This study examines the epistemic beliefs about justification employed by physics undergraduate and graduate students and faculty in the context of solving a standard classical physics problem and a frontier physics problem. Data were collected by a think-aloud problem solving session followed by a semi-structured interview conducted with 50 participants, 10 participants at freshmen, seniors, masters, PhD, and faculty levels. Seven modes of justification were identified and used for exploring the relationships between each justification mode and problem context, and expertise level. The data showed that justification modes were not mutually exclusive and many respondents combined different modes in their responses in both problem contexts. Success on solving the standard classical physics problem was not related to any of the justification modes and was independent of expertise level. The strength of the association across the problem contexts for the authoritative, rational, and empirical justification modes fell in the medium range and for the modeling justification mode fell in the large range of practical significance. Expertise level was not related with the empirical and religious justification modes. The strength of the association between the expertise level and the authoritative, rational, experiential, and relativistic justification modes fell in the medium range, and the modeling justification mode fell in the large range of practical significance. The results provide support for the importance of context for the epistemic beliefs about justification and are discussed in terms of the implications for teaching and learning science. 相似文献

In this paper, we describe the Scientific Habits of Mind Survey (SHOMS) developed to explore public, science teachers’, and scientists’ understanding of habits of mind (HoM). The instrument contained 59 items, and captures the seven SHOM identified by Gauld. The SHOM was validated by administration to two cohorts of pre-service science teachers: primary science teachers with little science background or interest (n?=?145), and secondary school science teachers (who also were science graduates) with stronger science knowledge (n?=?145). Face validity was confirmed by the use of a panel of experts and a pilot study employing participants similar in demographics to the intended sample. To confirm convergent and discriminant validity, confirmatory factor analysis and evaluation of the reliability were calculated. Statistical data and other data gathered from interviews suggest that the SHOMS will prove to be a useful tool for educators and researchers who wish to investigate HoM for a variety of participants. 相似文献

As a result of dramatic changes in mathematics education around the world, in Turkey both elementary and secondary school
mathematics curriculums have changed in the light of new demands since 2005. In order to perform the expected change in newly
developed curriculum, computer should be integrated into learning and teaching process. Teachers’ beliefs play a key role
in this integration process. Negative beliefs against using computer in mathematics teaching may lead to failure of this process.
With the help of this study, it is aimed to detect mathematics teachers’ beliefs concerning Computer Assisted Mathematics
Instruction (CAMI). Within the scope of this aim, the conducted questionnaire (The opinions of teachers about using computer
in Mathematics Instruction) has been carried out on 91 mathematics teachers in the city of Trabzon. The acquired results have
shown that mathematics teachers have developed negative opinions against CAMI. This state has revealed that there is a huge
inconsistency between curriculum’s positive expectations arising from computer usage and teachers’ convictions. 相似文献

The present study examines how changes in the amount of on-screen text will influence student learning from a multimedia instructional
unit on basic concepts of coordinate geometry. The relative effectiveness of two different versions (short-text and whole-text)
of the instructional unit was examined for students who differed in terms of their ability to remember symbolic units, symbolic
systems and symbolic interpretations. A total of 101 seventh graders were randomly assigned to work with either the whole-text
or the short-text version. Student gains were analyzed using pre-test, post-test and retention test scores. Memory ability
was assessed by the sub-tests of the Structure of Intellect-Learning Abilities Test. Results indicated no significant differences
between groups who worked with short-text and whole-text versions. However retention scores of high and low memory groups
who worked with the whole-text version showed significant differences. The whole-text version was observed to favor students
with high memory for symbolic implications. Results suggest that workability of design principles for multimedia instruction
may depend on the nature of the task and characteristics of the learner. 相似文献

In the present study, the current status of international students and counselling services provided at Turkish universities
is addressed. Firstly, a brief history of counselling and counselling services in Turkish universities is examined, leading
to a consideration of the current status of international students and counselling services. Finally, key elements for working
effectively with international students are presented and a long-term orientation model that might be applicable for Turkish
university counselling centers is proposed. 相似文献

This research aimed to examine the impact of using mobile-supported learning management systems (LMS) in teaching web design on the academic success of students and their opinion on the course; and it was conducted on 70 volunteer students (35 experimental, 35 control) enrolled at Giresun University, Technical Sciences Vocational School, Computer Technologies Department, Program of Computer Programming in Spring 2015–2016. After the eight weeks long implementation of Mobile Moodle, which is a mobile-supported LMS, as a supplement to traditional learning methods; t-test was used in order to determine whether the methodology mentioned had a significant impact on the academic success of web design teaching. As a result of the t-test implemented; it was seen that there was a significant level of difference in favor of the experimental group; between the academic success of students in the experimental group where mobile-supported LMS is used and the academic success of the students in the control group where traditional learning methodologies are used. Also, it has been determined that using Mobile LMS has increased the students’ interest. 相似文献

This paper reports on the use of a constructivist-based pedagogy to enhance understanding of some features of solution chemistry.
Pre-service science teacher trainees' prior knowledge about the dissolution of salts and sugar in water were elicited by the
use of a simple diagnostic tool. The test revealed widespread alternative conceptions. These evaluation data were used to
produce two segments of ‘conceptual change text’: concise summaries that present alternative and scientific conceptualizations
for the concepts under study. The texts were administered to 21 pre-service elementary trainee teachers whose understandings
of number of conceptions were subsequently re-evaluated employing a pre-test post-test approach in which their answers and
reasons for their answers were solicited. The findings suggest that these pre-service elementary trainees' alternative conceptions
are changed to become more in accord with the scientific view, with more participants providing correct answers along with
correct reasons than before the intervention. This work suggests that the use of conceptual change text may provide a simple
and cost and resource-effective way to aid conceptual understanding for the dissolution of ionic solids in water including
the effect of solute surface on the dissolution process. 相似文献
