Xing, Hongjun; Zhai, Yanfang; Han, Sisi; Zhao, Yuping; Gong, Wenhui; Wang, Yuting; Han, Jing; Liu, Qiaoyi – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
Problem solving is considered one of the most critical competencies for life. However, many students may perform well in school yet cannot transfer the skills they learned in school to solve real-world problems, especially in science education. This study discusses the characteristics of the problem from the physics education perspective, based on…

Teacher Beliefs about Mathematics Teaching and Learning: Identifying and Clarifying Three Constructs
Schoen, Robert C.; LaVenia, Mark – Cogent Education, 2019
Scholars have long argued that individuals' beliefs influence their behaviors and the decisions they make throughout their lives. Focusing on beliefs as a cognitive construct, the purpose of this study was to identify several key beliefs about mathematics teaching and learning held by practicing elementary mathematics teachers. An iterative…
