Ubben, Malte S.; Bitzenbauer, Philipp – Education Sciences, 2022
A poorly elaborated learner's understanding of models has been reported to be one of the major sources for learning difficulties in the quantum domain. To be able to provide physics education in schools with evidence as to how this problem can be tackled, a deeper theoretical understanding of the structure of learners' mental models in quantum…

Becker, Lukas Bernhard; Welter, Virginia Deborah Elaine; Aschermann, Ellen; Großschedl, Jörg – Education Sciences, 2021
Concept Mapping (CM) is a learning strategy to organize and understand complex relationships, which are particularly characteristic of the natural science subjects. Previous research has already shown that constructing concept maps can promote students' meaningful learning in terms of deeper knowledge and its more flexible use. While researchers…

Podschuweit, Sören; Bernholt, Sascha – Education Sciences, 2020
Conceptual knowledge is a crucial tool for students to understand scientific phenomena. Knowledge about the structure and function of mental concepts potentially helps science educators to foster the acquisition of this tool. Specifically, the coherence of students' mental concepts is an intensely discussed issue within the related conceptual…

Czauderna, André; Budke, Alexandra – Education Sciences, 2020
This paper examines how digital strategy and management games that have been initially designed for entertainment can facilitate the practice of dynamic decision-making. Based on a comparative qualitative analysis of 17 games--organized into categories derived from a conceptual model of decision-making design--this article illustrates two ways in…

In Germany, 93% of young people between the ages of 10 and 18 play video games daily. Political geography, in particular popular geopolitics, have found that video games can help to establish and develop people's understanding of geopolitics. Consequently, this affects geography education, providing both challenges and opportunities for teaching.…

Hauck, David Johannes; Melle, Insa – Education Sciences, 2021
Collaboration is regarded as one of the core competences of the 21st century when it comes to complex problem solving. In response to high dropout rates among STEM students, we developed a digital-collaborative intervention on a difficult topic, MO theory, for first-year chemistry students. First, students work independently in a Digital Learning…
