Students must develop higher order cognitive skills (HOCS) that allow them to think critically and use their learning in novel situations. However, little is known about how including HOCS in teaching and assessment affects students' perception of learning. We combine quantitative and qualitative data to determine whether the inclusion of HOCS and…

The Development of a Culture of Problem Solving with Secondary Students through Heuristic Strategies
Eisenmann, Petr; Novotná, Jarmila; Pribyl, Jirí; Brehovský, Jirí – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2015
The article reports the results of a longitudinal research study conducted in three mathematics classes in Czech schools with 62 pupils aged 12-18 years. The pupils were exposed to the use of selected heuristic strategies in mathematical problem solving for a period of 16 months. This was done through solving problems where the solution was the…

Yorek, Nurettin; Aydin, Halil; Ugulu, Ilker; Dogan, Yunus – Online Submission, 2008
In this study, pupils' constructions of some concepts related to biodiversity like classifying living things, variation in living things and ecosystem elements, and the concept of life were investigated in the light of constructivist theory of learning. For this purpose, a biological diversity conceptual understanding test formed by a series of…

Hatzinikita, Vassilia; Koulaidis, Vasilios; Hatzinikitas, Agapitos – Research in Science Education, 2005
The explanations of thirty primary pupils for changes in matter were recorded through individual, semi-structured interviews. The analysis of data pointed to the construction of a system for classifying pupils' explanations of changes in matter. A parallel analysis of data focused on the identification and interpretation of associations between…

Khourey-Bowers, Claudia – American Biology Teacher, 2006
The teaching of evolutionary theory has historically been problematic, often times marred with legal and moral battles. In recent years, state boards of education have prohibited or somehow compromised the role of evolutionary theory in school science. Consistent with the diversity of beliefs in contemporary society, preservice science teachers…
