Kübra Özmen – Research in Science Education, 2024
While many university health science programs include physics courses to raise knowledge and understanding of physical science concepts, they are still far from addressing the needs of that science health profession. This study aimed to investigate the effect of an introductory physics course on first-year physiotherapy and rehabilitation (PR)…

Jiang, Shiyan; Huang, Xudong; Sung, Shannon H.; Xie, Charles – Research in Science Education, 2023
Learning analytics, referring to the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts in order to optimize learning and the environments in which it occurs, is proving to be a powerful approach for understanding and improving science learning. However, few studies focused on leveraging learning analytics…

Brakhage, Henriette; Gröschner, Alexander; Gläser-Zikuda, Michaela; Hagenauer, Gerda – Research in Science Education, 2023
Research indicates that students' interest in science decreases during their school years. To counteract this, a quasi-experimental instructional intervention was designed in which we addressed students' leisure interests to foster their (situational) interest in physics. Students in the intervention group got the opportunity to choose topics…

Kaliampos, George; Mavropoulou, Sofia; Kollias, Vasilis; Ravanis, Konstantinos; Vavougios, Denis – Research in Science Education, 2023
While research on the understanding of physics concepts in individuals with autism remains scarce, the ever-increasing number of these students in inclusive education nowadays makes their systematic education in all fields of learning necessary. For this purpose, an experimental investigation was conducted to compare 19 autistic adolescents with a…

Romero-Abrio, Ana; Hurtado-Bermúdez, Santiago – Research in Science Education, 2023
This work analyzes whether there is a cognitive bias between the ideal perception of the skills and the real performance in an introductory physics class, and additionally, whether predictions of students' performance are related to various motivational variables. We examined through a validated survey and network analysis the relationship between…

Whitcomb, Kyle M.; Maries, Alexandru; Singh, Chandralekha – Research in Science Education, 2023
The importance of science beliefs such as self-efficacy, interest, identity, sense of belonging, perceived recognition and effectiveness of peer interaction in science education has been increasingly recognized in recent years. Self-efficacy, interest, and identity can be considered students' internal beliefs, and sense of belonging, perceived…

Bernholt, Sascha; Härtig, Hendrik; Retelsdorf, Jan – Research in Science Education, 2023
The use of texts is an indispensable resource for students' learning, especially in science domains. While developing understanding of a specific topic usually is the main goal of reading expository texts, an important consideration is how to best measure whether this understanding has been reached. In this study, we aimed to analyze gains in…

Unsworth, Len; Herrington, Michele – Research in Science Education, 2023
The significance of the role of students' interpretation and creation of multiple forms of representation in science learning has long been established and advocated, but there is a paucity of research into the extent to which this emphasis in science education is reflected in high stakes final year high school science examinations. This study…

Danielsson, Anna T.; Johansson, Anders; Nyström, Anne-Sofie; Gonsalves, Allison J. – Research in Science Education, 2023
The purpose of this manuscript is to explore how students perceive that online practices have enabled their participation in university physics programmes. In order to conceptualise how students bridge their science participation across physical and online spaces, we make use of the learning ecology perspective. This perspective is complemented…

Jian-Xin, Yao; Yu-Xuan, Xiang; Tian, Luo; Chu-Fan, Deng; Yu-Ying, Guo; Fortus, David – Research in Science Education, 2023
Triggered by the pilot of the "Gao-Kao" reform, the avoidance of physics courses in senior high school has aroused the concern of society in China. The factors that influence the motivation to learn physics are an important research topic, especially for countries that have a disciplinary-based education tradition in secondary school.…

Kanyesigye, Stella Teddy; Uwamahoro, Jean; Kemeza, Imelda – Research in Science Education, 2023
This study aimed to assess the impact of problem-based learning (PBL) on students' achievement in mechanical waves among secondary schools in South Western Uganda. Four hundred and nineteen students (419) from 19 schools were involved in this study. A quasi-experimental research method was employed through Solomon's four-group design. Form six…

Abraham, Jessy; Barker, Katrina – Research in Science Education, 2023
In recent decades, several countries have made efforts to close the historic gender gap in physics through curricular reforms. Research indicates that while the acute underrepresentation of females in physics courses and related careers is linked to a number of interlaced social, contextual and motivational factors, the personal relevance of…

Kim, Hyojoon; Song, Jinwoong – Research in Science Education, 2023
Online learning overcomes space and time constraints; however, it presents challenges in teacher-learner interaction. This study explores the potential of feedback in online formative assessment (OFA) to enhance such interactions. This study identified different types of feedbacks and analyzed the characteristics of interactions between teachers,…

Baji, Fatima; Haeusler, Carole – Research in Science Education, 2022
In common with many other countries, the Iranian science curriculum does not introduce primary children to atoms and molecules but instead leaves the teaching of these concepts until high school. This paper challenges this practice and describes the changes in elementary Iranian children's understanding of atoms and molecules following a 10-h…

Yeo, Jennifer; Gilbert, John K. – Research in Science Education, 2022
This study focuses on the relationship between students' use of language resources and their conceptualisation of phenomena in producing scientific explanations in physics. The objectives are to find out if there is a general model that describe the meaning-making process, the extent that this model is applicable to various branches in physics.…
