Mathematics and spatial reasoning are inextricably linked. While this is increasingly recognised, a clearer understanding of how spatial reasoning improves your mathematics performance is needed. We sought to explore the role of spatial reasoning strategy use across a range of mathematics assessment tasks with Grade 7 and 9 students. Interviews…

This paper uses data from 10 at-scale field experiments in four countries to estimate the effect of inquiry- and problem-based pedagogy (IPP) on students' mathematics and science test scores. IPP creates active problem-solving opportunities in settings that provide meaning to the child. Students learn by collaboratively solving real-life problems,…

This quantitative study examined the frequency counts of Head Start teachers' verbalizations or teacher talk and the scores of such teachers in the Mediated Learning Rating Scale (MLERS) during interactions with diverse young learners (DYLs) of three sites in a Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The relationships between Head Start…

One of the greatest challenges in veterinary education is adequately preparing students with the clinical skills they need to be successful healthcare providers. Integration of simulation-based medical education (SBME) approaches into the veterinary curriculum can help address challenges to clinical instruction. The SBME model of learning aims to…

This collective dissertation contains the efforts of a group of curious, committed, and creative educators on the hunt for high-impact instructional approaches that empower and emancipate learners. Although each study within the dissertation is anchored in its own setting--and those settings represent a diverse collection of learning sites--a…

As contexts in schools and higher education become increasingly more diverse, engagement with human differences and different knowledges becomes essential. Institutions need to change their practices to respond to the different needs of learners, as well as valuing their knowledges and prospective teachers need to better equipped for these…

Utility-value (UV) interventions, in which students complete writing assignments about the personal usefulness of course material, show great promise for promoting interest and performance in introductory college science courses, as well as persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. As researchers move toward scaling…

The course of science is considered to boring and difficult course to be understood by students of science education program. The aims of this research are examine the effect of RMS learning model in mastering the students concepts; 2) examine the effect of difference academic ability in mastering students concept; 3) examine the effect of…

This article aims to explain the existence of Islamic boarding schools ("pesantren") in efforts to instill and develop character in students ("santri"). This is also the basis that "pesantren" is an alternative education for the advancement of the nation's civilization. In this qualitative case study, we examine a…

As a component of a course on geometry for preservice elementary teachers (PSTs), we derive area formulas for a variety of polygons including triangles, quadrilaterals, and both regular and irregular shapes whose areas can be measured empirically using decomposition. Decomposing a circle to justify why its area can be measured using the standard…

National contest "Lithuanian naturalist" 1st-2nd form students' team (15) performed task (from animate nature and people's living environment sphere) analysis was carried out. The attention was paid to students' natural science knowledge and understanding. The research was grounded on the attitude that this contest as a non-formal…

Grammar teaching is a highly researched area within applied linguistics. Views on what is effective when dealing with grammar shift from approach to approach. Since language teaching is a complex field, research and classroom practice have both challenged commonly held conceptions of what is effective. In fact, methods in English language teaching…
