Lopez-Simo, Victor; Grimalt-Alvaro, Carme; Sanmarti, Neus – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
In this research, we have explored the possible differences in students' performance in grade nine chemistry exams that could have been influenced by a different instructional approach in grade eight. We compared two groups of students: one group had received a transmissive propaedeutic approach in grade eight (especially related to the memorising…

Tabiolo, James L.; Villar Rogayan, Danilo, Jr. – Journal of Science Learning, 2019
The Science education curriculum in the Philippines has shifted from inputs-based to outcomes-based education, putting the learners at the core of the instruction. Hence, educators continue to innovate ways on how to engage the learners into relevant and responsive science instruction. Further, the implementation of the K to 12 curricula brings a…

Mills, Reece; Tomas, Louisa; Lewthwaite, Brian – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2019
There is a need for research-informed instructional approaches that promote school students' deep conceptual understanding of abstract geological concepts. Given that a type of learner-constructed stop-motion animation, 'slowmation', has been shown to offer affordances for learning in science preservice teacher education, we extended its…

Tallberg, Christian; Axelsson, Maria – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2021
International large-scale assessments (ILSAs) have become an important part of the Swedish evaluation system. It is therefore of crucial importance to validate national measures of Swedish students' achievement with their ILSA test scores. Here, we offer results from such a validation study based on Swedish students' test scores in IEA's Trends in…

Pengelley, James; Whipp, Peter R.; Rovis-Hermann, Nina – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
The aim of the present study is to reconcile previous findings (a) that testing mode has no effect on test outcomes or cognitive load (Comput Hum Behav 77:1-10, 2017) and (b) that younger learners' working memory processes are more sensitive to computer-based test formats (J Psychoeduc Assess 37(3):382-394, 2019). We addressed key methodological…

Hild, Pitt; Gut, Christoph; Brückmann, Maja – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2019
Background: Several different measures have been proposed to solve persistent validity problems, such as high task-sampling variability, in the assessment of students' expertise in 'doing science'. Such measures include working with a-priori progression models, using standardised item shells and rating manuals, augmenting the number of tasks per…
