The iceberg of science identity
Research on science identity has gained significant attention in recent years, focusing on how students’ personal and social factors influence their engagement in STEM fields. Traditional studies have often emphasised qualitative approaches, which prioritise individual experiences and identity formation in localised contexts. However, this focus has led to a gap in macro-sociological perspectives that consider structural inequalities and broader …
Secondary school students’ attitudes towards chemistry
This paper investigates the attitudes towards chemistry of male and female secondary school students from Germany and China to understand the role of collectivism and individualism in attitudes towards chemistry, comparing Germany, a relatively individualist country, with China which is rather collectivist. Literature suggests that the gender gap in attitudes towards science is larger in collectivist countries. Beyond that, the data base is insuf…
Investigating U.S. and German pre-service teachers’ beliefs regarding digital technology
Based on different educational policies around the world, pre-service teachers are expected to use digital technology in their future teaching in school. However, to do this successfully, they need knowledge, skills and appropriate beliefs regarding utilising digital technology in learning scenarios. Thus, this study explores pre-service teachers’ beliefs regarding current digital technologies in their learning and future teaching. 232 pre-servic…
Starting the Educational Reform from the Beginning
Changes in the educational system need strong support from and connection to teachers. For this, knowledge about teachers is needed. A key factor in changing the chemistry classroom reality are teachers—in-service and pre-service. Chemistry Education Research is a new domain in Croatia. Since the transfer of the data from various undertaken studies on teachers’ knowledge is not easy based on differences in educational systems, research in the Cro…
Exploring Pre-Service Chemistry Teachers’ Pedagogical Scientific Language Knowledge
Chemish, as the scientific language of chemistry, is essential for communicating in and understanding chemistry. At the same time, Chemish is one of the major difficulties in teaching and learning chemistry in the school context. Although in recent years the importance of language in general and scientific language in particular has been pointed out and much research has been carried out on these topics, less is known about (pre-service) chemistr…
Science Teachers’ Pedagogical Scientific Language Knowledge—A Systematic Review
Since students’ knowledge of scientific language can be one of the main difficulties when learning science, teachers must have adequate knowledge of scientific language as well as the teaching and learning of it. Currently, little is known about teachers’ practices and, thus, teachers’ knowledge of scientific language, in general, and the teaching and learning of it (Pedagogical Scientific Language Knowledge, PSLK) in particular. For this reason,…
University Students’ Readiness for Using Digital Media and Online Learning—Comparison between Germany and the USA
The year 2020 brought many changes to our everyday life but also our education system. Universities needed to change their teaching practices due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Words like “digital media”, “online teaching” and “online learning” were present in all of the discussions. The main issues here were the technical infrastructure of students and universities all over the world. However, to have good technical infrastructure does not mean that …
The Role of Gender and Culture in Vocational Orientation in Science
Females and people belonging to ethnic minorities tend to be underrepresented in science occupations. The goal of this paper was to investigate the needs of students of different gender and ethnicity in terms of vocational orientation in order to tailor future interventions to their needs. This paper finds that students of different gender and cultural background differ in their preferences in terms of vocational orientation in science. Two studi…
How the home environment shapes students’ perceptions of their abilities
Participation in science is unevenly distributed among secondary school students, depending on gender, social class, and ethnicity. In the present study, the influence of the home environment on students’ chemistry self-concept is investigated as a factor for explaining participation in science. For this, the sociological lens of chemistry capital is employed. A mixed methods study (N=48) was conducted using quantitative data about self-concept a…
