Evidence¶

Jena 2015¶

Jena, A. K. (2015). Animation model to conceptualize ATP generation: A mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 3(1), 61-76. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1107841

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Pretest administration of the Oxidative Phosphorylation Concept Test to sixty B.Sc. students before any treatment. The article reports that "88% of students have different types of misconception" rooted in everyday-experience preconceptions; no standardized effect size is printed.

"Euclidean Distance Formula was used to analyzing and interpreting the various growing misconception levels among the students and found that 88% of students have different types of misconception those were rooted in preconception derived from everyday experiences of students."

Related Claims¶

• Misconception rate increased hierarchically from item 1 to item 15 of the concept test, tracked by Euclidean distance between item responses — related
• Students taught with the animation model significantly outperformed traditionally taught control students on the ATP generation post-test — related
• Children's apparently inconsistent answers about the earth's shape are largely explained by consistent use of alternative mental models — a broader claim this one bears on
• Multimedia-learning misconceptions are highly prevalent among student teachers, with the learning-styles misconception endorsed most commonly (84%) — related
