Although computer modelling is widely advocated as a way to offer students deeper understanding of complex phenomena, the process rather itself and needs scaffolding. In order adequate support, we need thorough reasoning processes employ difficulties they encounter during task. Therefore, in this study 26 students, working dyads, were observed while on task domain physics. A coding scheme was developed capture types used by students. Results indicate that most had strong focus adjusting...

While many researchers in science education have argued that students' epistemological understanding of models and modelling processes would influence their cognitive processing on a task, there has been little direct evidence for such an effect. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relation between (i.e., deep versus surface processing) task. Twenty‐six students, working dyads, were observed while computer‐based task domain physics. Students' was assessed four dimensions nature...

Background:European and national policies on citizenship education stimulate the implementation of a participative approach to education, fostering active citizenship. The reason given for is decline participation in political social life jeopardizing democracy. Schools have implement through stimulating within school its direct environment, while certain kind literacy, critical thinking analysing skills, values, attitudes behaviours.Purpose:The purpose this article problematise advocated by...

Purpose To investigate the role of biomedical and diagnostic inferences in clinical reasoning advanced medical students experienced family physicians using a lexical decision task. Method In 2002, 15 20 fourth-year at Maastricht University school The Netherlands were instructed to carefully study 60 short texts consisting signs symptoms associated with particular disease. Participants read on computer screen responded keyboard. Each text was followed by target item (i.e., item, or nonword)....

Abstract The current study is about students' engagement with socioscientific issues (SSI). We explored the use of sources knowledge SSI and attitudes toward among a sample 1676 Dutch 8‐ to 16‐year‐old students. First, we developed questionnaire that measured four SSI: Social Resources (online media talking parents friends), In‐Class (in‐class talk in‐class offline use), Visit (visiting zoo or science museum school), Offline Media (engaging news via books, magazines, newspapers, TV). Second,...

Abstract In this position paper, we introduce the concept of socioscientific capital (SSC) to denote students' resources that unequivocally play a part when students learn about and make decisions regarding issues (SSIs). Students use variety they engage with SSI. Our conceptualization SSC expands on current conceptualizations refer related both scientific non‐scientific aspects SSI, including internal (personal experiences, values, attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, skills), external (family,...

Abstract Self-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial to students’ learning. SRL characterized by students taking initiative, showing perseverance and adaptively regulating their Teachers play an essential role in promoting fostering this process. However, several studies have shown that primary education explicit instruction of strategies barely takes place. Given the relevance for preparing knowledge society 21st century, it importance teachers learn how they can improve SRL. In present study,...

Objective: In the past decade, several authors have advocated that formative assessment programmes an impact on teachers' knowledge. Consequently, various requirements been proposed in literature for design of these programmes. Only few studies, however, focused a direct comparison between with respect to differences observed their effect Therefore this study we explored three knowledge about supporting students' reflection. Methods: Our was carried out domain vocational nursing education....

The importance of social learning for student teachers' professional development has gained acknowledgement. One way in which teacher training institutes incorporate their curricula is by involving students groups (TLGs). Participation TLGs not only enables to develop skills, but also prevents them from feeling isolated and losing motivation studies. present study uses convergent parallel mixed-methods design search relationships between TLGs' configuration among participating (n = 55) four...

This study investigates the knowledge that experienced teachers draw on when fostering students’ reflections. Reflective skills are crucial for advancing learning. In order to promote reflection productively, extensive support and scaffolding from is indispensible. However, in need of more guidance this area. To inspire pedagogies teacher training, provides insight into employ they engaged with promoting their students reflect. Video vignette interviews were administered 36 secondary...

Introduction Student teachers (henceforth: students) in higher education often experience feelings of emotional loneliness that negatively impact upon their well-being and motivation to learn. Consequently, the importance social learning for students has gained increased prominence, with Teacher Learning Groups (TLGs), is, configurations which students, in-service teachers, teacher educators, sometimes supplemented by researchers and/or experts, collaboratively learn through interactions,...

Engagement with socioscientific issues (SSI) is seen as an important citizenship goal of SSI-based science education. In this experimental study, Dutch students (age 8 to 13) participated in lesson series which they learned about and discussed SSI, such related the textile industry wastewater. Attitudes toward SSI indicating engagement were measured among relatively large (n = 236) control 192) groups prior after intervention. Multilevel analyses showed a positive effect teaching on...

With the rise of secondary alternative schools in Netherlands, such as Montessori and Dalton, research into its effectiveness has become crucial. Alternative schools' greater focus on autonomy independence may better equip students with self-regulated learning (SRL) skills essential for higher education. The aim this study is to investigate transition (alternative) education More specifically, former Dalton (N = 184), 150), regular 8614) are compared perceived fit between education, example...

Teacher Learning Groups (TLGs) are social configurations in which student teachers (henceforth: students) learn together with peers, teacher trainers and through interactions (Doppenberg et al., 2012). Due to the restrictions caused by COVID-19 pandemic, blended education has developed quickly. Blended combines contact learning distance ((Müller & Mildenberger, 2021). This workshop aims shed light on how meetings interfere fulfilment of students’ basic psychological needs TLGs. We also...
