We found 45 articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals since 2000 that specifically described teaching methods for GCE. The content of the articles was analyzed based on the categories of the teaching methods used and the revised version of Bloom’s taxonomy. Among the selected articles, collaborative and interdisciplinary learning, and problem-based learning were utilized in 38 and 35 articles, respectively. These were the most frequently used teaching methods, alongside a general combination of multiple teaching methods and teacher presentations. Developing collaborative and interdisciplinary learning skills, techniques for increasing environmental awareness, problem-centered learning skills, and systems thinking skills featuring the teaching methods were seen to promote GCL in 44, 40, 34, and 29 articles, respectively.

A qualitative phenomenology design was used in the study. Data was collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews comprising ten guiding questions. Three pre-service physics and three pre-service chemistry teachers participated conveniently in the study. While the pre-service chemistry teachers took a course regarding the CI explicitly taught, the pre-service physics teachers were not subjected to any information relating to the CI in their course. Data was analyzed by forming the codes and themes. Generally speaking, while the pre-service chemistry teachers think that physics concepts should be used in the chemistry lessons, the pre- service physics teachers believe that these two subjects’ concepts generally are not related to each other. Moreover, the participants had some difficulties in understanding the CI between physics and chemistry concepts. The possible implication for science teacher education and research is discussed. Keywords: conceptual integration, chemistry education, physics education, pre-service teacher education INTRODUCTION In constructivist view, students interpret the new knowledge according to what Correspondence: Mustafa Tuysuz, Faculty of Education, Secondary Science and Mathematics Education Department, Middle East Technical University, 06800, Turkey.

PUB DATE 1999-09-00 NOTE 10p.; Paper presented at the History, Philosophy and Science Teaching Conference (5th, Pavia, Italy, September, 1999). PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Chemistry; Educational Change; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; *Philosophy; Science Curriculum; *Science Education; *Science Education History; *Science History; Scientific Principles; Secondary Education; Teaching Methods ABSTRACT Traditional applications of history and philosophy of science in chemistry education have concentrated on the teaching and learning of "history of chemistry". This paper considers the recent emergence of "philosophy of chemistry" as a distinct field and explores the implications of philosophy of chemistry for chemistry education in the context of teaching and learning chemical models. This paper calls for preventing the mutually exclusive development of chemistry education and philosophy of chemistry, and argues that research in chemistry education should strive to learn from the mistakes that resulted when early developments in science education were made separate from advances in philosophy of science.

  • The Role of Mathematics in the Teaching and Learning of Physics
    Strand 2 Learning science: Cognitive, affective and social aspects THE ROLE OF MATHEMATICS IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF PHYSICS Andreas Redfors, Lena Hansson, Örjan Hansson and Kristina Juter Kristianstad University, Kristianstad, Sweden Abstract: This paper discusses the role of mathematics in physics teaching and learning. The intention and strength of science is to describe what happens in the real world by organizing explanations through theories and theoretical models. It has been widely suggested that learning in science is influenced by views about the nature of scientific knowledge. Furthermore, mathematics is an inherent part of theories and makes powerful predictions of natural phenomena possible. Ability to use mathe- matics to argue and prove results is central in physics. Students have been found to struggle with physics problems where they need to relate mathematically formulated theoretical models to the real world. This project has explored the role of mathematics for physics teaching and learning in upper-secondary school through investigations of relations made during physics lessons (lectures, problem solving and lab-work) between The real world – Theoretical models – Mathematics. A preliminary analysis indicate that there are some connections made by students and teacher between theories and the real world, but the bulk of the discussion in the classroom is con- cerning the relation between theoretical models and mathematics, which is in line with earlier research on problem solving. The preliminary results reported on here indicate that this also holds true for all the investigated organisational forms lectures, problem solving in groups and lab-work. A finalized and extended analysis will be published elsewhere.

  • Models and Modelling in Chemistry Education in the Higher Medical Education System Assos
    Science & Research MODELS AND MODELLING IN CHEMISTRY EDUCATION IN THE HIGHER MEDICAL EDUCATION SYSTEM ASSOS. PROF. DR. V. HADZHIILIEV Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Medical Faculty, Trakia University - Stara Zagora, Bulgaria; [email protected] Abstract: The objective of this paper is to consider the "classical" forms of training in higher medical school and try to give a new reading of the organizational forms of training, updated by the modern requirements addressed to the higher education institutions in Bulgaria, after adoption of the credit accumulation and transfer system. The compulsory training, which meets the requirements of the MILC, shall be conditionally made module A. Under this module, students attend both forms of training – lectures and practical exercises. The second group of activities builds on the knowledge and skills to be included in module C. This activity is built only on a type A activity already carried out, including free-elective and optional preparation in Chemistry. The formation of scientific competencies is carried out through direct scientific work, including literature review, searching for a suitable methodology for work, drawing up an experimental plan, reporting and analyzing the results of a real experiment (module C). This activity builds on the previous two and includes elements of reproduction and creativity. Keywords: medical pedagogy, models, modelling. Models and modelling. The word "model" has a Latin origin, derived from "modus", which means image, measure, ability. The initial use is in construction (architecture) to denote different types of samples. Its use in Mathematics began after the creation of Analytic geometry by Descartes and Fermat. In Natural sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics), the term "model" began to be used to refer to the object a particular theory refers to or it describes.
