Catherine Lammert; Eric Antwi Akuoko; Jee Kyung Suh; Brian Hand; Gavin Fulmer – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2024
In-service professional development is important for improving teaching. However, little research has examined how the roles, beliefs, and backgrounds of the individuals providing professional development can best be leveraged to create effective professional development programmes. A particularly understudied group are community-based On-Site…

Heather F. Clark – Science Education, 2024
This paper presents the argument that climate change should be taught in schools as a sociopolitical and scientific process, and that students should be able to use their science knowledge to think critically about climate change as a social justice issue. A necessary and achievable outcome of science education is critical climate awareness--an…

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…

David Hamilton; Alyssa Castillo; Molly B. Atkinson – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Instrumentation plays a vital role in almost every area of chemistry. As such, it is imperative that the undergraduate curriculum is designed to allow students to have opportunities to use a variety of instruments to best prepare them for careers in chemistry. Previous work has provided evidence of the types of instruments students use in…

Wonyong Park; Alison Cullinane; Haira Gandolfi; Sahar Alameh; Günkut Mesci – Research in Science Education, 2024
There has been sustained research interest in the role of early career researchers in advancing the field and the challenges that they face. However, efforts to document lived experiences of researchers working in a specific research area within science education have been scarce. This paper considers the meaning of innovation in the context of…

Dennis Fung – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The aim of this research was to investigate the synergistic effects of peer collaboration and graphic organisers (i.e. mind maps) in Hong Kong science classrooms. Over two hundred Grade Four (i.e. Primary Four) students were assigned to different pedagogical groups, namely, "individualised learning with mind mapping," "collaborative…

Elina Palmgren; Tapio Rasa – Science & Education, 2024
Modelling roles of mathematics in physics has proved to be a difficult task, with previous models of the interplay between the two disciplines mainly focusing on mathematical modelling and problem solving. However, to convey a realistic view of physics as a field of science to our students, we need to do more than train them to become fluent in…

Bo Chen; Shaoli Chen; Huinan Liu; Xianhua Meng – Science & Education, 2024
This paper aimed to examine the changes in the representations of nature of science (NOS) in Chinese senior high school chemistry textbooks under the influence of the new curriculum ideas. The study was conducted based on an analytical framework in which the aspects of NOS, the approaches to address NOS, and the content relation of NOS aspects…

David G. Schreurs; Jaclyn M. Trate; Shalini Srinivasan; Melonie A. Teichert; Cynthia J. Luxford; Jamie L. Schneider; Kristen L. Murphy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
With the already widespread nature of multiple-choice assessments and the increasing popularity of answer-until-correct, it is important to have methods available for exploring the validity of these types of assessments as they are developed. This work analyzes a 20-question multiple choice assessment covering introductory undergraduate chemistry…

Emiliano Foresto; Fiorela Nievas; Walter Giordano; Pablo Bogino – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The curriculum for undergraduate Agricultural Engineering does not usually include much laboratory practice. In order to address this, here we propose the design of a practical class on legume-rhizobia symbiosis, using an interdisciplinary approach that takes elements from botany, agriculture, and microbiology. The students perform an assay to…

Ylva Hamnell-Pamment – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Many science students struggle with using scientific language and making sense of scientific phenomena. Thus, there is an increased interest in science education research and public policy with regard to understanding and promoting scientific language use and sensemaking in science classrooms. However, there is a lack of comparative studies on how…

Edy Hafizan Mohd Shahali; Lilia Halim – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Teachers' teaching practices are influenced by various factors, including the teacher's personal (e.g. beliefs, efficacy and attitudes) and school context (e.g. administrative and collegial support). However, the previous model did not consider the interactions between these factors simultaneously in effecting the teaching practices. Thus, an…
