Aysegül Derman; Figen Gunes; Ozcan Gulacar; Ingo Eilks – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
This study aims to determine the cognitive structures of students at different educational levels (8th grade and 12th grade) related to acid-base chemistry. The research was designed as a case study and structured in two stages. The first stage analyzed concepts related to acid-base chemistry and their direction and strength in students' knowledge…

Wang, Chia-Yu – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Teaching with analogies is an important pedagogy that helps learners construct abstract conceptions through reasoning with something familiar. Heat concepts were chosen for this study because they have an intangible nature and involve complex mechanisms that often challenge school-aged learners. Learning this kind of complex concept with analogies…

Lopez-Simo, Victor; Grimalt-Alvaro, Carme; Sanmarti, Neus – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
In this research, we have explored the possible differences in students' performance in grade nine chemistry exams that could have been influenced by a different instructional approach in grade eight. We compared two groups of students: one group had received a transmissive propaedeutic approach in grade eight (especially related to the memorising…

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…

Orosz, Gábor; Németh, Veronika; Kovács, Lajos; Somogyi, Zoltán; Korom, Erzsébet – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Guided inquiry-based learning has been shown to be a promising method for science education; however, despite its advantages it is rarely used in chemistry teaching in Hungary. One of the reasons for this is the lack of tried-and-tested inquiry-based teaching materials with detailed guides that teachers can readily use in their classrooms. As part…

Wan, Yanlan; Yao, Ruoqing; Li, Qi; Bi, Hualin – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Critical thinking, a rational and open higher-order thinking mode in human cognition, is becoming imperative to success in modern life. Therefore, cultivating students' critical thinking has become a common goal of education reform worldwide. Teachers play a crucial role in cultivating students' critical thinking. However, existing studies have…

Turkoguz, Suat; Ercan, Izel – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
This study investigated the effect of visual anthropomorphic stories on students' understanding of the particulate nature of matter and their level of anthropomorphic discourse. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design with pretest and posttest control groups. Science activities supported by visual anthropomorphic stories were…

Araújo, J. L.; Morais, C.; Paiva, J. C. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
The active participation of citizens in scientific research, through citizen science, has been proven successful. However, knowledge on the potential of citizen science within formal chemistry learning, at the conceptual and procedural levels, remains insufficiently explored. We developed a citizen science project -- PVC: Perceiving the Value of…

Huangfu, Qian; Li, Hong; Tang, Sanshan; Wang, Jianrong; Liu, Qian; Chen, Guojun – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Although the chemical literature contains many studies of multimedia-based learning and teacher enthusiasm, there is a paucity of research on whether and to what extent teacher enthusiasm in video lectures affects students' learning, especially in chemistry. In this context, this mixed-method study used eye tracking and quantitative analysis to…

Langbeheim, Elon; Ben-Eliyahu, Einat; Adadan, Emine; Akaygun, Sevil; Ramnarain, Umesh Dewnarain – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Learning progressions (LPs) are novel models for the development of assessments in science education, that often use a scale to categorize students' levels of reasoning. Pictorial representations are important in chemistry teaching and learning, and also in LPs, but the differences between pictorial and verbal items in chemistry LPs is unclear. In…

Zhang, Lina; Wang, Lei; Treagust, David F. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
Students' academic performance in chemistry can be the result of a number of cognitive and affective factors. This study explored the influence of the discipline-specific cognitive factors of knowledge structure, cognitive perspectives, and cognitive patterns on grade 9 students' chemistry performance. One instrument measured chemistry academic…

Özkanbas, Müge; Kirik, Özgecan Tastan – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL®) as a collaborative inquiry method has been widely used in teaching chemistry to high school and college students. This paper presents the impact of POGIL on 65 middle school students' understanding about nature of matter. It is a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design study in which…

Heeg, Julian; Hundertmark, Sarah; Schanze, Sascha – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
Teaching and learning chemistry or science, in general, could be described as building upon learners' existing conceptions. In order to support individual conceptual development, teachers should create opportunities for students to become aware of their thoughts. As this is very demanding in chemistry classroom practice with twenty-five or more…

Pekdag, Bülent – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
This study explores the effect of video-based instruction on the safety rules in the chemistry laboratory on student achievement. The sample for the study comprised 61 ninth grade students enrolled in two different classes at a public high school. The students in the class designated as the experimental group (N = 32) were given video-based…
