Kingir, Sevgi; Gok, Bilge; Bozkir, Ahmet Selman – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Educational data mining is a developing research trend for exploring hidden patterns and natural associations among a set of student, teacher or school related variables. Discovering profiles of preservice science teachers using data mining methods would give important information about quality of teacher education programs and future science…

Wild, Andrew – International Journal of Science Education, 2015
Considerable attention has been devoted to factors affecting the persistence of women and historically underrepresented ethnic groups in their science education trajectories. The literature has focused more on structural factors that affect longitudinal outcomes rather than classroom experiences. This exploratory survey study described…

McCauley, Veronica; Martins Gomes, Diogo; Davison, Kevin G. – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2018
Informal opportunities for young people to engage with science have increased in response to declining uptake in science and a shortage of science graduates. This paper is set in the context of the recent introduction of science at primary level in Ireland and the existence of a great number of science outreach programmes, in particular from…

Moustafa, Asely; Ben-Zvi-Assaraf, Orit; Eshach, Haim – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
The purpose of this study is to examine the manner in which the features of a constructivist learning environment, and the mechanisms at its base, are expressed in junior high school students' conceptions. Our research is based on an integration of quantitative and qualitative approaches, deigned to provide a wider ranging and deeper…

Singh, Abha; Yager, Stuart O.; Yutakom, Naruemon; Yager, Robert E.; Ali, Mohmaed Moustafa – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2012
There has been a wealth of research examining learning environments as one of the variables that contributes to academic success for students studying science. A constructivist learning environment has been explored as one way to assist students in achieving greater success with science learning. There is a lack of research concerning how and if…

Cetin-Dindar, Ayla – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between constructivist learning environment and students'motivation to learn science by testing whether students' self-efficacy in learning science, intrinsically and extrinsically motivated science learning increase and students' anxiety about science assessment decreases when more…

Kingir, Sevgi; Tas, Yasemin; Gok, Gulsum; Vural, Semra Sungur – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2013
Background: There are attempts to integrate learning environment research with motivation and self-regulation research that considers social context influences an individual's motivation, self-regulation and, in turn, academic performance. Purpose: This study explored the relationships among constructivist learning environment perception variables…

Tatar, Erdal; Oktay, Munir – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2011
Background: Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching approach working in cooperation with self-learning and involving research to solve real problems. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but that energy is conserved. Students had difficulty learning or misconceptions about this law. This study…

Thao-Do, Thi Phuong; Bac-Ly, Dang Thi; Yuenyong, Chokchai – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
Constructivism was introduced to Vietnam through many ways such as workshops, books, the Internet, and so on. However, due to the lack of professional education, fundamental ideas of constructivist learning perhaps were missing or neglected through classroom activities. Furthermore, due to the influence of culture and society, Vietnamese…

Saylan, Asli; Armagan, Fulya Öner; Bektas, Oktay – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
The present study investigated the relationship between pre-service science teachers' epistemological beliefs and perceptions of a constructivist learning environment. The Turkish version of Constructivist Learning Environment Survey and Schommer's Epistemological Belief Questionnaire were administered to 531 pre-service science teachers attending…

Yilmaz-Tuzun, Ozgul; Topcu, Mustafa Sami – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2010
The research questions addressed in this study were: what types of epistemological beliefs do elementary students have; what types of metacognition do elementary students have; and what are the relationships among students' perceived characteristics of constructivist learning environment, metacognition, and epistemological beliefs. A total of 626…

Cannon, John R. – Journal of Elementary Science Education, 1995
Reports on a study undertaken to validate the practicality of using the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (Perceived Form) (CLES) in a preservice elementary science methods course. Suggestions are made to potentially revise the CLES for more accurate measures in college classrooms. (LZ)
