Teachers are increasingly expected to incorporate Project-based learning (PBL) pedagogy to teach science. While teachers' definitions and challenges in the use of PBL are widely studied, very few studies focus on the development of a teacher's knowledge of the use of PBL over multiple projects. The current research is an in-depth case study aimed…

Simon Zacharias Lahme; Pascal Klein; Antti Lehtinen; Andreas Müller; Pekka Pirinen; Lucija Roncevic; Ana Sušac – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Physics lab courses permanently undergo transformations, in recent times especially to adapt to the emergence of new digital technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic in which digital technologies facilitated distance learning. Since these transformations often occur within individual institutions, it is useful to get an overview of these…

Thuneberg, Helena; Salmi, Hannu; Vainikainen, Mari-Pauliina; Hienonen, Ninja; Hautamäki, Jarkko – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2022
This study responds to the demands of the rapidly changing landscape of education, the 21st century competencies and development of curriculum. Those competences are being interpreted all over the world resulting to differing curricular changes. In the Finnish National Core Curriculum 2016 they are presented as seven transversal competences that…

Fooladi, Erik C.; Tuomisto, Maiju; Haapaniemi, Janni – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Food, cooking, and eating are commonly used as contexts or legitimations to teach and communicate science. However, for teaching to have contextual credibility, the relationship between subject and context is a relevant area of study. The present contribution describes an analysis of curricula from three Nordic countries shedding light on…

Lehesvuori, Sami; Ametller, Jaume – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Despite rapid changes in education, science classrooms will remain central forums where fragmented pieces of information are brought together to construct coherent knowledge as concepts and explanatory scientific storylines. There is limited work stressing the importance of the interplay between how content is communicated through pedagogical…

Achmad Rante Suparman; Eli Rohaeti; Sri Wening – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2024
This research is a systematic literature review study that aims to explore the evidence in publications that report on the types of misconceptions experienced by students in learning chemistry by providing types of students' chemical misconceptions based on levels and obtaining the correct formulation of misconceptions so that they can be used as…

Lotta Jons; John Airey – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
This study reports findings from an interview study with eleven teacher educators from a physics teacher training program in Finland. They represented the four training environments that students encounter during their education, i.e. the Department of Physics, the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, the Department of General…

Palmgren, Elina; Tuominen, Kimmo; Kontro, Inkeri – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Physics instruction is often unable to support students' self-efficacy. The remote teaching brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has also affected learning. We surveyed an introductory quantum mechanics course for three years during a transition into the spin first approach, adapting the student-centered "prime-time learning" model and…

Nousiainen, Maija; Hyytinen, Heidi; Palmgren, Elina; Toom, Auli – Education Sciences, 2019
Supporting teacher candidates' learning of coherent and well-ordered content knowledge is one of the most important educational aims in subject teacher education. To reach this aim, teacher educators need suitable tools to enhance the formation of such knowledge. In this article, we present an analytical framework to examine conceptual knowledge,…

Pellikka, Anne; Lutovac, Sonja; Kaasila, Raimo – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2022
This study examines pre-service primary school teachers' (PSTs') possible selves in relation to science teaching and the ways in which these possible selves change over time. This longitudinal study adds to the body of knowledge by examining PSTs' possible selves at various time points throughout their teacher preparation: three PSTs, selected…

This research clarifies how a collaborative team teaching model (CTTM) can support both pre-service and in-service teachers' professional development in using inquiry-based science teaching in primary schools. The data were collected via a questionnaire-based survey approach after inquiry projects implementation at public schools in four Finnish…

Ilgaz, Gökhan; Eskici, Menekse; Vural, Levent – Asian Journal of Education and Training, 2019
The aim of this study is to determine how effectively different countries use educational inputs in the process of science education. The study is in the descriptive model and the data is derived from the PISA 2015 data set, which provides information to countries on secondary education programs. Data from 70 countries, including Turkey, were used…

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…

Yli-Panula, Eija; Laakkonen, Eero; Vauras, Marja – Education Sciences, 2021
This study belongs to assessment-related research and aimed to investigate Finnish high-school students' (n = 211) topic-specific epistemic beliefs about climate change and whether the Norwegian topic-specific epistemic beliefs questionnaire (TSEBQ) was also valid among Finnish respondents. Thus, research data were not only derived from the TSEBQ…
