Panagiotis Lazos; Constantina Stefanidou; Constantine Skordoulis – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
The objectives of the present study are to investigate both the history of the collection of scientific instruments from the Maraslean Teaching Center (MTC) and the potential for the collection's use in STEM education programs. Although MTC went by a number of different names during its long history, its institutional goal remained the same:…

Velentzas, Athanasios; Halkia, Krystallia – Research in Science Education, 2011
In this work an attempt is made to explore the possible value of using Thought Experiments (TEs) in teaching physics to upper secondary education students. Specifically, a qualitative research project is designed to investigate the extent to which the Thought Experiment (TE) called "Heisenberg's Microscope", as it has been transformed by…
