Book Synopsis The effect of teacher pedagogial content knowledge and motivation on learners' achievement and interest in physics by : Jennifer Ayamweogo
Download or read book The effect of teacher pedagogial content knowledge and motivation on learners' achievement and interest in physics written by Jennifer Ayamweogo and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Didactics - Physics, , course: Philosophy of Science Education, language: English, abstract: This study investigates students' interest and achievement as well as how much teacher motivation and expertise predicts these things. It is thought that both student engagement and achievement are desirable results of classroom learning. Previous study has shown that teacher motivation is a key element impacting students' engagement, while teacher pedagogical content knowledge has been recognized as a strong predictor of student accomplishment. Until date, nevertheless, the majority of research has either examined knowledge or motivation (from both the teacher's and the students' perspective); it has seldom looked at both at the same time or examined the instructional mechanisms that are thought to enhance the alleged benefits of teacher motivation and knowledge. Using a multi-method approach to combine data from test instruments (teacher pedagogical content knowledge, student achievement), questionnaires (teacher motivation, student interest, student perceived enthusiastic teaching), and videotaped instruction (cognitive activation rated by observers), this study examines 48 physics teachers and their classes in Upper East and Upper West region of Ghana. The hypothesis that teacher pedagogical subject knowledge positively predicted students' achievement was supported by multi-level structural equation modeling; cognitive activation acted as a mediating factor in this relationship.

Book Synopsis Primary School Teachers' Content Knowledge in Physics and Its Impact on Teaching and Students' Achievement by : Annika Ohle
Download or read book Primary School Teachers' Content Knowledge in Physics and Its Impact on Teaching and Students' Achievement written by Annika Ohle and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2010 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One influencing factor on students' achievement is teachers' professional knowledge. The goal of this dissertation was to assess primary school teachers' content knowledge (CK) of physics, as one domain of professional knowledge, and analyse the impact of CK on the actual teaching and students' learning outcomes in the topic "tates of matter and phase transitions". A test assessing the teachers' CK and a video analysis scheme have been developed to describe the quality of teachers' instruction during the lessons in terms of learning process sequencing and content structure. Multilevel analyses showed a significant positive impact of teachers' CK on students' achievement depending on the way the learning opportunities were sequenced within the lesson, while no significant influence of content structure could be shown.

Book Synopsis Quality of Instruction in Physics by : Hans E. Fischer
Download or read book Quality of Instruction in Physics written by Hans E. Fischer and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2014 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports the findings from the tri-national video study Quality of Instruction in Physics (QuIP). Within the scope of the QuIP study, physics instruction was investigated in a total of 103 classes from-Finland, North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) and German-speaking Switzerland. The main aim was to identify typical patterns of physics instruction of the three samples and to investigate conditions under which these patterns are successful with respect to students' learning, interest and motivation. Among others instructional characteristics, the quality of students' practical work, successful patterns of sequencing, the subject matter structure and teaching strategies were investigated by means of analyses of video-recorded lessons. Variables external to instruction that were investigated included teachers' professional knowledge and students' cognitive abilities. The study followed a pre-post-design with data collection prior to and after an instructional unit on electrical energy and power. The results are well in line with the findings from large-scale international studies indicating a particularly successful instructional pattern in Finland. A comparison of characterisation of instruction in comparison between the three countries reveals important findings for the improvement of the teaching and learning of physics in secondary school education.
Book Synopsis Re-examining Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Science Education by : Amanda Berry
Download or read book Re-examining Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Science Education written by Amanda Berry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) has been adapted, adopted, and taken up in a diversity of ways in science education since the concept was introduced in the mid-1980s. Now that it is so well embedded within the language of teaching and learning, research and knowledge about the construct needs to be more useable and applicable to the work of science teachers, especially so in these times when standards and other measures are being used to define their knowledge, skills, and abilities. Re-examining Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Science Education is organized around three themes: Re-examining PCK: Issues, ideas and development; Research developments and trajectories; Emerging themes in PCK research. Featuring the most up-to-date work from leading PCK scholars in science education across the globe, this volume maps where PCK has been, where it is going, and how it now informs and enhances knowledge of science teachers’ professional knowledge. It illustrates how the PCK research agenda has developed and can make a difference to teachers’ practice and students’ learning of science.
