This study investigates the effects of teaching mathematics supported by problem-posing strategies on fourth-grade students' problem-posing skills. This study also seeks to determine students' views about the process. To this end, the study employed an explanatory sequential design, a mixed method that incorporates collecting quantitative and…

The paper presents an assessment of the impact of teaching physics using the Inquiry Based Science Education (IBSE) method on the level of competence and knowledge of primary school students in Poland (second educational stage). The method is based on the teacher-inspired teamwork of students to solve experimental physical problems. This results…

The research nature of this study is to examine the priority of English as a foreign language in many non-English speaking countries in the context of globalization with a focus on the importance of English for cross-linguistic communication and interpersonal communication.

This single-case study, focusing on four education undergraduates situated as both writers and writing mentors in a literacy course and…

In this quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study we examined the effects of differentiated instruction (DI) in within-class ability groupings of 246 Montenegrin fourth-graders and their ability to solve algebraic equations. We assessed 2 parallel student groups at equal achievement levels to compare DI, in which teaching and work modes were…
