The purpose of this action research was to improve mathematical problem-solving abilities using the virtual 5E instructional organization for undergraduate math students who required to pass the criteria of 70% of the full score. This study involved thirty undergraduate math students from one university who were enrolled in mathematical…

Differentiation has become an indispensable teaching approach to meet the needs of diverse learners, and has thus garnered a lot of attention, particularly on a theoretical level. This has resulted in an abundance of differentiation models and frameworks. Despite the attention given to differentiation, most teachers still seem to struggle with…

Our aesthetic response to the Universe, and the complexity of concepts through which we understand it, are inherently bound together in how we meaningfully interpret its nature. Over millennia the abstracted and intangible concepts of science have been developed and communicated through a rich array of representations across a variety of modes.…

In the program-driven information age, programming education is concerned by the global education system, which makes the cultivation of children's programming ability become the focus of attention. However, there is no clear definition of programming ability and teaching model. Through the snowball method, 86 studies from 1980 to 2020 were…

The field of epigenetics is progressing rapidly and becoming indispensable to the study of fundamental gene regulation. Recent advances are redefining our understanding of core components that regulate gene expression during development and in human diseases. Scientific knowledge on the importance of epigenetic regulation is now well known and…

A teacher professional learning team (PLT) collaboration developed a primary (elementary) Grade 5 & 6, health and nutrition unit using the e5 Instructional model. Planning documents and interviews with the teachers indicated that they had developed a shared language and the teachers assumed that they were achieving the same outcomes in the…

Engaging students in scientific practices has become an important pedagogical component in STEM education, although its implementation in laboratories is still emerging. This paper uses three types of guiding questions to facilitate scientific practices in introductory and analytical chemistry laboratories. What makes our instructional model…

In recent years, studies have discussed how to introduce computational thinking (CT) concepts in mathematics education through mobile app development. In this study, the design of mathematics lessons based on the 5E instructional model to extend the idea of CT in a mobile technology environment (i.e., mobile CT) was investigated. Twenty-three…

This study presents a longitudinal analysis of the qualitative experiences and quantitative outcomes associated with integrative, interdisciplinary teaching in the context of a specific nursing course, "Pathophysiology" (NURS 337), at a public, 4-year, state college (now university). Spanning an 8-year period, from 2014-2022, the…

The study of teacher development and teaching interaction in physical classrooms has presented research problems, but with the development of classroom observation and video analysis, quantitative and visual analysis of the teaching process has been realized. In order to better understand the teaching models of teachers, this study is devoted to…

German is a pluricentric language with many standard and nonstandard varieties. Students of German are usually unaware of its rich regional variation, and studies attribute this to limited resources and instructional time (van Kerckvoorde, 2012). The "DACH" model of teaching German, which includes linguistic and cultural elements from…

Students with visual impairment have the same range of mental abilities as their sighted peers. However, these students experience academic failure, especially in courses in which visual themes are dominant, as they cannot use their sense of sight to process information sufficiently. One of the courses that students with visual impairment have the…

In response to the persistent challenges students face in mastering complex scientific concepts, innovative instructional approaches are needed to improve learning outcomes and engagement. Thus, this study presents the newly designed 6Ps-based instructional model aimed at enhancing organic chemistry education through a multimedia-supported flipped…

College teachers all too often still play Sage on the Stage -- lecturing to rooms full of passive and supposedly absorbed students. The cutting-edge opposite is still supposed to be the Guide on the Side -- facilitating wherever students themselves are already going, mentoring and coaching them along the way. But who says that these are the only…

The American K-12 system had serious problems even before the pandemic. Teachers were frustrated, and students suffered growing levels of anxiety and depression, not to mention the downward academic achievement trends of the past decade. A set of promising new schooling techniques has gained traction during the pandemic, which could bring joy back…
