Despite emerging from legal scholars in the 1970s, the term Critical Race Theory is currently at the forefront with increased attention focused on its framework and its use to explore and analyze racism in education. While this has led to school districts examining structural racism and making equitable changes, a subsequent backlash has also…

J.; Sandoe, Peter; Lund, Thomas Boker – International Journal for Educational Integrity, 2022
Plagiarism and other transgressions of the norms of academic integrity appear to be a persistent problem among upper secondary students. Numerous surveys have revealed high levels of infringement of what appear to be clearly stated rules. Less attention has been given to students' understanding of academic integrity, and to the potential…

Lara-Steidel, Henry – Theory and Research in Education, 2022
Writing in 2011, Philip Kitcher worried in 'Public knowledge and its enemies' that flaws in the dissemination of public knowledge would lead from a state of widespread ignorance to active resistance against expertise and more. Today, we seem to be living in the world Kitcher predicted, where a wide range of facts ranging from the results of…

Edo, Sri Imelda; Tasik, Wahyuni Fanggi – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
Several studies related to mathematics understanding found that many undergraduate students lack some basic knowledge of algebra. They memorized only a few topics, formulas, and algorithms without understanding them conceptually, even though they could manipulate those limited number of points correctly or incorrectly. In comparison, most…

Housiaux, Andrew; Dickson, Bowman – Educational Leadership, 2022
Teachers spend tremendous amounts of time giving students feedback and grades. Their efforts fill weekends, late nights, and planning periods. The time they spend correcting student misconceptions, engaging with their thoughts, and coaching them toward deeper intellectual work is often deeply intertwined with their identity as educators. In their…

Mercanti-Anthony, M.-J. – Educational Leadership, 2022
One experienced school administrator shares two common misconceptions about teaching and learning that he once thought were the gold standards, then reflects on how adaptive leaders must continuously learn themselves, shifting their practices when and where it is necessary to provide the best education for students.

Santos Silva, Guilherme Paulino; Trindade, Neilo Marcos – Science Education International, 2022
This paper presents a perspective of how the radiation and radioactivity themes have been discussed at the high school level in several locations around the world. In this context, scientific journals, academic journals, theses, dissertations, and media materials were analyzed. Recent research has shown that the concern with the discussion about…

Deisenrieder, Veronika; Müller, Svenja; Knoflach, Bettina; Oberrauch, Anna; Geitner, Clemens; Keller, Lars; Stötter, Johann – Journal of Geography, 2022
The interactions of climate change and soils (ICCS) are scarcely examined in Climate Change Education (CCE). Analyzing the pre-conceptions of secondary school students (n = 421) reveals a high number of missing answers (48.2%), while residual participants responded with either medium (33.3%) or low (11.5%) complexity levels. The natural and the…

Baris, Çigdem Çingil – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
This research aims to determine the cognitive structures of secondary school students about COVID-19. In this research, a case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used, and demographic information and a word association test were the data sources. The study group of the research consists of 226 students who continue their education…

Reinhart, Alex; Evans, Ciaran; Luby, Amanda; Orellana, Josue; Meyer, Mikaela; Wieczorek, Jerzy; Elliott, Peter; Burckhardt, Philipp; Nugent, Rebecca – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2022
Think-aloud interviews have been a valuable but underused tool in statistics education research. Think-alouds, in which students narrate their reasoning in real time while solving problems, differ in important ways from other types of cognitive interviews and related education research methods. Beyond the uses already found in the statistics…

Riveros, Héctor G. – European Journal of Physics Education, 2020
Electric charges and magnetic poles are often confused in the minds of students. It is convenient to remind them that they only interact when they are in relative motion. The force F on a charged particle q moving with velocity V in a magnetic field B is given by F = qVxB. By Newton's Third Law, the force on magnet producing the field B is equal…
