Direct linkKaur, Tejinder; Blair, David; Moschilla, John; Stannard, Warren; Zadnik, Marjan – Physics Education, 2017
This paper reviews research results obtained from Einsteinian physics programs run by different instructors with Years 6, 9, 10 and 11 students using the models and analogies described in parts 1 and 2. The research aimed to determine whether it is possible to teach Einsteinian physics and to measure the changes in student attitudes to physics…

Ngu, Bing Hiong; Phan, Huy P. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Assimilating multiple interactive elements simultaneously in working memory to allow understanding to occur, while solving an equation, would impose a high cognitive load. "Element interactivity" arises from the interaction between elements within and across operational and relational lines. Moreover, operating with special features…

Ngu, Bing Hiong; Yeung, Alexander Seeshing; Tobias, Stephen – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2014
Eighth grade students in Australia (N = 60) participated in an experiment on learning how to solve percentage change problems in a regular classroom in three conditions: unitary, pictorial, and equation approaches. The procedure involved a pre-test, an acquisition phase, and a post-test. The main goal was to test the relative merits of the three…

Jacobson, Michael J.; Taylor, Charlotte E.; Richards, Deborah – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
In this paper, we propose computational scientific inquiry (CSI) as an innovative model for learning important scientific knowledge and new practices for "doing" science. This approach involves the use of a "game-like" virtual world for students to experience virtual biological fieldwork in conjunction with using an agent-based…
