Applied research, carried out
to examine the possibility of improving
students’ understanding of heat phenomena
through multi-stage homework and
teacher-supported classwork assignments,
is described. These assignments, designed
within the theoretical framework of selfregulated
learning, enable students to overcome
errors and doubts from the individual
problem solving stage by peer interaction
and teacher feedback and to refl ect on
individual and group learning experiences.
They also promote the development of
students’ self-effi cacy, critical consideration
of information and error detection, making
individual and group learning processes
more visible to students and teacher. This
applied research was conducted in an
intact grade VII primary school physics
class in Serbia. Analysis shows signifi cant
progress in students’ understanding of the
anomalous behavior of water and their
ability to interpret a non-linear graph. The
level of self-refl ection outcomes depends
mostly on the quality of teacher-supported
group classwork. It is noted that students
should improve expressive and critical
thinking abilities.
Key words: graph reading in school physics,
home physics experiments, inquirybased
homework, self-regulated physics
learning, textbook error detection.
