Goulder, Raymond; Scott, Graham W.; Scott, Lisa J. – International Journal of Science Education, 2013
It is widely held among biology teachers that fieldwork is valuable, but little is heard about students' perception of fieldwork or about the reasons for their liking or disliking fieldwork. This paper uses data from students to explore the hypotheses (1) that biology students with a positive perception of fieldwork have a less positive perception…

Quinnell, Rosanne; May, Elizabeth; Peat, Mary – International Journal of Science Education, 2012
We surveyed first year students at the start and at the end of their first semester of university biology (n = 285) as to their approaches to study ("surface", "deep") and their conceptions of biology ("fragmented", "cohesive"). Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to group students who responded similarly…

Christian, Karen; Talanquer, Vicente – International Journal of Science Education, 2012
The central goal of the present exploratory study was to investigate the nature of the content-related interactions in study groups independently organized by college organic chemistry students. We were particularly interested in the identification of the different factors that affected the emergence of opportunities for students to co-construct…

Fleming, Reg – International Journal of Science Education, 1988
Examines Canadian undergraduate science students' views of the nature of the relationship between science, technology, and society. Reports that the science students' views are similar to those of high school graduates, and that scientific facts are the central concern when dealing with the nature of science. (Author/YP)

Labudde, Peter; And Others – International Journal of Science Education, 1988
Examined the effects of an instructional method used to remedy students' difficulties caused by fragmented and incorrectly interpreted knowledge. Described the method using explicit concept-interpretation procedures. Finds that the method helped to revise students' deficient prior knowledge about acceleration, and helped them to interpret it…

Bar-Haim, Gabriel – International Journal of Science Education, 1988
Suggests that the overall educational experience of science aspirants has an indirect and latent role in preparing future types of researchers. Discusses arguments concerning the relationship between cognitive inclinations and educational experience, and how problem-solver and problem-identifier type students respond to educational dilemmas. (YP)

Cros, Daniele; And Others – International Journal of Science Education, 1988
Examined the evolution of the knowledge and the notions of students in order to see how after one year of university study their concepts and ideas of scientific theory in chemistry had progressed. Reports that sometimes the students' conceptions are modified in the wrong way. (Author/YP)

Seddon, G. M.; Pedrosa, M. A. – International Journal of Science Education, 1988
Examined whether and how the quality of students' explanations of chemical phenomena was affected by changing the method of giving the question and answer between the spoken and written formats. Concluded that there was no difference between the performance of students using any of these combinations of formats. (Author/YP)
