For the Love of Water. Designing and Assessing a Sand Filter for Integral Sustainability Education
Science education, from an early age, plays a key role in promoting sustainability. Within this framework, water emerges as a valuable resource for studying fundamental scientific principles and fostering critical reflection on its sustainable use. This quasi‐experimental study involved 168 primary students (ages 9–11) from public schools in Extremadura, Spain, who participated in a hands‐on activity building a sand filter. To assess the impact o…
Analysis of Gender Issues in Computational Thinking Approach in Science and Mathematics Learning in Higher Education
In the contemporary era, Computational Thinking has emerged as a crucial skill for individuals to possess in order to thrive in the 21st century. In this context, there is a need to develop a methodology for cultivating these skills within a science and mathematics content education framework, particularly among pre-service teachers. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Educational Robotics on the development of Computational Thinking sk…
Impact of an Active Learning Methodology on Students’ Emotions and Self-Efficacy Beliefs towards the Learning of Chemical Reactions—The Case of Secondary Education Students
The main goal of this article was to analyse the impact of the implementation of an active methodology, namely inquiry-based learning, on the emotions experienced by students and their self-efficacy beliefs toward the curricular content in relation to chemical reactions. A sample of 56 students at the third level of compulsory secondary education (K-9) was considered. It was found that the use of an active methodology had on the one hand, a stati…
An Exploratory Study Interrelating Emotion, Self-Efficacy and Multiple Intelligence of Prospective Science Teachers
This research offers a descriptive and inferential analysis of the emotions toward the teaching of science felt by 144 second-year students of a Primary Education bachelor’s degree course, identifying their learning styles in accordance with the theory of Multiple Intelligences, studying their perception of self-efficacy concerning the different scientific contents they would need to teach, and establishing correlations between these variables. T…
Emotional performance on physics and chemistry learning
We studied the emotions experienced by students during the last two years of compulsory secondary education (15 and 16 years old) when learning physics and chemistry. The objective of this piece of research was to establish different relationship between emotions felt by students and variables like the didactic methodology or the kind of science they are learning. We have collected data from different subject blocks such as those related to matte…
Exploring Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) of Physics Teachers in a Colombian Secondary School
The purpose of this paper is to address the most significant contributions of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) involved in teaching physics. Most studies have observed the characterizations of PCK via specific content in the lower secondary and upper secondary curricula. Here, we present a number of studies that show evidence for the development of some PCK components, including those that present PCK as an articulating axis for physics teache…
Concepciones alternativas de alumnos de segundo y tercer ciclo de primaria, sobre el sistema Sol-Tierra-Luna
En este estudio se muestran las ideas sobre el sistema Sol-Tierra-Luna que presenta un grupo de alumnos de educación primaria (8-12 años). El instrumento utilizado para recolectar los datos ha sido un cuestionario con seis preguntas abiertas. El análisis cualitativo de las respuestas reveló que un alto porcentaje de los alumnos encuestados posee concepciones alternativas, alejadas de las científicamente correctas, respecto a la órbita terrestre, …
