Salimpour, Saeed; Tytler, Russell; Doig, Brian; Fitzgerald, Michael T.; Eriksson, Urban – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Cosmology concepts encompass complex spatial and temporal relations that are counterintuitive. Cosmology findings, because of their intrinsic interest, are often reported in the public domain with enthusiasm, and students come to cosmology with a range of conceptions some aligned and some at variance with the current science. This makes cosmology…

Ayalon, Michal; Watson, Anne; Lerman, Steve – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
Identifying and expressing relations between quantities is a key aspect of understanding and using functions. We are aiming to understand the development of functions understanding throughout school years in Israel. A survey instrument was developed with teachers and given to 20 high and average achieving students from each of years 7-11 and to 10…

Mintzes, Joel; Quinn, Heather J. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2007
Emerging from a human constructivist view of learning and a punctuated model of conceptual change, these studies explored differences in the structural complexity and content validity of knowledge about prehistoric life depicted in concept maps by learners ranging in age from approximately 10 to 20 years. Study 1 (cross-age) explored the…

Effect of Cooperative Learning Strategies on Students' Understanding of Concepts in Electrochemistry
Acar, Burcin; Tarhan, Leman – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2007
The present study was conducted to investigate the degree of effectiveness of cooperative learning instruction over a traditional approach on 11th grade students' understanding of electrochemistry. The study involved forty-one 11th grade students from two science classes with the same teacher. To determine students' misconceptions concerning…

von Aufschnaiter, Claudia – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2006
Research on conceptual change is still a powerful framework for empirical investigations on students' learning of science. During recent years, an increasing body of research has explored students' concepts prior and subsequent to instruction, leading to an extensive documentation of students' concepts including the difficulties and opportunities…
