This document describes a research study that evaluated the educational effectiveness of using scientific visualizations to teach physics concepts in Year 11 Physics education. The study used a crossover research design where teachers taught two concepts - one with visualizations and one without - to see if using visualizations led to greater conceptual development as measured by pre and post tests. The study aimed to determine if teaching with scientific visualizations is more effective than teaching without them for supporting students' understanding of physics concepts. Data collection was postponed from 2008 to 2009 and results were to be presented at the AARE 2009 conference.

This study examined differences in physics self-efficacy between male and female students with similar achievement levels in introductory physics courses. Students completed a self-efficacy survey three times over one academic year. Analysis of the survey results found that female students had significantly lower physics self-efficacy than male students, even when performance levels were comparable. Maintaining this gender gap in self-efficacy could influence women to drop physics courses or majors early on or fail to pursue STEM careers. The researchers conclude that classroom interventions are needed to reduce differences in self-efficacy between genders to improve diversity and retention in STEM fields.
Do our physics degrees create expert physicists?
The study examined students' attitudes towards physics over the course of their undergraduate degree using the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (CLASS). A longitudinal study tracked 35 students and found that expert-like thinking remained high but flat over time. A cross-sectional study of 625 students across years found similar results, validating this alternative method. The studies suggest expert-like thinking is high upon entry but transitions at degree entry/exit points, remaining flat during undergraduate study. Future work will examine gender differences and correlate CLASS scores to career outcomes.
Horne method presentation
The document discusses a study that tested the effectiveness of using the Horne Method to teach science to elementary school students in the Philippines. The Horne Method focuses on spelling, pronunciation, definitions, and sentence construction of words. The study found that students who were taught science using the Horne Method (the experimental group) achieved a higher mastery level (76.93%) than students who were not taught using this method (the control group), who achieved 66.20%. The study concluded that the Horne Method can improve student academic performance and vocabulary development in science.
El December 2006 Grading
This document summarizes research on improving grading practices in K-12 science education. It discusses how current grading systems do not always accurately reflect student learning and achievement. Research shows that formative assessment can improve student learning in science when integrated into summative assessment and grading. Effective feedback focuses on the task and how to improve, rather than personal criticism. Standards-based grading systems that account for learning growth over time can better communicate expectations and performance to students.
A Riccardo Research Presentation
The document summarizes a study that compared the effectiveness of text-based versus hands-on science lessons with 7th grade students. Students were given pre- and post-tests after lessons on a specific state standard. Results showed that students who received only text-based lessons showed the greatest improvement on test scores, while students who received only hands-on lessons showed no improvement. Students who received both lessons showed some improvement but not as much as the text-only group. The study concludes that while students prefer hands-on activities, text-based lessons may better prepare them for high-stakes testing.

First oral Presentation
This study examined the effects of cooperative learning versus individualistic instruction on the acquisition of English grammar rules and mechanics by 318 junior high school students in the Middle East. Students were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental groups used cooperative learning techniques while control groups used individual instruction. Pre- and post-tests were administered and teachers observed students. Results showed no difference in outcomes between high- and low-achieving students. Cooperative learning was at least as effective as individual instruction and benefited low-achieving students more without negatively impacting high-achievers.
Group b findings(presentation)
The faculty of the University of California attempted to use the scientific method to address problems with students lacking dependability. They formulated the hypothesis that incorporating biographies would help develop student character. They tested this by implementing biographies in classes and observed students, but results were inconclusive. The faculty agreed to continue the approach despite incomplete data. Improvements would include more systematic data collection before and after the experiment to better evaluate the hypothesis.

Apa Lit Review #1
This study analyzed over 69 prior research studies from 1987-2003 on the relationship between homework and academic achievement. Researchers found a consistently positive relationship, with homework associated with higher achievement across different grade levels, subject areas, and student characteristics. The relationship was stronger for secondary students than elementary. While an association was found, researchers noted this does not prove causation. More research is still needed to understand how different types and amounts of homework may differentially impact achievement.

