In recent years, developing students' knowledge integration of specific topics through effective teaching methods has been a concern in science education. This study explored an alternative teaching method, which aims to help lower secondary school students develop their knowledge structure about buoyancy towards a logically integrated conceptual…

The purpose of this study is to see how the inquiry-based nature of science (NOS) argumentation (IB-NOSA) instructional model affects scientific literacy skills. This research used a quasi-experimental method. The design of this research is a pretest-posttest control group design. This study describes the significance of the differences between…

Teaching strategies play a vital role in improving learners' performance. This study investigated the effect of Guided Discovery Instructional Strategy (GDIS) on Grade nine learners' performance in chemical reactions and determined the effect of GDIS on gender. A quasi-experimental design with a sample comprising 75 grade nine learners was…

This study explored the heterogeneous nature of student perceptions of teaching methods and investigated the predictors at the student and school level using data from the "Analysis on the Qualitative Level and Actual Condition of School Education: Middle School in Korea." Additionally, the study compared the means of creative…

U.S. mathematics teachers face considerable pressures to keep up with pacing guides and to prepare students for standardized tests. At the same time, they are called upon to engage students in innovative exploratory activities and to incorporate new technologies into their lessons. These competing priorities pose considerable challenges. Against…

Difficulties of primary school students in solving mathematical problems that require problem solving or reasoning abilities indicate the existence of problems in the process of learning mathematics, because one of the purposes of learning mathematics in primary school is to develop the students' mathematical problem-solving skills. As a solution…

The purpose of this study was to determine the improvement of students' mathematical communication and disposition abilities taught with discovery learning models. This study us quantitative approach with the type of experimental research and the research design us pretest and posttest design type experiments. The sample was chosen randomly from…

This article presents a research project on the development of critical thinking of 6th graders in Caras-Severin county using an educational program based on learning by discovery and problematisation. The first stage of the research consisting in diagnosing the of critical thinking level of development of 5th graders in Caras-Severin county using…

The 5E instructional model is known for increasing student engagement and participation in the learning process. While viewing the video recorded lessons of middle school mathematics teachers, the researchers noticed teachers had a difficult time implementing the 5E model with fidelity. This case study explored the extent to which mathematics…

The main purpose of the study is to gain insight on to what extent taking a science methods course correlated with the science teaching pedagogical preferences of pre-service science teachers. The study recruited twenty K-8 teacher education students enrolled in lower division science courses at a large American public university, some of whom had…

This dissertation chronicled a multifaceted study utilizing the Historical, Philosophical, Societal and a Takeaway (HPST) Framework, an organizational tool used for document analysis. Utilizing a case study format, this research unpacked how a charter school teacher used HPST within her own ninth grade Advanced Placement World History class. As a…

The objective of this present research is to analyze the implementation of learning geometry through a scientific learning consisting of three aspects: 1) teacher's activities, 2) students' activities and, 3) the achievement results. The adopted approach is a descriptive-quantitative one and the subject is the Class VII students of Islamic Junior…

In longitudinal studies, measurement invariance is required to conduct substantive comparisons over time or across groups. In this study, we examined measurement invariance on a recently developed instrument capturing student preferences for seven instructional strategies related to science learning and career interest. We have labeled these seven…

Previous studies have demonstrated the pedagogical advantages of alternative teaching methods (ATMs) such as project-based learning, exploratory learning, collaborative learning, and technology-integrated teaching. However, their actual implementation rate is low. The research question is which factors most influence teachers to apply ATMs. A…
