  2. 16. Sensemaking in chemistry at upper secondary school

    Author : Ylva Hamnell -Pamment; Utbildningsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Lärande i kemi; Begripliggörande; Språk; Begreppsutveckling; Lärar-elevinteraktion; Begreppskartor; Samtalsanalys; Chemistry teaching and learning; Sensemaking; Language use; Concept development; Teacher–student interaction; Concept mapping; Conversation analysis;

    Abstract : In chemistry education, student learning difficulties involve connecting theory and phenomena to make sense of chemistry, as well as utilising and understanding the language of chemistry. In this thesis, I examine the relationships among student language use, previous achievement level, and sensemaking in chemistry, as well as how experienced teachers help students make sense of chemistry as part of dialogic interaction during practical work.

  4. 17. Exploring the role that visual representations play when teaching and learning chemical bonding : An approach built on social semiotics and phenomenography

    Author : Emelie Patron; Susanne Wikman; Cedric Linder; Konrad Schönborn; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; chemistry education research; chemical bonding; visual representations; unpacking; meaning-making; social semiotics; phenomenographyh; Pedagogics and Educational Sciences; Pedagogik och Utbildningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I explore the role that visual representations play in the teaching and learning of chemistry, using chemical bonding as a particular case. I do this in a novel way by drawing on a combination of social semiotics and phenomenography. READ MORE

    Abstract : Early childhood education has gained increasing interest over the last decades, especially for its effect on the lifelong learning process. Particularly important for lifelong learning is the child’s self-confidence and positive emotions for learning experiences. READ MORE

  6. 19. MODELLING-BASED TEACHING IN CHEMISTRY IN A MULTILINGUAL CONTEXT : A tool to explore and visualise the non-spontaneous and abstract?

    Author : Lizette Widing; Pernilla Nilsson; Pernilla Granklint Enochson; Karina Adbo; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The thesis aims to investigate modelling-based teaching in the multilingual context. Modelling-based teaching concerns when students create, discuss, and evaluate representations to visualise concepts and processes. In this thesis, modelling-based teaching has been used in polymer chemistry at a Swedish secondary school. READ MORE
