Direct linkLöffler, Patrick; Pozas, Marcela; Kauertz, Alexander – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
In science education, context-based learning is mostly based on problem-oriented tasks [Gilbert, J. K. (2006). On the nature of "context" in chemical education. "International Journal of Science Education", 28(9), 957-976]. Therefore, a relevant question is, how do students integrate the information given in the task into their…

Chu, Hye-Eun; Treagust, David F.; Yeo, Shelley; Zadnik, Marjan – International Journal of Science Education, 2012
The aims of this study were to determine the underlying conceptual structure of the thermal concept evaluation (TCE) questionnaire, a pencil-and-paper instrument about everyday contexts of heat, temperature, and heat transfer, to investigate students' conceptual understanding of thermal concepts in everyday contexts across several school years and…

Clark, Douglas B. – Cognition and Instruction, 2006
This research analyzes students' conceptual change across a semester in an 8th-grade thermodynamics curriculum. Fifty students were interviewed 5 times during their 8th-grade semester and then again preceding their 10th- and 12th-grade years to follow their subsequent progress. The interview questions probed students' understanding of…
