Teaching assistants have a very important role in physics education as they interact with students and guide them in different contexts. A multitude of research has focused on how to prepare teaching assistants to implement high-quality, research-based teaching techniques. Video clubs, i.e., working with a group of teachers to watch and discuss…

Pellikka, Anne; Lutovac, Sonja; Kaasila, Raimo – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2022
This study examines pre-service primary school teachers' (PSTs') possible selves in relation to science teaching and the ways in which these possible selves change over time. This longitudinal study adds to the body of knowledge by examining PSTs' possible selves at various time points throughout their teacher preparation: three PSTs, selected…

Nieminen, Pasi; Hähkiöniemi, Markus; Viiri, Jouni – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
This case study examined teachers' on-the-fly formative assessment conversations, that is, how teachers collect information from students' thinking and use that information to support their learning during teacher-student interactions. Previous studies have typically analysed whole-class discussions on the level of speaking turns, and have…

Primary science is important for pupils as individuals and for society: amongst many other reasons, it can help children to understand and reason about themselves and the world, enable them to live healthy lives, and make informed choices. It is important to understand how to best organise, teach and assess primary science. Whilst several reviews…

Shruthi Venkatesh Reddy; Anna-Leena Kähkönen; Josephine Moate – Journal of Teacher Education and Educators, 2024
Teachers are increasingly expected to incorporate Project-based learning (PBL) pedagogy to teach science. While teachers' definitions and challenges in the use of PBL are widely studied, very few studies focus on the development of a teacher's knowledge of the use of PBL over multiple projects. The current research is an in-depth case study aimed…

Lehesvuori, Sami; Ametller, Jaume – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Despite rapid changes in education, science classrooms will remain central forums where fragmented pieces of information are brought together to construct coherent knowledge as concepts and explanatory scientific storylines. There is limited work stressing the importance of the interplay between how content is communicated through pedagogical…

Kääntä, Leila; Kasper, Gabriele – Classroom Discourse, 2018
Using multimodal conversation analysis, this article examines how students strive to resolve non-understandings through requests for clarification during teacher-fronted physics lectures taught in English in Finland. The findings provide new insights on the sequential environments in which students launch the requests (i.e. between or during…

Tatiana, Shubina; Hanna, Järvenoja; Kristiina, Mänty; Jouni, Peltonen; Sanna, Järvelä – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
This study explored the situational interest and emotional valence of 13-year-old students (N = 94) participating in a five-session science course. The relationship between students' situational interest and emotional valence and their individual interest was also studied. During each session, students participated in a collaborative learning…

Partanen, Lauri – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2016
The aim of this study was to apply current pedagogical research in order to develop an effective course and exercise structure for a physical chemistry thermodynamics course intended for second or third year university students of chemistry. A mixed-method approach was used to measure the impact the changes had on student learning. In its final…

Kervinen, Anttoni; Uitto, Anna; Juuti, Kalle – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
Fieldwork is an important part of biology as well as science and biology education. However, teachers perceive several reasons for the limited use of fieldwork in schools. Further, outdoor education is often organised as a single fieldtrip guided by outdoor educators, and little research has been done on fieldwork as a regular part of formal…

Arvaja, Maarit; Sarja, Anneli – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This study explores how five pre-service subject teachers from different disciplines made sense of and characterized their teacher identity after completing their yearlong pedagogical studies. Leaning on the Bakhtinian dialogical approach and socio-culturally oriented discourse analysis, we examine how the students negotiated multiple voices in…

Nordine, Jeffrey; Sorge, Stefan; Delen, Ibrahim; Evans, Robert; Juuti, Kalle; Lavonen, Jari; Nilsson, Pernilla; Ropohl, Mathias; Stadler, Matthias – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
Recent research and reform efforts in science education have consistently stressed the importance of coherent science instruction, in which learning opportunities are connected and contextualized by meaningful phenomena, focus on a small set of core ideas over time, and generate a need-to-know about new ideas through a set of connected lessons.…

Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…

Lehesvuori, Sami; Hähkiöniemi, Markus; Viiri, Jouni; Nieminen, Pasi; Jokiranta, Kaisa; Hiltunen, Jenna – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
Whereas science is fundamentally a result of a dialogic debate, the authoritative approach has been conceived of as a fundamental part of school science. Dialogic interactions encompass the mutual appreciation of different ideas manifested in teacher supportiveness toward students and, in authoritative interactions, the focus is more on the…

Garcia Moreno-Esteva, Enrique; Kervinen, Anttoni; Hannula, Markku S.; Uitto, Anna – Education Sciences, 2020
In this article we discuss, as a proof of concept, how a network model can be used to analyse gaze tracking data coming from a preliminary experiment carried out in a biodiversity education research project. We discuss the network model, a simple directed graph, used to represent the gaze tracking data in a way that is meaningful for the study of…