This document summarizes an action research study on the effects of an after-school learning space on student achievement and confidence. The study found no statistically significant changes in overall achievement or confidence, but did find a statistically significant increase in confidence for English language learners who participated in the learning space. The study suggests increasing structured support and attendance to better realize the potential benefits of the learning space.
Action research
The document discusses action research and its application in education. It defines action research as research conducted by teachers and administrators to improve decision making and practice. It notes action research focuses on addressing real problems in local contexts rather than developing universal theories. The document then outlines the key steps of action research, including identifying an issue, analyzing causes, developing hypotheses for action, designing a study, and evaluating results. As an example, it proposes an action research study to address students not completing math homework. The study would check homework, punish defaulters, and evaluate if this improves homework completion rates.

Science Lesson
This science lesson plan is for a 2nd grade class and focuses on balance and stable positions. The lesson builds on a previous lesson where students learned about balance and counterweights. Students will experiment balancing tagboard shapes like triangles and arches using craft sticks and clothespins to discover multiple stable positions. Formative assessment will be done through observation and a worksheet where students identify stable and unstable positions of shapes. The lesson aims to help students understand and predict stable balance points.
Action research chart
The goal is to increase the percentage of third grade students reading at grade level from 38% to 80% at R.C. Neal Elementary. Teachers will receive ongoing, job-embedded professional development on specific reading strategies. This will help second grade students improve their reading levels as measured by assessments, resulting in more students reading proficiently in third grade.
Slides for building a sustainable future
This document summarizes work supported by the National Science Foundation to improve Earth science education. It finds that while most science teachers have taken life science and chemistry courses, fewer have backgrounds in Earth science. It presents new curricular materials from the InTeGrate project that address this issue by focusing on interdisciplinary grand challenges, real-world data, and developing students' systems thinking skills. Assessment shows these materials have improved students' Earth science literacy and interest in contributing solutions to sustainability issues. The goal is for these resources to ultimately impact more than just individual classrooms.
What are the disadvantages of standardizes testing
Farooq Iqbal presented on the disadvantages of standardized testing. Standardized testing has not improved student learning and has correlated with declines in US education rankings globally. It can also be predictable, assuming all students start from the same level of understanding and only measures raw comprehension data rather than other skills. Additionally, tying teacher evaluations to standardized test results has incentivized "teaching to the test" rather than comprehensive learning and has narrowed curriculums. More time is also spent on test preparation rather than actual learning. While standardized testing can be a useful evaluation tool, it needs to be implemented carefully to avoid potential issues.

What is science
- Science involves creating and testing knowledge claims about the natural world using methods and standards of evidence. It aims to build an objective body of knowledge through experiments and observation.
- There are four main scientific disciplines: physics, chemistry, biology, and earth/space sciences. The boundaries between them are blurred with overlapping fields like biophysics.
- Science uses mathematics and technology as tools. It teaches both facts and "big ideas" like that everything is made of chemicals in chemistry. The purpose is to prepare both future scientists and an informed public.

Oaklanders undiagnosed post tramatic stress
The document discusses the relationship between post-traumatic stress and poverty. It notes that minorities living in poverty have limited access to psychiatric evaluations, and undiagnosed PTSD can lead to problems like depression. The author argues that children growing up in high-crime, poverty-stricken areas are more likely to develop PTSD and behavioral issues without treatment. The author proposes researching the lack of psychiatric resources for impoverished communities and schools to address generational cycles of mental health issues influenced by poverty and unstable environments.
Science education for global citizenship
The document discusses the challenges facing the world like climate change, disease, and economic crises. Many of these challenges are global and scientific in nature. It argues that science education needs to prepare all students, not just those going into science careers, to understand science and take an active role as global citizens. It should teach scientific issues in real-world contexts and help students make informed decisions on issues. This will allow citizens to avoid being misled on scientific claims and help address global challenges through informed participation.

