One of our favorite face-to-face teaching frameworks is "Launch, Explore, Summarize" (LES). However, transitioning LES activities to online settings challenged us to reimagine how learning and its interactions could be supported in this new environment. We explore our experience transitioning an LES lesson on the quadrilateral hierarchy…

The study aimed to explore teachers' perceptions and use of constructivist teaching approaches in Ghanaian junior high schools, specifically in the Sunyani-West Municipality. The research employed an explanatory sequential mixed-method strategy, with 254 teachers participating in the survey using the census method. Classroom observations and…

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…

This study investigates the effect of teaching enriched with astronomy activities and educational games on astronomy achievement in the 6th-grade Solar System and Eclipses unit. Fifty-seven students in the 6th grade of a secondary school in Türkiye participated in the study. Although the groups were formed randomly, since the students themselves…

Most primary school students, although they grasp the scientific concepts of heat convection at the macroscopic level, commonly fail to visualize those concepts. Therefore, our research aims to enact a constructivist teaching sequence (CTS) to restructure students' visualization changes, ultimately enabling them to synergize macroscopic and…

Computational Thinking (CT) skills are increasingly recognized as essential for junior high school students, especially in addressing the demands of the digital era. This study explores how CT skills--decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking--manifest in learning statistics based on students' cognitive abilities. A…

This case study examined a Bhutanese teacher, Pema's reflective practices and their effects on her beliefs and classroom practices over a sequence of four lessons sandwiching a professional development. Three instances of reflection (before, during and after each lesson) were analysed to determine the shift in her beliefs and practices. The result…

This study aimed to explore Cooperative Learning theories and practice by examining the relationships among three aspects: Experience, Practice and Perceptions. The data were from interview records from eight science teachers. As a student-centered active pedagogical trend, cooperative learning has become part of one of the most effective and…

Algebra is an important branch of mathematics which applies to many fields related to mathematics. However, many studies show algebra as posing problems even to the most gifted students. This phenomenon, therefore, necessitates more studies to be conducted in this area. As such, the study explored the types of errors that Grade 8 learners…

Aim/Purpose: This study presents some activities that integrate computational thinking (CT) into mathematics lessons utilizing GeoGebra to promote constructionist learning. Background: CT activities in the Indonesian curriculum are dominated by worked examples with less plugged-mode activities that might hinder students from acquiring CT skills.…

Education is critical in fostering sustainable development (SD) in a world that faces many environmental problems. The integration of indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) in technology education (TE) can enhance the realisation of SD goals. However, teachers' views on the integration of IKS in teaching technology towards education on sustainable…

This article proposes a comprehensive AI curriculum tailored for young learners aged 11 to 14, emphasizing a humanistic approach. We review other AI curricula proposals for children and young people and underline that they focus primarily on AI's technological benefits and on learning coding and logic. Our curriculum explores human cognition that…

Education is based on a process that attempts to profile individual behavior via learning. Although this process includes formal and informal dimensions, it could be suggested that both dimensions are effective on the behavior of the individual. Several factors affect the educational process. These variables are significant determinants that…

Game-based applications and strategies are effective solutions to contemporary challenges in English language learning. Kahoot is an online platform that assists learning in an untraditional but effective way. This probe examines whether the use of Kahoot in a Saudi English language classroom can boost the vocabulary acquisition of the…

Constructivist approaches in education prioritise learner-centred activities in which students construct knowledge through experiences and reflections. These methods emphasise active participation, collaboration, and problem-solving, aligning with modern educational goals that promote critical thinking and learner autonomy. However, its…
