Izci, Kemal; Siegel, Marcelle A. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2019
Assessing student learning to adapt instruction to support learning is an important skill all teachers need to develop. However, it is not an easy task for teachers and even more difficult for new teachers. The current study aims to explore an alternatively certified new chemistry teacher?s understanding and practices of classroom assessment to…

Bulunuz, Nermin – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2019
Formative assessment is a teaching method that helps to determine the prior knowledge of students, schedule the course plan accordingly, give it the final shape based on the feedback received from students, and encourage conceptual learning. The aim of this study is to introduce the "annotated student drawings" as one of the common…

Sadler, Troy D.; Foulk, Jaimie A.; Friedrichsen, Patricia J. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2017
Socio-scientific teaching and learning (SSI-TL) has been suggested as an effective approach for supporting meaningful learning in school contexts; however, limited tools exist to support the work of designing and implementing this approach. In this paper, we draw from a series of four design based research projects that have produced SSI…

Celik, Harun – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2016
In science teaching, metaphors are important tools for understanding meaningful learning and conceptual formation by the help of daily life language. This study aims to evaluate how the concepts of heat, temperature and energy are perceived by students in secondary school science classes and how the perceptions of these concepts vary in terms of…

Kiray, Seyit Ahmet – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2016
The purpose of this study is to reveal the pre-service science teachers' difficulties about the concept of atoms. The data was collected from two different sources: The Draw an Atom Test (DAAT) and face-to-face interviews. Draw an atom test (DAAT) were administered to the 142 science teacher candidates. To elaborate the results, the researcher…

Yildiz, Sevda Goktepe; Korpeoglu, Seda Goktepe – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2016
In recent years, WebQuests have received a great deal of attention and have been used effectively in teaching-learning process in various courses. In this study, a WebQuest that can be applicable in teaching topological concepts for undergraduate level students was prepared. A number of topological concepts, such as countability, infinity, and…

Metin, Duygu; Ertepinar, Hamide – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2016
The purposes of the present study are to elicit pre-service elementary science teachers' scientific and pseudoscientific beliefs about earthquake and to make inferences about their understandings of science. Although the subject of earthquake is not a pseudoscientific area, some pseudoscientific beliefs related to earthquake were used in this…

Killingsworth, Stephen S.; Clark, Douglas B.; Adams, Deanne M. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2015
Previous research has demonstrated the efficacy of two explanation-based approaches for increasing learning in educational games. The first involves asking students to explain their answers (self-explanation) and the second involves providing correct explanations (explanatory feedback). This study (1) compared self-explanation and explanatory…

Van Eaton, Grant; Clark, Douglas B.; Smith, Blaine E. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2015
Students playing digital learning games in the classroom rarely play alone, even in digital games that are ostensibly "single-player" games. This study explores the patterns of physics reasoning that emerge in face-to-face and online forum collaboration while students play a physics-focused educational game in their classroom. We…

Mehmetlioglu, Deniz; Ozdem, Yasemin – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2014
Researches carried out all around the world showed that students learn more effectively if they are able to make connections between subjects. This case reports based on an investigation of how mathematics concepts were connected to science concepts by a science teacher in an elementary science classroom, and on the science teacher's views about…
