Information technology for understanding Science (it for us)
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
The principal aim of the IT for US Project is to present teachers with a vision for the use of ICT in science
teaching which exploits the qualities of software tools for developing conceptual understanding of scientific ...
System dynamics modeling: from mechanics to chemistry
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
In this paper, we discuss a contribution toward the use of analogical reasoning by explicit system dynamics
modeling of physical processes. The relational structures found in simple models are transferred to an example ...
From promising approach to regular Curriculum - educational innovation in Mechanics at dutch upper secondary level
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
The Dutch curriculum for mechanics is being revised with a focus on educational approach rather than on content.
By integrating effective designs from small-scale research projects and using cyclical feedback from teachers ...
The design and development of an ICT-enhanced Module concerning density as a property of Materials applied in floating / sinking Phenomena
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
This research is part of a project designed to promote children’s interest both in Science and scientific careers. The
project focuses on the specific domain of Materials Science (i.e., the materials around us, their ...
Modelling and inquiring sound attenuation: design-based research about an ICT enhanced Unit on materials science
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
In this paper we present preliminary results of a design-based research about a teaching/learning unit on Sound
Attenuation, which is part of a international research-based curriculum project on Materials Science. The ...
Teaching and learning about Electromagnetism in high school: addressing issues of relevance and Epistemic practice
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
Electromagnetism presents an interesting topic for teaching and learning of physics in high
school. On the one hand, the corresponding phenomena are mostly outside the range of
student experiences and relevance to every ...

Technical Schools in Cyprus, about light and its properties. In Technical High School Education physics is ...
Computerized use of thinking journey mode of instruction as a means to enhance classroom argumentation and listen to students' egocentricity and change of students' conceptual understanding
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
The combination of the computerized Digalo (Schwarz & de Groot, 2007) as a graphical tool for representing
argumentative moves in on-going e-discussions and the Thinking Journey (TJ) mode of instruction (Schur and
Galili, ...
