Xiaodong Huang; Chengche Qiao – Science & Education, 2024
Artificial intelligence is the unification of philosophy, cognitive science, mathematics, neurophysiology, psychology, computer science, information theory, cybernetics, and uncertainty theory. Therefore, it is feasible and necessary to utilize STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Liberal Arts, and Mathematics) education to learn artificial…

Roseleena Anantanukulwong; Surasak Chiangga; Pongprapan Pongsophon; Aik-Ling Tan – Science & Education, 2024
This article presents an empirical study of the use of Indigenous knowledge of the "Bulan" kite to teach the concept of "equilibrium" among Muslim students (n = 109 students) in private Islamic schools (in the southern part of Thailand). The design of the culturally responsive teaching comprising three lessons was guided by the…

Saeed Salimpour; Michael T. Fitzgerald – Science & Education, 2024
Modern astronomy as a field of inquiry may be shaped by what we consider the "scientific" ways of knowing. However, the history of astronomy as a human endeavour dates back millennia before the "modern" notions of "science". This long history means that astronomy is, at its core, built on a rich cultural diversity and…

Jean Bosco Bugingo; Lakhan Lal Yadav; Innocent Sebasaza Mugisha; K. K. Mashood – Science & Education, 2024
The paper aims to provide a review of literature that emphasizes students' and teachers' views on the nature of science (NOS) and associated instructional approaches to develop adequate understanding of the NOS that have been employed in different contexts. One hundred and seventy-two (172) studies were selected from ResearchGate, Academia, Google…

Jen-Yi Wu; Sibel Erduran – Science & Education, 2024
In this paper, we use the "Family Resemblance Approach" (FRA) as a framework to characterize how scientists view the nature of science (NOS). FRA presents NOS as a "system" that includes clusters or categories of ideas about the cognitive-epistemic and social-institutional aspects of science. For example, the…

Bøe, Maria Vetleseter; Viefers, Susanne – Science & Education, 2023
Teaching and learning of quantum physics at secondary level is an active field of research. One important challenge is finding ways to promote understanding of quantum concepts without the mathematical formalism that is embedded in quantum mechanics but unavailable on the secondary level. We investigated Norwegian secondary students' (N = 291)…

Cardinot, Douglas; Moura, Cristiano; Guerra, Andreia – Science & Education, 2023
Studies in the field of science education have discussed using historical approaches. Although previous studies have shown the potential advantages to addressing national sciences in the classroom in countries underrepresented in the history of science, there are still few initiatives in this direction. Thus, this paper aims to explore a…

de Carvalho Ferrasa, Ingrid Aline; Machado, Elaine Ferreira; Miquelin, Awdry Feisser; Mocellin, Ronei Clécio; Leal, Bruna Elise Sauer; Kuchla, Micheli; Oliveira, Luciane Kawa Reis; Coelho, Adriane Marie Salm – Science & Education, 2023
In this article, we present reflections on the possible dialogs between literary creation and science teaching. Our considerations will be directed to the work of Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, and the role of science and science education over the text that gave rise to the genre "science fiction." This work aims at presenting the…

Berntsen, Madelene Losvik; Vik, Camilla Berge; Lykknes, Annette – Science & Education, 2023
The French natural philosopher Henri Victor Regnault (1810-1878) was one of many researchers who contributed to the development of the thermometer in the 19th century. In this paper, we use an example from Regnault's work to explore how the history of thermometry can provide a context for teaching upper-secondary chemistry students about the…

Dagher, Zoubeida R.; Erduran, Sibel – Science & Education, 2023
Nine years after reconceptualizing the nature of science for science education using the family resemblance approach (FRA) (Erduran & Dagher, 2014a), the time is ripe for taking stock of what this approach has accomplished, and what future research it can facilitate. This reflective paper aims to accomplish three goals. The first addresses…

Park, Wonyong; Brock, Richard – Science & Education, 2023
The notion of family resemblance has recently emerged as a promising and fruitful approach to characterising the nature of science (NOS) in science education research, offering solutions to some perplexing challenges such as capturing both the domain-general and domain-specific features of science with a single framework. At the same time,…

Voss, Sarah; Kent-Schneider, Isaiah; Kruse, Jerrid; Daemicke, Ren – Science & Education, 2023
While much is known about teacher learning of nature of science (NOS) concepts, less is known about how teachers develop an understanding of how to effectively teach NOS or how instructional views might differ across levels of the Family Resemblance Approach (FRA) wheel. Therefore, this study investigated the NOS instructional views related to…

Demirel, Zeynep Merve; Sungur, Semra; Çakiroglu, Jale – Science & Education, 2023
The purpose of this study was twofold: first, to investigate science teachers' views about the nature of science (NOS); and second, to examine science teachers' views about their NOS integration into instruction. Reconceptualized family resemblance approach to nature of science (RFN) is used as a theoretical and analytical framework. The…

Winkelmann, Jan – Science & Education, 2023
Idealizations are omnipresent in science. However, to date, science education research has paid surprisingly little attention to the use of idealizations in fostering students' model competence and understanding of the nature of science (NOS). The starting point for the theoretical reflection in this paper is that insufficient consideration of…

Vázquez-Bernal, Bartolomé; Jiménez-Pérez, Roque – Science & Education, 2023
The objective of this work was the theoretical modeling of a construct based on teaching practice about the perception that pupils have of difficulties in problem solving (PS) in experimental sciences, specifically physics, to predict pupil performance in PS. The research was carried out with an incidental sample of second year of secondary…
