Drawing the forest
The aim of this study was to examine how field trips, compared to conventional classroom instruction, influence children’s scientific understanding of forest ecosystems—specifically, the complexity and richness of children’s mental representations in drawings. Field trips can enhance scientific meaning-making by actively engaging students, incorporating sensory experiences and enabling embodied cognition. The study involved 175 children from eigh…
Design principles for integrating science practices with conceptual understanding
We aim to illustrate the use of generic design principles to attain the integrated promotion of conceptual understanding and science competences in online enquiry-oriented learning environments. Engaging students in the development of competences related to science practices in unison with nurturing rigorous understanding of the mechanisms underpinning phenomena is thought to be valuable both for making science education more relevant to students…
Would a career in science suit me? Students’ self-views in relation to science and STEM career aspirations
Educational reform efforts and contemporary research have consistently called for enhancing young people’s interest in STEM study and career choices. In response to this challenge, we utilise and extend Social Cognitive Career Theory to examine the development of secondary school students’ self-views in relation to science and STEM career aspirations over a period of 5 years. Data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews at ei…
Enhancing students’ interest in science and understandings of STEM careers
Theoretically framed within Social Cognitive Career Theory emphasising on the construct of situational interest, this study explores the impact of career-based scenarios, as an instructional approach, on students’ interest in science and understandings of STEM careers. This case study involved 16 students aged 13–15 years old, who participated in a classroom intervention consisting of five sessions in a period of two years. Data were collected th…
Epistemic beliefs and prior knowledge as predictors of the construction of different types of arguments on socioscientific issues
This study investigates whether university students’ epistemic beliefs and prior knowledge about controversial socioscientific issues (SSIs) can predict the different types of arguments that students construct. Two hundred forty‐three university students were asked to construct different types of supportive arguments—social, ethical, economic, scientific, ecological—as well as counterarguments and rebuttals after they had read a scenario on a SSI…
Reasons That Could Lead People to Divorce in an Evolutionary Perspective
In the current research, we aimed to identify the reasons that could drive people to get a divorce. In Study 1, we employed qualitative research methods, and we identified 62 reasons that could potentially drive people to get a divorce. Using quantitative research methods, in Study 2 we classified these reasons into 7 broader factors. We found that being a harmful spouse was the most important factor for divorce, followed by incompatibility and i…
TV Series in Turkish Foreign Policy
This article examines the ways in which (pop or) popular culture may fall within the context of foreign policy. More specifically, it situates our analysis against such backdrop by delving into how Turkey effectively exports pop culture, propaganda and positive images of itself via the use of television (TV) shows. To that end, notable Turkish soap operas market its ancient glorious past. Admittedly, these telenovelas form a salient cultural prod…
The integration of biodiversity education in the initial education of primary school teachers
In this article, we present results from an international research study on biodiversity education in pre‐service education of primary school teachers. The study was carried out between 2004–2006 in four teacher education institutions in Cyprus, England, Switzerland and Germany. We used document analyses and in‐depth interviews with 27 teacher educators and 22 student teachers to examine the integration of biodiversity into the pre‐service teache…
Development of decision‐making skills and environmental concern through computer‐based, scaffolded learning activities
This article focuses on the development of decision‐making skills and environmental concern by 11‐ and 12‐year‐old students through computer‐based, scaffolded learning activities. The enacted activities provided necessary scientific information and allowed for the consideration of multiple aspects of the problem, the study of the effects of every possible solution and the formulation and balancing of criteria. The optimization strategy for decisi…
