Biological Principles and Threshold Concepts for Understanding Natural Selection. Implications for Developing Visualizations as a Pedagogic Tool
Lena A. E. Tibell,Ute Harms +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that making the thresholds tangible with the aid of appropriate kinds of visualizations will facilitate grasping of the threshold concepts, and thus, help learners to overcome the difficulties in understanding the central theory of life.

Teleology as a tacit dimension of teaching and learning evolution: A sociological approach to classroom interaction in science education
Helge Gresch,Matthias Martens +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a distinction between causal and teleological explanations with metacognitive considerations is made, and the authors suggest that focusing on the contrast between the legitimate use of teleological explanation in everyday life and mistakable teleological explaining in science classes may further help students to discriminate between teleological formulations and causal explanations.

Evolving germs – Antibiotic resistance and natural selection in education and public communication
TL;DR: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics threatens modern healthcare on a global scale and several actors in society, including the general public, must become more involved if this development is to be co-ordinated and sustainable.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative fit indexes in structural models
TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.
An Introduction To Probability Theory And Its Applications
TL;DR: A First Course in Probability (8th ed.) by S. Ross is a lively text that covers the basic ideas of probability theory including those needed in statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Categorization and Representation of Physics Problems by Experts and Novices
TL;DR: Results from sorting tasks and protocols reveal that experts and novices begin their problem representations with specifiably different problem categories, and completion of the representations depends on the knowledge associated with the categories.

Applications of Item Response Theory To Practical Testing Problems
TL;DR: The application of item response theory to practical testing problems is discussed in this article, where the authors present an example of the application of the theory to real-world testing problems in a practical setting.
