Garah, Lulu; Kapon, Shulamit – Science Education, 2024
We present a year-long case study that documents the interactions between a teacher-research-mentor (TRM) and two 11th grade students working in their school laboratory on an extended inquiry project that is part of reformed mandatory requirements for advanced-level matriculation in physics. Both the students (females) and the TRM (male) are Arab…

Levy, Smadar; Noga, Adi; Kapach, Zehorit; Yerushalmi, Edit – Physics Education, 2022
The instructional lab setting has been found to be dominated by prescribed tasks and pre-prepared lab kits. This was explained by teachers' need to guide students to simultaneously progress through a lab curriculum, which prompts them to standardize the lab experience. Nevertheless, prominent professional associations have persistently called to…

Perl-Nussbaum, David; Yerushalmi, Edit – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Inquiry practices can be integrated into various settings that differ in terms of their constraints and hence in the scope and depth of the practices that students experience. Key policy papers suggest implementing a gradual learning sequence for inquiry practices so that students' learning experiences in more constrained settings can serve them…

Stein, Hana; Galili, Igal – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2015
Several researches in physics education have demonstrated the problematic status of teaching the subject of gravitation and weight and students' knowledge of these concepts. This paper presents findings of a study of students' knowledge following instruction within a changed conceptual framework of the weight concept in several 9th grade classes…

Stein, Hana; Galili, Igal; Schur, Yaron – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
Empirical studies have reported difficulties, confusion, and lack of understanding among students at all levels of instruction regarding the issue of weight--gravitation--weighing relationships. This study examined the impact of a new conceptual framework of weight, on a small group of 7th-grade students (N?=?14) in a middle school in Israel. This…

Klieger, Aviva; Sherman, Guy – Physics Education, 2015
Creativity can be viewed from different perspectives, such as the creative thinking process, the product, the creative environment and the individual. The physics domain, which is based on experiments, research, hypotheses and thinking outside the box, can serve as an excellent grounding for creativity development. This article focuses on creative…

Goldstein, Olzan – Cogent Education, 2016
This paper describes the impact of the project-based learning (PBL) approach on learning and teaching physics from the perspective of pre-service elementary school teacher education students and an instructor. This approach promoted meaningful learning (mainly in the scope of projects), higher motivation, and active involvement of students in…

Tamir, P.; And Others – Science Education, 1974
Reports the results of an investigation in which the attitudes of Israeli high school students to physics were studied in an attempt to identify variables that may account for the low enrollment in this subject. (JR)

Hofstein, Avi; And Others – Science Education, 1977
Presents a comparison of attitudes toward physics and chemistry by 300 eleventh and twelfth grade students. Attitudes toward chemistry were more positive than towards physics; chemistry was considered less masculine, and physics was considered more important. (SL)

Stavy, Ruth; And Others – 1991
Research in science and mathematics education has indicated that students often use inappropriate models for solving problems because they tend to mentally represent a problem according to surface features instead of referring to scientific concepts and features. The objective of the study reported in this paper was to determine whether 34 Israeli…

Eckstein, Shulamith G.; Shemesh, Michal – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1993
A study (n=631) of children's ideas on motion of objects is reported. On three items of a four-part questionnaire, responses changed as the children matured, passing through distinct, successive stages with respect to their conceptual understanding. If teaching strategies to overcome misconceptions are to be effective, they must be appropriate to…

Ayalon, Hanna – American Journal of Education, 1995
Examines between-school variation in gender and ethnic inequality in course-taking of physics and biology. A multilevel analysis of 19,743 Israeli twelfth graders reveals the sciences are taken less often by underprivileged Jewish ethnic group students, physics is taken more often by males and biology by females, and gender typing is particularly…
