This study was conducted to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the Fermi problem approach in enhancing measurement estimation skills in mathematics. Employing an action research design, 24 seventh-grade students (13 girls and 11 boys) from a southern Turkish middle school were selected using criterion sampling. Quantitative data were…

Research suggests that troubleshooting activities that require students to reflect on teacher-crafted erroneous examples; i.e., erroneous solutions to problems that correspond to widespread naïve ideas, are beneficial to learning. One possible explanation to these beneficial effects is that troubleshooting activities encourage students to test the…

Purpose: This study investigated the effect of an expository strategy intervention called "Sketch and Speak" on strategy use and oral reporting of informational texts for students with language-learning disabilities (LLD). Method: Four adolescents with LLD participated in a single-case multiplebaseline-across-participants treatment…

Background/purpose: The current study aimed to identify the effectiveness of employing the multimedia-supported pentagram strategy on cognitive depth in social studies in developing students' cognitive depth. Materials/methods: The current study employed a quasi-experimental approach to study the Pentagram strategy in teaching Islamic Civilization…

The purpose of this study is to develop understanding of the relation between instructional practices and students' reading amount. As part of a larger mixed-methods study of reading practices across the curriculum in Swedish compulsory school, a selection of 14 classes from Grades 6 and 9 were observed over a total of 59 lessons. The data…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how educational robotics applications integrated with collaborative learning and entrepreneurship affected the innovative thinking skills of middle school students. An explanatory-sequential mixed-method design was adopted for the study. The study involved 40 seventh graders studying at a small-sized…

Background/purpose: The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of teaching based on multiple intelligences in acquiring chemical concepts and the ability to explain household chemical phenomena among basic-stage students. Materials/methods: The study employed an experimental method with a quasi-experimental design for two non-equivalent…

Despite the growing use of the Internet as a source of information for learning, few studies have focused on developing strategies to teach the skills of reflecting on and evaluating the contents and structure of the texts found online. In response to this, we designed and tested a method for teaching reading literacy based on an adaptation of the…

Background/purpose. Character education has become a central focus in Indonesia's national education policy. However, conventional teaching methods still fail to address the diverse learning styles of students. The Multiple Intelligences (MI) approach offers a promising alternative to improving reading literacy and encouraging character…

Social competence refers to having the behaviors, social skills, and intellectual capabilities needed to thrive in society. This includes the capacity to create, nurture, and maintain social relationships in various areas of life. This study investigates the effect of the Collaborative Constructivist Approach (CCA) to teaching social science on…

The article explores the application of Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences to homework and the potential of this approach to enhance the educational experience. Through a pilot application in philological subjects in Greek secondary education, the article presents the Homework Toolkit for Cultivating Multiple Intelligences, which…

This research aims to improve the numeracy abilities of secondary students after using the Labirin: the board game and students' perceptions of mathematics learning using the game. This empirical study research used a one-group pretest posttest design. The research population is all grade-8 students in one of the Islamic public secondary schools…

This study explored the effects of explicit and implicit epistemologically enhanced instructions probing 9th-grade students' personal epistemologies on their physics-related personal epistemology (PPE) and physics achievement in the heat and temperature unit. In the implicit epistemologically enhanced instruction (IEEI), different dimensions of…

The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental, nonequivalent comparison-group design was to determine if "How to Learn Math: for Students" (Boaler, 2018) had a statistically significant influence on eighth-grade students' mathematical anxiety and mathematical achievement. Participants included eighth-grade students (n = 28) in a…

The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to examine the perceptions of middle school teachers regarding differentiation of instruction for students with mild to moderate disabilities. Although there has been little documentation in the literature regarding instructional differentiation five factors that facilitate change have…
