Direct linkPun, 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…

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…

van Dulmen, Tim H. H.; Visser, Talitha C.; Pepin, Birgit; McKenney, Susan – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Although cutting-edge chemistry research can be an interesting and motivating context for students in pre-university education, few characteristics of supportive and effective learning materials based on such contexts are available. Purpose: In this study we investigated the design, implementation, and evaluation of context-based…

Engeness, Irina – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2020
The study provides an insight into how teachers may facilitate students' group learning in science with digital technology, which was examined when Norwegian lower secondary school students engaged in learning concepts of mitosis and meiosis. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the teacher's assistance draw on Galperin's conceptualisation of…

Chua, Jia Xun; Tan, Aik-Ling; Ramnarain, Umesh – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2019
Background: Nature of Science (NOS) is defined to be the epistemology of science, and comprised of distinctive defining aspects. The representation of these NOS aspects in school science textbooks is likely to affect how students understand NOS. Representation of NOS aspects can differ between topics even within the same textbook and these topical…
