Erlina; Dylan P. Williams; Chris Cane; Hairida; Maria Ulfah; Azwa F. Wafiq – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
The range of abstract concepts encountered when learning chemistry and the inability of students to make connections between the macroscopic, sub-microscopic, and symbolic representations, used in chemistry teaching, are believed to be the main reasons for students' difficulty when learning chemistry. Prediction and determination of molecular…

Dina Altayevna Malgazhdarova; Gulzira Kabayevna Kenzhetayeva; Ismail Hakki Mirici – Novitas-ROYAL (Research on Youth and Language), 2024
A persistent issue exists in Kazakh higher education institutions regarding the nonsystematic approach to teaching grammar. Although some believe that grammar is acquired automatically, thus requiring no separate study, this sentiment may not be entirely accurate. Knowledge may sometimes be presented in an unsystematic manner, lacking structure…
