McCartney, Robert; Boustedt, Jonas; Eckerdal, Anna; Mostrom, Jan Erik; Sanders, Kate; Thomas, Lynda; Zander, Carol – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
"Threshold concepts" are concepts that, among other things, transform the way a student looks at a discipline. Although the term "threshold" might suggest that the transformation occurs at a specific point in time, an "aha" moment, it seems more common (at least in computing) that a longer time period is required.…

Ehrlen, Karin – International Journal of Science Education, 2008
Visual representations play an important role in science teaching. The way in which visual representations may help children to acquire scientific concepts is a crucial test in the debate between constructivist and socio-cultural oriented researchers. In this paper, the question is addressed as a problem of how to contextualize conceptions and…

Begley, Paul T.; Johansson, Olof – Journal of School Leadership, 2008
This article reports the findings of two studies focused on the personal and professional values of school administrators. Two themes were employed as general organizers for the research: the influence of personal preference and trans-rational principles on the problem solving actions of school administrators and the value conflicts that…

This is the second paper in a series of three, the objective of which is to describe the fundamental discontinuities of human existence. Self-reference is explored in the first section of this paper, arguing that neither time-space nor developmental dimensions are adequate to explain the problem of self-reference. It is argued that self-reference…

Winberg, T. Mikael; Berg, C. Anders R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2007
To enhance the learning outcomes achieved by students, learners undertook a computer-simulated activity based on an acid-base titration prior to a university-level chemistry laboratory activity. Students were categorized with respect to their attitudes toward learning. During the laboratory exercise, questions that students asked their assistant…
