Recognizing the crucial role of mechanical regulation and forces in tissue development and
homeostasis has stirred a demand for in situ measurement of forces and stresses. Among …

In this paper, we put forward a proposal for the design and the evaluation of teaching–
learning sequences (TLSs) on the greenhouse effect (GHE), relying on the educational …

Research shows that traditional teacher-and-content-centered education doesn't give
students good preparation in critical and creative thinking. This article presents a qualitative …

Inspired by Shulman's question'where do teachers' explanations come from?', this study
explores two issues: the extent to which student teachers (STs) of physics can detect …

Among the many decisions to be made in their teaching practice, physics teachers must
decide how to explain each particular phenomenon to students. This study explores student …

The kaleidoscopic lens applied to this chapter explores how science is learned through
different epistemological approaches by diverse cross-disciplinary content. Digitalisation in …

The recent reintroduction in the Italian high school curricula of civic education, especially
concerning sustainable development, opened the field to the design, implementation, and …

The distinction between pressure in a liquid and in a gas is often treated in a cursory way, or
not treated at all, even in university level textbooks. Most texts fail to point out the relation …

The aim of this investigating is to obtain an insight into how physics teachers, who teach the
Lebanese curriculum, understand teaching critical thinking. It also aims at discovering which …

In this paper we present recent work of the physics education group at the University of
Pavia, some of which in collaboration with other researchers. The unifying trait of research in …
