The research proposed to examine whether there was any significant correlation between students' question words mastery and their speaking ability due to the students' difficulty in asking information about someone' personal information. There were 28 students as the samples selected by using simple random sampling. This research used a…

This article discusses findings from an ongoing qualitative studies about the incorporation of popular culture in university-based professional education. The focus is on how popular culture can become a curricular resource to support learning about theory or concepts and contentious or sensitive issues, at a time when neoliberal trends of…

With the critical nature of socio-ecological challenges, the need to empower young people to generatively grapple with these science-related issues is crucial for developing their agentic citizenship. This paper reports on a primary science project that adopted a Socratic Seminar pedagogical strategy to enable student voice and collaborative…

Introduction: Individuals with visual impairments are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, perhaps in part because they sometimes do not have the same opportunities for hands-on learning as sighted peers. Methods: Twelve braille readers aged 11-16 years participated in a synchronous online hands-on…

Scientific inquiry is an inquiry-based learning approach that emphasizes student investigation of research questions and the utilization of scientific methods to address those research questions. One such method is experimentation, which is viewed as an open-ended problem-solving process that is mostly perceived by students as a complex procedure.…

Transdisciplinary thinking is crucial for addressing global challenges, yet standardized assessment tools for high school students are lacking. This study addresses this gap by developing and validating a transdisciplinary thinking scale (TTS) tailored for this demographic. Following established methodologies, the TTS was crafted through expert…

This qualitative study investigates how three teachers attend to and pedagogically support socioemotional aspects of fifth-grade students' learning during student self-directed inquiry projects called the "Kids Inquiry Conference" (KIC) using Spradley's domain and taxonomic analyses of classroom observation and interview data.…

Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is known to develop advanced cognitive skills, particularly in complex subjects like geography. However, integrating Spherical Video-Based Virtual Reality (SVVR) with IBL remains underexplored. This study proposed an SVVR-based IBL approach to enhance geography education for high school students in Thailand. A…

Misinformation on critical topics such as public health and climate change is a global concern. To address this, our project implements digital literacy (DL) by engaging biology and journalism students through multidisciplinary project-based learning (PBL). This teaching innovation incites collaboration and metacognitive learning, moving beyond…

As the food system, from production to consumption, has increasingly become complex, the need for food literacy among American school-aged children has also increased. Teaching and learning interventions using inquiry-based learning (IBL) can be used to improve food literacy. The purpose of this study was to determine how an IBL approach paired…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) in mathematics is a student-centered approach that encourages exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking, allowing students to actively engage with mathematical concepts and discover relationships through hands-on activities and collaborative learning. Despite the growing interest in IBL within mathematics…

Enhancing students' conceptual understanding and improving their inquiry skills and motivation for learning science are the goals of science instruction in learning environments. The current study investigated how different inquiry-based learning environments (regular classroom and computer-based environments) affect middle school students'…

The use of interactive learning methods is considered crucial in equipping university students with critical skills. This could successfully deal with, and address issues encountered in real-world contexts. It has been noted that most first-year university students often face challenges adjusting to university life due to their background. The…

Background: Fostering students' creativity is a key feature of education. While Chinese students score well on international measures of science attainment, their performance on measures of science creativity is less impressive. Purpose: To develop an analytical model for science classroom creativity in China and examine its likely applicability,…

Early childhood educator co-researchers and a pedagogist-researcher think together about the processes of collaboration created with a pedagogical inquiry research project rooted in pandemic times. We detail our imperfect practices of creating digital methods of pedagogical dialogue that emerged in response to COVID-19 policies that bounded our…
