... for the phenomena and concepts to be studied ( Sengel and Ozden, 2010 ). For example, in another study, filtering unnecessary information reduced cognitive load and realistic representations of common optical phenomena looked familiar to students, thus helping the VL group to demonstrate major achievements compared...

... realist and anti-realist views currently takes place around the realism of unobservable entities, such as electrons, quarks, and others that make up the physical universe. Thus, discussing the objectives and values of physics is to analyze which epistemic practices allow us to understand these different...

... and color. The research was designed to examine any differences in the short and long term of preservice Spanish teachers’ learning light and color concepts when one experimental group was engaged with hyper-realistic optical simulations such as a coin immersed in water, a convergent lens, chromatic...

... apprenticeship with the research results of cognitive science to produce a framework for effective instruction. The overarching principle of cognitive apprenticeship is that learning must be situated in a context that is realistic to the student and authentic to the subject matter. Cognitive apprenticeship...

.... Here, the model also defines the rates of the macroscopic reactions, which regulate the entire simulation in a realistic fashion. Mass balances For the mass balances within the system, it is required to track the contents of each component throughout the reaction time. In this study, five solid phase...

... a realistic stance for all students. Answer (e) is more productive, answer (d) is more realistic, and—unlike for item 28—both answers yield 4 points. EBAPS item 28 Evolving knowledge (a) I agree almost entirely with Leticia. (b) I agree more with Leticia, but I think Nisha makes some good points. (c) I...

... of “the scientific method” arose in this debate. Subsequently, we turn to the nature of science (NOS) and scientific inquiry (SI) because an authentic and realistic image of physics research (i.e., its practices and methods) in physics teaching takes center stage (Sec. 10.3 ). The long tradition of the use...

... labs have the advantage of authenticity and realistic depiction of the phenomena being studied. For this reason, it is emphasized that both labs should be used in science teaching ( Scheckler, 2003 ). Additionally, an empirical study conducted on the effectiveness of virtual laboratories regarding...

..., or a summary of the main text. A figure can be a photo, a realistic drawing, a schematic drawing, or a diagram. Photos and realistic drawings often refer to everyday life or classroom experiments. Schematic drawings help students in the scientific processes of abstraction and symbolic representation...

..., researchers have to be realistic about the population(s) to which they have access. A research question asks what things might be measurable or observable, given the research idea, the research contexts, and the potential study populations available to the researcher. The research question must be focused...

... a discrete-time Markov chain and applied to calculate the PV system generation capacity. The parameters of the Markov model were then studied in depth to optimize them and obtain reliable synthetic data for ground irradiance. These data were fed into a hybrid PV–battery model to obtain realistic economic...

... in a commercial entertainment game and a specifically designed physics education game, the latter resulted in more learning gains ( Koops et al., 2016 ). Although the commercial game is more realistic, this brings along the complexity of the real world. On the other hand, special-purpose games may...

... about errors in textbooks, but the grant was not just a routine “fact checking.” Its purpose was to review and critique middle school physical science textbooks and high school physics textbooks regarding to: Scientific accuracy; Adherence to a realistic portrayal of the scientific approach...

... that “While textbooks from the first half of the 20th century to a high degree presented both scientific objects and experiments in realistic ways as a foundation for knowledge in physics, newer textbooks tend to present the same subject matter with a high content specialization by means of conceptual...

... be the implementation of research findings into national curricula and standards, in school books, or in individual teaching practices. The studies of our sample did not investigate the influence of research findings in any of these aspects of school life and school reality, besides conducting the research in realistic...

... focus on adopting a positive and realistic view of science and its affordances in resolving conflicts, critiquing argumentation, being open to changing one's thinking over time and offering argumentation based on one's own perspectives and stances. Take military physics research, for example. The APS...

.... Hence, the modifications mentioned by the teachers could result in changes in the argumentation developed in each thematic unit. We argue that unconsciously teachers' modifications might severely influence the text inherit logic of the concept presentation. VRs of both realistic situations of periodic...
