Milner-Bolotin, Marina; Antimirova, Tetyana; Noack, Andrea; Petrov, Anna – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2011
This paper examines the results of the repeated administration of the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (CLASS) in a large introductory physics course at a midsize, metropolitan Canadian university. We compare the results to those obtained previously in comparable courses at the University of British Columbia (Canada) and the…

Nieswandt, Martina; Bellomo, Katherine – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
This qualitative study analyzed grade 12 biology students' answers to written extended-response questions that describe hypothetical scenarios of animals' evolution. We investigated whether these type of questions are suitable for students (n = 24) to express a meaningful understanding of evolutionary theory. Meaningful understanding is comprised…

Anamuah-Mensah, Jophus; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Reported the development and validation of an integrated model of performance on chemical concept-volumetric analysis. Model was tested on 265 chemistry students in eight schools.Results indicated that for subjects using algorithms without understanding, performance on volumetric analysis problems was not influenced by proportional reasoning…
