The Importance of Sharing Current Scientific Information with Biology Teachers in Weekly Newsletters
Peer reviewed
Direct linkMerav Siani; Ohad Levkovich; Roee Ben Nissan; Awni Gabara; Moshera Alatawna; Anat Yarden – American Biology Teacher, 2025
High-school teachers and students do not usually have access to scientific research advances because original research papers contain many highly specialized words that are specific to the discipline. Scientific newsletters (SNs) summarize current scientific research advances and trends. During the 2022-2023 school year, 21 SNs teaching biology…

Avraham Merzel; Efraim Yehuda Weissman; Nadav Katz; Igal Galili – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Teaching quantum physics (QP) to high school (HS) students is gaining momentum, necessitating the exploration of various effective methods. Specifically, the research on quantitative teaching methods is still in its early stages. Understanding the power of Dirac notation (DN) in teaching is crucial for grasping the complexities of QP, as it…

Enas Easa; Ron Blonder – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Inclusion of a diverse group of students, both regular learners and learners with special needs in chemistry classrooms is an important goal of chemistry educators. However, alternative conceptions in chemistry among high-school students can be a barrier for completing the learning process in the classroom, especially in a heterogeneous class.…

Circus art excites amazes and delights. Most of circus genres are based on the principles of classical physics. Dialogic discussions are known as an instrument to identify conceptual barriers (misconceptions) and facilitate their further revision. The present study integrates the three worlds: physics education, dialogic teaching and circus art;…

Laslo, Esther; Baram-Tsabari, Ayelet – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2021
Recent conceptualizations of science literacy, a key aim of contemporary science education, suggest defining it as a function of actual uses of science in daily life. We characterize expressions of science literacy in online authentic public discourse, using content analysis of a year's worth of widely-read Israeli online news site coverage of…

Bar, Varda; Shirtz, Aviv Spector; Brosh, Yafa; Sneider, Cary – Science Educator, 2019
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…

Tal, Marina; Herscovitz, Orit; Dori, Yehudit Judy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
Content knowledge (CK), pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and, assessment knowledge (AK) are fundamental types of teachers' knowledge. Second-career, pre-service chemistry teachers leave the industry and return to the Technion to study in the "Views" program to obtain a high school teaching certificate. Their background can potentially…

Zemel, Yoram; Shwartz, Gabby; Avargil, Shirly – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
In recent years teachers' education programs encourage preservice teachers to practice a variety of assessment methods to prepare them to be highly qualified practitioners who are capable in enhancing students' scientific understanding. Formative assessment (FA) -- also known as assessment for learning -- involves the process of seeking and…

Rap, Shelley; Feldman-Maggor, Yael; Aviran, Ehud; Shvarts-Serebro, Inna; Easa, Enas; Yonai, Ella; Waldman, Ruth; Blonder, Ron – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
In this communication paper we describe how a research-based approach was applied in Israel to support high-school chemistry teachers, who continued to teach using technology during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within the TPACK (technological pedagogical content knowledge) framework for teachers' knowledge in technological environments, we developed a…

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…

Kapon, Shulamit; Merzel, Avraham – Physics Education, 2019
We describe the design rationale and structure of a Methods for Teaching Physics course that was redesigned as a project-based learning (PBL) environment, and the entailed learning process it fostered. The projects consisted of the design and teaching of physics lessons with predefined content and pedagogical focus and were structured as a guided…

Safadi, Rafi' – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Troubleshooting activities require students to diagnose teacher-crafted erroneous examples by detecting and explaining the conceptual errors driving them. In a previous study, the author tested whether diagnosing erroneous examples and then scoring them using a rubric that contained the related worked examples, a step-by-step strategy to solve a…

Identifying Systems Thinking Components in the School Science Curricular Standards of Four Countries
Chiu, Mei-Hung; Mamlok-Naman, Rachel; Apotheker, Jan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Chemistry plays an important role in developing scientific theories to describe, explain, and predict the physical world and to produce useful products for improving quality of life throughout history. To arouse student awareness of the value and importance of learning chemistry and becoming chemistry literate, we propose an application of systems…