Book Synopsis Effects of integrated learning: explicating a mathematical concept in inquiry-based science camps by : Louise Bindel
Download or read book Effects of integrated learning: explicating a mathematical concept in inquiry-based science camps written by Louise Bindel and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2018 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although various arguments for integrated learning of mathematics and science exist, empirical evidence that integrated learning is as beneficial as anticipated is limited. Therefore this quasi-experimental study investigates the effect of integrated learning of mathematics and science on eight student variables by comparing it to a control group. Results show that integrated learning is no miracle cure but has positive and negative effects on specific student outcomes. Whereas integrated learning effects students' view of the relation between mathematics and science positively, it effects students' scientific self-concept negatively. Thus, integrated learning should not substitute but rather complement disciplinary learning. Obwohl zahlreiche Argumente für das integrierte Lernen von Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften existieren, ist die vorteilhafte Wirkung integrierten Lernens begrenzt empirisch belegt. Im Rahmen dieser quasi-experimentellen Studie wird der Effekt integrierten Lernens auf acht Schülervariablen durch Vergleiche mit einer Kontrollgruppe untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass integriertes Lernen kein Allheilmittel ist sondern positive und negative Effekte auf bestimmte Schülervariablen hat. Während integriertes Lernen die Sicht der Schülerinnen und Schüler auf die Beziehung zwischen Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften positiv beeinflusst, hat es einen negativen Effekt auf das naturwissenschaftliche Selbstkonzept. Daher sollte integriertes Lernen nicht stellvertretend sondern ergänzend zu disziplinärem Lernen implementiert werden.
Book Synopsis Implementing Inquiry-based Learning in a Diverse Classroom by : Sandra Puddu
Download or read book Implementing Inquiry-based Learning in a Diverse Classroom written by Sandra Puddu and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2017 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis, an explorative case study, provides insights into the implementation of inquiry-based learning in an authentic classroom. For one year, a teacher was accompanied while implementing inquiry-based learning in a highly diverse class. In doing so, the observations focused on strategies for both scaffolding and dealing with diversity. Additionally, data reflecting students' views of scientific inquiry were gathered. The results show a successive implementation of inquiry-based learning through four phases supported by various scaffolding strategies. The views of scientific inquiry are discussed on both the class and the individual level. Finally, all these findings are brought together to paint a vivid picture of the investigated class. Die vorliegende Arbeit, eine explorative Fallstudie, bietet einen Einblick in ein authentisches Klassenzimmer, in dem Forschendes Lernen eingeführt wurde. Dazu wurde eine Lehrperson ein Jahr lang begleitet. Die Beforschung fokussierte auf Lernbegleitungsstrategien, den Umgang mit Diversität sowie den Sichtweisen der Schülerinnen und Schüler über Naturwissenschaften. Die Resultate zeigen eine schrittweise Einführung von Forschendem Lernen in vier Phasen, begleitet von vielfältigen Lernbegleitungsstrategien. Schließlich werden alle Ergebnisse zusammengeführt, um ein lebendiges Bild des untersuchten Unterrichts und der Personen zu zeichnen.

This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stetig hohe Studienabbruchquoten in den MINT-Fächern an deutschen Hochschulen, welche auch aus geringem Kurserfolg in einführenden Laborpraktika resultieren könnten, und die wachsende Kritik an der Qualität und Wirksamkeit ebendieser machen eine eingehende Betrachtung von Laborpraktika notwendig. Diese Studie untersuchte die Lernziele des Laborpraktikums Allgemeine Chemie für Lehramtsstudierende im ersten Semester sowie Faktoren für den Kurserfolg, um daraus Aussagen über den Stellenwert von Laborpraktika in der universitären Bildung, insbesondere für langfristigen Studienerfolg, abzuleiten. Dazu wurde ein theoretisches Modell zu Grunde gelegt, welches das Vorwissen der Studierenden und die Lernzielpassung zwischen Studierenden und Lehrenden als zwei entscheidende Faktoren für Kurserfolg berücksichtigt. Constantly high student dropout rates in STEM subjects at German universities, which could be the result of low course success in introductory laboratory courses among other things and increasing criticism about their quality and effectiveness necessitate these laboratory courses to be examined thoroughly. This study investigated the learning goals of the General Chemistry laboratory course for first-year students in teacher training and factors for course success in order to make statements about the significance of laboratory courses for university education, particularly for long-term study success. For this purpose, a theoretical model that assumes the students prior knowledge and learning goal alignment between students and their lab instructors to be two defining factors for lab course success was used as a framework.

