Web-based multimedia annotation is a valuable tool for engaging learners with diverse materials. This study aimed to assess the effects of multimedia annotation on student performance, self-regulation, and cognitive load in an online learning environment. We developed and implemented a multimedia annotation system in an online biology class using…

Educational disruption brought by this pandemic changed the practices and challenged teachers and students to navigate the new learning landscape. This descriptive research study determined the practices and challenges of science teachers in teaching amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 54 science teachers in Zambales, Philippines, responded…

Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, all teachers' training courses scheduled for summer 2020 had to transition to online formats. For the arts-integrating course "Teaching Chemistry by a Creative Approach", this shift jeopardized the course's essence, since learning by this approach is based on creative, hands-on, and active learning. Here…

This study aims to discover the different techniques teachers use in delivering lessons in an online class. Teachers are still adjusting to the effects of the pandemic on the education system, particularly on the delivery of learning online. It was revealed that educators tend to test various techniques in teaching the learners' competencies.…

Teachers' technological, pedagogical, and collaborative skills are key factors in improving students' learning outcomes. However, some teachers are still unaware of how these skills can be used to enhance their teaching. The current study aims to assesses secondary school chemistry teachers' technological, pedagogical, and collaborative skills of…

During the periods of sudden transition to online education, the opportunity to make applications that might attract students' attention to the course has decreased even more. Although this deficiency tried to be eliminated with videos and simulations, it was not possible to ensure the active participation of students in some cases. In this study,…

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has changed not only people's daily lives but also the education system. The rise of e-learning all across the world has challenged both students and teachers to adapt to digital technologies and a novel learning experience on both sides. As if COVID-19 was not enough, many students were facing the alien…

The Spring 2020 semester students were faced with the challenge of adjusting how they learned in the middle of the semester, as the situation changed from instructors holding group office hours and study sessions for the upcoming midterm exams to faculty and students scrambling to gather their belongings before the impending lockdown. Immediately…

A qualified teaching method is hard to achieve without traditional classroom lessons. For learning purposes, students need to interact and influence each other, like being part of an osmotic process. They need to learn in a stimulating environment, developing the ability to manage conflicts and to compare opinions. How can this be possible during…

Web-based inquiry learning provides opportunities for students to take responsibility to regulate their learning. However, due to a lack of science inquiry-specific self-regulated learning (SRL) frameworks, there is insufficient understanding of SRL processes in inquiry-based science learning. This study aims to explore students' SRL patterns by…

By analyzing cases in South Korea, this study examined high school physics teachers' online teaching practices during the first semester of school lockdown due to COVID19. A total of eight physics teachers participated in this study. Data sources included observations of online classes, interviews with the teachers, and lesson materials. Data…

The COVID-19 pandemic has led teachers in the Philippines to rely on technology to provide and support continued education for K-12 students. However, it is not only technology, but also the interactive online learning environments crafted by teachers that impact student science learning. To support teachers to cope with pandemic teaching, the…

Online teaching and learning as an electronically supported approach relies mainly on the Internet as the medium for knowledge transmission. The utmost efforts are being made so that learning will be possible, even during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, while also maintaining academic integrity. In this paper, we discuss the major steps taken…

The acquisition of scientific knowledge through problem solving offers the possibility to consider different requirements for inclusive chemistry lessons. The architecture of the "model for inclusive chemistry teaching" (MiC) is designed in a way that teachers can derive concrete, planning-guiding assistance from it. Following this…

Enzyme kinetics is the study of enzymatic catalytic rates in biochemical reactions. This topic is commonly taught to life science students in introductory biochemistry courses during their undergraduate education. Unlike most other biochemistry topics, which focus on visual structures of biomolecules and their processes, enzyme kinetics is…
