2. 1. Redox models in chemistry : A depiction of the conceptions held by secondary school students of redox reactions

   Author : Lise-Lotte Österlund; Margareta Ekborg; Anders Berg; Christiane Funk; Astrid Bulte; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; science education; redox reaction; model; inorganic chemistry; organic chemistry; biochemistry; students conceptions; textbook; Other chemistry; Övrig kemi; didactics of chemistry; kemididaktik;

   Abstract : According to previous research, students show difficulties in learning redox reactions. By the historical development different redox models exist to explain redox reactions, the oxygen model, the hydrogen model, the electron model and the oxidation number model. READ MORE

4. 2. Abstraction and authority in textbooks : The textual paths towards specialized language

   Author : Agnes Edling; Caroline Liberg; Åke Viberg; Jan Anward; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; textbook research; text linguistics; content area reading; reader text relationship; literacy education; systemic linguistics; applied linguistics; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

   Abstract : During a few hours of a school day, a student might read textbook texts which are highly diversified in terms of abstraction. Abstraction is a central feature of specialized language and the transition from everyday language to specialized language is one of the most important things formal education can offer students.

5. 3. The floor is yours: A conversation analytic study of teachers' conduct facilitating whole-class discussions around texts

   Author : Annerose Willemsen; Kees de Glopper; Tom Koole; Myrte Gosen; Janet Fuller; Hedwig te Molder; Kris Van den Branden; University of Groningen; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES;

   Abstract : This dissertation reports on detailed interaction research into the ways in which primary school teachers provide space for discussion during history lessons. Teachers participating in this project were asked to hold whole-class discussions on the basis of the textbook texts, instead of having their students complete written exercises individually.

6. 4. Conceptual metaphors in learning and teaching entropy : adopting a cognitive semantic approach in science education research

   Author : Fredrik Jeppsson; Helge Strömdahl; Tamer Amin; Roland Kjellander; David Hammer; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Science education; thermodynamics; semantics; conceptual metaphors; Naturvetenskapernas didaktik; termodynamik; entropi; semantik; begreppsliga metaforer;

   Abstract : Over the last 20 years there has been an extensive amount of research on science learning conducted from a “knowledge-in-pieces” or “resources” perspective. One of the main goals of that research has been to identify and characterize available cognitive knowledge resources that can be productive components of scientific understanding. READ MORE

7. 5. Facets of chemical bonding that enhance or encumber conceptual understanding

   Author : Anders Nimmermark; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; student surveys; chemical bonding; secondary school; tertiary education; coordination chemistry; conceptual understanding;

   Abstract : Chemical bonding is a vast subject, rich in abstract concepts and advanced and less-advanced explanatory models that the learner has to master. In this context, the teaching of chemical bonding at the secondary school level is extremely important, as it has the potential to increase or hinder students’ further understanding of bonding.
