Pierratos, Theodoros; Koumaras, Panagiotis – Primary Science, 2022
Although international school systems and resources can differ from those in the UK, it is always useful to have an informed worldview of practice in primary science. The COVID-19 pandemic has inevitably changed the ways in which pupils around the world have access to knowledge. Furthermore, it has changed the ways in which teachers globally…

Kousloglou, Manolis; Molohidis, Anastasios; Nikolopoulou, Kleopatra; Hatzikraniotis, Euripides – Teaching Science, 2022
The natural sciences, by their very nature, are based on the exploration of the physical world, and digital mobile devices are considered appropriate to support this exploration (Suárez et al., 2018) since they offer the tools that make this investigation more accessible but also ubiquitous (Crompton et al., 2017). Inquiry-based learning is a…

Kaliampos, George; Kotsis, Konstantinos T.; Kornelaki, Athina C. – European Educational Researcher, 2023
A number of diverse arguments have been proposed by researchers of science education regarding the reason science should be taught in schools. These arguments inevitably play a crucial role in the curriculum designed by policymakers. The present study turns its attention to the democratic argument. It explores its validity through a special…

Pierratos, Theodoros – Physics Education, 2021
Due to the conditions imposed worldwide by the pandemic, students' access to school laboratories is limited, if not impossible. To provide students with raw experimental data to assess, analyse and reason out, we have filmed experiments that can be used in a flipped classroom. This paper presents an experiment which makes use of an array of six…

Ioannis Vlachos; Georgios Stylos; Konstantinos T. Kotsis – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
The physics' subject aims to provide the student with a broad understanding of the physical phenomena that occur around them every day and introduce them to the scientific search. The use of experiments in the teaching of the subject contributes to the understanding of these phenomena, the development of skills and critical thinking and has many…

Testa, Italo; Psillos, Dimitris; Molohidis, Anastasios – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
This empirical study investigates the main features of curricula and contexts that favor or hinder the process of transfer of a teaching-learning sequence (TLS) from the designers' original situation to a host one. The specific research questions addressed were (RQ1) what were the changes made during the process of transfer in the new context?…

Schizas, Dimitrios; Psillos, Dimitris; Stamou, George – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
The present study investigates how Greek in-service secondary education biology teachers understand the unique features of school biology and physics when considering the biological theoretical edifice and method. Our theoretical framework focuses on important differences that exist between the neo-Darwinian and Newtonian worldviews, while our…

Pierratos, Theodoros; Polatoglou, Hariton M. – Physics Education, 2020
In this work, we propose an interesting combination of the Atwood machine and Galileo's inclined plane to study quantitatively kinematics with a smartphone and the phyphox app. For this purpose, we use the optical stopwatch function, based on the photosensor of the smartphone. The choice of phyphox app has some advantages for presenting the…

Apostolou, Charalampos – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2020
This paper examines the extent to which the level of technological equipment affects the integration of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Greek high school science teaching. The limited ICT infrastructure environment, with only one computer-projector system available and access to the internet ("PC-VP" environment),…

Papakonstantinou, Margarita; Skoumios, Michael – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
According to the Next Generation Science Standards, science instructional materials can be efficient as long as they integrate three dimensions: science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas. However, research investigating the integration of these three dimensions in the content of school science textbooks…
