Latent class growth analysis was used to identify groups of students with distinctive emotional trajectories. Situational epistemic emotions (surprise, curiosity, confusion, and boredom) were measured using a four-point Likert scale after each POE cycle. Students' performance in sensemaking was evaluated based on their answers on POE items and categorised through qualitative content analysis. Data from 109 participant students were collected in six upper secondary physics classes. This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between emotions and development of scientific understanding by examining (1) how students perform in scientific sensemaking in the context of a three-cycle predict-observe-explain (POE) activity, (2) what kind of trajectories of situational epistemic emotions students show when making sense of the phenomenon, and (3) how students' performance in sensemaking is related to their emotional trajectories.
It was determined that the articles were mostly published in the Journal of Astronomy and Earth Sciences Education, and According to the results obtained, it can be said that the interest in the subject area has been increased after 2011. As a result of the analysis, the number of articles on the specified years, the average number of citations per year, the most published journals and the most prominent authors, the citation burst values of the authors, the countries, and the cooperation states of the corresponding authors, the most cited articles, the word cloud, and the word tree structures are also examined in the subtitles of common citation and cooperation networks. In this context, all the data corresponding to "astronomy education" in the Web of Science Core Collection databases were taken from the WOS database and various analyses were carried utilizing the R-Studio program and all bibliometric data of the studies were obtained. A few studies have reported success in helping students shed their misconceptions, leading to promising recommendations for curriculum development and teaching.Īstronomy Education, Bibliometric Analysis, R-Studio This study aims to examine 152 articles in the field of astronomy education between 19 published in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOS) database by bibliometric analysis method. Some studies have found that few teachers are aware of their students' misconceptions or know what to do about them.

The finding that even college physics students have significant misconceptions about free fall underscores the importance of effective teaching at the middle and high school levels. Although a diversity of misconceptions are found at all age levels, in general children, between the ages of 7 and 9 progress from the idea that things fall because they're not supported to things fall because they're "heavy." Between the ages of 9 and 13, students begin to use the term "gravity," an unseen force, to explain falling, such as "gravity acts just on heavy objects," or "things fall because air is pushing them down." Surprisingly, many high school and college students who can successfully solve numerical problems involving gravity hold qualitative misconceptions similar to those held by much younger students. The body of research is organized by the nature of the findings, beginning with studies of the youngest children, followed by older students, adults, and teachers. The review begins with a brief historical sketch of how these ideas were developed in human history, followed by a summary of the relevant standards and benchmarks.
This first article concerns free fall-how and why objects fall when they are dropped.
This article is the first of a two-part review of research on children's and adults understanding of gravity and on how best to teach gravity concepts to students and teachers.
