Science Education and Pedagogy

ABSTRACT Previous studies have shown relations between the emergence of theory of mind capacities and children's scientific reasoning in Western samples. Previous studies have also shown that Turkish preschoolers have a different trajectory for theory of mind development than their Western counterparts. This study ext…

Abstract Since discipline-specific concepts are embedded in discipline-specific discourse, mastery of the latter becomes foundational to understanding and successfully communicating the former. While subject teachers are adept at evaluating and developing students’ concept-comprehension, they rarely gauge whether lear…

Abstract In this study, we investigated the role of mathematics in the construction of quantum physics knowledge through problem-solving with peers. In an undergraduate-level quantum theory course, 36 quantum physics problems covering different topics were given to students in four test sessions throughout the semeste…

Abstract This study investigated students’ peer discussions on quantum physics questions administered via an electronic response system. Participants in an undergraduate-level quantum physics course for science teacher candidates and a modern physics course for physics and physics teacher education students answered 5…

This paper presents Student Uncertainty as a Pedagogical Resource (SUPeR), a literacy-based framework that integrates reading, writing, and discussion to help students navigate uncertainty as part of scientific inquiry. Grounded in disciplinary literacy, SUPeR treats uncertainty as both the object and the tool of lite…

This study examines the algebraic reasoning of five fourth-grade students during their transition from understanding equality to solving equations in an early algebra instructional process that used multiple representations. Designed as a qualitative teaching experiment, the study was conducted over five weeks. The in…

The development of science teacher candidates’ intentions to teach STEM is of great importance in terms of equipping teachers with an interdisciplinary approach required by contemporary education, enabling them to provide students with creativity, problem-solving and collaboration skills needed in the 21st century. In…

This classroom-based action research study examines how creative writing activities can be used to reveal middle school students' understanding of climate types in the Social Studies course. Grounded in writing-to-learn and process-oriented writing perspectives, the study explores how students externalize climate-rela…

Bu araştırma, ortaokul öğretmenlerinin ölçme ve değerlendirme uygulamalarında eleştirel düşünme becerisini desteklerken kullandıkları yöntemleri, bu süreçte karşılaştıkları zorlukları ve olanakları, öğretmen ve öğrenci perspektifinden incelemeye yönelik fenomenolojik bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunun seçim…

This study investigates the impact of TRIZ-based instructional activities implemented in fourth-grade science lessons on students’ creative thinking and problem-solving skills. The research employed a quasi-experimental design involving experimental and control groups. The study was conducted with 30 fourth-grade stud…
