The results presented here derive from a longitudinal study of Swedish upper secondary science students' (16–19 years age) developing understanding key chemical concepts. informants were 18 students two different schools. aim the present was to investigate mental models matter at particulate level that learners develop. Data collected using semi‐structured interviews based around own drawings atom, and solids, liquids, gases. interview transcripts analysed identify patterns in data offer...
Abstract The study explores children’s emerging understanding of an important science concept in chemistry. Play-based learning activities were designed for children to experience and imagine the ‘small’ as used chemistry, moving from visually experienced level towards more imaginative understandings. Data collected through visual ethnography. Analyses six vignettes conversations between teacher illustrate development focus concept. Deconstruction everyday items familiar computer animations...
The aim of the study was to explore children’s learning natural science, and authors chose a literature review as means achieve this aim. As research into emerging science is fragmented many different theoretical perspectives kinds studies are included, results deriving from field can be difficult summarize. To resolve issue, Vosniadou’s framework theory used tool for data analysis. Results show emergence dynamic interaction between intuitive counter-intuitive concepts leading synthetic...
This study focuses on the development of executive functions in preschool children during a series science activities. A longitudinal play-based learning intervention was designed and implemented following design an educational experiment. Data were collected through visual ethnography hot situations with adult supervision. Results show how entwined concepts inhibitory control cognitive flexibility are within young children's development. The or attention shifting readily occurred when there...
In this paper, we report a case study of 16-year-old Swedish upper secondary student's developing understanding key concept areas studied in his school chemistry course. This illustrates how the thinking an individual learner, Jesper, evolves over year response to formal instruction particular educational context. Jesper presented range ideas, some which matched intended teaching whilst others were quite inconsistent with canonical chemistry. Of interest, research data suggest that initial...
This study focuses on the design of play-based learning activities for chemistry in preschool. Viewing as a part our past and present culture instead subject, provides backdrop more holistic approach to within this specific environment. A cultural-historical perspective, together with scaffolding, emergent science skills sustained shared thinking, made up framework activities. Results show that when scaffolding are used design, they provide good support both content teacher actual situation....
Perezhivanie is a concept that was originally defined by Vygotsky, but it did not become part of educational theory until recently. Today the has been revived, and now used as way to include emotional aspects into education research. The also provides rationale for describing forming personalised learning. present study literature review with aim covering variety in definitions concept, well different perspectives lends research general, focus on early years particular. Results show applied...
Knowledge of scientific inquiry (SI) is considered essential to the development an individual's Scientific Literacy (SL) and therefore, SI included in many international science education reform documents. Two previous large scale studies assessed understandings students entering middle school secondary at end their formal K-12 education. The purpose this project was use VASI-E collect data on what primary level have learned about first few years school. This study adds research bridge...
The results presented here are part of a two-year longitudinal study with two main objectives: 1) designing subject-specific science activities that provide experience chemical phenomena and support positive emotions 2) exploring preschool children’s emergent science. Science was introduced into the setting in form conceptual play. Data collected using visual-ethnography analysed inductively to explore dynamics development motive orientation over year activities. Results show significance...
The aim of the study was to explore students’ own translation symbolic level a chemical reaction, including information provided with use coefficients, indices, and signs, as well preservation atoms. Students were asked translate combustion methane clay modelling. students had make active choices regarding size, shape, two- or three-dimensional structure, number atoms in molecules included reaction using modelling clay. analysis followed three levels presented by Hedegaard. results highlight...
The objective of this study was to deepen our comprehension how children develop understanding in the field science, particularly chemistry. Using framework theory as a theoretical lens enabled focus on emergence dynamic change and transition. According theory, children’s science learning involves wide range intuitive counterintuitive scientific concepts related ontological epistemological perspectives. How transition from everyday thinking during their early years education is influenced by...
This study has been performed in Sweden, where the preschool curriculum states that children’s understanding of simple chemical processes is a goal to strive towards [13]. However, uncertainty within current practice exists and described by B. Sundberg et al. [20]. Motivated lack scientific literature on what chemistry content suitable for children how introduce it, this aims tackle abstract concepts like “atoms” “molecules” can be introduced children. With purpose, play-based learning...
The aim of the study was to explore university students’ interpretations chemical content in form physical constructions atomic nuclei. Playdough chosen as means for expression, since it provided students with task choosing number, form, size, shape, and distance particles. Data collected photographs, written explanations well ad hoc notes. from 64 analyzed using three levels analysis presented by Hedegaard framed within theories models. Results show that choices gave rise 34 variations two...
hemists perceive the world as composed of particles various sizes, which are in continuous motion and take part processes arrangement rearrangement, most on a sub-microscopic, invisible level.This perspective requires people to be capable imagining that is beyond their everyday sensory experience.Decades educational research shows this difficult for learners all ages, but especially early years education.
Molecular imprinting provides a useful complement to the use of biomolecules for thedevelopment sensors analysis trace substances on account their highlyselective recognition characteristics. Moreover, stabilities make them ideal inapplications not normally suitable biomolecules. The nature techniqueand its in number formats environmental monitoring arepresented.
