Twenty-first-century skills are increasingly recognized as critical skills that today's students must develop to adapt to increasingly rapid world changes. This research aims to test the effectiveness of the STEM-EDELCY learning model to improve students' 21st-century skills. This research involved 285 junior high school students (aged 12-13) from…

Studies indicate that integrating digital tools into reading instruction significantly enhances student learning. The OK4R (Overview, Key Idea, Read, Recall, Reflect, Review) method goes beyond teaching reading techniques by fostering a cyclic process of reading and critical reflection. Through OK4R, learners develop both reading strategies and…

Classroom dialogue is widely used in mathematics teaching and learning, and if managed strategically, it will have productive benefits for mathematics achievement. However, dialogic participants often lack awareness of how dialogue could be constructed, and few studies show the characteristics of dialogic patterns in different stages of education.…

Learning theories are rarely considered in the design of conservation education programs in Mexico. However, if students are taught in a way in which they can easily relate, this could improve the educational experience through better attitudes toward the natural environment. The learning preferences of 354 Mexican children at the primary level…

The authors' objective was to study the role of error detection and retroactive self-regulation as determinants of performance in secondary education students. A total of 198 students participated in the quasiexperimental study, which involved a control group and two experimental groups. This enabled the authors to analyze the effects of both…

This experimental study explored the impact of representation + glossary label visuals on science outcomes in a sample of 174 Grade 7 English learners (ELs). Analysis of covariance results indicated that, regardless of English proficiency, ELs in both treatment and control conditions performed similarly on reading comprehension (p = 0.26) and…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 5E learning cycle model oriented instruction (LCMI) on 11th-grade students' conceptual understanding of acids and bases concepts and student motivation to learn chemistry. The study, which lasted for 7 weeks, involved two groups: An experimental group (LCMI) and a control group (the…

Subjects in a learning retention test showed in one instance that listening with a visual component was as effective as reading, and under another condition, listening with a visual component was superior to reading. (JD)

Opportunity to learn specific content as measured by amount of emphasis and exposure to that content relates positively to the amount students learn. (JD)

In a study of mastery learning involving student teachers, it was found that in intense, short-term instructional systems, less specific remediation is appropriate, while more detailed remediation is better when there are few time constraints. (Ed)

In a study of seventh graders playing concept and skill games in mathematics, it was found that grouping students according to prior achievement did not make a major difference in their learning. (JD)

It was found that those doing copying practice exercises achieved significantly higher posttest scores than those doing tracing practice exercises. (PCB)

Article describes two studies designed to develop an adequate level of reading comprehension for elementary students. A technique, known as an advanced organizer, is used. (RK)

A study of elementary school students investigated the effects of immediate feedback during a spelling pretest compared to the usual delayed feedback after dictation of an entire word list. Results indicated a small degree of difference between methods. (Author/DF)

For four- and five-year-old lower socioeconomic status children learning basic mathematics, more indirect teacher behavior and the active involvement of the student in the learning process are significantly more effective in facilitating student achievement than is a direct instruction/passive reception learning mode.
