Designing a Teaching–Learning Sequence to Cultivate Plant Awareness Through Transformative Learning
Plant awareness, which refers to the ability to notice, value, and understand the importance of plants, has emerged as a significant research field, particularly considering the growing concerns about sustainability and biodiversity loss. Acknowledging the crucial role of plants in sustaining life on Earth and human well-being, several studies highlight the need for educational interventions that can meaningfully enhance plant awareness. In this …
A Long-Term Study on the Effect of a Professional Development Program on Science Teachers’ Inquiry
In this study we explore the effect of a professional development (PD) program on four science teachers’ views and practices nearly a year after its completion, regarding inquiry implementation in everyday school practice. The PD program aimed to familiarize participants with current trends in science education (SE), putting emphasis on the inquiry approach. The basic research question guiding this study is whether science teachers’ inquiry pract…
Evolution in European and Israeli school curricula – a comparative analysis
The contribution of school curricula to public understanding and acceptance of evolution is still mostly unknown, due to the scarcity of studies that compare the learning goals present in different curricula. To overcome this lack of data we analysed 19 school curricula (18 European and one from Israel) to study the differences regarding the inclusion of learning goals targeting evolution understanding. We performed a quantitative content analysi…
Children’s Views of Sars-CoV-2 and Covid-19 Preventive Practices
Despite the growing body of research on the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on children’s wellbeing, few studies so far have explored children’s points of view, while the majority were based on data collected during the first year of the pandemic. The present study attempted to capture children’s views 1 year after the beginning of the pandemic, and to this end, data were collected during Spring 2021 in Greece. Specifically, by combining ve…
Study of Kindergarten Teachers’ Intentions to Choose Content and Teaching Method for Teaching Science
In this paper, we investigate the intentions of kindergarten teachers to use the content and to apply the teaching methods that they acquired in a one-day teacher training seminar. According to the theory of planned behavior, the answer to this research question is directly related to a series of social-psychological personal criteria assessments, such as an assessment of the personal gains or losses, the opinions of important third persons, the …
A teaching learning sequence on nanoscience and nanotechnology content at primary school level
It is widely argued that Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NST) is going to affect several aspects of our life. Therefore, students need to develop their nanoliteracy to cope with the everyday issues related to NST. Although there is an increasing interest in introducing NST content to primary school students, the theoretical frameworks for interpreting their learning are still an open issue. Τo fill this research gap, this paper presents a Teachin…
Children’s conceptions of coronavirus
The present study aimed to examine children’s conceptions of coronavirus as denoted in their verbal descriptions and drawings and whether these vary as a function of children’s age and the mode of expression. Data were collected in Greece during spring 2020 and 344 children aged 4 to 10 years were first asked to verbally describe coronavirus and then to produce a drawing of it. Content analysis of data revealed the following main themes: (a) Coro…
Palaeoenvionmental inferences on the Pleistocene deposits of the Charadros River (Rio graben, Western Corinth Gulf, Greece)
Plant blindness
Plant blindness is an important phenomenon with a growing body of literature. According to researchers, the educational system is listed both among the causes and solutions to this issue. Therefore, previous work regarding this matter has mainly focused on the educational context. While sustainable development is a top priority for every modern society, it has not yet been established whether plant blindness can be a substantive impediment toward…
Greek primary school children’s representations of the urban environment as seen through their drawings
In the present study, we explore aspects of Greek primary school children’s representations about the urban environment through the use of drawings and their relation to sustainability. For that purpose, 104 children, aged 9–12 (4th and 6th grades), were asked to make two drawings of their town: one as it is now and another as they would like it to be. Drawings were analysed using pre-defined categories of urban sustainability and were statistica…
Relationship between Acceptance and Understanding of the Evolution Theory by Various Groups of Teachers / Odnos između prihvaćanja i razumijevanja teorije evolucije različitih skupina nastavnika
In this paper a comparison is made among various groups of Serbian teachers (kindergarten teachers, primary school teachers, biologists, physicists, chemists) in terms of the following factors: acceptance and the understanding of evolution theory. In order to accomplish the tasks of this paper, the specific questionnaire model with parallel groups of teachers was applied (involving 341 teachers). The aim was to identify and measure differences in…
