Background: Teaching and learning of nature of science (NOS) is an explicit goal in the core science curriculum in Norway. Yet there is little understanding of how the content of the current textbooks in certain educational pathways such as vocational training addresses NOS. Purpose: The aim of this study is to contribute to research on NOS in VET…

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…

Jackylou Sarsale; Dennis Alonzo; Aiza Caseñas; Cherry Zin Oo; Francis Ann Sy; Prose Ivy Yepes – Issues in Educational Research, 2024
Integrating literacy in science and mathematics learning and teaching has been an ongoing endeavour. There are frameworks developed to guide teachers' practices, but little is reported on assessing literacy simultaneously with scientific or mathematical content knowledge. We reviewed the literature on assessing literacy in science and mathematics…

Wagner, C. Isabel; Bal, Thijs M. P.; Brinchmann, Monica F.; Noble, Leslie R.; Raeymaekers, Joost A. M.; Bjørnevik, Marit – Cogent Education, 2023
In comparison with traditional lectures, active learning methods have the potential to foster learner agency and consequently raise academic performance. However, these methods are often applied with little knowledge about their effectiveness. In this study, we introduced two concept maps in an undergraduate cell biology course, to investigate…

The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Elevator Speech: Students' Discussions of Forces and Acceleration by Means of a Scale in an Elevator
Download full textJohansen, Astrid; Bungum, Berit – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Students' challenges in learning mechanics are well documented from test situations, and group discussions are considered a fruitful way to meet these challenges. In this paper, we present a study from an authentic teaching setting where upper secondary students in groups solve the task of calculating the acceleration of an elevator by means of a…

Strat, Tonje Tomine Seland; Jegstad, Kirsti Marie – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Inquiry-based science education (IBSE) has been a key element in science education for the past decade and should therefore be a key element of pre-service teacher (PST) education as well. This study aims to explore how IBSE is implemented in teacher education for primary and lower secondary levels (years 1-10) to prepare PSTs for their…

Huseby, Anders; Bungum, Berit – Physics Education, 2019
Quantum physics is challenging for young students, but also a source of fascination. "Observation" is a key concept in order to understand how principles and experimental results in quantum physics differ from what we are used to in classical physics and everyday experiences. In this study we investigate how pre-university physics…

Kersting, Magdalena – Physics Education, 2019
The first direct observation of gravitational waves in 2015 has led to an increased public interest in topics of general relativity (GR) and astronomy. Physics teachers and educators respond to this interest by introducing modern ideas of gravity and spacetime to high school students. Doing so, they face the challenge of finding suitable models…

Nyléhn, Jorun; Ødegaard, Marianne – Science & Education, 2018
The nature of science (NOS) is a primary goal in school science. Most teachers are not well-prepared for teaching NOS, but a sophisticated and in-depth understanding of NOS is necessary for effective teaching. Some authors emphasize the need for teaching NOS in context. Species, a central concept in biology, is proposed in this article as a…

Nisanka Uthpalani Somaratne Rajapakse Mohottige; Annette Hessen Bjerke; Renate Andersen – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2024
Owing to its recognition as a 21st-century skill, computational thinking (CT) is currently being introduced into school curricula around the world. However, in-service teachers are largely unprepared for this implementation, which, in turn, makes teacher educators (TEds) important stakeholders in preparing prospective teachers to integrate CT into…

Mork, Sonja M.; Haug, Berit S.; Sørborg, Øystein; Parameswaran Ruben, Subashini; Erduran, Sibel – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
If students are to acquire deep learning in science, they need to know about the nature of science (NOS), particularly not only the cognitive-epistemic but also the social-institutional aspects of NOS. In this paper, we investigate the content of the Norwegian science curriculum in order to establish how NOS is represented, in particular to the…

Remmen, Kari Beate; Frøyland, Merethe – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Students struggle with observing scientifically and connecting observations to scientific theory. This study investigates how students actually use observation in rock classification -- a classical practical task in science education. To describe the level of students' use of observation, data was collected by videotaping 19 small student groups…

Knutsen, Bård; Svendsen, Bodil – Education, 2020
This study is conducted in Norway, this study investigated data from a case study with two science teachers. The Norwegian school system is built upon the principle of equality for all students. The idea is that comprehensive school is best suited to provide equal opportunities in school and society. The only criteria for group affiliation are…

Sæleset, Johannes; Friedrichsen, Patricia – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
In the current study, we address calls for research on the complex nature of integrations of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components. This is a multiple case study of six middle school pre-service teachers (PSTs) as they taught science in their school practicum. We investigated the nature of PSTs' integration between knowledge of students'…
