متن کاملUsing dynamic geometry software to improve eight grade students’ understanding of transformation geometry
This study examines the effect of dynamic geometry software (DGS) on students’ learning of transformation geometry. A preand post-test quasi-experimental design was used. Participants in the study were 68 eighth grade students (36 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group).

متن کاملUncovering students’ misconceptions by assessment of their written questions
BACKGROUND Misconceptions are ideas that are inconsistent with current scientific views. They are difficult to detect and refractory to change. Misconceptions can negatively influence how new concepts in science are learned, but are rarely measured in biomedical courses. Early identification of misconceptions is of critical relevance for effective teaching, but presents a difficult task for tea...
متن کاملMisconceptions in Australian Students’ Understanding of Ozone Depletion
Declining levels of stratospheric ozone resulting from anthropogenic source gases is internationally recognized as one of the Earth’s most important environmental issues. In the last twenty years, global ozone trends show that concentrations are decreasing by 2-5% per decade in the middle latitudes. The societal concern is that with decreasing concentrations of ozone, the amount of the Sun’s ul...