Download or read book International Guide to Student Achievement written by John Hattie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Guide to Student Achievement brings together and critically examines the major influences shaping student achievement today. There are many, often competing, claims about how to enhance student achievement, raising the questions of "What works?" and "What works best?" World-renowned bestselling authors, John Hattie and Eric M. Anderman have invited an international group of scholars to write brief, empirically-supported articles that examine predictors of academic achievement across a variety of topics and domains. Rather than telling people what to do in their schools and classrooms, this guide simply provides the first-ever compendium of research that summarizes what is known about the major influences shaping students’ academic achievement around the world. Readers can apply this knowledge base to their own school and classroom settings. The 150+ entries serve as intellectual building blocks to creatively mix into new or existing educational arrangements and aim for quick, easy reference. Chapter authors follow a common format that allows readers to more seamlessly compare and contrast information across entries, guiding readers to apply this knowledge to their own classrooms, their curriculums and teaching strategies, and their teacher training programs.
Book Synopsis Understanding and Developing Science Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge by : J. John Loughran
Download or read book Understanding and Developing Science Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge written by J. John Loughran and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a growing interest in the notion of a scholarship of teaching. Such scholarship is displayed through a teacher’s grasp of, and response to, the relationships between knowledge of content, teaching and learning in ways that attest to practice as being complex and interwoven. Yet attempting to capture teachers’ professional knowledge is difficult because the critical links between practice and knowledge, for many teachers, is tacit. Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) offers one way of capturing, articulating and portraying an aspect of the scholarship of teaching and, in this case, the scholarship of science teaching. The research underpinning the approach developed by Loughran, Berry and Mulhall offers access to the development of the professional knowledge of science teaching in a form that offers new ways of sharing and disseminating this knowledge. Through this Resource Folio approach (comprising CoRe and PaP-eRs) a recognition of the value of the specialist knowledge and skills of science teaching is not only highlighted, but also enhanced. The CoRe and PaP-eRs methodology offers an exciting new way of capturing and portraying science teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge so that it might be better understood and valued within the profession. This book is a concrete example of the nature of scholarship in science teaching that is meaningful, useful and immediately applicable in the work of all science teachers (preservice, in-service and science teacher educators). It is an excellent resource for science teachers as well as a guiding text for teacher education.
Book Synopsis Classroom Management and its Impact on Lesson Outcomes in Physics by : Katharina Fricke
Download or read book Classroom Management and its Impact on Lesson Outcomes in Physics written by Katharina Fricke and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2016 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of research in the present study was to contribute to the clarification of physics-related learning conditions in the phase when students change from primary to secondary school stage. This purpose goes back to the divergent performance of German primary and secondary school students in the science part of international comparative studies which have placed teachers under considerable pressure to provide an effective working atmosphere in their classrooms including an appropriate use of time for engagement in physics-specific contents. There is a wide consensus that, in developing efficient classroom management strategies, teachers can guarantee a higher amount of academic learning time, which proves relevant not only for students' school performance, but also for fostering their motivation to learn (science). The present study firstly aimed at contributing to the demand of a theoretical conceptualization that regards classroom management in the overall structure of quality of instruction. Against this background, the study suggests a clear, detailed definition of classroom management with three subconstructs discipline, rules and rituals and prevention of disruption, but also addresses the desiderata in terms of subject-specific research on classroom management.
