Endang Purwaningsih; Wasis; Suyatno Sutoyo; Ahmad Suryadi – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2024
This study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate an instructional design model to enhance the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of physics student teachers. Model development is accomplished in five stages over two years: 1) problem identification, 2) preliminary identification of the product and design concepts, 3) preliminary theories and…

Voroshilov, Valentin – Physics Education, 2015
If a person has "a problem" to solve and knows the solution and just has to apply it (retrieve it from memory and re-act), it is not a problem--it is a task; if a person does not know the solution and has to create it--this is a problem. Using this language, there are only two situations: (a) one has to perform a task; or (b) one has to…

Luckie, Douglas; Harrison, Scott H.; Ebert-May, Diane – Advances in Physiology Education, 2011
Using visual models is common in science and should become more common in classrooms. Our research group has developed and completed studies on the use of a visual modeling tool, the Concept Connector. This modeling tool consists of an online concept mapping Java applet that has automatic scoring functions we refer to as Robograder. The Concept…

Kuo, Rita; Lien, Wei-Peng; Chang, Maiga; Heh, Jia-Sheng – Educational Technology & Society, 2004
This paper proposes a methodology to calculate both the difficulty of the basic problems and the difficulty of solving a problem. The method to calculate the difficulty of problem is according to the process of constructing a problem, including Concept Selection, Unknown Designation, and Proposition Construction. Some necessary measures observed…
