A more effective math education has never been more pressing than in today's world. However, it is no mystery that students continue to struggle with basic mathematics concepts, let alone more advanced math such as Pre-Calculus. Thus, in the present study, two Pre-Calculus math classrooms were randomly assigned to either a flipped classroom model…

The impacts of a technology-integrated formative assessment technique on students' conceptual and procedural knowledge in studying chemical equilibrium are studied in this study. To attain the purpose, a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest strategy nested with a qualitative study method was adopted. The study has three groups: two experimental and…

Intensive language programs have increased in popularity in recent years. They are perceived as a means to help current or prospective university students improve their language competencies and academic skills in their medium(s) of instruction in a short amount of time prior to enrolment and/or parallel to their degree courses. However, there has…

Despite proliferative use of anatomical virtual models, there are few studies exploring whether stereoscopic models help medical students retain information regarding three-dimensional (3D) relationships of structures. This pilot study examined first-year medical students' exposure to a virtual 3D stereoscopic pelvis model and their corresponding…

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by persistently high levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that interfere with functioning. Inattention is significantly related to lower reading outcomes, whereas hyperactivity/impulsivity alone is not. Strategies to Read Information Texts and Vocabulary…

The aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of using life wide learning approach on developing English language Fluency for prep. stage students in the official Language Schools. The study adopted the one-group pre-post experimental design, with a pre-post fluency test along with a triangulation method that integrates both…

We predicted that Arabic-speaking children with specific learning disabilities in reading (dyslexia) and spelling (in writing) benefit from a visuomotor-based intervention programme for the development of letter knowledge and the improvement of word and pseudo-word decoding as well as spelling (dictation). It was predicted that the mediation of…

Nowadays inclusive education is developing in Russian society. A great contribution to the study of the problem of teaching children and teenagers with disabilities was made by the following scientists: L.S. Vygotsky, L.P. Grigorieva, V.V. Davydov, A.I.
