Cheung, Kason Ka Ching; Winterbottom, Mark – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Photomicrographs are major biological representations which help students understand more about the structures of cells and tissues. Owing to their abstract nature, students often rely on representations in textbooks to develop their understanding of photomicrographs. Purpose: This study investigated how students with low, medium and…

Riordan, John-Paul; Hardman, Mark; Cumbers, David – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Dialogue between the teaching profession and researchers regarding pedagogical strategy is sometimes problematic. Pedagogy research may benefit from incorporating research methods that can investigate teachers' and pupils' interpretations. Purpose: This research expands the Pedagogy Analysis Framework (Riordan, 2020) by explaining in…
