The modern approach to teaching in schools is based on encouraging pupils' activity in learning about the natural and social phenomena; the pupil is an active participant in the teaching process. The "Nature and Society" subject curriculum emphasizes the use of ICT technologies and various teaching methods. The teacher, their practice,…

This study investigated the impact of two teaching strategies, conventional and drawing principle, associated with the use of Augmented Reality (AR), on the school performance of pupils in the 7th-year of primary school and the 10th-year of secondary school on volcanism learning. Compared to previous research, the novelty of this study lies in the…

Area should be experienced, not simply calculated. This task invites students to physically experience areas and the spatial relationships between them, as well as their own community.

In conversations about pedagogy, researchers often overlook how physical space and movement shape teacher sensemaking. This article offers a comparative case study of classroom videos using a dynamic visual method to map embodied interaction called "interaction geography." Our analysis proposes an integrative framework to study classroom…

The purpose of this research is to explore prospective teachers' perspectives on the physical arrangement of an ideal classroom as a learning environment. A phenomenological design was used in this study to reveal the views of prospective teachers about the components and features of an ideal, desired classroom environment. Fifteen teacher…

Augmented reality (AR) has become a popular platform in education, providing an interactive and engaging way to learn through manipulatable communication. AR technology can increase motivation and retention of vocabulary. This study explores the efficacy of an AR-based flashcard application to teach basic Tamil words to primary school students in…
