This study analyses the effectiveness of directed vs. minimally directed inquiry-based instructional approaches in improving students' attitudes toward physics. It specifically compares the impacts of cognitively guided instructional strategy (CGIS) and Cubing instructional strategy (CIS) on student attitudes. Using a pretest--post-test…

Electronic teaching materials have an important role in improving the quality of learning, making learning more interactive, and making the learning process more flexible and productive. The development of the increasingly sophisticated era, technology, information, and communication have also developed and have an impact on learning media,…

The lecture approach remains a common teaching method in chemistry education. This study aimed to investigate its impact on students' attitudes towards chemistry, focusing on overall, cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. A pre-test and post-test control group design was employed. This study involved 30 first-year undergraduate…

Modules are teaching materials designed to be studied by students independently or with minimal guidance from educators because they are equipped with their learning instructions. This study aims to determine the feasibility of teaching materials for reproductive system disorders submaterial modules from the inventory of medicinal plants that…

The mastery of the ability to identify and describe plant morphology is an essential aspect of studying biology. The skill of describing plants can be developed through diverse learning resources, including textbooks and contextual materials. Therefore, this study aims to determine students' ability to describe the morphology of plants using a…

The research examined the effect of context-based comics on the grounded mental model (GMM) development of sixth-grade students. Fifty-nine students were included in the study, which was conducted with a quasi-experimental design. A context-based comic (CbC) was used to teach the experimental group, whereas the course was taught using existing…

Virtual Labs (vLabs) have been gaining popularity in high school and undergraduate education, but there are few studies looking at their use in graduate-level courses. In this study, we investigated the use of six Labster vLabs assigned as homework in a graduate-level in-person Genomic Methodologies course at the University of Toronto. This course…

A quasi-experimental group comparison experiment was conducted to improve the conceptual learning of rotational kinematics by 11th grade students of a technically-oriented high school in Argentina. The experimental instruction complemented the original Tutorials in Introductory Physics activities with the PhET simulation Ladybug Revolution.…

This study investigates the effectiveness of siproman digital comics as a learning medium to enhance critical and creative thinking skills in biology, specifically on the human reproductive system. Recognizing the importance of these skills in the 21st century and their current low levels among students, this research employed Educational Design…

Many educational institutions transitioned to digital distance-based learning and assessment formats in 2020 due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome--coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. This shift has often been associated with concerns about increased student cheating and heightened stress. In this study, we compared the major course…

Introduction: The research determined the effectiveness of Peer-tutoring Instructional Strategy (PTIS) and Experiential Instructional Strategy (EIS) on Biology students' academic performance and self-efficacy in schools. Methods: The research adopted a pre-test, post-test, control group quasi-experimental research design. The data collected were…

Achieving knowledge integration for deep learning requires students to construct well-connected knowledge structures by understanding and applying the central ideas of a concept. However, research on student learning in work and mechanical energy reveals persistent challenges in grasping fundamental concepts, particularly in connecting the…

To address the challenge of improving the understanding of chemistry concepts, particularly pH, this study explored the impact of integrating educational robotics on students' motivation and learning outcomes. A total of 160 3rd-year middle school students from a public school in Meknes, Morocco, participated in the study, which was divided into…

This study aims to determine the development and feasibility of biology magazine submaterial inheritance traits as a learning media for class IX junior high school. Engaging and effective learning media can increase students' understanding and interest in the material presented. The research method used is research and development (R&D) using…

Video instruction has been widely studied and is generally considered as effective as live instruction for teaching scientific concepts and procedures. However, there is limited research on the effectiveness of prerecorded videos for teaching more challenging content. This study conducted a controlled experiment on over 300 high school students to…
