Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arshad, Arniyuzie Mohd; Halim, Lilia; Nasri, Nurfaradilla Mohd – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2021
Self-regulated learning (SRL) studies have been widely researched, but there have been insufficient meta-analytical studies concerning the effects of self-regulated learning and achievement in science. This research, therefore, sought to perform a meta-analysis on the effects of self-regulated learning strategies on the achievement of students in…

Abdullah, Helmi – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2014
Nowadays, many researchers discovered various effective strategies in teaching physics, from traditional to modern strategy. However, research on physics problem solving is still inadequate. Physics problem is an integral part of physics learning and requires strategy to solve it. Besides that, problem solving is the best way to convey principle,…

Gok, Tolga – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2012
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of peer instruction on college students' conceptual learning, motivation, and self-efficacy in an algebra-based introductory physics course for nonmajors. Variables were studied via a quasi-experiment, Solomon four-group design on 123 students. Treatment groups were taught by peer instruction.…

An Overview of a Theoretical Framework of Phenomenography in Qualitative Education Research: An Example from Physics Education Research
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ornek, Funda – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2008
One or more theoretical frameworks or orientations are used in qualitative education research. In this paper, the main tenets, the background and the appropriateness of phenomenography, which is one of the theoretical frameworks used in qualitative research, will be depicted. Further, the differences among phenomenography, phenomenology and…

Chen, Nelson Cheng-Chih; Chen, Ching-Hao; Lin, Ming-chun – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2008
The applied mechanics education contest hosted by STAM (Society of Theoretical Applied Mechanics) has been held in Taiwan for several years. The contest pattern has been changed from a simple written test to an experiment-oriented test after the NSTM (National Science and Technology Museum) proceeded to hold the competition in 2005. The major…
