Language, which is the main tool of communication that consists actions without understanding and explaining, has vital importance in every field of life. Mother tongue teaching is a process that enhances school-type learning in all disciplines starting from the primary education level. It is also an area that links to development of thinking…

In March 2020, schools across the country were forced almost overnight to shut their doors in an urgent effort to slow the spread of the deadly Coronavirus (Covid-19). Within weeks or even days, teachers scrambled to move their classes online, and schools rushed to ensure that students had Internet access and computers. For this May/June issue of…

The blended learning was a learning model that combines offline and online learning. There are two types of blended learning models used in this research, namely the flipped classroom model and the station rotation model. In these models, the teacher would use WhatsApp as a media for online learning. The purpose of this research was to determine…

Many students who enroll in introductory statistics courses do not have positive attitudes about the subject. A 2012 wide-ranging study by Schau and Emmioglu showed that student attitudes do not tend to improve after completing an introductory statistics course. However, there is a need for more studies about attitudes in introductory statistics…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using a blended learning method on ninth grade students' achievements in English and their motivation towards learning it. The sample consisted of 100 female students selected purposefully and distributed into two groups: experimental and control. The experimental group studied English…

Expectations for online distance delivery of higher education courses and programmes are increasing globally, begging the question, 'Does modality matter?' Pedagogic research comparing online and face-to-face learningdemands more examination, particularly synchronous delivery. The purpose of this empirical study is to determine whether the quality…

The study investigated the relative effects of two activity-based instructional strategies on students' attitude towards Physics practical in secondary schools. The study adopted the quasi-experimental design of pretest, post-test and control group. The sample for the study comprised 74 Senior Secondary two (SS II) Physics students who were…

Despite recent interest in online learning, systematic comparisons of online learning environments with traditional classroom environments are limited, particularly in the sciences. Here, we report on a systematic comparison of an online and face-to-face classroom for a sophomore-level, lecture-only introductory inorganic chemistry course that is…

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study is to understand student's opinions and perceptions about e-assessment when the assessment process was changed from the traditional computer assisted method to a multiple-choice Moodle based method. Background: In order to implement continuous assessment to a large number of students, several shifts are…

Computer-enhanced counselor education dates as far back as 1984, and since that time counselor training programs have expanded to include instructional delivery in traditional, hybrid, and fully online programs. While traditional schools still house a majority of accredited programs, the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related…

Many academics argue that 'we don't grow into creativity we grow out of it, or rather we get educated out of it.' This research work investigates the notion that the education system is to blame for a loss of creativity in adults. As a result of the attempts to stifle creativity in schools, subjects including Design and Technology (D&T) face…

Meta-analyses suggest that student learning outcomes (SLOs) are comparable across modalities of instruction. None of these studies examined how unmet student expectations (here, unexpected changes in course delivery) might increase perceptions of student--instructor-university psychological contract breaches (PCBs) and, ultimately, perceived SLOs…

Purpose: Morphological awareness (MA), the ability to reflect on and manipulate the smallest language units within a word, has been identified as an essential metalinguistic awareness to predict literacy development. In this study, we examine whether an online gamified English MA programme is more effective than physical face-to-face instruction…

This exploratory study builds upon the expertise of a panel of faculty, administrators, students, and instructional designers (IDs) who lived through the pandemic and dealt with the associated challenges firsthand. These participants provided insight on how to establish systems that would create successful online teaching and learning…

This quantitative causal-comparative research study addresses the question of whether a teacher's training background is related to a difference in their attitude toward educational technology. This study specifically targeted Montessori Early Childhood Educators during the COVID-19 pandemic and compared their scores on each of nine subscales on…
