Learners' choices as to whether and how to use visual representations during learning are an important yet understudied aspect of self-regulated learning. To gain insight, we developed a "choice-based" intelligent tutor in which students can choose whether and when to use diagrams to aid their problem solving in algebra. In an…

Background: Online collaboration tools have been identified as potentially effective means for enhancing student learning, motivation, and engagement in science education. However, their effectiveness in improving science education outcomes among middle school students remains uncertain. Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the impact of…

Project-based learning in visual arts lesson is an effective method to develop students' creativity, self-confidence and learning skills. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of project-based learning method applied in 7th grade visual arts lesson on lesson outcomes and attitudes compared to traditional teaching. The study was conducted…

This research was designed to examine the effect of guided inquiry-based learning (GIBL) integrated with enterprise education (EE) entrepreneurial competencies (perseverance, creativity, professionalism) on the part of 74 eighth grade Turkish students. A quasi-experimental design was used for conducting this research. The intervention process was…

The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine any correlations between an increase in knowledge from activities which utilize self-paced learning, inquiry-guided learning, and collaborative learning pedagogical strategies and students' intentions to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and computer science…

Taiwanese students learn Chinese from 3 years old using Bopomofo (Zhuyin Fuhao), but they still struggle with spelling and reading, even in middle school. Thus, we guided students still struggling to read Chinese text to use their logical skills and creativity to incorporate the Bopomofo phonetic alphabet into the Rummikub strategy board game.…

Based on empirical data, student learning outcomes on statistical material are not in accordance with the expectations of teachers so it is necessary to apply the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach. A CTL implementation can help students to understand concepts and skilled resolve issues. The research purpose is to see whether the…

The purposes of the study were to investigate the effectiveness of integrated 5Es of inquiring-based learning and gamification on grade 8 science learning achievement and to study students' attitudes toward science learning with the integration of the two principles. The participants were 40 eighth-grade students from a Thai public school. They…

A lack of understanding of how women perceive their learning continues to hinder efforts to design educational experiences that prepare women for STEM disciplines. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore women's perceptions of their learning from a middle school STEM program a decade earlier and other learning experiences they…

There is currently much conversation on the issue of the achievement gap as scholars, politicians, and educational leaders continue to grapple with educational inequity and underperformance of students in urban neighborhoods who are mostly Black and Latinx as compared with higher performing students, mostly white, in suburban neighborhoods. This…

This qualitative study explores how middle school students in the Western United States participated in a curricular unit that focused on action for socioenvironmental sustainability. Using inductive coding and building on prior research, I examined actions that students took during this sustainability unit and how students talked about action…

In this research, in the "Artvin gets Color with Science and Robotics-2" project, which was supported with the Project number 121B899 within the scope of the 2020/1 call period launched in the 15thyear of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBITAK) 4004-Nature Education and Science Schools Support Program,…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) represents the student-centered approach that focuses on encouraging learners to scientifically construct new knowledge. The study aimed to explain science teachers' and students' perceptions about applying IBL in a private school in Dubai. Furthermore, to explore the degree to which the science textbook of Grade 8…

Learning progressions are the latest tool to understand the ways science learning occurs and they underlie the structure and framework of the "Next Generation Science Standards". Prior research indicated a variety of ways to develop and validate learning progressions and learning progression's general positive impact on students' science…

This study explores the implications of the flipped classroom experiment in South Korea as a counter-proposal for the school innovation project based on the Korean educational context. Using Dongpyung middle school in South Korea for this case study, this paper focuses on how and why the flipped classroom impacts Korea's education culture. The…
