Shi, Wei-Zhao; Ma, Liping; Wang, Jingying – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Students' epistemologies of experimental physics refer to how they understand the role of experimentation as well as the experimental operation and design and communication of results in physics. This research aimed to find whether students in inquiry-based physics laboratory activities show more expert-like epistemologies of experimental physics…

Chen, Cheng; Bao, Lei; Fritchman, Joseph C.; Ma, Hemin – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Causal reasoning is a fundamental cognitive process that supports a wide range of learning activities such as making predictions and inferences, explaining phenomena, and drawing conclusions. In physics learning, causal reasoning plays an important role in developing conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. This study builds off the…

Xu, Wangyi; Liu, Qiaoyi; Koenig, Kathleen; Fritchman, Joseph; Han, Jing; Pan, Sudong; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Momentum is a foundational concept in physics. Although it is often taught in introductory mechanics courses, there are a limited number of studies on this topic in the literature. The results from these studies have consistently shown that students have difficulties in understanding momentum, especially the connections between net force, time,…

Lai, Manhong – Education and Urban Society, 2021
Enhancing university teaching has become a focus of higher education reform policies on the Chinese mainland. Facilitating teacher collaboration within teacher communities is perceived to be an effective way of enhancing teaching quality. Using qualitative methods, we conducted in-depth interviews at a sample university (H) which is a regional…

Combination of the Research-Based Learning Method with the Modern Physics Experiment Course Teaching
Liu, Xiaolai; Li, Qinghuai – International Education Studies, 2011
It has been the hotspot to reconstruct the education course based on the research-based learning in the course reform in many countries in recent years. The new course standard of China insists that the teaching is the interactive process that teachers and students communicate and develop together. In the teaching, the relationship between…

Lin, Huimei; Qian, Yangyi; Wen, Jinju; Mai, Yuhua – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
This research aimed to explore the upper-secondary school chemistry teachers' and students' conceptual structures of atomic structure by using multidimensional scaling. Atomic structure is considered to be one of the most difficult concepts in upper-secondary school chemistry course so that the conceptual structure regarding atomic structure held…

Youdell, Deborah; Lindley, Martin; Shapiro, Kimron; Sun, Yu; Leng, Yue – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2020
In this paper we begin to explore how knowledges being generated in bioscience might be brought into productive articulation with the Sociology of Education, considering the potential for emerging transdisciplinary, 'biosocial' approaches to enable new ways of researching and understanding pressing educational issues. In this paper, as in our…
