Zohar, Asnat R.; Levy, Sharona T. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Embodied cognition theories view sensorimotor activity as fundamental to learning, knowing, and reasoning. To investigate the role of physical movement in conceptual learning, we developed and explored an Embodied Learning Interactive Chemistry environment (ELI-Chem). The ELI-Chem learning environment includes a computer simulation, a device for…

Heron Baptista De Oliveira Medeiros; Heiliane De Brito Fontana; Walter Herzog – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Given the recently proposed three-filament theory of muscle contraction, we present a low-cost physical sarcomere model aimed at illustrating the role of titin in the production of active force in skeletal muscle. With inexpensive materials, it is possible to illustrate actin-myosin cross-bridge interactions between the thick and thin filaments…

de Winter, James; Denton, Alan – School Science Review, 2021
The bicycle is one of the greatest locomotive machines ever invented. It is also a perfect vehicle for you to teach some of the ideas that are taught in forces topics to 11- to 16-year-olds. In this article we look at some of the ways in which you can use the bicycle and cycling to provide an alternative and engaging context for teaching some of…

Liljedahl, Peter; Andrà, Chiara; Rouleau, Annette; Martino, Pietro Di – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Teacher practice is rife with tensions. Tensions around what and how best to teach, how to manage situations with students, and how to manage situations with colleagues, administrators, and parents. These tensions are often seen as pairs of opposing internal and external forces: this assessment is better, but it takes a lot of time. These forces…

Hull, Michael M.; Nakayama, Shizuka; Tosa, Sachiko – Physics Teacher, 2023
Newton's laws are a ubiquitous topic in introductory physics instruction. One common problem involves asking what will happen if you stick your finger into a cup of water sitting on a scale. A way to solve the problem would be to first recognize that the water exerts a buoyant force upward on the finger, which students can recognize as being the…

Zou, Yi; Jin, Lizhen; Li, Yanbing; Hu, Tao – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
Students' problem-solving ability depends on their understanding of related scientific concepts. Therefore, the modeling and assessment of students' understanding of specific scientific concepts is important to promote students' problem-solving ability, as it can find students' understanding difficulties and explore breakthrough strategies…

Force, Christina Marie – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Cyberbullying affects almost half of the teenagers in America (National Crime Prevention Council [NCPC], 2010). The effects of cyberbullying can be detrimental to teens and may include withdrawal from school activities, illness, depression, eating disorders, or suicidal ideations (Dehue, Bolman, & Vollink, 2008; Mason, 2008). In order to…

Ndiaye, Yakhoub; Hérold, Jean-François; Chatoney, Marjolaine – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: Many researchers have investigated student reasoning in Newtonian mechanics. In 1979 Viennot revealed that most students associate the concept of force with the velocity or acceleration of a motion. Forty years later, student understandings remain a major challenge for teachers. The implications of this challenge are still unclear,…

Ha, Hyejin; Jang, Taehun; Sohn, Sang Ho; Kim, Junghwa – Physics Teacher, 2022
A solenoid is a coil wound many times on a cylinder of length greater than its diameter. Solenoids are mainly used as electromagnets, because a magnetic field is formed when current flows through a solenoid. The solenoid described in secondary school and university textbooks is a single-layered solenoid. Further, textbooks and papers focusing on…

McCall, Martin; Kinsler, Paul; Tymms, Vijay – Physics Teacher, 2020
In many high school teaching materials the force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is discussed using an idea based on a so-called "catapult field" (cf. Fig. 1), an engaging depiction of magnetic forces, albeit one which, to the best of our knowledge, has neither been used in college-level educational material or scrutinized…

Bouzid, Tariq; Kaddari, Fatiha; Darhmaoui, Hassane – Journal of Educational Research, 2022
This work investigates science major students' misconceptions about "force and motion." Stratified-convenience sampling method has been conducted on 232 Moroccan high school students. Using Force Concept Inventory (FCI), we examined all known misconceptions listed in the original article by Hestenes et al. (1992, "Phys. Teach."…

Kwon, Munho; Jun, Joongwoo; Jang, Taehun; Sohn, Sangho – Physics Teacher, 2020
Electromagnetism, along with mechanics, is one of the most fundamental disciplines in physics, and the magnetic force is one of the most easily accessible forces existing in nature. Magnets are often used as science teaching aids and are readily available from a young age; the forces of these magnets are first dealt with in NGSS (Next Generation…

Marake, 'Maphole; Jita, Loyiso C.; Tsakeni, Maria – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
It is important for students to understand force concepts because they are central to learning physics and other sciences; however, students find it difficult to understand. There are calls for teachers to tap into their professional knowledge and develop beliefs that help them assist students comprehend the topic. To meet this challenge,…

Bulbul, Mustafa Sahin – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2022
This study was conducted with a student who is visually impaired and questioned the force of gravity. The different stages encountered in the process were specified as steps in the study and it was shared what kind of inquiry form was needed at each step. There are different activities such as waiting for a week and thought experiment in the…

Kotsis, Konstantinos T.; Panagou, Dimitris – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
This study is empirical research about alternative ideas on the concept of force for five different age groups, primary school students (11), middle school students (15), high school students (17), students of the Department of Primary Education (21), and active teachers in primary education (27-50). We used the same questionnaire for all groups,…
