Most of the strategies that have been proposed to determine number components account for most variation in a principal analysis correlation matrix rely on eigenvalues and numerical solutions. The Cattell’s scree test is graphical strategy with nonnumerical solution retain. Like Kaiser’s rule, this one frequently used determining However, nature does not definitively establish To circumvent issue, some solutions are proposed, spirit work dealing part plot, focusing elbow plot. A simulation...
ABSTRACT Science education studies have revealed that students often misconceptions about how nature works, but what happens to after a conceptual change remains poorly understood. Are rejected and replaced by scientific conceptions, or are they still present in students' minds, coexisting with newly acquired conceptions? In this study, we use functional magnetic resonance imaging ( fMRI ) compare brain activation between novices experts science when evaluate the correctness of simple...
Serious games have become increasingly available to educators. Empirical studies and meta-analyses examined their impact on learning achievement. However, natural sciences could a special relation serious by systematic use of quantitative predictive models that can generate microworlds simulations. Since no known meta-analysis observed significant in the specific context science learning, present synthesised results from 79 empirical compared achievement instruction using versus more...
ABSTRACT Previous studies have revealed that “ neuromyths ,” which are misconceptions about the brain, show a high prevalence among teachers in different countries. However, little is known origin of these ideas; to say, sources may influence their presence teachers. This research aims identify five frequent Quebec (belief and reported practices) beliefs (e.g., reading popular science texts). A total 972 from responded an online questionnaire. Results lower than previous (although it remains...
A near-infrared camera in use at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) and 1.6-m telescope of Observatoire du Mont-Megantic is described. The based on a Hawaii-1 1024x1024 HgCdTe array detector. Its main feature to acquire three simultaneous images wavelengths across methane absorption bandhead 1.6 microns, enabling, theory, an accurate subtraction stellar point spread function (PSF) detection faint close methanated companions. instrument has no coronagraph features fast data...
This quasi-experimental study investigated the effects on 558 grades five and six students of three different teaching conditions: classical model conceptual change (for which cognitive conflict is considered as a precondition to transformation knowledge), prevalence (in conceptions can coexist, with one them surpassing others), repetition traditional (that avoids conflicts concentrates automatization appropriate thought processes). These conditions were reduced sequencing considerations,...
In this article, we propose an analysis of the state of, and trends in, field conceptual change research in science education through lens its models. Using a quantitative approach, reviewed all articles (n = 245) published five major journals search support that their authors give to models (CC models). We looked for form explicit or implicit mentions, favourable unfavourable position statements empirical confirmations refutations. The results present thorough description types support, as...
Abstract A central challenge in developing conceptual understanding science is overcoming naive ideas that contradict the content of curricula. Neuroimaging studies reveal high school and university students activate frontal brain areas associated with inhibitory control to overcome science, probably because they persist despite scientific training. However, no neuroimaging study has yet explored how persistent are. Here, we report activations 25 scientists a Ph.D. physics assessing value...
The onset of stand decline is a critical development characteristic that can affect both harvesting schedule and annual allowable cutting volume. age at which begins was assessed in trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) stands the province Quebec, Canada, by three different methods. first used data source consisting 1081 temporary sample plots from segmented regression model fitted to detect any deviation self-thinning line.

Underestimation of LiDAR heights is widely known but has never been evaluated for several sensors and diverse types ecological conditions. This underestimation mainly linked to the probability pulse reach ground top vegetation. Main causes this are density, pattern scan (sensors), angles, specific contract parameters (flying altitude, repetition frequency) characteristics territory (slopes, stand density species composition). study, carried out at a resolution 1 × m, first assessed...
Abstract In this article, we describe a study conducted online with 953 participants of varying levels education and, when applicable, science/physics teaching experience. These were asked to solve cognitive task in which many different pairs objects presented and identify which, if any, would touch the ground first dropped (in atmospheric or non-atmospheric environments). Recorded accuracies response times allowed us conduct an analysis based on conceptual prevalence framework, posits that...
The Partnership for the Development and Success of Science Education in Secondary Schools project seeks to improve science education by fostering a dynamic environment professional development teacher-led inquiry within learning communities (PLCs). Addressing long-standing problem outdated pedagogical approaches, initiative encourages secondary teachers actively engage action research identify and/or address student misconceptions scientific concepts. Through collaboration with leaders...
CPAPIR is a wide-field infrared camera for use at the Observatoire du mont Megantic and CTIO 1.5 m telescopes. The will be primarily survey instrument with half-degree field of view, making it one most efficient its kind. provide broad narrow band filters within 0.8 to 2.5 μm bandpass. based on Hawaii-2 2048x2048 HgCdTe detector.
ABSTRACT Learning counterintuitive scientific concepts can be difficult for students because they often have misconceptions about natural phenomena that lead them to commit errors. Recent studies showed with advanced training recruit brain regions associated inhibitory control and memory retrieval avoid committing errors questions related concepts. However, the mechanisms used by novices in sciences overcome are still unknown. In this study, electricity mechanics answered a task an...
