Chemistry is an essential subject for most science-based undergraduate courses in universities; as such, it is a basic requirement for secondary school students aspiring to study science-related courses in universities. However, the subject has historically been linked to high failure rates and underperformance of students in secondary school…

The current study investigates the effects of outdoor classrooms on the third-grade male students learning in science lessons. A pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental field research are conducted using experimental and control groups. A study sample of 54 male students at a school in Shiraz was selected by the non-random multi-staged sampling…

Mixed results have been reported on the correlation between clickers and performance. This study investigates the usage of clickers in a voluntary context to answer in-class questions in a General Chemistry class. Scores on an internal chemistry placement exam were used to estimate cognitive ability, as a factor that students can no longer…

In any field, effective teaching and learning are greatly aided by information and communication technology, or ICT. ICT integration in education has received significant attention in educational system reforms, which emphasized it as an essential component in improving the learning process. Educational organizations have been particularly…

The Black student population underperforms all other demographic groups in high school science achievement. The purpose of this quantitative correlational research was to examine various factors influencing the science proficiency of Black students in selected Florida high schools. Florida's PK--20 Education Information Portal provided the…

The academic achievement of students is shaped by a complex interplay of personal, familial, and environmental factors. This study makes a novel contribution to the educational and public health literature by systematically investigating how various forms and contextual dimensions of physical activity relate to students' academic achievement…

Metacognition and curiosity play an important role in the educational process. Therefore, it is significant to examine their correlation with students' performance and satisfaction with classes. In order to examine whether the effect of metacognition and curiosity on physics performance and satisfaction with physics classes depends on gender, a…

Good metacognitive allows individuals to more easily adapt to changes in the learning environment and face challenges that arise. They tend to be more flexible in changing their learning strategies according to new needs and situations. The aim of this research is to determine the correlation between metacognitive and the academic resilience of…

Learning style (LS), either visual or verbal, has become debatable in the f ield of education vis-à-vis its relation to student success. However, it remains a valuable research theme for improving learning activities in the teaching of highly visual science fields, including biology, physics, and chemistry. Previous studies have primarily focused…

This study was performed to figure out the relationship between undergraduate students' 21st-century skills (21CSs), physics academic achievements, attitudes towards physics, and perceptions of physics teaching and learning. The study was carried out with 329 undergraduate students who had taken physics courses from Architecture-Engineering,…

This study investigates the relationship between study methods and exam performance in introductory physics courses. Data were collected over 3 years through surveys to examine students' study habits, perceived effectiveness of techniques, and the correlation between time allocation and exam grades. Results indicate that high-achieving students…

Graphic Organizers are visual and graphic display that illustrates the correlations between facts, terms, and ideas with a learning task. Integrating Graphic Organizers can enhance the efficiency of the teacher's delivery of lessons and students' learning. However, no study had been conducted in using graphic organizers in the process of teaching…

Chemistry academic engagement has received considerable attention for its role in enhancing students' learning and overall development. As a significant factor influencing students' chemistry improvement, research on chemistry academic engagement has emerged as a focal point. However, the methods to improve students' chemistry academic engagement…

This article reports on a controlled study to investigate the efficacy of incorporating explicit discussions about the duality of human reasoning and its implications for learning in physics instruction. The central goal is to probe to what extent, if at all, such discussions improve student performance on tasks that tend to elicit intuitively…

Student-instructor relationships play a crucial role in academic engagement and success, yet large lecture courses often limit direct interaction. This study investigated whether a brief, early-semester meeting with the instructor could enhance student engagement and academic performance. Students (n[subscript T] = 423) in a large introductory…
