Sugano, Shalom Grace C.; Mamolo, Leo A. – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
Literature shows that there is very little research focusing on the analysis of the effectiveness of teaching methodologies on the affective domain of the students. Effective instruction should be designed to cater to the individualities of learners that holistically develop not only the cognitive but also the affective domain. This requires…

Thompson, Michael; Tsui, Stella; Leung, Chi Fan – Physics Education, 2011
A sweet spot is referred to in sport as the perfect place to strike a ball with a racquet or bat. It is the point of contact between bat and ball where maximum results can be produced with minimal effort from the hand of the player. Similar physics can be applied to the less inspiring examples of door stops; the perfect position of a door stop is…
