Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Civelek, Turhan; Ucar, Erdem; Ustunel, Hakan; Aydin, Mehmet Kemal – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2014
The current research aims to explore the effects of a haptic augmented simulation on students' achievement and their attitudes towards Physics in an immersive virtual reality environment (VRE). A quasi-experimental post-test design was employed utilizing experiment and control groups. The participants were 215 students from a K-12 school in…

Dynamic Open Inquiry Performances of High-School Biology Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zion, Michal; Sadeh, Irit – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2010
In examining open inquiry projects among high-school biology students, we found dynamic inquiry performances expressed in two criteria: "changes occurring during inquiry" and "procedural understanding". Characterizing performances in a dynamic open inquiry project can shed light on both the procedural and epistemological scientific understanding…

A Confirmatory Structural Equation Model of Achievement Estimated by Dichotomous Attitudes, Interest, and Conceptual Understanding
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kim, Minkee; Song, Jinwoong – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2010
Many models in science education have tried to clarify the causal relationships of affective variables on student performance, by presenting theoretical models, exploratory SEM (structural equation models), and confirmatory SEM. Based on the literature, the recent AS-TI-CU model scrutinised the most robust stimuli of conceptual understanding (CU):…

Learning Science through the PDEODE Teaching Strategy: Helping Students Make Sense of Everyday Situations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Costu, Bayram – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2008
The aim of this study was to investigate effectiveness of PDEODE (Predict-Discuss-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain) teaching strategy in helping students make sense of everyday situations. For this, condensation concept was chosen among many science concepts since it is related to many everyday-life events. Forty-eight eleventh graders students…
