Magaña, Ernesto Colomo; Ariza, Andrea Cívico; Poletti, Giorgio – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2023
Introduction: Although death is a reality inherent to human life, it continues to be a taboo phenomenon that generates unease in some contexts such as education. Its limited curricular approach and the personal implications of its treatment in the classroom constitute some difficulties for greater inclusion in the different stages. Method: The aim…

Adúriz-Bravo, Agustín; Sans Pinillos, Alger – Science & Education, 2023
The central argument of this article is that abduction as a "mode of inference" is a key element in the nature of scientists' science and should consequently be introduced in school science. Abduction generally understood as generation and selection of hypotheses permits to articulate the classical scientific contexts of discovery and…

Arslan, Seyda Ferah – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
The attitudes of midwifery students, who are being trained to perform the profession of midwifery in the future, toward doing scientific research are determining factors in increasing the quality of midwifery and strengthening evidence-based practices. Undergraduate education is an important stage in which basic research-related perspectives and…

Deng, Liming; Liu, Jing – Applied Linguistics, 2023
This study explores how lexical bundles link smaller functional units (steps) in research article (RA) conclusions in hard and soft science knowledge fields by using corpus-based and corpus-driven approaches. RA conclusion corpora from the hard and soft sciences were compiled and four-word lexical bundles were extracted from each corpus.…

Shogren, Karrie A. – Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
The right to science has been identified in multiple human rights treaties; however, there has not been a clear framework for how governments or research organizations can advance this right particularly ensuring equitable engagement of people with intellectual disability (ID) in the "process" of scientific research. Although the…

Morgan, Hani – Policy Futures in Education, 2023
The reduction in funding that many American universities are experiencing has led to concerns that these institutions will rely more on corporations to provide funding for research. Unfortunately, industry-funded research can have a corrupting effect on science. Since universities are generally thought of as institutions that advance science, some…

Adam A. Ahlers; Traci Brimhall – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
Undergraduate students enrolled in ecology courses read peer-reviewed, scientific literature to learn how hypotheses are tested and to understand conclusions from research. This technical material can be difficult to understand for many students, thus inhibiting learning processes and reducing interest in courses or associated content. Using…

Ibrahima Dina Diatta; André Berchtold – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2023
Using secondary data has many advantages, but there are also many limitations, including the lack of relevant information. This article draws on a previous study that used secondary data to investigate substance use in young, elite athletes. Three types of missing data appeared: missing data, lack of information about the data collection process,…

Eberly, B.; Lincoln, D. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Neutrinos are perhaps the least understood of the known denizens of the subatomic world. They have nearly no mass, interact only via the weak nuclear force and gravity, and, perhaps most surprising, the three known species of neutrinos can transform from one variant into another. This transformation, called neutrino oscillation, has been…

Ramos-Vielba, Irene; Thomas, Duncan A.; Aagaard, Kaare – Research Evaluation, 2022
Shaping public research to enhance its societal contribution has become a key policy concern. Against this background, how research funding may stimulate the societal orientation of scientific research--or how funding is societally targeted--has been underexplored. This article proposes an exploratory approach to characterize societal targeting in…

Evans, James P. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Although unrecognized for his scientific achievements during his life, Gregor Mendel pioneered our modern understanding of the gene, work that shaped the field of genetics and advances in biology and medicine. The field that he set in motion 200 years ago lies at the center of current ethical debates about the future of humanity, the limits of…

The attitude towards scientific research of university students is a determinant index of the education quality in an institution, and it is fundamental to consolidate the profession as a science. The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes towards scientific research of the Peruvian students of the professional program of psychology. The…

Ehud Tsemach – Journal of Beliefs & Values, 2025
Research on personal epistemology reveals how people's epistemological beliefs about science intersect with their sociocultural background, cultural norms, and gender. Less is known, however, about how religious background and faith shape epistemological beliefs. The present study explores the epistemological beliefs of ultra-Orthodox (Haredi)…
