Damayanti, Almira Eka; Kuswanto, Heru – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2021
This research aims to reveal the effectiveness of the use of an indigenous knowledge-based physics comic of Android-based marbles games on verbal representation and critical thinking abilities. It is a quasi-experiment applying the pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consists of two classes: the control and experimental…

Lee, Jiwon; Cha, Yu Wha; Jung, Yeon Su; Oh, Eun Ju; Moon, Ye Lin; Kim, Jung Bog – Physics Teacher, 2016
Melton demonstrated a surprising disappearance using total internal reflection. When he put a Florence flask filled with marbles into a water tank and looked straight down from directly above the flask, he was only able to see marbles above a certain water level. When he added more water into the tank above the top line of the marbles, all of the…

McKenzie, Peter – Curriculum Matters, 2019
The typical paraphernalia of protest was all present: witty signs, bullhorns, an enormous crowd. As the protestors charged onto the parliamentary forecourt, their slogans echoed off of the marble facade. But they had suddenly gone silent. Out of the crowd stepped four people, and they began to tell their stories. Relentless feelings of inadequacy,…

Pendrill, Ann-Marie – Physics Education, 2021
Take a selection of balls and marbles along to a nearby playground slide and let students investigate factors that may influence how balls accelerate down an inclined plane. Students can make hypotheses in small groups, plan investigations to test multiple possible explanations and draw conclusions about the importance of different variables. The…

Crimston, Jessica; Redshaw, Jonathan; Suddendorf, Thomas – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Previous research has suggested that infants are able to distinguish between possible and impossible events and make basic probabilistic inferences. However, much of this research has focused on children's intuitions about past events for which the outcome is already determined but unknown. Here, we investigated children's ability to use…

Tsui, Angeline Sin Mei; Atance, Cristina M. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Children's ability to save emerges during the preschool years, but little is known about the different forms saving takes (and whether these relate) and the mechanisms driving its development. Because research with adults suggests that different aspects of future orientation increase adults' propensity to save, we explored whether, in a sample of…

Park, Mimi; Lee, Eun-Jung – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
Equiprobability bias (EB) is one of the frequently observed misconceptions in probability education in K-12 and can be affected by a problem context. As future teachers, preservice teachers need to have a stable understanding of probability and to have the knowledge to identify EB in their students regardless of the problem context. However, there…

Esposito, Salvatore – Physics Education, 2018
We describe a hands-on accurate demonstrator for cosmic rays realized by six high school students. The main aim is to show the relevance and the functioning of the principal parts of a cosmic ray telescope (muon detector), with the help of two large sized wooden artefacts. The first one points out how cosmic rays can be tracked in a muon…

Coskun, Hasan – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2013
Problem Statement: By considering the innovations in the field of communication, the inter-relationship between cultures, and the developments in the world, the Ministry of Education has started to take measures for students to learn languages such as German, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, Arabic, etc., in educational institutions in…

Looijenga, Annemarie; Klapwijk, Remke; de Vries, Marc J. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2015
Iteration during the design process is an essential element. Engineers optimize their design by iteration. Research on iteration in Primary Design Education is however scarce; possibly teachers believe they do not have enough time for iteration in daily classroom practices. Spontaneous playing behavior of children indicates that iteration fits in…

Kowalczyk, Sheetal – Primary Science, 2017
In this article, Sheetal Kowalczyk, a science coordinator and specialist science teacher at Bromley High Junior School in Bromley, Kent, reflects upon her teaching experiences and the importance of research in supporting and developing her practice. Kowalczyk works for the Girl's Day School Trust (GDST), which embarked on a project in…

Muller, Catherine L.; Roberts, S.; Wilson, R. C.; Remedios, J. J.; Illingworth, S.; Graves, R.; Trent, T.; Henderson, J.; Wilkinson, J.; Wilkinson, M.; Desai, A. – Physics Education, 2013
As part of "The Blue Marble" project, the Universities of Leicester and
Nottingham, UK, have developed day-long, interdisciplinary, hands-on
workshops for primary schools to introduce space technology and the role
of the research scientist. The workshop activities introduce 5-11 year olds
to the role of the UK space industry, show the…

Frizlar, Torsten; Rink, Roland – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
We encounter ratios on a daily basis. They also play an important role as a basic construct of thinking in many areas of school mathematics. For example, a fraction can be interpreted as the ratio of a part to the respective whole. Many children appear to have difficulties with fractions and although the concept of ratios is crucial for this…

Nandwa, Odhiambo Marble; Wasike, Duncan Wekesa; Wanjala, Toili William – Journal of Education and Practice, 2015
Mathematics is a key subject which students cannot avoid if they have to lead a bright future. Despite the introduction and implementation of different teaching methods and strategies suggested by researchers the achievement of students in mathematics at school level has persistently been poor, hence the need to explore the influence of different…

Hodgson, Dan; Cloran, Peter; Johnson, Rory – Primary Science, 2017
Engineering Habits of Mind (EHoMs) were first introduced to a target group of Year 9 (age 14) students who the authors felt were disengaged with science, technology, and computing. These students were invited to take part in an engineering challenge with a school in Qatar. This involved making a bridge and rolling a marble over the bridge. The…
