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…

Tsybulsky, Dina; Oz, Atar – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2019
The current research is based on the phenomenological-qualitative paradigm. The goal was to examine the significant experiences, attitudes, and pedagogical practices of 17 Israeli student teachers in the science-teaching track regarding the use of project-based learning (PBL) as a pedagogical method, which they implemented in elementary schools…

In light of extensive research demonstrating widespread misconceptions about electricity, this paper describes a learning study that targeted the most likely source of difficulty--failure of middle school pupils to develop a mental model that serves as a bridge between static and current electricity. During the intervention, pupils first envision…

Aflalo, Ester; Zana, Lizet; Huri, Tehila – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
The findings of the research literature about the necessity and contribution of Interactive Whiteboards (IWB) are not unequivocal and are sometimes contradictory. The study aimed to examine the interactive attributes in lessons with an IWB and the students' attitudes. Methodical structured observations of 26 science lessons were conducted in…

Swirski, Hani; Baram-Tsabari, Ayelet – Interdisciplinary Journal of E-Learning and Learning Objects, 2014
While interest is central to learning, considerable disparities have been reported between students' science interests and the science curriculum. This study explores how 5th grade students' (n = 72) competence, relatedness and interest levels changed as a consequence of using two online learning environments, which bridged the students' anonymous…

Agranovich, Shoshana; Assaraf, Orit Ben-Zvi – Journal of Education and Learning, 2013
This study examines attitudes to school science classes amongst primary school children, based on the assumption that these will influence their attitudes and choices later in life. 1298 primary school students in grades 4-6 were given a Likert-type questionnaire and asked to provide verbal explanations for their agreement/disagreement with each…

Peer reviewedLazarowitz, Reuven – Journal of Biological Education, 1982
A science lesson (observing yeast) was taught demonstrating that when a guided inquiry instructional method is encountered there is a change from subjective to objective thinking. Describes steps in the lesson and analysis of pupils' responses and behavior. Suggests an instructional model to increase perceptive level of thinking in biology…

Peer reviewedBlum, Abraham – Journal of Biological Education, 1982
Rationale for and example of a strategy to overcome reading difficulties are described. Before reading a bio-technical text, students read a story (sample included) in which the same biological and technical terms are used, but in a more familiar context and style. (Author/JN)

Peer reviewedShadmi, Yehuda – Physics Education, 1981
Describes and evaluates one assignment from a unit designed to teach basic science concepts and instructional strategies to primary school teachers, specifically, the control of variables. (SK)

Peer reviewedStavy, Ruth – International Journal of Science Education, 1988
Investigates Israeli students' (grades four through nine) knowledge regarding the concept of a "gas" prior to and following instruction. Reports that students do not spontaneously develop a general idea of gas prior to instruction, and only after instruction do they first acquire this knowledge. Suggests three implications for…

Peer reviewedStavy, Ruth – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1991
This study (n=192) examined the use of analogical instruction to overcome misconceptions about conservation of matter. Students who understood the concept conservation of matter when iodine was evaporated were able to transfer their understanding to the evaporation of acetone. This indicates that teaching by analogy can be an effective tool in…

Peer reviewedBar, Varda – Physics Education, 1989
Investigates whether elementary children can compare forces by comparing numbers of weights used in spring and balance problems. Reports that children did not identify weight and force, but they were able to use the ratio between the numbers of weights to compare forces. Suggests some instructional methods based on the findings. (YP)

Stachel, Dina; Stavy, Ruth – 1986
This document reports on a study of 48 kindergarten children in Israel regarding their concepts of "solid" and "liquid." Children were asked to classify a set of 30 materials into two groups (a group of 9 liquids and a group of 21 solids). About 65% could classify liquids correctly, 50% could classify rigid materials correctly,…

Peer reviewedBransky, Judith; And Others – Research in Science and Technological Education, 1992
Compares the reasoning capabilities of preservice elementary school teachers before and after their involvement in a remedial science program that incorporated instruction in basic conceptual knowledge with reasoning strategies about manipulation of variables and logical inference. Discussion of results emphasizes recurring logical fallacies. (22…
