The main objective of this study was to explore mathematics teachers' perception on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The explanatory sequential mixed method with Likert scale and interview guideline was used as research tools for data collection. 50 mathematics teachers who were teaching at Higher Education were conveniently selected for the…

Text structure (e.g., left-to-right orientation) can bias later task performance by supporting scanning strategies on related tasks (e.g., scanning left-to-right when learning word pairs). The current study was designed to investigate how the reading habits of native Arabic speakers might affect the acquisition of English vocabulary in word lists.…

The ability to think creatively and self-regulated learning is very important in learning mathematics, in order to train students to develop their creativity.

The author wonders what band education might look like when…

Fractional distillation is part of the essential experimental techniques taught to first-year chemistry students, especially during practical organic chemistry work. The characterization of the distillate generally involves measuring the boiling temperature, the refractive index, or the infrared spectrum. In this paper, an unknown mixture composed…

The lever rule applies to any two-component system existing in a state of two-phase equilibrium. Here, several classroom demonstrations are described to help students understand liquid--liquid coexistence and the lever rule using a set of isobutyric acid + water + dye samples ranging in composition from water + dye to isobutyric acid + dye. The…
