Chang, Chun-Yen; Lin, Pei-Ling – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
This study investigated the relationship between gifted students' academic self-concept (ASC) and academic achievement (AC) in earth science with internationally representative high-school students from the third International Earth Science Olympiad (IESO) held in Taiwan in 2009. The results of regression analysis indicated that IESO students' ASC…

Testa, Italo; De Luca Picione, Raffaele; Galano, Silvia – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
In this study, we propose to analyse students' drawings using the Semiotic Cultural Psychological Theory (SCPT), a socio-cultural psychological model that integrates semiotics with dynamic systems theory. According to the SCPT framework, students-generated drawings can be analysed in terms of generalised meanings, i.e., implicit assumptions about…

Rossi, Sabrina; Giordano, Enrica; Lanciano, Nicoletta – Physics Education, 2016
In this paper we present the "Sky on Earth" project funded in 2008 by the Italian Ministry of Instruction, Research and University, inside its annual public outreach education program. The project's goal was to realise a stable and open-access astronomical garden, where children, teachers and citizens could be engaged in investigations…

Ferretti, Federica; Bolondi, Giorgio – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In the frame of national Italian standardized assessments in mathematics, a didactic phenomenon has been observed concerning students' behaviour when answering an item: students are inclined towards not accepting an output which is not clearly recognizable with something distinct from the starting inputs. The observed effect seems to originate…

Fuchs, Hans U.; Corni, Federico; Pahl, Angelika – Education Sciences, 2021
We experience (perceive, act upon and react to, and conceptualize) dynamical processes in nature as agentive. Expressed differently, we experience events as resulting from activities and interactions of "Forces of Nature" (such as wind, light, heat, fluids, electricity, substances, and motion) that are conceived of as powerful agents…

Licciardello, Feliciana; Consoli, Simona; Cirelli, Giuseppe; Castillo, Carlos; Fernández-Ahumada, Elvira; Montejo-Gámez, Jesús; Taguas, Encarnación V. – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2021
This paper explains and analyses a virtual gamification experience developed by a teaching group from the University of Catania (Italy) and the University of Cordoba (Spain). A competition based on professional tasks about hydrological planning was implemented in two subjects on Hydrological Sciences. The teaching experience was designed to…

Galano, Silvia; Colantonio, Arturo; Leccia, Silvio; Marzoli, Irene; Puddu, Emanuella; Testa, Italo – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Astronomy Education Research.] Several decades of research have contributed to our understanding of students' reasoning about astronomical phenomena. Some authors have pointed out the difficulty in reading and interpreting images used in school textbooks as factors that may justify the persistence…
