Pei-Shan Tsai – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Several studies have explored the effects of cognitive tools, such as scaffolding, on the quality of argumentation in online argumentation activities. However, although information searching is the most popular online activity, few studies have investigated the roles of online information resources in the quality of argumentation. This study…

Evaluating and Comparing Singaporean and Taiwanese Eighth Graders' Conceptions of Science Assessment
Lin, Tzung-Jin; Tan, Aik-Ling; Lee, Min-Hsien; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2017
Background: Researchers have indicated that assessment practices and methods should support learners' construction of meaningful understanding of knowledge. Understanding students' conceptions of assessment will enable us to construct more realistic, valid and fair assessments. Learners' conceptualization of assessment would be imperative to serve…

Yang, Der-Ching; Lin, Yung-Chi – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between Finnish and Taiwanese textbooks for grades 7 to 9 on the topic of solving systems of linear equations (simultaneous equations). The specific textbooks examined were TK in Taiwan and FL in Finland. The content analysis method was used to examine (a) the teaching sequence, (b)…

Hsu, Hui-Yu; Silver, Edward A. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2014
We examined geometric calculation with number tasks used within a unit of geometry instruction in a Taiwanese classroom, identifying the source of each task used in classroom instruction and analyzing the cognitive complexity of each task with respect to 2 distinct features: diagram complexity and problem-solving complexity. We found that…

Chen, Chang-Hua; Crockett, Michele D.; Namikawa, Takayuki; Zilimu, Johndamaseni; Lee, Sun Hee – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2012
In this qualitative case study, the researchers explored 3 8th grade teachers' formative assessment practices as it occurred during their mathematics instruction at socioeconomic status (SES)-different schools in Taiwan. Instructionally embedded formative assessment we refer to as discourse-based assessment practice (DAP). In Taiwan, there is a…

Kuo, Che-Yu; Wu, Hsin-Kai; Jen, Tsung-Hau; Hsu, Ying-Shao – International Journal of Science Education, 2015
The potential of computer-based assessments for capturing complex learning outcomes has been discussed; however, relatively little is understood about how to leverage such potential for summative and accountability purposes. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a multimedia-based assessment of scientific inquiry abilities (MASIA) to…

Liang, Jia-Chi; Chou, Chin-Cheng; Chiu, Mei-Hung – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2011
The nature and behavior of gas particles are essential concepts in teaching and learning of school chemistry. However, findings about students' understanding of gas particles--their composition, structure, and interactions involving movement and distribution--revealed that the difficulties students encounter in understanding gas particles vary…
