Abstract

Power relationships exists among students in schools which are often characterized by violent and aggressive behaviors. The current study deals with the concept of bullying. In particular, through literature review methodology, it aspires to answer into the following two research questions; ‘what is the evidence for a relationship between aggression and bullying’ and ‘what can be done in order to deal effectively with bullying in schools. Regarding the first research question, there seems to be a close connection between aggression and bullying. Indeed, both proactive and reactive aggression can be found in bullying. Nevertheless, it is stated that while aggression is a normal feeling which should not be suppressed, bullying is socially unacceptable. It can causes hurt to the victim and therefore it must be contemned in the most explicitly way. As for the second research question, whole school policies which take into account the social nature of bullying should be adopted by educators. Moreover, peer mediation schemes are discussed and a balance argument is given for them.

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the mental representations of 5–6-year-old children about electric current. The research was qualitative in nature and was conducted using semi-directed individual interviews along three directions: An initial approach to children's mental representations regarding the presence of electric current in familiar environments, the place of its generation as well as the transport of it to houses. The findings showed that children tend to deal with the topic intuitively, mainly relying on their individual experiences. In addition, the findings revealed that despite the difficulties they face, young children have already formed some naïve mental representations about electric current. These results are part of a broader field of findings in the area of Early Childhood Education that studies the development of young children's thinking about natural phenomena and physical science concepts.

Abstract

Mental representations of 14-15 years old students about the light propagation time. Objectives: The study of students’ representations of physics concepts and phenomena constitutes a central part of science education research, as they play a decisive role in teaching. In the study presented here, we investigate the mental representations of 14-15 years old students about the light propagation time, before they were taught about it in school. Methods: The empirical data was gathered through an interview using three tasks which involved the evaluation of hypothetical situations. The research data included representations that cause difficulty in the comprehension of the position of a light source in relevance to the light propagation time. Findings: Most of students assumed that the identification of the light propagation time is strongly correlated with the large distance between the light source and the receiver. Conclusion: This study concluded that the arrangement of objects in space strongly influences the students’ thinking. Keywords: Light propagation time, mental representations, 14-15 years old students. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v8.i2.201806
