Investigating High-School Chemical Kinetics: The Greek Chemistry Textbook and Students' Difficulties
Peer reviewed
Direct linkGegios, Theodoros; Salta, Katerina; Koinis, Spyros – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2017
In this study we present an analysis of how the structure and content of the Greek school textbook approaches the concepts of chemical kinetics, and an investigation of the difficulties that 11th grade Greek students face regarding these concepts. Based on the structure and content of the Greek textbook, a tool was developed and applied to…

Velentzas, Athanasios; Halkia, Krystallia – International Journal of Science Education, 2013
The present study focuses on the way thought experiments (TEs) can be used as didactical tools in teaching physics to upper secondary-level students. A qualitative study was designed to investigate to what extent the TEs called "Einstein's elevator" and "Einstein's train" can function as tools in teaching basic concepts of the…

Athanasiou, Kyriacos; Papadopoulou, Penelope – International Journal of Science Education, 2012
In this study, we explored some of the factors related to the acceptance of evolution theory among Greek university students training to be teachers in early childhood education, using conceptual ecology for biological evolution as a theoretical framework. We examined the acceptance of evolution theory and we also looked into the relationship…

Children's mental representations about physical concepts and phenomena play a vital role in the learning process. This is confirmed by the data derived from relevant researches which demonstrate that the students formulate incompatible ideas compared with the scientific ones. In this research we investigate the representations of 14-15 years old…
