Direct linkGupta, Ayush; Elby, Andrew; Conlin, Luke D. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
Many science education researchers have argued that learners' commitment to a substance (matter-based) ontology impedes the learning of scientific concepts that scientists typically conceptualize as processes or interactions, such as force, electric current, and heat. By this account, students' tendency to classify these entities as…

Daane, Abigail R.; Vokos, Stamatis; Scherr, Rachel E. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) require teachers to understand aspects of energy degradation and the second law of thermodynamics, including energy's availability and usefulness, changes in energy concentration, and the tendency of energy to spread uniformly. In an effort to develop learning goals that support teachers in…

Fazio, Claudio; Di Paola, Benedetto; Guastella, Ivan – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2012
In this paper we discuss a study on the approaches to modeling of students of the 4-year elementary school teacher program at the University of Palermo, Italy. The answers to a specially designed questionnaire are analyzed on the basis of an "a priori" analysis made using a general scheme of reference on the epistemology of mathematics and…
