Coletta, Vincent P. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Recently Burkholder "et al." argued that class normalized gains over the entire population of courses is approximated by a Cauchy distribution, not by a normal distribution, and therefore should not be used to compare different classes because means and standard deviations cannot be calculated. They argued that multiple linear regression…

Aftenieva, Olha; Schletz, Daniel; Meyer, Antonia; Ku¨hne, Tino; Schmalzriedt, Sierk; Niethammer, Manuela; Ko¨nig, Tobias A. F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In contrast to a macroscopic solid, the color and spectroscopic properties of gold nanoparticles change with size. Here, we propose a teaching platform for high school students (hereafter defined as students, attending secondary school in Europe, preparatory high schools in the US, or any educational institution of a comparable level) that…

Aldossari, Ali Tared – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
This study investigates the inclusion of health education concepts in biology textbooks in the United States of America and Singapore. It employs a content analysis methodology to examine biology textbooks, considering the theme as a unit and dividing health concepts into four main fields. The findings for both countries indicate that the field of…

Chiu, Mei-Hung; Mamlok-Naman, Rachel; Apotheker, Jan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Chemistry plays an important role in developing scientific theories to describe, explain, and predict the physical world and to produce useful products for improving quality of life throughout history. To arouse student awareness of the value and importance of learning chemistry and becoming chemistry literate, we propose an application of systems…

Arif Rachmatullah; Jessica Vandenberg; Sein Shin; Eric Wiebe – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2023
The current study compared American, Korean, and Indonesian middle and high school students' CS attitudes. Concurrently, this study also examined whether the items in the CS attitudes scale exhibit country and gender measurement biases. We gathered data on CS attitudes from middle and high school students in the US, Korea, and Indonesia. The…

Winarno, Nanang; Rusdiana, Dadi; Riandi, Riandi; Susilowati, Eko; Afifah, Ratih Mega Ayu – Online Submission, 2020
The current trend in science learning leans more towards interdisciplinary (integrated) learning. Before 1989, several studies reviewed articles related to integrated science. However, research discussing articles on integrated science from 1996 until the present day is not yet available. The purpose of this study was to review 36 empirical…

Ulku Seher Budak; Gaye Defne Ceyhan – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The systems thinking approach requires understanding and interpreting complex systems. This review investigated how the systems thinking approach in science education is positioned in peer-reviewed empirical research articles and to identify the trends used in the current literature. A systematic review of open-access, empirical peer-reviewed…

Ali Kozan Soykal; Peter Rillero; Alpay Bicer – European Journal of Physics Education, 2021
Science is a collaborative process and electronic means of communication enhance collaborative possibilities. It is an important ability to be able to effectively work with people from different cultures. Our program uses physics activities to bring secondary school girls from different cultures together. Students from a school in the United…

Livni-Alcasid, Gur A.; Haskel-Ittah, Michal; Yarden, Anat – Education Sciences, 2018
In genetics education, symbols are used for alleles to visualize them and to explain probabilities of progeny and inheritance paradigms. In this study, we identified symbol systems used in genetics textbooks and the justifications provided for changes in the symbol systems. Moreover, we wanted to understand how students justify the use of…

Xu, Wangyi; Liu, Qiaoyi; Koenig, Kathleen; Fritchman, Joseph; Han, Jing; Pan, Sudong; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Momentum is a foundational concept in physics. Although it is often taught in introductory mechanics courses, there are a limited number of studies on this topic in the literature. The results from these studies have consistently shown that students have difficulties in understanding momentum, especially the connections between net force, time,…

Kensicki, Anna Evelyn; Harlow, John; Akhilandeswari, Janani; Peacock, Sean; Cohen, Jedd; Weissman, Ross; Gordon, Eric – Journal of Political Science Education, 2022
The study of educational simulations at the secondary level has typically centered on programs that are competitive, shorter in duration, and characterized by their low fidelity, or a lack of realism. The resources required to hold longer, more immersive, and nuanced programs are often prohibitive for teachers of political science programs. As…
