Schnittka, Christine – Science Teacher, 2017
Many students (and adults) do not understand a basic tenet of energy literacy: how electricity is produced. They do not know how coal or other fossil fuels are used to make electricity, nor do they understand how nuclear power, hydroelectric power, and wind power work. The author developed a series of lessons to help students understand how…

Roberts, J. W. – Physics Education, 2018
Nuclear energy produces low carbon, safe and reliable electricity so is it now time for the UK to invest in this proven technology or are the misplaced perceptions regarding its safety, cost and the quantities of radioactive waste produced causing us to overlook nuclear as a major component of our electricity mix? This paper discusses these issues…

Ryan, Qing X.; Schermerhorn, Benjamin P. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
In an effort to examine students' understanding about the structure of boundary conditions in upper-division courses, think-aloud interviews were conducted in the context of both quantum mechanics and electricity and magnetism. In the quantum mechanics task, students were presented with a standard potential step scenario. In the electricity and…

Fokides, Emmanuel; Papoutsi, Alexandra – Education and Information Technologies, 2020
Primary school students find it difficult to grasp concepts related to electricity. On the other hand, tangible user interfaces, such as Makey-Makey, offer an interesting alternative for teaching this subject. In order to examine whether the above holds true, a pilot project was carried out, having as a target group 75 students aged 10-11, divided…

Bisschoff, Zelda S.; Massyn, Liezel – International Journal of Training and Development, 2023
To remain sustainably viable in today's business environment, employers require appropriate skills to support their commitment to social responsibility. When recruiting skills, employers recognize that graduate attributes are essential indicators of the capability to render constructive workplace outcomes. Graduates need to develop these…

Eylem Yildiz Feyzioglu; Ercan Akpinar; Nilgün Tatar – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2018
The aim of this research was to explore the effect of a Technology-enhanced Metacognitive Learning Platform (TeMLP) on student's monitoring accuracy and understanding of electricity. An interactive TeMLP was prepared on the electricity unit covering the topics of static and current electricityfor 7th graders; the platform contained computer…

Salar, Riza; Turgut, Umit – Science Education International, 2021
The learning characteristics of each student are different. Differentiated instruction considers individual differences, as such guides the learning journey rather than seeing these differences as a challenge. The purpose of this research was to compare the effects of differentiated instruction and 5E learning cycle in physics classes on the…

Merritt, Eileen G.; Bowers, Nicole; Rimm-Kaufman, Sara E. – Grantee Submission, 2019
The development of energy literacy for all citizens is critical as we face climate change and rapid depletion of existing energy resources. This study explores energy literacy development in fourth grade classrooms. Our team developed a curriculum on energy resources aligned with the Next GenerationScience Standards. We then trained teachers how…

Schubatzky, Thomas; Rosenberger, Michael; Haagen-Schützenhöfer, Claudia – Physics Education, 2019
Introductory electricity is a difficult topic for most lower secondary students, especially the development of an adequate conceptualisation of voltage is seen as a major obstacle. A few instructional concepts concerning the teaching and learning of physics have been proven helpful when it comes to constructing conceptual knowledge. For example,…

Ong, Aloysius; Lee Teo, Chew; Tan, Samuel; Song Kim, Mi – Education 3-13, 2021
This case study explores how a science teacher adopted knowledge building and learning analytics to support a class of primary five students to collaboratively inquire and learn about electricity. Specifically, we aim to understand how the teacher implemented a lesson design guided by knowledge building principles of idea improvement and community…

Zabriskie, Cabot; Stewart, John – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
While many studies have examined the structure, validity, and reliability of the Force Concept Inventory, far less research has been performed on other conceptual instruments in widespread use in physics education research. This study performs a confirmatory analysis of the Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM) guided by a…

Stilwell, Matthew D.; Yao, Chunhua; Vajko, Dale; Jeffery, Kelly; Powell, Douglas; Wang, Xudong; Gillian-Daniel, Anne Lynn – Science Teacher, 2021
What if "every breath you take, every move you make" (Sting 1983) could be harnessed to produce renewable energy? Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are state-of-the-art devices researchers are studying to do just that--convert kinetic energy into electrical energy at the source (Saurabh Rathore 2018). This type of electrical energy is…
