Social predictors of inquiry learning climate in physics education
Understanding the social factors that shape the learning climate in physics education contexts that rely on inquiry-based approaches is increasingly vital. This study aimed to model and predict the most important social aspects, namely, Instructor Support, Peer Support, and Interpretation, that contribute to students' perceptions of the Inquiry Learning Climate (ILC). Three hundred twenty-two Indonesian high school students (aged 15–18) participa…
An Exploration of Physics Teachers’ Lesson Plans Within the Ibse Framework
Drawing from a broad and multifaceted stream of educational research and practice that has gradually emerged in recent decades within science education field, widely known as Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE), the current study aims to extend its boundaries within the special education field. In particular it aspires to investigate to what extent teachers foster IBSE characteristics and accommodate the specific learning characteristics of st…
Condensation and Precipitation of Water Vapor
Early Childhood Science Education, within a wide range of research topics, studies mental representations of children aged 3–8 years about natural phenomena. Recently, there has been a strong scientific interest in the way children construct precursor mental models. The current study attempts to address children’s mental representations of clouds, as well as condensation and the precipitation of water vapour. To fulfill this goal, a qualitative s…
An investigation on alternative ideas on thermal phenomena of pupils with and without learning difficulties
The Construction of Precursor Models in the Thinking of Young Children
The aim of the current study is to examine how preschool children overcome their difficulties regarding thermal expansion and contraction and construct in their minds a precursor model; that is, an entity compatible with school knowledge. Having investigated these difficulties through a pretest, a teaching intervention was implemented based on both the telling of a fairy tale and the carrying out of experimental activities. Finally, the changes i…
Mental Representations and Cognitive Schemata of Ninth Grade Students for the Refraction of Light
The current research study deals with students’ mental representations and cognitive schemata of light refraction. In the study, 213 ninth grade students participated who had taken basic Geometric Optics courses on refraction and Snell’s law. The students were given three tasks in which they were asked to predict and explain the phenomenon of refraction. The results showed that the vast majority of them articulated their responses based on repres…
Inscriptions in Science Teaching
This article attempts to highlight inscriptions, i.e., photographs, drawings, diagrams, or graphs as autonomous carriers of meaning that can illuminate the different dimensions of a scientific concept. In addition, the article examines the inherent potential of diverse types of inscriptions to be combined with each other creating conceptual sequences and thus, crafting a narrative for the formation of a concept. For the formation of conceptual se…
Preschool Children Science Mental Representations
The aim of the current study was to examine the way in which preschool children deal with the concept of sound. For this purpose, a study was carried out in the context of detecting and categorizing the mental representations among young children of sounds which propagate through space from source to the receiver. Specifically, 91 preschool children aged 5–6 years voluntarily participated in individual semi-structured interviews which were carrie…
A comparison study of alternative conceptions on impetus theory and projectile motion of adolescents with typical development and high functioning autism spectrum disorder
The aim of the present study is to explore on the alternative conceptions of impetus theory and projectile motion of students with high functioning autism spectrum disorders and compare them with those of typical development. For this purpose, an experimental investigation was conducted with 19 students with high-functioning autism (age range: 12–16 yrs) and 55 typically development students (age range: 12–16 yrs). The two study groups were equiv…
