Corrochano, Diego; Gómez-Gonçalves, Alejandro – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
This study uses a one-group pre-test and post-test design to describe the mental models of geologic time held by a group of Spanish pre-service primary teachers, before and after an instructional intervention that introduced the work with different timescales. The questionnaire was given before instruction and five weeks after it. It consists of a…

Clinton, Amanda B. – Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation, 2020
Interest in international aspects of educational psychology and consultation, as well as other sub-specializations in the field, has grown significantly in recent years. However, a truly global perspective on human processes and behaviors has yet to come to fruition and the field remains largely Western-dominated. This paper discusses the…

Kelly, Peter – FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2020
Whether the relationship between policymaking and science has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic remains unclear. The success scientists have enjoyed in dealing with the virus and hopes they will develop a vaccine may increase the status of some experts whilst damaging populist anti-science sentiment. Some may call for increased…

Thomas, Joshua D.; Lee, Scott A.; Cooley, Max; Irving, Richard E. – Physics Teacher, 2020
Igniting excitement for physics in our students is a goal of every instructor. In this paper, we discuss a unique example of the concept of density, a subject that is rarely viewed as intriguing by students. By combining a problem involving dinosaurs and an effective density, our students' interest is often captured through calculating an…

Aguilera, David; Perales-Palacios, F. Javier – Research in Science Education, 2020
Improving the attitudes of students towards science is one of the main challenges facing the teaching of the subject. The main objective of this study is to analyze the effect of students' attitudes towards science through different didactic interventions. The bibliographic search was carried out via the Web of Science database, specifically in…

Höttecke, Dietmar; Allchin, Douglas – Science Education, 2020
Individuals are increasingly relying on social media as their primary source of scientific information. Science education needs to adapt. Nature of science (NOS) education is already widely accepted as essential to scientific literacy and to an informed public. We argue that NOS now needs to also include the NOS communication: its mediation,…

Vellanki, Vivek; Davesar, Urja – Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, 2020
The use of photography in social science research has always been fraught with tensions and has changed drastically over the years (Azoulay, 2016; Edwards, 2015). In recent decades, photovoice has gained prominence as a participatory methodology that uses photography to create opportunities for community engagement in research (Greene et al.,…

Podeschi, R. J. – Information Systems Education Journal, 2020
Information Systems (IS) instructors are continually searching for new and innovative ways to engage students in authentic experiences that mimic the real-world. Previous research asserts that graduates are more prepared when they have hands-on learning opportunities that are linked to real external clients. Unfortunately, real-world projects can…

Hod, Yotam; Twersky, Daniel – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2020
This research examines small group collaboration on the Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox, an interactive, real-time topographical simulator that provides a color layer of augmentation showing depths and height, contour lines, and hydrology vis-a-vis the terrain of sand in a box. Prior research has focused on AR Sandbox activity designs, outcome…

McDougall, Douglas; Ferreyro-Mazieres, Sofia – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2020
The "Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education (CJSMTE)" is celebrating its 20 years in 2020. This paper compares the data from the 2009 review (Wallace, 2009) and the 2015 review (Wiseman & Pegg, 2015) to the data from the past 20 years, from 2001 to 2020. The findings suggest that there was an increase in…

Unyapoti, Trai; Arayathanitkul, Kwan; Emarat, Narumon – Physics Teacher, 2020
Collisions are real-world situations from everyday life (such as car crashes, playing billiards, etc.) that can be described and understood by the principle of conservation of momentum. One might expect that learning from simple collisions might help students understand more complicated physical phenomena. However, from our teaching experiences we…

Kervinen, Anttoni; Roth, Wolff-Michael; Juuti, Kalle; Uitto, Anna – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2020
Science education can be alienating for students, as it is apart from the mundane world with which they are familiar. Science education research has approached the gap between everyday understandings and science learning largely as a challenge arising while learning about science concepts and the kinds of instructional approaches that may support…