Force Concept Inventory Mature Students Nolan
The document summarizes research using the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) to assess conceptual understanding of mechanics in mature learners at a foundation level. Key findings include:
- Students showed significant gains in conceptual understanding from pre- to post-testing with the FCI after interactive mechanics instruction. However, understanding remained below levels expected at university entry.
- The most misunderstood concepts pre-instruction were Newton's third law and inertia in rolling situations. Smaller than average gains were seen for questions involving these topics.
- Results were consistent with other studies, suggesting the FCI reliably captures typical misconceptions. However, some question its ability to comprehensively assess conceptual grasp of mechanics.

The document summarizes research on using contexts in physics teaching and describes the Salters Horners Advanced Physics (SHAP) course, which takes a context-led approach. Key points:
- Research found context-based approaches improve student motivation and attitudes towards science without harming understanding of concepts.
- SHAP was developed over two years using 11 contexts like sports, food, and archaeology. It aims to make physics relevant through activities, progression of topics, and support for teachers.
- Students and teachers praised SHAP for making physics interesting and understandable when presented in real-world applications rather than traditional approaches.
EJ1053790.pdf
This document summarizes a study that examined high school students' attitudes toward physics lessons and physical experiments. A questionnaire was administered to 295 high school students in Kayseri, Turkey to assess their attitudes. The results showed that students had a slightly positive average attitude score of 63.07 toward physics lessons and physical experiments, just above the neutral score of 60. There were no significant differences in attitudes based on gender. However, students' grades and ages did affect their attitudes, with older and higher-grade students having more positive attitudes. In general, many students felt physics lessons were boring or difficult and they did not have positive expectations or success in physics. Their attitudes toward physical experiments were also negative, with most seeing the experiments as un

The purpose of this research was to seek the effectiveness of Project – Based Learning (PBL) (i.e., egg drop project) towards students’ real world connection in learning physics. This research was conducted in Tuaran (Urban) and Kota Marudu (Rural) in Malaysia. A total of thirty- eight(38) form four students (i.e., 17 male and 21 female students) were used in the study. Data used in the study were collected using the Colorado Learning Attitude about Science Survey (CLASS) – real world connection Category. Respondents were required to response to the survey instrument based on a five point Likert scale before (presurvey) and after (post-survey) in the implementation of PBL. Data collected were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science Version 20.0 for windows (SPSS) to compare the students’ pre-survey and postsurvey responses. Wilcoxon signed ranks test results showed that real world connection of overall students for both schools in total, gender (i.e., male and female) andlocation(i.e., urban and rural) have positive significant difference in median values.In addition the second analysis which is the paired samples-t-test results showed that overall students for both schools in total, gender (i.e., male and female)and location (i.e., urban and rural) have positive significant difference in mean values as well. Therefore study revealed that through PBL-egg drop project, students could relate physics concepts; momentum, impulse and impulsive force into real life situations, engaged students’ real world connection in learning physics and changed students’ perception towards physics

The focus of this study was about higher secondary and primary school students’ attitude towards physics subject. The population of this study was some of the higher secondary and primary schools students of Dire Dawa administrative city (Ethiopia), however due to time constraints and convenience students from three government secondary schools, 2 Private secondary schools and l1 government and private schools were taken as convenience sample for this study. The study revealed that students were very much unsatisfied from the physics teacher methodology moreover students have considered physics as difficult subject and developed negative attitudes on the calculation part of the subject. The result also revealed that girls are more attracted on physics subject when they at primary than secondary schools, like grade 9 and 11.
A Study on the Relationship between Affective Learning outcome and Achievemen...
ABSTRACT: science, as a subject is universal and has no boundaries. Teaching of science should enable the students to enrich their Affective domain. The interest, attitude and aptitude in science help students to learn and apply scientific concepts and principles in a logical and effective way. Factors such as student motivation, attitudes, perceptions and values are included in the affective domain. It is therefore not surprising that affective domain learning outcomes are often the least considered when teachers plan or conduct their lessons. Teachers can increase their effectiveness by considering the affective domain in planning courses, delivering lectures and activities, and assessing student learning. In this paper, the investigator tried to find out whether there exists any relationship between Affective Learning Outcome and Achievement in Physics of Secondary School Students for the total sample and for the subsample based on Gender. The investigator also finds out whether exist any significant differences in the Affective Learning Outcome and Achievement in Physics among Secondary School Students based on Gender. Proper statistical techniques were used for collecting standardizing and analyzing the data.

