Abstract This paper set emerged from an international symposium that aimed to shed light on issues associated with the enactment of inquiry both as means (i.e., instructional approach) and ends a learning outcome) in precollege science classrooms. The contributors were charged providing perspectives their countries following major themes: (a) philosophical practical conceptions curriculum; (b) images curriculum, curricular materials, classroom instruction, assessment practices; (c) factors...
For more than a century, laboratory experiences have been purported to promote central science education goals including the enhancement of students' understanding concepts in and its applications; scientific practical skills problem solving abilities; 'habits mind'; how scientists work; interest motivation. Now at beginning 21st century it looks as if issue regarding learning from context teaching chemistry is still relevant research issues well developmental implementation issues. This...
Abstract Design‐Based Science (DBS) is a pedagogy in which the goal of designing an artifact contextualizes all curricular activities. Design viewed as vehicle through scientific knowledge and real‐world problem‐solving skills can be constructed. Following Anderson Hogan's (1999) call to document design new science pedagogies, this article twofold: (a) describe DBS, (b) evaluate whether significant was constructed during consecutive enactments three DBS units. In study, 92 students...
Abstract ‘Relevance’ is one of the key terms related to reforms in teaching and learning science. It often used by policy-makers, curriculum developers, science education researchers teachers. In recent years, many policy documents based on international surveys have claimed that seen (especially at secondary school level) as being irrelevant for learners. The literature suggests making relevant both learner personally society which he or she lives should be goals education. However, what...
This study focuses on the ability of high-school chemistry students, who learn through inquiry approach, to ask meaningful and scientifically sound questions. We investigated (a) students questions related their observations findings in an inquiry-type experiment (a practical test) (b) after critically reading a scientific article. The student population consisted two groups: inquiry-laboratory group (experimental group) traditional laboratory-type (control group). three common features were...
Design‐based science (DBS) is a pedagogy in which new scientific knowledge and problem‐solving skills are constructed the context of designing artifacts. This paper examines whether enactment DBS unit supported students’ efforts to construct transfer ‘designerly’ solution real‐world design problem setting. One hundred forty‐nine students participated unit. Their understanding curricular content was assessed by identical pre‐instructional post‐instructional written tests. They were then given...
Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned during their elementary school years. This partially due lack any assessment instrument measure inquiry. However, a valid and reliable has recently been developed published, Views About Scientific Inquiry (VASI; Lederman et al. [2014], Journal Research Science Teaching, 51, 65–83). The purpose...
Abstract Chemical bonding is one of the key and basic concepts in chemistry. The learning many taught chemistry, both secondary schools as well colleges, dependent upon understanding fundamental ideas related to chemical bonding. Nevertheless, concept perceived by teachers, learners, difficult, with teaching commonly leading students developing misconceptions. Many these misconceptions result from over‐simplified models used text books, use traditional pedagogy that presents a rather limited...
Action research is suggested as a way to engage teachers in curriculum development and the betterment of teaching practices schools based on educational activities. As other domains, action science education employed with both aims better understand develop contribute teacher continuous professional development. A variety methodological approaches using exists, from more technical toward emancipatory interpretations. The range settings goals for which performed also quite broad. purpose this...
Discussions held in the chemical education community have generated a variety of reports and recommendations for reforming chemistry curriculum. The refer to teaching context real-world issues. This has been suggested as way enhance students' motivation. It is that problems emphasize interdisciplinary nature relevance lives. An attempt was made incorporate these into by analytical together with environmental chemistry. A unit incorporating an developed, which students learn concepts specific...
Abstract The traditional pedagogical approach for teaching chemical bonding is often overly simplistic and not aligned with the most up‐to‐date scientific models. As a result, high‐school students around world lack fundamental understanding of bonding. In order to improve students' this concept, it was essential propose systemic treatment, namely, revising content, approach, assessment methods regarding concept. Therefore, main goal study build conceptual framework that provides an advanced...
Uno de los objetivos claves para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje las ciencias es desarrollar interés actitudes positivas hacia ciencia, en general, misma, particular. Debido a ello, esta área lo largo años ha alimentado muchos estudios investigación, enfocados ya sea aspectos contenido, pedagogía o curriculares. En este trabajo nos enfocamos al tema levantar intereses contexto del química, sobre todo nivel bachillerato. Los autores sugieren que existen tres factores considerar ello: métodos...
Background:The current study deals with freshman students who at the Department of Science Faculty Education. The aim was to investigate effect teaching electrochemistry concepts using Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) strategy.Materials and methods:The quasi-experimental design 20 each in experimental group (EG) control (CG). An Open-Ended Test (OET) Multiple Choice (MCT) were used as pre- post-test respectively. POE treat group, post test scores showed a statistically significant difference...
Many researches have been conducted in order to examine students' misconceptions chemistry. The present study focuses on difficulties regarding the concepts chemical structure and bonding, which are essential for understanding many topics Research around world has clearly shown that associated with such as molecules, ions, hydrogen bonds, giant lattices abstract highly based sub-microscopic nature of In Israel, central developed Matriculation Examination chemistry is one main sources...
In this study our goal was to better understand the development of chemistry teachers who are involved in a continuous professional (CPD) programme, focusing on using inquiry approach classroom‐laboratory, followed by protocols assembled portfolio that can be used demonstrate evidence‐based practice teaching laboratory. Fourteen experienced participated workshop, coordinated three CPD providers from Department Science Teaching, at Weizmann Institute Science. The meetings, lasting about...
Understandings of the nature scientific inquiry (NOSI), as opposed to engaging students in learning experiences, are included science education reform documents around world. However, little is known about what have learned NOSI during their pre-college school years. The purpose this large-scale follow-up international project (i.e. 32 countries and regions, spanning six continents including 3917 for high sample) was collect data on exiting NOSI. Additionally, study investigated changes 12th...
The aim of this study is to learn how a series 3-day international seminars, emphasizing networking, and an academic writing, reviewing, leading discussions, supports PhD students’ professional learning development by providing both formal non-formal context. sample consisted students from three countries – Estonia, Finland Israel, was carried out in 2022 (in-person seminar; n = 20) 2023 (hybrid 17).

Laboratory activities have long had a distinctive and central role in the science curriculum, educators suggested that many benefits accrue from engaging students laboratory activities. Many research studies been conducted to investigate educational effectiveness of work education facilitating attainment cognitive, affective, practical goals. In Israel, on 2000, chemical committee, based needs assessment survey, recommended new syllabus include whole unit inquiry-based as part learning...
