In this study, the effects of redesigned modeling activities on the academic achievement of 7th grade students and the student's view about these activities were investigated. We use explanatory sequential mixed method design that is one of the mixed research methodology for this investigation. The quantitative part of this research established…

Students' creativity and self-efficacy in solving mathematical problems remain low. Students with Field Dependent (FD) and Field Independent (FI)cognitive styles have different creativity and self-efficacy. One learning model that is believed to increase students' creativity and self-efficacy is Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. This study aimed…

The present study aims to investigate the effect of Project in Problem-Based Learning on students' scientific and information literacy in grade 8 studying in one of the private schools in Bandung in the human excretory system topic. A sample of 39 students in two classes was selected purposively from the five classes available in the school. An…

The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of learning materials through Problem Based Learning with Karo Culture Context (PBL-KCC), as well as improving students' mathematic problem solving ability and student self-efficacy. Learning materials developed were lesson plan, student book, student worksheet, mathematic problem solving…

The main purpose of this research is to determine the effect of STEM roles on the solutions to daily life problems and academic achievement. Mixed method was used in the study. An experimental study was conducted in the quantitative dimension of the research, while a fully structured STEM activity form was used in the qualitative dimension. 38…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of maker-centred learning methodology on the motivation of secondary school students towards science learning using a quasi-experimental design pretest-posttest. For this purpose, a sample of 200 students in eighth grade (110 boys and 90 girls) was selected from two different schools in Madrid…

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between students' metacognitive learning, critical thinking, scientific process skills, and academic achievements after the "Cell and Divisions" and "Force and Energy" units which have been processed according to different teaching methods. Furthermore, in this study, it…

Fredrich Froebel was a scientist, both in instinct and in training, and his life coincided with an important and dynamic period of scientific growth. I take this opportunity to delve both into some history and futurology to examine the heritage and legacy of his work. The usual of interpolation is of reading into data: where there exist some…

The study adopted a sequential mixed-methods approach to investigate student teachers' learner agency in a teamwork setting at Qatar University. In the qualitative phase, a total of 10 student teachers enrolled in a course adopting a STEAM pedagogical approach participated in in-depth interviews. Qualitative analysis identified seven sources for…

The STEM education emphasizes on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics with a major focus on engineering design process that engineers require in solving challenges or problems. Kolb's model provides micro-learning activities such as experiencing, sharing and processing, generalizing and applying. Therefore, both Kolb's model and…

With the inclusion of engineering disciplinary core ideas (DCIs), the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) position engineering as a new priority in K-12 science classrooms. This paper reports findings from the implementation of SLIDER, a problem-based learning 8th grade physical science curriculum that integrates engineering and physical…

The aim of this study is to identify the effect of creative drama-supported problem-based learning approach on self-efficacy ability of the students in the geometry classes. The pretest-posttest control group experimental design has been used in this research. The study group has been chosen from 59 students studying in 5/F and 5/E classes at an…

The increase in demand for college and career ready students has driven the need for education reform to ensure K-12 schools can support student learning across all content areas and grade levels. A STEM Certification process was established by the Georgia Department of Education as part of an effort to reform public school STEM education.…

The purpose of this study is to present an activity designed according to inquiry-based science approach and its implementation. The activity set up towards guided inquiry and was performed with participating 12 preservice science teachers and 24 eighth grade students. The activity started with a daily-life problem related to Yozgat Çamlik…

The current research is based on the phenomenological-qualitative paradigm. The goal was to examine the significant experiences, attitudes, and pedagogical practices of 17 Israeli student teachers in the science-teaching track regarding the use of project-based learning (PBL) as a pedagogical method, which they implemented in elementary schools…
