Zhu, Yuanze; Tang, Aibin – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Understanding the nature of science (NOS) is an important goal of science education, and textbooks are a key factor in shaping students' conceptions of NOS. In this study, we analysed NOS represented in middle school chemistry textbooks in the Chinese mainland. The selected materials were three most commonly adopted textbook series, which were…

Parobek, Alexander P.; Chaffin, Patrick M.; Towns, Marcy H. – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
A widespread call has been made to develop and support more integrated approaches to STEM education. The first law of thermodynamics serves as a guiding principle for the crosscutting concept of energy and matter. A qualitative interview study was undertaken to support integrated approaches to STEM education by exploring how chemistry, physics,…

Wu, Min; Sun, Daner; Yang, Yuqin; Li, Mengxue; Sun, Jin – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
The impact of self-regulated learning (SRL) on students' performance in various subjects has been extensively studied. However, there has been limited research on how task-specific SRL skills and self-reported SRL skills affect students' learning outcomes in chemistry classes at senior secondary schools. To address this gap, we examined the…

Testa, Italo; Galano, Silvia; Tarallo, Oreste – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
In this longitudinal study, we investigate how demographic, cognitive and meta-cognitive variables affect students' success in chemistry and physics exams in two Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics undergraduate courses, biology and engineering. Independent variables include high school final examination performance, chemistry and physics…

Ochsen, Sabrina; Bernholt, Andrea; Grund, Simon; Bernholt, Sascha – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Students' interest is considered an important learning outcome, but it is also a relevant predictor for student learning, and future vocational choices. According to numerous studies, however, students' interest in STEM fields usually declines during the course of secondary education. From the perspective of science education, it is therefore…

Heinitz, Benjamin; Nehring, Andreas – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Evaluating and improving instructional quality is important in pre-service teacher education, given it is a crucial factor for students' learning gains. This process is complex and involves multiple classroom events with various interpretations. Criteria for instructional quality are rarely applied systematically in teacher education, leading to…

Fooladi, Erik C.; Tuomisto, Maiju; Haapaniemi, Janni – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Food, cooking, and eating are commonly used as contexts or legitimations to teach and communicate science. However, for teaching to have contextual credibility, the relationship between subject and context is a relevant area of study. The present contribution describes an analysis of curricula from three Nordic countries shedding light on…

Michailidi, Emily; Stavrou, Dimitris – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
This study focuses on post-induction mentoring as a vehicle for science teachers' training in implementing a nanotechnology teaching-learning sequence. Five mentors and 15 mentee-teachers participated in a 9-months long mentoring programme. Qualitative methods of analysis were used to examine the content of the mentoring conversations and the…

Borgerding, Lisa A.; Kaya, Fatma – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
This mixed methods study explores college biology students' perceptions of the utility of evolution knowledge. In Phase I, 14 college biology students from an upper-level Evolution course were interviewed about their evolution acceptance and perceptions of the utility of evolutionary knowledge. In Phase II, findings from Phase I were used to…

Testa, Italo; Costanzo, Giovanni; Crispino, Marianna; Galano, Silvia; Parlati, Alessio; Tarallo, Oreste; Tricò, Francesca; Scotti di Uccio, Umberto – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
In this study, we present a new instrument, the Participation and Engagement Scale (PES), for the evaluation of the students' involvement in STEM-oriented activities. The instrument was administered to about 1000 secondary school students who participated in the activities of the Italian "Piano Nazionale Lauree Scientifiche" in Biology,…

Deng, Jacky M.; Rahmani, Malek; Flynn, Alison B. – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Making decisions, reasoning, and constructing arguments with scientific evidence are essential skills for all members of society, especially in a world facing complex socioscientific issues such as climate change and pandemics. Argumentation is a complex linguistic practice but little is known about how students from diverse language backgrounds…

Feldman-Maggor, Yael; Tuvi-Arad, Inbal; Blonder, Ron – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Professional development courses help teachers integrate new content knowledge into the high-school curriculum. Designing practical online courses for this purpose is challenging, particularly in emerging fields such as nanotechnology. In this study, we evaluated such a course in three complementary dimensions: (1) knowledge, (2) the complexity of…

Balabanoff, Morgan; Kaur, Simreen; Barbera, Jack; Moon, Alena – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Across science disciplines, light is a common tool for measuring, characterizing, and catalysing molecules and molecular processes. Despite the ubiquity of light-based tools, little research has been done to investigate how students understand light and light-matter interactions (LMI). This topic is typically first introduced in first-year…
