Background/purpose: This study examines the mediating variables between instructional practices and the academic achievement of Grade 10 students in Social Studies in the Philippines. The research highlights the need for effective teaching methods to improve learning results and acknowledges students' difficulties in interacting with the subject.…

The current research implemented the Predict Observe and Explain (POE) instructional approach in mathematics and examined its efficacy in enhancing students' understanding of functions in terms of their ability to connect algebraic and graphical representations in optimization problems. Two grade 11 classes (40 students in total) and two grade 10…

This quasi-experimental study investigates the effectiveness of project-based learning (PjBL) and its integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) variant (PjBL-STEM) in enhancing scientific creativity among high school students. Conducted in an Indonesian senior high school, 69 tenth-grade students were assigned to an…

Geometry education is an important aspect of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, but it is often overlooked in K-12 education in the United States. Chunking strategy reduces the cognitive load demanded in the processing of information, and it has been applied as a testing accommodation for high school students with…

The role of virus is an essential material that is not discussed completely in the lesson because of the limited information presented in the reference book. The role of viruses is important to learn because it can increase knowledge and know the role of viruses in life. This research aims to (1) develop interactive learning media based on…

The study of English is compulsory throughout all 13 years of schooling in Australia and, while there are differentiated options in the senior years of school, these do not have the same parity of esteem nor transactional value. Previous research has identified patterns of enrolment in high versus low-status subjects, reflecting differential…

This research aims to explore both the individual and combined relationships between the use of GeoGebra and productive disposition with students' strategic competence. The use of GeoGebra involves teacher-led activities designed to assist students in managing and engaging with learning, serving as a tool to enhance mathematics learning outcomes.…

The study investigated the impact of guided inquiry-based laboratory experiments enriched instructional (GIBLEI) approach on conceptual understanding of tenth grade students in biology. The study included two purposively chosen schools and used a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent groups. A class was randomly assigned as the…

This study investigated the conceptual learning of the Business Studies Curriculum Recovery Plan (BSCRP) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Crisis resilience pedagogy requires teachers to incorporate resilience and flexible strategies to enable learners to cope with unexpected events (Chow, et al., 2020). Informed by qualitative research methodology,…

Purpose: Through the action research study, this paper aims to examine how e-portfolios improve students' critical, reflective and creative thinking as part of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Besides, this paper also explores how e-portfolios enhance students' speaking skills. The study is carried out to improve the current state by…

This study investigates the interplay between student reasoning and instructional strategies in trigonometry education. A qualitative case study was conducted to examine how Grade 10 students employ various reasoning approaches -- deductive, inductive, abductive, analogical, and algorithmic -- when solving trigonometry problems. Each approach…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of using a jigsaw learning strategy integrated with computer simulation (JLSICS) on the academic achievement and attitudes of students, along with exploring the relationships between them in the process of learning about acids and bases. Design/methodology/approach: The research…

A student's experience of mathematics in their school years has a lasting impact on many students through to adulthood. How we can improve this experience is a question of significance, as it directly impacts practice and importantly the futures of our students. This paper reports on a study exploring pedagogical approaches to support an increase…

The Interactive Whiteboard as a teaching tool, has been in use across schools and institutions in many countries. Bhutanese schools started using them for educational purposes in 2019. However, there is lack of evidence on their actual use and effectiveness in teaching physics to enhance students' learning. This study aimed to investigate the…

This study investigates the challenges faced by grade 10 teachers in Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) classrooms and their impact on learners' performance, particularly related to poor outcomes on the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examination. The study used convenience sampling to select five EGD teachers from two schools offering the…
