Direct linkFiedler, Kristin; Kubsch, Marcus; Neumann, Knut; Nordine, Jeffrey – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Science education research has repeatedly revealed students' problems with understanding the energy concept, in particular, their understanding of potential energy. Newer research suggests that teaching students fields as a means to store potential energy may promote a more consistent understanding of the energy concept. Yet, it is presently…

Schroedler, Tobias; Rosner-Blumenthal, Hannah; Böning, Caroline – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2023
This paper presents findings from a pre-post study on pre-service teachers' beliefs about multilingualism and language use. A full cohort of pre-service middle school teachers in Germany (n = 259) was surveyed before and after completing a compulsory module on multilingualism using a validated instrument that captures participants' beliefs about…

Learning to Learn in Mathematics: Two Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Fellows' Narratives
Download full textGoldberg, Sabrina; Dean, Jana; Portaankorva-Koivisto, Paivi – Journal of Global Education and Research, 2023
Two middle school educators earned a Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching fellowship. A Fulbright Finland Foundation inter-country travel grant provided the grantees with a unique opportunity to connect and collaborate at the University of Helsinki. Within this research, they described their inquiry experiences. The research included…

Liebl, Sebastian; Töpfer, Clemens; Ennigkeit, Fabienne – Cogent Education, 2021
Teacher's self-efficacy is a relevant judgement of self-belief by teachers. Studies reveal inverse response bias of teachers' self-assessment. Parallel item presentation can be used as a method to reduce such distortions. The major goal of this study was to develop and verify such a measure of parallel item presentation in order to compare…

Hauk, Dennis; Gröschner, Alexander; Weil, Maralena; Böheim, Ricardo; Schindler, Ann-Kathrin; Alles, Martina; Seidel, Tina – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2023
Promoting teachers to lead classroom discourse effectively is a relevant topic for teacher professional development worldwide. This study compares the impacts of two teacher professional development programmes that aim to support teachers in their classroom discourse practices. In one programme, an adaptive and practitioner-led approach was…

Buscher, Christian – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Statistical literacy is a skill that will be required by all students, but only limited insights exist into how it can be developed in middle schools. Research is required that identifies design principles and provides didactic materials for developing statistical literacy in actual middle school classrooms, meaning classrooms in which statistics…

Hartmann, Luisa-Marie; Krawitz, Janina; Schukajlow, Stanislaw – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
As problem posing has been shown to foster students' problem-solving abilities, problem posing might serve as an innovative teaching approach for improving students' modelling performance. However, there is little research on problem posing regarding real-world situations. The present paper addresses this research gap by using a modelling…

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…

Büscher, Christian; Schnell, Susanne – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2017
The present study investigates the processes of how German middle school students (age 14) interpret, contrast and evaluate different (informal) statistical measures in order to summarise and compare frequency distributions. To trace the developing insights into the properties of these measures, this paper uses the 'emergent modelling'…

Stender, Anita; Schwichow, Martin; Zimmerman, Corinne; Härtig, Hendrik – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
Many science curricula and standards emphasise that students should learn both scientific knowledge and the skills associated with the construction of this knowledge. One way to achieve this goal is to use inquiry-learning activities that embed the use of science process skills. We investigated the influence of scientific reasoning skills (i.e.…

Brauch, Nicola; Leone, Giovanna; Sarrica, Mauro – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2019
This study analysed questionnaire responses from 309 history teachers who come from nine European countries and Israel. The open-ended questions explored their experiences of teaching Sensitive historical Issues (SI) from joint social psychological and history didactics perspectives. First data was analysed hermeneutically, it was then interpreted…

Pöhler, Birte; Prediger, Susanne – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
Monolingual or multilingual students with low academic language proficiency need to acquire conceptual understanding for percentages and the language to communicate about them. The design research study explores how these two learning goals can be fostered by a macro-scaffolding approach for seventh grade students. The dual hypothetical learning…

Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Kolter, Jana; Blum, Werner – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
In the study presented in this paper, we examined the possibility to scaffold mathematical modelling with strategies. The strategies were prompted using an instrument called "solution plan" as a scaffold. The effects of this step by step instrument on mathematical modelling competency and on self-reported strategies were tested using…

Roesch, Frank; Nerb, Josef; Riess, Werner – International Journal of Science Education, 2015
Our study investigated whether problem-oriented designed ecology lessons with phases of direct instruction and of open experimentation foster the development of cross-domain and domain-specific components of "experimental problem-solving ability" better than conventional lessons in science. We used a paper-and-pencil test to assess…

Geller, Cornelia; Neumann, Knut; Boone, William J.; Fischer, Hans E. – International Journal of Science Education, 2014
This manuscript details our efforts to assess and compare students' learning about electricity in three countries. As our world is increasingly driven by technological advancements, the education of future citizens in science becomes one important resource for economic productivity. Not surprisingly international large-scale assessments are viewed…
