Science Process Skills of Primary School Teachers
Science process skills (SPS) are a vital component of science education and a prerequisite for engaging in scientific inquiry in the classroom. This study aimed to examine the level of SPS among primary school teachers and to explore possible differences compared with physics teachers as subject specialists. Additionally, the study investigated whether differences in SPS exist among primary school teachers in relation to years of teaching experie…
Exploring Croatian In-Service Primary Teachers’ Professional Attitudes Toward Science Using the Dimensions of Attitude Toward Science (DAS)
Teachers holding positive professional attitudes towards science is a key prerequisite for high-quality teaching and consequently for the sustainability of ongoing science education reform, which is being implemented in Croatia for the first time. Therefore, this cross-sectional study examined the attitudes, views, and self-reported behaviour of primary school teachers in the context of science teaching. The sample included 950 teachers during th…
Between Tradition and Reform
This study investigated the professional attitudes of Croatian preservice primary school teachers towards science teaching and their epistemological views on science in the context of the ongoing educational reform. In a quantitative survey conducted at a Croatian university, teachers’ overall attitudes were assessed; it investigated whether participation in a science course influenced these attitudes, and the relationship between their attitudes…
Students’ Understanding of Microscopic Models of Electrical and Thermal Conductivity
Solid-state physics has important applications in the development of modern technologies. Although solid-state concepts, such as electric and thermal conductivity, are included in the curricula at all educational levels, even university students have many incorrect ideas about them. The incorrect ideas identified in previous studies are mainly related to macroscopic aspects of solid-state physics. With the aim of gaining a more comprehensive insi…
Causes of the Shortage of Physics Teachers in Croatia
Knowing the causes of the shortage of physics teachers in primary and secondary schools is necessary for the development of effective educational policies because the shortage of physics teachers is a global and persistent problem with negative consequences for the quality of education, but also for the survival of the physics profession as a whole. The aim of this study was to investigate, for the first time, the opinions of Croatian physics tea…
Who Teaches Physics in Croatian Elementary Schools
The shortage of physics teachers is a global and persistent problem, resulting in the employment of nonprofessionals who cannot teach physics in a student-centered, high-quality and effective manner. This situation has implications for the educational policies of governments, universities, and schools. The aim of this study is to identify whether there is a shortage of elementary school physics teachers in Croatia. This type of survey was conduct…
Students’ Understanding of Velocity-Time Graphs and the Sources of Conceptual Difficulties/Učeničko i studentsko razumijevanje grafova vremenske promjene brzine i izvori konceptualnih poteškoća
We investigated the students' ability to translate the velocity-time graph into a real physical situation and the possible sources of conceptual difficulties. The study involved the sample of n=324 high-school/university students, and physics teachers in Croatia. The students were presented the original non-traditional open-ended graph problem. Their written answers were classified and used to form a closed-ended prediction questionnaire for teac…
