Manuel Bächtold; David Cross; Valérie Munier – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Data from PISA and TIMSS have recently fuelled the debate on the efficacy of Inquiry-Based Science Teaching (IBST). Some analyses of these data show that the effects of different scientific activities related to IBST carried out with students vary according to the frequency of their implementation. Extending this research, the present study…

Molvinger, Karine; Lautier, Gaëtan; Ayral, Rose-Marie – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This article focuses on the case study of the concept of covalent bonding for 10th grade pupils in France. On the basis of their conceptions and difficulties, didactical engineering has been established that should lead to an improvement in the understanding of this concept. After analyzing the pupils' difficulties, we reflected on the…

Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…

Otto, Siegmar; Körner, Franziska; Marschke, Beatrice A.; Merten, Martin J.; Brandt, Steffen; Sotiriou, Sofoklis; Bogner, Franz X. – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
For scholars and policy-makers alike, deeper learning has been a promising paradigm for fostering students' interest in and mastery of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Deeper learning is assumed to result in a more thorough understanding of a subject that endures the test of time. To reach this level, a fascination with…

Fischer, Jean-Paul; Luxembourger, Christophe – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Young children, who are exposed to Latin script letters, experience difficulties in distinguishing between the reversible letters b and d and may therefore transform b into d (and vice versa). When children begin to write, in cultures with left-to-right writing/reading systems, they also often turn Arabic digits in the direction of…

Hussein Sabra; Theresia Tabchi – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
This contribution explores the teaching of graph theory in the context of engineering education. We examine how teachers use collectively designed resources in terms of their backgrounds. After a literature review, we justify the choice to develop an analytical framework for studying the materials in terms of connections to be established in the…
