  2. 11. 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

  4. 12. Teaching and Learning Protein Synthesis through Domain-Specific Language in Upper Secondary Education

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Concepual demography; context; protein synthesis; upper secondary education; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The aim of this licentiate thesis is to contribute to understanding of upper secondary teaching and learning of protein synthesis with a focus on domain-specific language. It is based on two studies, designated Studies I and II. READ MORE

  5. 13. Coteaching chemical bonding with Upper secondary senior students : A way to refine teachers PCK

    Author : Felix Schultze; Pernilla Nilsson; Zimmerman Nilsson Marie-Helene; Anna Vikström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Coteaching; pedagogical content knowledge; pck; chemical bonding; representations; chemistry education; chemistry didactic;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate how an experienced chemistry teacher gains and refines her pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) by cooperating with two grade 12 students (age 18) as coteachers while teaching chemical bonding in a grade 10 Upper secondary class. The study has been conducted from a sociocultural perspective, especially Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development (ZPD) (Vygotsky, 1978). READ MORE

  6. 14. Making science come alive : Student-generated stop-motion animations in science education

    Author : Daniel Orraryd; Lena Tibell; Jesper Haglund; Jörg Zabel; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Stop-motion animation; Student generated representations; Evolution; Alternative conceptions; Redox chemistry;

    Abstract : The availability of digital technology in classrooms does not only increase the possibility for teachers to present content in new visual and dynamic ways. This technology also offers students the opportunity to become cocreators of content in science classrooms. READ MORE

  7. 15. Models of chemical bonding : Representations Used in School Textbooks and by Teachers and their Relation to Students´Difficulties in Understanding

    Author : Anna Bergqvist; Michal Drechsler; Shu-Nu Chang Rundgren; Pernilla Nilsson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pedagogical content knowledge; chemical bonding; textbook analysis; students learning difficulties; models in science education; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on how school textbooks and teachers present models of chemical bonding in upper secondary schools in Sweden. In science, as well as in science education, models play a central role, but research has shown that they often are difficult for students to understand. READ MORE