Attitude Towards Biology And Its Effects On Student S Achievement
This study examined the relationship between attitudes towards biology and student achievement in biology courses among 185 high school students in Iran. The results showed that overall attitude towards biology was not significantly correlated with biology achievement. However, the dimension of "biology is fun for me" was positively and significantly correlated with achievement. There were no significant gender differences in attitude towards biology, but girls had significantly higher achievement in biology than boys. The study suggests making biology curriculum more fun for students in order to foster more positive attitudes towards the subject.

The Development of Newtonian Mechanics Conceptual Change Texts to Overcome St...Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn)
The research aimed to develop a valid and practical Conceptual Change Texts (CCT) of Newtonian mechanics materials. The method used was educational research and development. The data were collected using questionnaires and expert validation sheets, as well as questionnaires and interviews with students. The design of the CCT was developed based on the conceptual change theory using the following format: situation, questions, space for answers and reasons, misconception forms, and correct concept explanations. There have been 21 developed units of the CCT distributed in four chapters, i.e. Basic Laws, Applications of the Basic Laws, Work and Energy, and Impulse and Momentum. The results of the data analysis revealed that the CCT had content, conformity with needs, language, presentation, and graphic feasibility levels of 70%, 40%, 80%, 90%, 87%, respectively to mean that the teaching materials were very valid. Based on the practicality test, the teaching materials were very practical, i.e. 87%. In other words, the Newtonian mechanics CCT was easy to read and understand and could be used to change misconceptions. Educators can use these supplement teaching materials in the Basic Physics courses in college and in mechanics topics in a high school.Mount Rainier Institute Field Study Guide
The document provides background information and guidelines for creating a field study guide for Mount Rainier Institute.

Introduction
Of the many barriers to quality physical education, limited time and resources are some of the most formidable (Barroso, McCullum‐Gomez, Hoelscher, Kelder, & Murray, 2005; Morgan & Hansen, 2008). In an effort to overcome such barriers, some experts have suggest the use of a tool that has traditionally been used by classroom teachers (Gill & Schlossman, 2004a) but seldomly by physical educators (Mitchell, Stanne, & Barton, 2000; van Sluijs, McMinn, & Griffin, 2007) – homework (Novak & Lynott III, 2015; St. Ours & Scrabis-Fletcher, 2013a). Some of the criticisms of homework use for classroom subjects are that it promotes rote practice and busy work (Kohn, 2006). However, those same factors may be a seen as assets in a physical education context. When learning a motor skills, rote practice (# of practice trials/hours of practice) is arguably the most important variable for improvment (Schmidt, Lee, Winstein, Wulf, & Zelaznik, 2018). Additionally, when encouraging children to accumulate at least an hour of daily physical activity, what some call busy work, may be useful. After all, anything that keeps a child physically active is likely helping to meet national or state standards regarding physical activity (Hill, 2009; Novak & Lynott III, 2015).
The purpose of this study will be to investigate the efficacy of motor skill homework in elementary physical education classes. This inquiry is significant because there is very little in the current literature on the topic. Most of the current body of literature focuses on active homework (Duncan et al., 2011; Fairclough et al., 2013) or the attitudes and opinions of stakeholders (Barney & Strand, 2008; Kinchin & O’Sullivan, 2003; Smith & Madden, 2014). Furthermore, children are not as physically active as they should be to maintain optimal health (Roman-Viñas et al., 2016; Tremblay et al., 2016) and research shows that such inactivity can result from being physically illiterate (Whitehead, 2010). Inquiries such as this are valuable because they contribute to the body of knowledge regarding best practices in the utilization of homework in physical education contexts. When children engage in programs that improve physical literacy, they are more likely to lead physically active lives (Behringer, Heede, Matthews, & Mester, 2011; Clark & Metcalfe, 2002; Harris, 2014) and thus healthier lives (Reiner, Niermann, Jekauc, & Woll, 2013).
Delimitations
This study will be delimited to 5th grade students at a public elementary school. The classes must be left in-tact and the participants will be volunteers so the sample is on of convenience. Measures of skill achievement will be made via a skills test of a novel skill – juggling a footbag. Homework compliance will be reported from self record forms signed by parents/guardians. Students failing to submit the required approval forms or choosing to drop out will not be included.

