Measurement of multiple competencies of students is getting more emphasis in undergraduate education validating the need for work-ready graduates. We developed the objective structured laboratory examination (OSLE) to measure the practical competencies of final year biomedical science students. This paper analyses the impact of OSLE on students'…

In the last 30 years, there has been an ongoing discussion about the effectiveness of Professional Development (PD) programs, which aims to promote reform-based Science Education (SE). Among the many, different trends of reform-based science teaching, inquiry-based approaches hold a dominant role. This study shows how teachers' practices were…

In a context where current forms of governance and polity across many societies are engaging with 'platformisation', the paper argues that the utility and consequences of using a theory of pedagogy can provide a different way to explain how digital technology might 'determine' subjectivity. This paper describes the key process of how platforms…

Retailers are faced with the challenge of how many stores to operate in a potential or an existing market and where those stores should be located. Various factors influence this decision-making.

This study has been shaped to cover two objectives. The first of these is to describe in detail the use of dialogic teaching in the field of Turkish reading comprehension, and the second is to determine the effect of dialogic teaching practices on reading comprehension success. The mixed-method design known as convergent design was used in this…

This article will review a wide variety of Physical Education articles as well as looking at Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) components to help physical educators understand key guiding principles for working with kids with ASD. Professionals can implement certain practices such as using positive reinforcement, setting up the environment in a…

The first purpose of this systematic review is to describe how empirical studies on the applications of the 5E instructional model are distributed according to certain variables. The second purpose is to determine how the 5E model has shown a trend in empirical studies in the transition from inquiry-based teaching to STEM education over the years…

This study presents a conceptual framework for embedding interdisciplinary learning approaches in a postsecondary science program in order to foster interdisciplinary science habits in students. The framework was developed through the lens of a multi-year interdisciplinary postsecondary science program that encompasses a series of courses in which…

The purpose of this study was to find out the influence of the integration sequence of interactive simulation on the construction of the scientific explanation of buffer solutions. This study was conducted with 30 pre-service science teachers. The control group was randomly assigned to study with lecture first and then interactive simulation-based…

Purpose: Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions were forced to close temporarily. Subsequently, online education replaced conventional classroom instruction, becoming the mainstream instructional method. This led to a significant change in lecturers' approaches in teaching translation courses. This study aims to…

Students' issues dealing with reflection tasks, especially with inclined mirror lines, are widely known. Previous research conducted with primary school students mainly focussed on task difficulty and students' outcomes, especially their errors of reflection. Little is known about which not obviously sustainable understanding of reflection leads…

Contribution: In the research presented in this article, a procedure for determining student workload has been designed, tested, and validated. This procedure also makes it possible to analyze how different teaching variables are affected by workload and to visualize the learning environment generated in the course. Background: When the…

This study aimed to evaluate science teachers of gifted students who participated in a technology-based professional development program, how could be used the applications they learned in the program, and their use area for the gifted education. The case study was carried out with ten science teachers of gifted students. The data were gathered…

In the past decade, many scholars conducted research concerning cultural content, policy changes, and other issues in the field of EFL textbook evaluation in China. However, a limited number of studies shift their attention to task types used in EFL textbooks. This study employs Nunan's (1999) task taxonomy to investigate how task types are…

This paper outlines instructional strategies and course projects that demonstrate multiple means of engagement, representation, action, and expression, the essential principles of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The authors first share specific practices and examples related to each of the essential principles of UDL. Next, three projects…
