This book includes studies that represent the state of the art in science education research and convey a sense of the variation in educational traditions around the world. The papers are organized into six main sections: science teaching processes, conceptual understanding, reasoning strategies, early years science education, and affective and social aspects of science teaching and learning. The volume features 18 papers, selected from the most outstanding papers presented during the 10th European Science Education Research Association (ESERA) Conference, held in Nicosia, Cyprus, in September 2013. The theme of the conference was “Science Education Research for Evidence-based Teaching and...
This book is about promising research advancements that sparked directly or indirectly from intellectual contributions by distinguished internationally recognized mathematics educator and researcher, Edward A. Silver. The features of this book include: A focus on the research areas that have benefited from Dr. Silver’s intellectual contributions and influence, such as designing instructional tasks, problem posing, problem solving, preservice teacher learning, in service teacher professional development, and mathematics assessment Chapters written by contributors who at one time were his doctoral or post-doctoral colleagues along with any invited co-authors A brief bio of Dr. Silver showing his intellectual journey, key milestones in his career, and scholarly accomplishments that sparked from his intellectual contributions
This volume presents current thoughts, research, and findings that were presented at a summit focusing on energy as a cross-cutting concept in education, involving scientists, science education researchers and science educators from across the world. The chapters cover four key questions: what should students know about energy, what can we learn from research on teaching and learning about energy, what are the challenges we are currently facing in teaching students this knowledge, and what needs be done to meet these challenges in the future? Energy is one of the most important ideas in all of science and it is useful for predicting and explaining phenomena within every scientific discipline...
This book addresses a very important aspect of science education and science education research respectively: The research-based development of Teaching Learning Sequences. The authors elaborate on important theoretical issues as well as aspects of the design and iterative evolution of a several Teaching Learning Sequences in a modern scientific and technological field which is socially relevant and educationally significant. The book is divided into two parts. The first part includes a collection of papers discussing the theoretical foundations and characteristics of selected theoretical frameworks related to designing Teaching Learning Sequences, elaborate on common issues and draw on the ...
This book features 35 of best papers from the 9th European Science Education Research Association Conference, ESERA 2011, held in Lyon, France, September 5th-9th 2011. The ESERA international conference featured some 1,200 participants from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe as well as North and South America offering insight into the field at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. This book presents studies that represent the current orientations of research in science education and includes studies in different educational traditions from around the world. It is organized into six parts around the three poles (content, students, teachers) and their interrelations of science education: after a general presentation of the volume (first part), the second part concerns SSI (Socio-Scientific Issues) dealing with new types of content, the third the teachers, the fourth the students, the fifth the relationships between teaching and learning, and the sixth the teaching resources and the curricula.
Obwohl in Schulbüchern und Fachzeitschriften mehrere Ansätze veröffentlicht sind, um die Themen Treibhauseffekt, saurer Regen und stratosphärischer Ozonabbau zu unterrichten, belegen Studien der letzten Jahre, dass das Verständnis Lernender zu den drei Phänomenen zahlreiche wissenschaftlich nicht belastbare Vorstellungen aufweist. Dabei sind Lernenden oft sogar die grundlegenden Prinzipien der Vorgänge in der Atmosphäre nicht bekannt. Im Rahmen des Dortmunder Kollegs zur Fachdidaktischen Entwicklungsforschung befasst sich die vorliegende Arbeit mit der diagnosegeleiteten Entwicklung und Erprobung von digital gestütztem Lehr-Lernmaterial zur Förderung der Fachwissenskompetenz zu den...
"Eine Banane hat mehr Energie als Schokolade, weil eine Banane gesund ist." "Ein Fluss hat Energie, weil ersich bewegt" vs. "ein Fluss hat keine Energie, weil er tot ist". Dies sind nur einige der spannenden Aussagen, die Kinder zu Energie in Bezug auf verschiedene Bilder geäußert haben. Ihre Erklärungen gründen sich auf Alltagserfahrungen und sind in sich sehr logisch. Allerdings entsprechen sie nicht immer der fachlichen Sicht. Dies liegt daran, dass Energie zwar allgegenwärtig, aber in seiner Gesamtheit schwierig zu erfassen ist. Da Energie eines der wichtigsten Themen für die Zukunft ist, sollten Grundlagen bereits in der Grundschule gelegt werden. Dafür ist es notwendig, die Vors...
Die BeitragsautorInnen geben mit theoretisch-konzeptionellen, historischen und empirischen Arbeiten einen Einblick in die Vielfalt der Themen, Zugänge und Perspektiven, wie sie für die gegenwärtige grundschulpädagogische und grundschuldidaktische Forschung kennzeichnend ist. Ausgewählte Praxis- und Materialbeiträge ergänzen das Bild einer facettenreichen und sich zunehmend ausdifferenzierenden Disziplin mit ihren fachspezifischen Implikationen. Der Band 2 dokumentiert Ergebnisse der 23. Jahrestagung der Kommission Grundschulforschung und Pädagogik der Primarstufe in Leipzig aus dem Bereich der freien Tagungsbeiträge.