Teacher efficiency, effectiveness and efficacy
The document defines and discusses the terms effectiveness, efficiency, and efficacy as they relate to teaching. Effectiveness refers to achieving specified goals and can be measured by evaluating the extent goals are met. Efficiency considers the resources required to meet goals, with more efficient practices achieving the same goals using fewer resources. Efficacy refers to a teacher's confidence in their own ability to be effective.
Teacher expertise
Expert teachers have five categories of expertise according to Hattie (2003). They can identify essential representations of their subject, guide learning through classroom interactions, monitor learning and provide feedback, attend to affective attributes, and influence student outcomes. Specifically, expert teachers have deeper representations of teaching and learning, adopt a problem-solving approach, anticipate and improvise, and are good decision-makers. They create an optimal learning environment, have multidimensional perception of classrooms, and are context-dependent with high situation cognition. Expert teachers also monitor students' understanding better, provide more useful feedback, develop hypotheses, and are more automatic. Additionally, they have high respect for students, are passionate about teaching and learning, engage and challenge students
Objectives for lecture 7 7801 edn
The objectives for today are to consider the purposes and uses of assessment in education, the distinction between assessment for learning and assessment of learning, and to expand assessment repertoires while challenging assumptions and resisting anti-educational trends.
Science curriculum and syllabus
The document discusses science education in Queensland and focuses on the Australian National Curriculum. It outlines the three strands of the curriculum: Science Understanding, Science as a Human Endeavor, and Science Inquiry Skills. Each strand is divided into further sub-categories. The document also discusses using curricular emphases, such as nature of science, technology, and science and society, to integrate socioscientific issues into science classrooms. Curricular emphases allow teachers to meet the goals of both high-quality science education and good test scores.
Curriculum and syllabus
The document outlines the key differences between a curriculum and a syllabus. A syllabus is mandated by the government and defines what must be taught, assessed, and how instruction should be delivered. In contrast, a curriculum is developed by teachers and comprises the experiences and activities students will engage in. The document then provides various definitions of a curriculum, including the subjects taught, content, programs of study, and planned school experiences. It also discusses different images of a curriculum and introduces the concept of a hidden curriculum.
Productive pedagogies
The document summarizes research from the Queensland School Reform Longitudinal Study on productive pedagogies. The research found high levels of supportiveness in classrooms but low intellectual demand and connectedness. Teachers with high ratings of productive pedagogies had a greater sense of responsibility, efficacy, and understanding of curriculum and assessment. The absence of intellectual demand particularly in disadvantaged schools has social justice implications, as it reproduces inequality by demanding what it does not provide. Productive pedagogies aim to redistribute capitals by aligning curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment in a way that scaffolds learning and connects to students' lives.
Differentiated learning
This document discusses differentiated learning and recognizing student diversity in the classroom. It argues that all students are diverse and teachers should see differences as resources rather than deficits. The document also addresses challenges in differentiating instruction for individual students and proposes creating a classroom learning community where students support each other's learning.
Constructivism lite
Constructivism is an epistemological theory about knowledge that posits learners already have existing knowledge and construct new knowledge by building on their foundations and integrating new information, rather than knowledge being directly transmitted. As such, students should be actively engaged in their learning by testing new knowledge frameworks based on their starting point of existing knowledge and experience.
Planning for instruction in science
This document discusses different aspects of planning for teaching. It recommends that beginning teachers need more detailed written plans than experienced teachers. It also emphasizes that quality planning allows for flexibility and creativity in teaching. The document also notes specific planning considerations for teaching science, such as obtaining equipment and booking lab time. It describes planning in terms of overall year plans, unit plans, and using a storyline approach to structure individual lessons.
Matter and energy (and a little electricity)
