Abstract

In this study, the authors investigate the potential of integrating robotics technology and concept-based teaching approaches to enhance the learning of abstract Chemistry concepts, focusing on the periodic table as both subject matter and tool. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, the research employs descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection, including pre- and post-test experimental designs. Results suggest that combining robotics with concept-based teaching improves learners' deep understanding of chemistry concepts. The study highlights the promising benefits of integrating robotics technology and a concept-based approach for teaching chemistry, emphasizing the need for further research in this area.

Abstract

This study focused on two crucial chemistry concepts, chemical bonding and related reactions. It explored how learners may conceptually use the periodic table in their scientific understanding. Specifically, the study's goal was to ascertain the effect of the use of this tool on learners' conceptual knowledge and/or reasoning abilities during learning or knowledge construction. The study utilized qualitative methodology and was based on a case (the school). For the purposes of the experiment, the participating learners—learners in grade 11 chemistry—were split into two groups (control group and experimental group). The study's findings indicate relationships between learners' knowledge (re)construction of chemical processes and their applicability to the periodic table. Future research is suggested by the researchers on the links between learning conceptual change and teaching approaches using the periodic table.

Abstract

The two main chemical concepts that are the subject of this investigation are chemical bonds and related reactions. This research examines how the periodic table concept can help teachers improve science teaching. To help students understand the contents of the periodic table and the helpful information its settings provide students. This study looks at how teachers use the periodic table in class. The study focused on schools as a single case and adopted a qualitative methodological approach. Two physics teachers participated. It was found that according to teachers, the periodic table may impact how they use or ignore its use when teaching students about its content or as a framework for understanding material and chemical reactions. Therefore, the concept of the periodic table can help teachers improve the quality of teaching. There needs to be more in-depth research on the apparent relationship between teacher knowledge representation in chemistry and teachers' approaches to teaching using the periodic table.

Abstract

This article explores the impact of tool-method combinations on conceptual changes, comparing the use of interactive whiteboards (TFM-IWBs) and traditional blackboards (TFM-TBBs). These combinations are integrated with traditional teaching methods (TFM) for educational purposes, focusing on natural science topics in Grade 9. The study analyzes specific changes in knowledge representation using qualitative approaches and a quasi-experimental design. The results show student knowledge structure variations depending on the tool-method combination used. The TFM-TBB combination primarily affects declarative knowledge, while TFM-IWB more significantly influences procedural and conditional knowledge. Hence, there is an impact of tool-method combinations on conceptual changes. This research recommends further investigating how different tool-method combinations affect learning outcomes across various subjects and educational levels.
