Ndiaye, Yakhoub; Hérold, Jean-François; Chatoney, Marjolaine – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: Many researchers have investigated student reasoning in Newtonian mechanics. In 1979 Viennot revealed that most students associate the concept of force with the velocity or acceleration of a motion. Forty years later, student understandings remain a major challenge for teachers. The implications of this challenge are still unclear,…

Dawes, Alexander J.; Wheeldon, Ruth – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: Currently there are international concerns over teacher recruitment and attrition rates, especially in mathematics and the physical sciences. Much has been written about the recruitment of student teachers and the reasons people give for going into teaching, but little on the broader context of these people's lives and the complex…

Broman, Karolina; Bernholt, Sascha; Christensson, Camilla – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: To make students more interested and engaged in science, new teaching approaches have been developed aiming at higher order thinking. Context-based learning approaches emanate from an idea that science content knowledge should be presented in a relevant context for students to improve their learning outcomes as well as making them more…

Dawson, Vaille; Venville, Grady – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: An overarching goal of school science education is to prepare young people for a rapidly changing and complex world. Middle school science students need more than a basic understanding of science concepts in preparation for further study. Rather, they need the skills to question and evaluate evidence and make decisions about complex…

Chiu, Mei-Shiu – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Aim and background: This study investigated the effects of information and communication technology (ICT) use patterns, moderated by socioeconomic status (SES), on science and mathematics achievements. This investigation aims to address the issue of whether ICT use has 'conditioned' (linear and quadratic) effects on achievements with SES as social…

Rinehart, Ronald W.; Kuhn, Mason; Milford, Todd M. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: A reformed view of science education positions argumentation as a central epistemic discourse practice in the science classroom, however, science education researchers have found that typical norms of classroom discourse fall short of promoting argumentation. Recent scholarship on teachers' personal epistemologies has suggested that…

Cansiz, Nurcan; Cansiz, Mustafa – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: One of the most important, albeit ignored, issues in the process of curriculum implementation is teachers' beliefs; indeed, this is a vital issue since their beliefs about teaching and learning will in part govern their actions in the classroom. There is a substantial body of the literature that highlights how teachers' beliefs are…

Aflalo, Ester; Raviv, Ayala – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: Discourse is the teacher's principal pedagogical tool in class. Studies stress the importance of research on discourse in science education and demonstrate its cruciality for understanding science. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics of the classroom discourse in lessons on physics. Sample: Classroom…

Ates, Özlem; Ates, Ali Murat; Aladag, Yasar – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: Numerous studies have been conducted to identify students' perceptions of science and scientists since the 1950s. Those studies have revealed that students have stereotypical perceptions, on which teachers may have a significant effect. It is, therefore, essential to determine both teachers' and students' perceptions. Purpose: The aim…

Rushton, Elizabeth A. C.; Charters, Lauren; Reiss, Michael J. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: A diverse range of opportunities for high school students to undertake Independent Research Projects (IRPs) in science and this is a beneficial aspect of high school science provision. In Higher Education, the importance of students undertaking research as part of their learning, including presenting at authentic, academic conferences,…

Baroudi, Sandra; Rodjan Helder, Marlieke – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: Implementing Inquiry-Based Instruction (IBI) in science is a complex process demanding certain classroom conditions prepared with instructional materials to engage students in tasks, as well as adopting the social context that will shape the inquiry-based learning environment. Within this social context, teachers are the main agents…

Jimenez-Liso, Maria Rut; Martinez-Chico, María; Avraamidou, Lucy; López-Gay Lucio-Villegas, Rafael – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: In response to reform recommendations calling for students' engagement in scientific practices and the lack of the enactment of such practices in science classrooms, we explored the implementation of scientific practices with special emphasis on model-based inquiry in a secondary science teacher preparation program. Sample: The…

Walan, Susanne – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: There is a shortage of people in the STEM sector, and it has been argued that more needs to be done, especially to attract girls. Furthermore, there is a need to develop twenty-first-century skills. No studies seem to have explored the combination of activities in makerspaces and the use of drama to stimulate interest in STEM and…
