This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of Lecture-Based-Learning (LBL) and Cooperative-Learning (CL) in teaching 'classification of living things' to Senior High School (SHS) students in Tamale, Northern Region, Ghana. The study was conducted in two SHSs using two science classes offering Biology during the 2020-2021 academic year. A…

This study examined young learners' motivation and strategy use for Chinese-as-a-foreign-language (L2 Chinese) learning in New Zealand. A total of 1157 primary school students from 29 primary schools were recruited for the study. The results revealed that primary school young learners' overall motivation and strategy use for L2 Chinese learning…

This study applied expectancy-value theory (EVT) to examine the impact of diagnostic language assessment (DLA) on the learning activities of a group of Chinese learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). A model of test impact on learning was conceptualized by integrating EVT and DLA theories. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed…

The study endorses the idea of interdependence as a trait of autonomy, which dignifies low-achieving students' autonomy developed in English-language classrooms. A modified autonomy scale, adapted from Nunan's five levels of autonomy development, monitored low-achieving learners' autonomy. This action research explores the pedagogical design of…

To provide meaningful, high-quality learning experiences for students with diverse academic backgrounds, a critical consideration for mathematics educators is student engagement. The approach of team-based learning has allowed for an increase in student-centered class time and demonstrated positive results in tertiary education across multiple…

Studies indicate that integrating digital tools into reading instruction significantly enhances student learning. The OK4R (Overview, Key Idea, Read, Recall, Reflect, Review) method goes beyond teaching reading techniques by fostering a cyclic process of reading and critical reflection. Through OK4R, learners develop both reading strategies and…

This article presents an exploratory study aimed at analyzing the instructional design of learning personalization practices in three secondary education centers that promote connections between students' learning and/or their learning experiences in and out of school. We propose three dimensions for analysis, according to a constructivist and…

While some researchers have focused on the study of creativity in Making contexts, no work has so far documented learners' "collective creativity" as they engage in Making projects. Research on the assessment of collective creativity in Making projects and the relationship between collective creativity and project success remains scarce.…

Children learn language through participating in language-rich activities such as book reading. This longitudinal qualitative study explored the perception of 11 teachers and 78 kindergartners regarding children's participation in book-reading in order to understand how it is experienced by those most involved in this activity. Each participant…

Although students' STEM designs are widely admired by teachers, relatively little attention has been given to making use of these designs by incorporating a basic understanding of the market to create new values for communities. The E-STEM model was developed to promote entrepreneurial practices into STEM disciplines and prepare students for the…

The emergency of switching to an online learning model due to the COVID pandemic impacted the educational process in of schools world wide. We conducted an anonymous survey at the elite high schools in Serbia whose students won 45 medals at international Olympiads in mathematics, physics, and computer sciences in the last 4-year period…

Strong information literacy, collaboration, and argumentation skill are essential to success in problem-based learning (PBL). Computer-based scaffolding can help students enhance these skills during PBL. In this study, we investigated predictors of the quality of arguments high school environmental science students wrote in support of their…

To develop positive attitudes toward science, students should have the opportunity to experience enjoyment and enthusiasm within a conducive learning environment. This can be achieved through engaging in hands-on activities and participating in collaborative, student-centered activities. This study aimed to investigate the impact of developing…

This study examined a 6-week intervention in which fourth grade students either played fluency games or used pictorial flashcards to develop fluency with their basic multiplication facts. Students who played fluency games showed more growth than the pictorial flashcards, but an analysis of variance showed that there was no statistically…

Preschool children (aged 5-6 years) in Singapore learn science by discovering, inquiring, and investigating things that interest them in their daily lives. One approach involves learning science through building and exploring robots based on the Artec robotics curriculum, developed by an established Japanese education provider, Artec Co., Ltd.…
