Laumann, Daniel – Physics Teacher, 2018
In our everyday life, it seems that magnetic phenomena are restricted to ferromagnetic materials or electromagnetism caused by electric currents. From a physics point of view, we know that this everyday experience is contrary to the nature of magnetic phenomena. If one regards the magnetic properties of the elements of the periodic table in their…

Sermeus, Jan; De Cock, M.; Elen, J. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Critical thinking is one of the most desirable outcomes of education, yet it is often not well defined in curricula. Additionally, there are open questions concerning the domain specificity of critical thinking. In this work, we present two studies aimed at secondary education. Starting from Halpern's conceptualisation of critical thinking we…

Kontomaris, Stylianos-Vasileios; Malamou, Anna – Physics Education, 2021
A significant goal when teaching at the secondary education level is to present the generality of the procedures that are being used to describe a wide range of different physical phenomena. However, this approach is abandoned by physics instructors in many cases since the general mathematical background needed to present the above generality is…

Kocakulah, Aysel – Participatory Educational Research, 2022
The aim of this study is to develop and apply a rubric to evaluate the solutions proposed for questions about electromagnetic induction belonging to university second year pre-service teachers. In this study which has pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with control group, teaching of the topic of electromagnetic induction was applied to…

Straubhaar, Rolf; Wang, Jia – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2022
In this article, we explore the role of school leaders in magnet schools, a particular school reform model in the United States. To do this, we review the literature on magnet schools, and cite results from a study based on semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with participants affiliated with magnet schools who received federal…

Koca, Nazife Ozdes – Physics Education, 2022
This work is aimed to assess the performance of two groups of students from colleges of Science, Education and Engineering on the understanding of electricity and magnetism concepts. To conduct this assessment, the Electricity and Magnetism Conceptual Assessment (EMCA) test was implemented twice as a pre-test and a post-test for two calculus-based…

Nogueira, J. Robert; Alves, Ricardo; Marques, P. Carmona – Education Sciences, 2019
In this study we have attempted, firstly, to describe programming protocols developed for the teaching of an Electromagnetism course in the university degrees of Electrical Engineering and Energy Engineering, and secondly, to evaluate students' satisfaction with the simulation practices through MATLAB® programming. The main objective of the…

Cristina Worley; Meg E. Hines – Gifted and Talented International, 2023
Research in urban and gifted education has often highlighted the underrepresentation of certain student groups in gifted programs due to factors such as insufficient teacher training and educational quality. However, a significant factor contributing to this underrepresentation is teacher bias. There's a noted tendency of teachers to under-refer…

Pirbhai, M. – Physics Education, 2020
Measuring the "e/m" ratio is a classic experiment in the physics curriculum. We show that smartphones can reliably measure the magnetic field strengths involved. Moreover, phone cameras and the image-processing software Tracker can make determining the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron more accurate.

Mbonyiryivuze, Agnes; Yadav, Lakhan Lal; Amadalo, Maurice Musasia – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
We investigate students' misconceptions in electrostatics, direct current (DC) and magnetism which are important in electricity and magnetism. We developed and administered a multiple-choice questionnaire test to reveal students' misconceptions related to charged bodies, lightning, electric fields, electric potential, forces, DC resistive electric…

Prahani, Binar Kurnia; Rizki, Iqbal Ainur; Nisa, Khoirun; Citra, Nina Fajriyah; Alhusni, Hanan Zaki; Wibowo, Firmanul Catur – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2022
The magnetic field is a more complex and abstract physics subject than other physics subjects, causing students' low ability to solve problems. So there is a need for learning instruments to overcome these problems, especially when online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research creates and implements an online problem-based learning (OPBL)…

Duffy, Andrew G. – Physics Teacher, 2021
In the teaching and learning of physics, simulations have many applications. Simulations can help to illuminate concepts (such as the motion of electrons in electric or magnetic fields) that cannot usually be seen with the unaided eye, or to slow down things that happen over short time periods or at high speeds. They can also be used to help…

Ürek, Handan; Çoramik, Mustafa – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2021
The present study aims to find out the agreement rates of students on non-scientific ideas concerning the concept of magnet with a cross sectional survey. A total of 436 students studying in the final years of elementary (n=113), middle (n=110), high school (n=105) and university (n=108) participated in the study. Data were collected with the help…

Malgieri, Massimiliano; Calcagnile, Samantha; Zuccarini, Giacomo; Onorato, Pasquale – Physics Education, 2021
We report the results of a study on high school student difficulties in drawing the magnetic field lines for two magnets facing each other. Student difficulties were investigated by means of a predict-observe-explain activity. Our data confirm some of the previous results from the educational research literature on student difficulties in drawing…
