The teaching of physics at upper secondary school level
This study aims to investigate the teaching approaches taken by physics teachers in Indonesia and Ireland when teaching a module on Medical Physics in the classroom. Additionally, students’ attitudes to the module on Medical Physics were also explored. In particular, the views of these teachers toward inquiry based science education (IBSE) and direct instruction (DI) when implementing this module with students in the 14–16 age group were examined…
Children's Conversations Reveal In-Depth Learning at the Zoo
Learning in the zoo is a complex process with many influences affecting outcomes, which traditional methods of evaluation may not consider. This study used conversational content analysis, an innovative and under-used technique, to investigate children’s learning in the zoo setting during an educational experience. The children’s conversations were observed at Fota Wildlife Park and Dingle Aquarium in Ireland at three different animal exhibits (1…
An educational intervention maximizes children’s learning during a zoo or aquarium visit
Children comprise many of the visitors to zoos every year, yet few studies have explored the impact of a zoo visit on children’s learning. This study employed a repeated measure design using data gathered from 500 questionnaires to investigate students’ knowledge, attitude, and behavior before and after visiting a zoo or aquarium in Ireland. A treatment group participated in a purposefully developed educational intervention, which included a hand…

There is increasing evidence that zoos and aquariums do, as intended, educate their visitors. However, even though most zoos offer a wide array of educational experiences, few studies have considered if the duration of an educational experience affects learning or whether learning lasts beyond the immediate visit. The current study used matched-pairs surveys to investigate children's knowledge, attitude and knowledge of positive behavior during b…
