Den Auwer, Christophe; Bayle, Simon; Beccia, Maria Rosa; Bosio, Sandra; Creff, Gaëlle; Jeanson, Aurélie; Michel, Hervé; Pitiot, Christophe; Zurita, Cyril – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
As part of their third-year general chemistry program, students at the University of the Côte d'Azur are taught the basics of radioactivity. The view that third-year university students have of the periodic Table of the Elements is often reduced because it ignores the vast majority of isotopes. As part of this program, a practicum devoted to the…

Bernholt, Sascha; Härtig, Hendrik; Retelsdorf, Jan – Research in Science Education, 2023
The use of texts is an indispensable resource for students' learning, especially in science domains. While developing understanding of a specific topic usually is the main goal of reading expository texts, an important consideration is how to best measure whether this understanding has been reached. In this study, we aimed to analyze gains in…

Deveci, Isa – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2023
In recent years, efforts to transform scientific information produced in basic sciences into technology to facilitate daily life have been increasing. In this sense, the perspective of entrepreneurship gains importance in basic sciences. This study aims analyze documents published on entrepreneurship in basic sciences (physics, chemistry, biology)…

Saslow, Wayne M. – Physics Teacher, 2021
Although the phrase "seat of EMF" in describing chemical cells has fallen into disuse, by distinguishing the distinct but incorrect conceptions both of Galvani and of Volta, in favor of the correct view of Faraday, "seat of EMF" it becomes possible (among other things) to understand: (1) why internal resistance really is…

Shi, Guanxue; Bi, Hualin – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
This study evaluated recent advances in learning progressions for the concept of matter (LPCM) and explored trends by reviewing the literature on the topic published between 2005 and 2021. A total of 21 studies were reviewed. Fifteen studies were devoted to developing LPCM of varying spans and grain sizes. There were six follow-up studies based on…

Leonora Kaldaras; Carl Wieman – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
The ability to express scientific concepts in mathematical terms and integrate scientific and mathematical reasoning about a phenomenon is a foundational cognitive process involved in scientific thinking. This process called "blended math-science sensemaking" (MSS) is a desired skill for all science, technology, engineering, and math…

White, Douglas W. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Laboratory astrophysics and astrochemistry are emerging fields highlighting the importance of laboratory simulations and experiments to benefit remote observations. In particular, ice mixtures found in the outer solar system may offer insight into the early evolution of organic molecules. H[subscript 2]O-ice mixtures containing other species such…

Maestrales, Sarah; Zhai, Xiaoming; Touitou, Israel; Baker, Quinton; Schneider, Barbara; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
In response to the call for promoting three-dimensional science learning (NRC, 2012), researchers argue for developing assessment items that go beyond rote memorization tasks to ones that require deeper understanding and the use of reasoning that can improve science literacy. Such assessment items are usually performance-based constructed…

Dimitris Anastasiou; Clare Nangsin Wirngo; Pantelis Bagos – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of concept maps on science achievement among elementary and secondary education students, including low-achieving students. A systematic search located 55 studies about concept mapping in science achievement published in peer-reviewed journals and dissertations between 1980 and 2020. We extracted 58…

Breanne A. Kirsch; Theodore Bryan; David Hoferer – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
There is a growing need for college science faculty to teach a diverse group of learners. The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework can be used to create inclusive learning materials and activities in the higher education science classroom. A UDL Academy introduced science faculty to the UDL framework, which led to them implementing UDL in…

Dogan, Yunus; Batdi, Veli; Yasar, Mehmet Diyaddin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Flipped classroom, which is inversion of conventional classroom procedures in simple terms, currently stands out as a popular teaching strategy for many Science courses. Purpose: In this article, we tried to make a reinterpretation of the findings of recent empirical studies conducted on the effectiveness of the flipped classroom…

Osborne, Kristy – Teaching Science, 2023
The aim of this research is to take a fresh look at the physical science concepts that Year 3 students struggle with. In this work, the responses of over 8,000 middle-primary-aged students to a range of physics, space science and chemistry questions were evaluated. The questions covered a number of topics ranging from selecting and using simple…

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…

Sun, Yu-Chih – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2021
Plagiarism is not an issue observed only among students; rather, it also occurs in the publications of researchers in academic journals. The current study explored how Nobel laureates, with the highest possible academic status in the world, engage in text borrowing. A list of 91 laureates in physics, chemistry, physiology and medicine, and…

Gal, Jean-Francois – Physics Teacher, 2020
Important changes were recently made to the International System of Units. The readers involved in chemistry and physics, either teachers or advanced students, should be aware of the new definitions of the kilogram, the mole, and more generally of the changes in International System of Units (SI, "Système International") recently…