This document discusses different forms of matter and energy. It explains that according to Einstein's theory of relativity, mass and energy are interchangeable and related by the famous equation E=mc^2. Energy exists in many forms including kinetic, potential, chemical, thermal, electrical, and others. Energy can be converted from one form to another, though some energy is always lost in the form of heat during conversions. All energy on Earth ultimately originates from the sun.
Introduction to the 5Es Model
This document outlines the 5 E instructional model for inquiry-based science instruction. It describes the 5 phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) and provides examples of activities for each phase. It also lists science process skills and types of questions teachers can use at different phases of instruction. The 5 E model provides a framework to incorporate science concepts, process skills, and questioning into inquiry-based lessons.
Metaphors we teach by
This document discusses metaphors related to teaching and learning. It argues that metaphors shape how we think about concepts in unconscious ways. The document asks readers to reflect on their own metaphors for learning and teaching by drawing pictures representing these metaphors. Readers then share and discuss their metaphors to consider how coherent and consistent their views of learning and teaching are. The document also discusses how metaphors like "work" shape schooling and asks readers to reflect on other potentially unhelpful metaphors.
Defining middle years
This document defines middle years education as grades 6-9 and focuses on junior secondary grades 7-10. It discusses that middle years education aims to meet the unique developmental needs of early adolescents through intentional teaching practices. While students have various characteristics and challenges during this time, the document emphasizes that teacher quality has the greatest influence on student outcomes and engagement. It provides an overview of research findings regarding productive pedagogies and practices that can better support middle years learners.
Open teacher education
A university professor is conducting an experiment in open education by sharing course materials online and maintaining open discussion forums. The forums are intended for students in the professor's courses and are voluntary and not a graded component. While participation can continue beyond the courses, any data from the forums will not be used for research without consent in order to maintain openness. The professor hopes this will help students develop their identity as teachers.
Forces and motion
A lightning tour, qualitatively, of the physics of forces and motion. Intended as a backgrounder for middle years teachers.
Inquiry
The document discusses different aspects of inquiry-based learning. It explains that inquiry is consistent with constructivist learning theories but is not the same as constructivism. Inquiry can be open-ended, allowing students to develop different answers, or open-entry where students develop a pre-planned scientific concept. The teacher plays an important role in inquiry by asking questions, facilitating student activities, and helping students develop scientific language and concepts from their inquiries. The teacher also supports students by scaffolding the inquiry process and managing engagement and frustration levels.
Curriculum
The document discusses the differences between a curriculum and a syllabus. A syllabus is mandated by the government and outlines what must be taught and assessed, while a curriculum is developed by teachers and comprises the experiences students will have. The document also discusses various definitions of curriculum, the hidden curriculum, curriculum development processes, organizing curriculum around contexts, key concepts, planning based on student activities, using storylines in units, thinking styles of students, and making curricula public.
Science, technology and understanding
The document discusses challenges in teaching science to future middle years and secondary school teachers. It focuses on integrating socioscientific issues into science curricula without taking away from content. The author models this approach in their teacher education courses by emphasizing either nature of science, technology, or science and society in sample course units. Student assignments are then analyzed to evaluate the pedagogy's effects on preparing teachers to plan science lessons integrating these real-world issues.
Science education for immortal cyborgs
The document discusses emerging technologies, particularly those involving the human body and mind, that will radically change society in the future. It notes that life extension technologies could potentially make humans immortal if the rate of increased life expectancy continues to rise. However, these technologies are currently only available to people in wealthy Western countries and will likely worsen global inequalities. Science education must therefore prepare students to make decisions about and live with the social consequences of these emerging technologies.
