Direct linkAriës, Roel Jacobus; Groot, Wim; van den Brink, Henriette Maassen – British Educational Research Journal, 2015
Secondary school pupils underachieve in tests in which reasoning abilities are required. Brain-based training of working memory (WM) may improve reasoning abilities. In this study, we use a brain-based training programme based on historical content to enhance reasoning abilities in history courses. In the first experiment, a combined intervention…

Arzarello, Ferdinando; Ferrara, Francesca; Robutti, Ornella – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2012
In this research we present the use of some technologies in problem solving activities (at different secondary school grades), aimed at finding a model for a geometric configuration, and representing this model in various ways: through a construction, through a Cartesian graph, etc. The task is part of a teaching experiment, in which students used…

Peer reviewedKirschner, Paul A. – Science and Education, 1992
Discusses the inherent flaws in considering and using the epistemology of the natural sciences as equivalent to a pedagogic basis for teaching and learning in the natural sciences. Discusses the difference between practicing science and learning to practice science. Concludes with the presentation of three new motives for the use of laboratory…

Peer reviewedGermann, Paul J.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1996
Uses the Science Process Skills Inventory (SPSI) to analyze student efforts at writing experimental designs. Results indicate that explicit, incremental development of the science process skills of formulating hypotheses and identifying variables, together with model examples, may be a means to facilitate student success in designing science…

Peer reviewedVan Heuvelen, Alan; Allen, Leith; Mihas, Pavlos – Physics Teacher, 1999
Gives several sample experiment problems for electricity and magnetism. To solve an experiment problem, students have to do one or more of the following: clarify a poorly defined problem, divide a problem into parts, access the appropriate concept needed to solve each problem part, decide whether approximations are appropriate, design an…
