Hadjilouca, R.; Papadouris, N.; Constantinou, C. P. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Developing upper secondary school students' understanding of the nature of science and technology are important priorities in educational systems worldwide. More research is needed to better understand the conditions under which teaching and learning of epistemological insights become possible, as well as the tools that are necessary…

Pun, Jack K. H.; Cheung, Kason Ka Ching – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Constructing knowledge through collaborative practical work is a complex process and involves the use of multiple modalities by group members. In practical work sessions, students often manipulate visual objects or textual materials but do not develop their scientific ideas. Purpose: This study illustrates (a) the challenges that…

Wommer, Fernanda Gabriela Bitencourt; Sepel, Lenira Maria Nunes; Loreto, Elgion Lucio Silva – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Gamification is the use of game design elements, such as rules of play, point scoring and competition, in a non-game context, in learning activities. We designed a game, based on the famous augmented reality game "Pokémon GO," called Insects GO in which players should capture images of real insects with their mobile phones.…

Laszcz, Martyna; Dalvi, Tejaswini – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Nanotechnology, a multidisciplinary field with increasing societal importance, demands for an increase in research abilities and capacities. Yet, nanoscience and nanotechnology (NST) are largely inaccessible to K-12 students. This situation demands efforts in research towards bringing NST learning into K-12 classrooms. Purpose: The…

Gumilar, Surya; Ismail, Ali – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Physics textbooks are a learning resource for students to acquire knowledge and information. The findings of previous studies on physics textbooks analysis have mostly focused on representations of gender, the nature of science, and scientific literacy. This study, therefore, extends the critical content analysis of physics textbooks…

El Masri, Yasmine H.; Erduran, Sibel; Ioannidou, Olga – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: The paper discusses how the design of summative assessments of practical science can be enhanced through the use of robust theoretical models that capture the diversity of scientific methods. The developments in assessment policy in England and the role of practical science in teaching and learning of science are reviewed. Purpose: The…

Kim, Sun Young; Hamdan Alghamdi, Amani K. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Understanding students' views of the nature of science (NOS) has become one of the most discussed topics of science education in Saudi Arabia. Insights therein could inform curricular inform, preservice, and inservice teacher education and the national discourse around science in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Purpose: This study…

Park, Byung-Yeol; Campbell, Todd; Kelly, Miriah; Gray, Ron; Arnold, Chester; Chadwick, Cary; Cisneros, Laura M.; Dickson, David; Moss, David M.; Rodriguez, Laura; Volin, John C.; Willig, Michael R. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: It is crucial to support students in better understanding water and sustainability issues because water plays a vital role in maintaining global ecosystems, including human life. A wide range of curricular and instructional supports like those embodied in model-based learning (MBL) are necessary for teachers to engage students in the…

Lin, Tzung-Jin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: The role of students' epistemic understanding of science in mediating their engagement in learning activities and tasks has been highlighted in the literature. Although researchers recognize epistemic knowledge of science as a multi-faceted framework, the so-called person-centered approach that aims to generate meaningful and distinct…

Alhadabi, Amal – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Research has shown that students in the United States have been developing negative perceptions of science as a field of study, which is associated with low science identity. The science identity can be influenced by a variety of personal demographic predictors, non-cognitive science-related variables (e.g. science self-efficacy and…

Bellová, Renata; Balážová, Mária; Tomcík, Peter – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: The importance of developing positive attitudes towards science and technology has been widely known, and it reflects a general interest and a strong need to define more explicitly what measures can be taken to improve student attitudes towards science. In Slovakia, in addition to a low interest in scientific jobs, there is another…

Wang, Tao; Ma, Yongjun; Ling, Yizhou; Wang, Jingying – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: STEM education, which features interdisplines and integration of disciplines, influences the reform of curriculum and teaching, and is reflected in Chinese science textbooks. Purpose: This study aims to analyse how STEM and its integration factors are presented in Chinese science textbooks. Sample: Three sets of high school science…

Soltani, Asghar; Bahador, Ali; Esmi, Keramat – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Students' perceptions of learning environment is known as the most frequent construct related to their learning outcomes. Students' motivation in learning science (i.e. personal mastery goals orientation, self-efficacy, and task-value) and self-regulation are among the outcome variables that are affected by their perceptions of science…

Hayden Godfrey; Sibel Erduran – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Argumentation, the justification of claims with reasons and/or evidence, has emerged as a significant goal in science education in recent years. Yet, there is limited understanding of secondary students' arguments and particularly their use of warrants in interdisciplinary contexts such as science and religious education. Furthermore,…

Ayyildiz, Yildizay; Tarhan, Leman; Gil, Aylin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Research on chemistry education has found that students have commonly some difficulties in understanding chemical changes. These difficulties in the learning process have negatively affected students' success. For this reason, it is very important to overcome students' learning difficulties with new materials that prevent the…
