de Sousa Netto, Manoel Camilo; Pinto, Adilson Luiz; Semeler, Alexandre Ribas – Education for Information, 2019
Law enforcement agencies in Brazil communicate with each other using documents formalized in a language predominantly written in pure text. However, postmodern criminal organizations play complex roles, making it difficult to describe their actions using only text. Visual memory is relevant to learning and thus should be applied. Learning about…

Is the Factor Observed in Investigations on the Item-Position Effect Actually the Difficulty Factor?
Schweizer, Karl; Troche, Stefan – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
In confirmatory factor analysis quite similar models of measurement serve the detection of the difficulty factor and the factor due to the item-position effect. The item-position effect refers to the increasing dependency among the responses to successively presented items of a test whereas the difficulty factor is ascribed to the wide range of…

Viennot, Laurence; Décamp, Nicolas – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
This paper is inspired by the widely accepted need to develop critical thinking in physics students and teachers. More specifically, it is focused on the development of a critical attitude in prospective physics teachers. The question of a possible interplay between the development of conceptual comprehension and that of a critical attitude…

Richards, Tara N.; Gillespie, Lane Kirkland; Claxton, Taylor – Journal of School Violence, 2021
A paucity of studies has examined incidents of sexual misconduct reported to Title IX coordinators at institutions of higher education (IHEs) or examined differences across types of IHEs. We used 2018 data from incidents of sexual misconduct (N = 3,829) reported to Title IX coordinators at IHEs in New York (N = 209) to examine the context,…

Allen, Bradley – Physics Teacher, 2017
One challenge for the introductory physics teacher is incorporating calculus techniques into the laboratory setting. It can be difficult to strike a balance between presenting an experimental task for which calculus is essential and making the mathematics accessible to learners who may be apprehensive about applying it. One-dimensional kinematics…

Özdemir, Alev; Mirici, Semra; Çigdemoglu, Ceyhan – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2021
The study aimed to investigate the effect of project supervision training offered to Biology teachers on their views of the nature of scientific inquiry. We employed an action research design, as one of the qualitative research methods in this study. The participants were composed of 39 Biology teachers who had attended training on project…

Pahwa, Gantavya; Pingali, Rushil G.; Khubchandani, Aashish K.; Roy, Ekansh; Mudaliyar, Roshni R.; Mudaliyar, Rajesh P. – Physics Education, 2017
The aim of this paper is to investigate the stability of a bottle filled with different volumes of water, and to determine the angle at which it topples over for each volume of water. Data for the angle at which the bottle toppled were gathered experimentally using a cylindrical 1 litre bottle, and two theoretical models were then developed,…

McGough, Julie V.; Nyberg, Lisa M. – NSTA Press, 2017
Children want to explore, dig, build, play, and wonder. To do this they need to touch, feel, see, observe, listen, manipulate, plan, and create. How does a teacher build and maintain a learning environment that will help students investigate meaningful questions? How does a teacher plan and manage ongoing investigations? How does a teacher use…

Lisec, Jacinta; Dezuanni, Michael – Teaching Science, 2018
Through the science curriculum, teachers can use students' passion for screen content to motivate them to explore innovative new ways to bring their science learning to life through video making. Communicating science concepts using multimodal literacies can be a particularly powerful way for students to learn about science, especially when they…

Kademian, Sylvie M.; Davis, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2018
New reforms in science education emphasize facilitating all students' sense making of the big ideas and crosscutting concepts in science along with engagement in science practices. Supporting this learning requires complex, ambitious teaching that is uncommon in U.S. classrooms. Thus, novice teachers will need considerable support in learning how…

Fila, Nicholas David – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Innovation has become an important phenomenon in engineering and engineering education. By developing novel, feasible, viable, and valued solutions to complex technical and human problems, engineers support the economic competitiveness of organizations, make a difference in the lives of users and other stakeholders, drive societal and scientific…

Elander, Kelly; Cronje, Johannes C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2016
While learning interventions were traditionally classified as either objectivist or constructivist there has been an increasing tendency for practitioners to use elements of both paradigms in a consolidated fashion. This has meant a re-think of the two perspectives as diametrically opposite. A four-quadrant model, first proposed in this journal…

Robertson, Bill – Science and Children, 2016
Having written columns dealing with science fairs before, Bill Robertson notes that it's been a long time since he has tackled the subject of what passes for a "science fair" in schools these days. Because science fairs have changed over the years, Robertson revisits the topic and explains the scientific method. The main focus of the…

Ligon, Kateryna V.; Rowell, R. Kevin; Stoltz, Kevin B. – Journal of Leadership Education, 2019
The basis of this study is Kelley's (1992) two-dimensional model, which measures five follower types. Previous investigations did not support the validity of Kelley's model. Although the model is utilized in research, the validity and reliability of the Kelley Followership Questionnaire (KFQ) is still in question. In this study, the KFQ validity…

Coath, Martin – School Science Review, 2017
This article describes a workshop designed to help students to ascertain the relative difficulty and amenability to scientific investigation of various questions. Group discussions are used to illustrate that some questions do not have a right answer, which is not a normal expectation in science lessons.
