Peikos, George; Spyrtou, Anna; Pnevmatikos, Dimitris; Papadopoulou, Penelope – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: It is stated that it is necessary that students develop their nanoliteracy in order to come up with everyday issues arising from Nanoscale Science and Technology (NST) applications, taking informed decisions and estimating the potential risks and benefits. Even though the inclusion of NST in compulsory education is supported by many…

Zoupidis, Anastasios; Tselfes, Vasilis; Kariotoglou, Petros – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2023
In this study we investigated pre-service early childhood teachers' (referred to as student teachers) beliefs that might influence their intention to use inquiry-based learning methods that have been taught on an inquiry-based science course. During this course, the student teachers (N = 17) participated in a number of classroom experiments…

Stylos, Georgios; Kamtsios, Spiridon; Kotsis, Konstantinos T. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
International research shows that primary school teachers don't have the necessary level of self-efficacy to provide high quality science learning and teaching opportunities to their students. The aim of the present study is to validate the Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument (STEBI-B) and to investigate the self-efficacy beliefs of 408…
