Jens Steinwachs; Helge Martens – Science Education, 2025
Addressing student conceptions is crucial in science education. Therefore, teachers should be able to notice and interpret situations, in which student conceptions are part of the complex classroom interactions. This study analyzes the skills known as professional vision using an interpretivist research paradigm and a sociocultural perspective.…

Lucietto, Anne; Russell, Liza; Schott, Emily – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2020
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is a frequently discussed subject, as are the students who study it. Not so frequently discussed are the educators that teach and interact with students daily. A great deal of research has been done on the characteristics of STEM students, including who they are, how they learn, and the need…

Hermanns, Jolanda; Keller, David – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In this paper, we describe a study on tasks following the construct of school-related content knowledge. We know from previous studies that such tasks were rated by the preservice chemistry teachers as important for their future profession. Those studies were conducted in a traditional course on organic chemistry which was organized around…

Michalsky, Tova – Teachers College Record, 2020
Background: Self-regulation in learning (SRL) represents a major topic in educational research. Nevertheless, there remains a gap in the research concerning how teachers can incorporate SRL into the classroom. This study focuses on the Professional Vision for SRL (PfS) method, which aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice so that…
