analysis of…

Strat, Tonje Tomine Seland; Jegstad, Kirsti Marie – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Inquiry-based science education (IBSE) has been a key element in science education for the past decade and should therefore be a key element of pre-service teacher (PST) education as well. This study aims to explore how IBSE is implemented in teacher education for primary and lower secondary levels (years 1-10) to prepare PSTs for their…

Mahan, Karina Rose – Language Learning Journal, 2022
Teaching through a second language (L2) poses many challenges, as second language learners (SLLs) have fewer linguistic resources in the language of instruction. Scaffolding students' learning is a possible way of overcoming these challenges, but there are few studies on this in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) contexts. The present…
