A Teaching Intervention Module (TIM) on optical spectroscopy was designed in the theoretical framework of the Model of Educational Reconstruction. This study illustrates a proposal for a conceptual survey related to the TIM implemented in three classes of N = 50 high school students (17-18 years old). We focused the survey on the mechanism of colours’ formation and the interpretation of...

Multiple choice questions are a common teaching and evaluation tool in large-enrolment introductory physics classes across North-American universities. Unfortunately, they do not provide students with the opportunity to formulate their own ideas. Case studies developed for this project allow the students to collaborate on more open-ended scenarios that cover the most fundamental concepts of a...

To face the current environmental and technological challenges, it is necessary to support and reform teacher training (for primary and lower secondary school teachers) at academic institutions in matters concerning energy. In this context we present the Erasmus project 'eˆ4', which aims to (1) create a higher education course with innovative resources for teacher training in the field of...

We present examples of lesson materials on quantum technology, currently under development, to be used as an introduction to quantum physics in upper secondary school aimed at students with a general STEM background. We expect that introducing students to quantum technology and how its applications impact their daily environment can be a fruitful starting point for developing some intuition...

Energy is both a concept of everyday life linked with strong societal issues and an abstract scientific concept particularly complex to teach. Teaching energy requires the use of scientific school models and is facilitated by the use of energy chains. Through guided interviews, models and associated chains proposed by academic trainers (in-service education) have been clarified. These models...

Pre-service physics teachers should be prepared for diagnosing students’ conceptions within the physics classroom. This demand is met by a seminar implemented in the teacher training program at the University College of Teacher Education Styria. Within this seminar, participants work with video vignettes and conduct micro-teaching sessions. The focus of this study is to investigate the impact...

Environmental, societal and economic trends due to climate change require the promotion of socioscientific decision-making (SSDM) in physics education. However, teachers have different attitudes and perceive multiple challenges about its implementation in their classroom. Goal of this project is the research-based development of an in-service teacher training module to change hindering beliefs...

Although the weather accompanies our students every day and the technical basics are taught in various subjects, their understanding of weather phenomena is poorly developed. The difficulties students have in applying their knowledge of mathematics and physics to weather are complex. We would like to explore these difficulties and the reasons for this lack of understanding through various...

This contribution describes an analysis of student drawings concerning the topic of the greenhouse effect. We examined drawings from students at different levels of education before exposing them to a dedicated teaching-learning sequence. We also explored effective methods for analysing the drawings and looked for connections with the drawings and diagrams found in school textbooks and images...

The shortage of physics teachers is nowadays reality in many countries. It leads to the need for changes in pre-service teacher education. To support professional identity and building a professional community, a new experiential camp is offered to pre-service teachers. The contribution presents initial research focused on identifying students' expectations, relevance of content and applied...

We used the Lawson test of scientific reasoning to check the level of operational reasoning for 660 students entering the Faculty of Science of Palacký University in Olomouc. Besides the standard item and test characteristics, we also identified possible factors affecting the scores. Our results confirm there was a statistically significant difference between the women's and men's scores, but...

To enable students to take responsible action in the context of anthropogenic climate change, learning about scientific concepts underlying its mechanisms is essential. In general, the progression of learning processes is influenced by learners’ conceptions. Students’ conceptions of the scientific underpinnings of climate change have been investigated in various studies. To provide a broad...

Several studies have explored students' perspectives on understanding physics equations. This paper focuses on students' epistemological changes as they deal with the meaning of the wave equation. Prior to interventions, we assessed students' intuition about the wave equation and identified three epistemological beliefs related to this equation. We then designed tutorials that targeted...

Neurosciences significantly influence shifts in knowledge in many different fields nowadays. Results of neuroscientific studies help elucidate many phenomena, especially the ones occurring during the learning process. Neuroscientific subfield that transdisciplinary studies cognitive development is called educational neuroscience. Many theories proposing to promote education, in general, have...
