The purpose of this study was to examine whether a simulation-integrated context-based 7E instructional strategy (SICBIS) could increase students' achievement in the chemistry of oxides, acids, bases, and salts (COABS) when compared to context-based 7E instructional strategy (CBIS), simulation-integrated conventional teaching approach (SICTA), and…

This paper reports lessons learnt following the pandemic, particularly the effect of key variables on learning mathematics in a context-specific blended learning environment, such as the availability and accessibility of technological resources and students' self-directed learning. The pandemic (COVID-19) caused unprecedented disruptions in…

The effectiveness of teaching strategies in improving student achievement in mathematics has been a topic of ongoing research. In Kosovo, vocational schools, especially those with an economics focus, face challenges in student engagement and achievement in mathematics, particularly in solving contextual problems related to economics.
