Data Collection And Analysis

This study aims to map the physics education research topics trending in the last three years in highly reputable international journals. This is a descriptive study that analyzed 511 articles using content analysis. All articles were selected from the top 3 academic journals: International Journal of Science Education (IJSE), Research in Science Education (RISE), and Science Education (SE). All three journals have JSRs above 0.8 with a quartile of Q1. Data collection and analysis were carried out from April to September 2020. The results showed that the top research topics in the IJSE journal were science learning: contexts, characteristics, and interactions with a percentage of 15.05%. Likewise, in the RISE journal, the topics of science learning: contexts, characteristics, and interactions also ranked first with a percentage of 16.30%. Meanwhile, the top research topics in the SE journal were STEM/STEAM, with a percentage of 13.28%. Based on the results, it can be concluded that overall, the top three research topics highlighted by physics researchers in highly reputable international journals from 2017 to 2019 period were science learning: contexts, characteristics and interactions, STEM/STEAM, and curriculum and assessment.

Teacher Understanding

Astronomy education research (AER) uses the systematic techniques honed in science education and physics education research to understand what and how students learn about astronomy, and determine how instructors can create more productive learning environments for their students. A recent review of the literature in this area revealed a number of articles that could be classified into four major categories: research into student understanding, research on instructional methods, research on teacher understanding, and descriptions of curriculum materials.

Continuous Increase

Quantum physics is an essential field of science education research, which reflects the high relevance of research on quantum physics and its technologies all around the globe. In this paper, we report on a bibliometric analysis of the science education research community’s scientific output in the area of quantum physics in the period from 2000 to 2021. A total of 1520 articles published in peer-reviewed physics and science education journals were retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus databases to conduct bibliometric analysis. This study aims to provide an overview of quantum physics education research in terms of scientific production, preferred publication venues, most involved researchers and countries (including collaborations), and research topics. The main findings point to a continuous increase in research output in the field of quantum physics education over the last two decades. Furthermore, they indicate a shift regarding the research foci. While formerly mainly papers on the teaching of quantum physics content were published, recently, an increase in the relevancy of empirical studies on the teaching and learning of quantum physics can be observed.

Strategickým cílem výzkumu, jehož součástí je tato přehledová studie, je reï¬ektovat vývoj a současný stav didaktiky fyziky (physics education research, dále PER). Cílem této studie je podat přehled metod sběru dat, a podpořit tak diskuzi o metodách výzkumu využívaných v této oblasti. K řešení výzkumného problému byl použit kvalitativní přístup a za metodu sběru dat obsahová analýza výzkumných sdělení. Za zdroj těchto textů byla zvolena databáze SCOPUS, přičemž analýza se omezila na relevantní časopisecké články, které byly publikovány v letech 2010 až 2014 a které jsou psány anglicky. Celkem bylo analyzováno 146 článků. Jako metody sběru dat jsou využívány v oblasti PER dotazník, interview a didaktický (zejména konceptuální) test. Dále se uplatňuje analýza nejrůznějších dokumentů, pozorování, příp. další metody. Přínosem pro další výzkum v oblasti PER, ať na mezinárodní nebo lokální úrovni, může být fakt, že v mezinárodním prostředí existují standardizované výzkumné nástroje, zejména konceptuální testy a různé dotazníky. Protože tato studie abstrahuje do značné míry od fyzikálního obsahu, mohou být uvedená zjištění přínosná i pro výzkumníky v oblasti science education research.
