Background: It is stated that it necessary students develop their nanoliteracy in order to come up with everyday issues arising from Nanoscale Science and Technology (NST) applications, taking informed decisions estimating the potential risks benefits. Even though inclusion of NST compulsory education supported by many researchers, research on students' preconceptions concepts phenomena its infancy.Purpose: We aim identify (a) conceptualization size context (b) explanation lotus effect...

Most of the modern technological applications we use in our daily life originate from progress Nanoscience–Nanotechnology (NST). The projection, showing great impact that these advances are going to have on society, exhorts science education researchers incorporate field into educational contexts. Among several issues be dealt with, NST’s significance comes fore. This pilot study aims examine whether both nano-trained primary school teachers and students acknowledge need for inclusion NST...

It is widely argued that Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NST) going to affect several aspects of our life. Therefore, students need develop their nanoliteracy cope with the everyday issues related NST. Although there an increasing interest in introducing NST content primary school students, theoretical frameworks for interpreting learning are still open issue. Τo fill this research gap, paper presents a Teaching Learning Sequence (TLS) about focuses on students' from perspective Framework...

This study is a response to the need examine educational perspective of Nanoscale Science and Engineering field (NSE) in all grades education. Specifically, we address educate primary teachers about essential concepts, applications phenomena NSE discipline. In order do so, first seek establish, salient principles that should be introduced teachers, as result transformation content, content appropriate for target population. addition, challenges making formatted structure accessible variety...

This essay synthesizes more than a decade of research, most which has been published, on the teaching and learning floating sinking (FS) phenomena. The research is comprised iterative design, development, implementation evaluation Teaching-Learning sequence (TLS) for density within FS It was initiated frame European Community supported “Materials Science” project. Due to many, different aspects project, each publication focused particular part study (e.g., effectiveness iteration process)....

Abstract Standards documents envision that students in grades K-6 engage developmentally appropriate yet substantive learning physics and physical science. Students are expected to the practices of discipline, trying develop – experimentally defend their own explanations rich everyday phenomena. Teachers need special preparation meet this challenge. Traditional lecture-based science university courses or emphasize engaging demonstrations with little intellectual ballast unlikely yield kind...
