Direct linkGeorgiou, Helen – Research in Science Education, 2023
There has been a strong narrative in Australia of falling attainment in high school science, with much of the campaign informed by results from international standardised tests such as Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which shows a year-on-year decline in scientific literacy of Australian 15-year-old students. These results…

Xie, Yong; Zheng, Yonghe; Yang, Yang – Research in Science Education, 2023
This study aims to examine the moderating effect of participation in informal science activities on the associations among students' awareness of environmental issues and their attitudes toward science and epistemological beliefs. The data set included 9841 15-year-old students from four Chinese provinces (Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and…

Li, Siqi; Liu, Xiufeng; Yang, Yang; Tripp, Jennifer – Research in Science Education, 2022
Science classroom learning environment (CLE) and science teacher professional development (PD) are two important factors in students' science learning. However, the nature of the science CLE and school-level PD that promotes students' science achievement remains unclear. Using the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015 data, this…

Kang, Jingoo – Research in Science Education, 2022
Recent international comparison studies such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) repeatedly argued that inquiry-based learning (IBL) indicated a negative effect on science literacy (SL). However, those studies included two limitations in revealing the relationship between IBL and SL as they did not consider (1)…

Lau, Kwok-Chi; Ho, Sui-Chu Esther – Research in Science Education, 2022
This study analyzes how students' reported teaching practices of their teachers and their attitudes towards science are related to the science achievements of four high-performing countries/economies in PISA 2015: Hong Kong, China, Canada, and Finland. A study of these regions can shed light on the commonalities of and differences between the…

Chen, Jiangping; Zhang, Yang; Wei, Yueer; Hu, Jie – Research in Science Education, 2021
Science excellence is associated not only with a student's inherent aptitude but also a range of contextual factors. The objective of this paper was to identify the most important contextual characteristics of top performers in scientific literacy, by simultaneously considering factors at the PISA questionnaire-based student, family, and school…

Oliver, Mary; McConney, Andrew; Woods-McConney, Amanda – Research in Science Education, 2021
This study is a comparative analysis of 15-year-old students' scientific literacy, and its association with the instructional strategies that students experience, across six OECD countries that participated in PISA 2015. Across the six countries, the study investigates the efficacy of inquiry-based instruction in science in contrast with two other…

Cairns, Dean; Areepattamannil, Shaljan – Research in Science Education, 2019
This study, drawing on data from the third cycle of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and employing three-level hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) as an analytic strategy, examined the relations of inquiry-based science teaching to science achievement and dispositions toward science among 170,474 15-year-old students from…

Kang, Jingoo; Keinonen, Tuula – Research in Science Education, 2018
Since students have lost their interest in school science, several student-centered approaches, such as using topics that are relevant for students, inquiry-based learning, and discussion-based learning have been implemented to attract pupils into science. However, the effect of these approaches was usually measured in small-scale research, and…
