We investigated introductory physics students' mental models of sound propagation. We
used a phenomenographic method to analyze the data in the study. In addition to the …

We contrast previous views of transfer of learning with emerging perspectives in the field.
Based on the latter, we have adapted our previously developed analytical framework to …

The purpose of this study was to compare different conceptual change methods within a
topic on 'sound propagation'. The study was conducted with 80 grade 5 students (aged 11 …

In spite of advances in physics pedagogy, the lecture is by far the most widely used format of
instruction. We investigated students' understanding and perceptions of the content …

We investigated students' use of Newton's second law in mechanics and electromagnetism
contexts by interviewing students in a two-semester calculus-based physics course. We …

This study is aimed to investigate students' difficulties in learning wave based on research
literatures. They consist of eleven International and two national research articles. The study …

STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) education has received great
attention in recent years not only for promoting interest and learning in these areas but also …

The emerging field of urban ecology has the potential to engage urban youth in the practices
of scientists by studying a locally relevant environmental problem. To this end, we are …

In science new words might be “invented” to name or describe new processes, discoveries,
or inventions. However, for the most part, the scientific vocabulary is formed from words we …

Our previous research has identified that in order to describe sound propagation students
use two models that are fundamentally different: the Wave Model and the Entity Model …
