Hitier, Mathilde; González-Martín, Alejandro S. – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2022
Of the many disciplines that rely on calculus, physics is among those with the strongest connections to this branch of mathematics. For instance, the derivative--one of the key notions of calculus--is used to describe velocity and acceleration, which play a central role in mechanics. In post-secondary education, in particular at the college level,…

Anil, Özgür; Batdi, Veli – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
The present research is an examination of Augmented Reality (AR) applications in Science Education using the Multi-complementary Approach (McA). This incorporates multiple analyses: i) Pre-complementary: meta-analysis and meta-thematic analysis, ii) Post-complementary: an experimental design with a pre- and post-test control group and iii)…

Hahn, L.; Klein, P. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Eye tracking is becoming increasingly popular in physics education research (PER). As technology has advanced considerably in recent years and has become more user friendly, it is anticipated that eye tracking will play an increasingly significant role in assessing student learning at the process level in future studies. The main objective of this…

Salimpour, Saeed; Fitzgerald, Michael T. – Science & Education, 2022
This study explored over 200 journals and a content-focussed research repository to investigate the occurrence of research on the Big Questions in the field of astronomy education research (AER), focussing on Cosmology and Religion. Using both qualitative and quantitative techniques, 151 articles were selected and analysed. Our results reveal that…

Danny Doucette; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] This review article provides an overview of research on the topic of gender equity in educational physics labs. As many institutions and instructors seek to evolve or transform physics lab learning, it is important that changes are made…

Taskin, Tugba; Karadag, Mustafa – Physics Education, 2022
The weight, one of the key concepts of physics education, still continues to be discussed among physics educators. Today, there are two main definitions as the 'gravitational' and 'operational', but there are differences even between them. It is important to know the different approaches found in textbooks in eliminating misconceptions and…

Ferreira, Eric Batista; Toti, Frederico Augusto – Science & Education, 2022
Brazilian journals play an important role in the local scientific scene. Despite its importance, Brazilian scientific production in Physics and Science education needs further articulation regarding the profile and impact of manuscripts. Therefore, our main goal in this paper is to monitor the trends in the Brazilian journals from 2013 to 2019…

Ketonen, Laura; Lehtinen, Antti; Koskinen, Pekka – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] In recent years, physics instructional labs have been under considerable research and development. However, there seems to be no shared understanding of how the assessment of instructional labs should be arranged to best serve students'…

Prahani, Binar Kurnia; Amiruddin, Mohd Zaidi Bin; Suprapto, Nadi; Deta, Utama Alan; Cheng, Tsung-Hui – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2022
Currently, physics education is a science that is still considered abstract by many students and the public. Thus, there is a need for information on the current trends in physics education to adapt to the current situation. Based on the Scopus, the research objective is to explore the ongoing trends in the last ten years and during the COVID-19…

Kizilcik, Hasan Sahin; Aygün, Müge; Sahin, Esin; Önder-Çelikkanli, Nuray; Türk, Osman; Taskin, Tugba; Günes, Bilal – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
This study aims to make a thematic classification of possible misconceptions about solid friction by reviewing papers in the literature which include conceptual difficulties about friction; in this way, the study contributes to the literature. The study's scope was limited to the dry friction that occurs with the interaction of two solid objects,…

Jon-Marc G. Rodriguez; Jocelyn Elizabeth Nardo; Solaire A. Finkenstaedt-Quinn; Field M. Watts – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Extant literature has emphasized the importance of education research being theory-based. To this end, many research articles have a distinct "theoretical framework" section describing the theoretical underpinnings that inform the research. Nevertheless, there is large variation in how explicit articles are regarding their use of…

Delahay, Anita; Lovett, Marsha; Anderson, David; Sen, Surajit – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
The preparation gap [Salehi et al., Phys. Rev. Phys. Educ. Res. 15, 020114 (2019)] refers to gaps in students' prior knowledge that can negatively affect their learning as they engage in introductory physics courses. To better characterize the gap, the current study distinguished the impact of various prior knowledge components on learning gains.…

Çalik, Muammer; Ultay, Neslihan; Bag, Hasan; Ayas, Alipasa – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Through a meta-analysis, this study examines how effective particulate nature of matter (PNM)-based intervention studies are at improving academic performance. Well-known databases (e.g., ERIC, Springer Link, Taylor & Francis, and ScienceDirect) were used to look for the PNM-based intervention studies via specific keyword patterns. Also, a…

Aygün, Müge; Hacioglu, Yasemin – Athens Journal of Education, 2022
The purpose of this study is to review the postgraduate theses on science/physics education in Turkey to guide the teaching of the sound concept. Although the theses examined within the scope of this study belong to a certain region, the previous literature shows us that the learning difficulties/misconceptions are generally independent of…

Nyirahabimana, Pascasie; Minani, Evariste; Nduwingoma, Mathias; Kemeza, Imelda – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2022
A subject of physics includes various complex and sophisticated concepts that pose a challenge for both instructors to teach and students to grasp the clarity in the subject. Many researchers have discussed this challenge toward adopting an appropriate approach to teach physics in the institution. Therefore, the study reviews the research articles…
