Direct linkDega, Bekele Gashe; Kriek, Jeanne; Mogese, Temesgen Fereja – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
The purpose of this study was to investigate Ethiopian physics undergraduate students' conceptual change in the concepts of electric potential and energy (EPE) and electromagnetic induction (EMI). A quasi-experimental design was used to study the effect of cognitive perturbation using physics interactive simulations (CPS) in relation to cognitive…

Peer reviewedKorthagen, Fred; Lagerwerf, Bram – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1995
Presents an elaboration of the theory on levels in learning with special emphasis on the relationships between the cognitive and the affective aspects of the learning process. Outlines an illustration of this theory based on empirical results and demonstrates how this theory can be integrated with other learning principles such as constructivism.…

Peer reviewedAkatugba, Ayo A.; Wallace, John – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1999
Key aspects of student difficulty with proportional reasoning can be understood only when the social and cultural contexts in which it is embedded are considered. A constructivist, interpretive case study provided insights into physics students' associations between cultural heritage, world views, societal expectations, authoritarianism,…

Peer reviewedHogan, Kathleen – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1999
Describes the use of an intervention stressing the metacognitive, regulatory, and strategic aspects of knowledge co-construction. Finds that eighth grade students who received the intervention gained in metacognitive knowledge about collaborative reasoning and ability to articulate their collaborative reasoning processes compared to students in…

Peer reviewedAnderson, O. Roger; Demetrius, Olive J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1993
Method is presented for displaying the sequential and multirelational ideation of scientific narrative elicited from respondents. The flow map provides a figural representation of the flow of information, the points in the flow where multirelational and recurrent linkages are made, and the time required to retrieve and express the information at…

von Aufschnaiter, Claudia; von Aufschnaiter, Stefan – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2003
In the literature, learners' cognitive development is mainly discussed with respect to changes in learners' content-dependent knowledge (conceptual change or growth). Additional dimensions of time and complexity may also be taken into account to describe cognitive processes in at least three dimensions. We discuss these three dimensions of…
