Introduction: As technology progresses, individuals will be increasingly expected to solve digital tasks. At the same time, many worry that a high use of connected devices will reduce young people's ability to perform with accuracy long cognitively challenging tasks online. Methods: We examine whether 15-year-old students' ability to accurately…

Students' success in physics problem-solving extends beyond conceptual knowledge of physics, relying significantly on their mathematics skills. Understanding the specific contributions of different mathematics skills to physics problem-solving can offer valuable insights for enhancing physics education. Yet such studies are rare, particularly at…

This study was aimed at improving the creative thinking and problem-solving skills of prospective teachers and to identify the relationship between those skills during science learning using the Ethno-STEAM approach. The quantitative study was carried out with a pre-experimental design. The research design was a one-shot case study. The research…

The study was conducted to ascertain if learning styles and corresponding teaching methods are factors that influence effective learning. The study employed a non-equivalent planned variation quasi-experimental design. The study's sample comprised 362 chemistry students from six senior high schools in Delta State. The students were selected using…

Ethiopia's education system has undergone numerous reforms to produce competent citizens capable of tackling real-world challenges. This study investigates the effects of a designed problem-solving method with metacognitive scaffolding in enhancing students' academic motivation and achievement. The study employed design-based research and…

This study integrated environmental issues as the initial problem to explore the process of problem-solving of high school students and proposes the concept of environmental problem-solving (EPS) to probe the interaction between high school students' scientific performance and EPS strategies. There were 139 high school students in Taiwan who…

This study aimed to reveal a relationship between high school students' 21st-century skills and academic performance in mathematics and science courses. The research was designed in a relational survey model. In the study group, there were 596 students. Descriptive statistics, the one-way analysis of variance, the Pearson correlation test, and…

TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) is a long-standing international assessment of mathematics and science at the fourth and eighth grades, collecting trend data every four years since 1995. Over 70 countries rely on TIMSS to monitor their education systems in a global context, benchmarking national curricula and…

In the virtual laboratory learning process, students' scientific abilities in solving a problem are very important to explore. This study aims to develop classroom-based authentic assessment instruments through virtual laboratory learning in chemistry to see an increase in students' scientific performance. The research was conducted at a public…

In this 21st century context, communities and nations cannot afford to lose the talents of any young people. Shifts in thinking and practices are needed: from one-dimensional definitions to varied talents and 21st century skills of creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication; from identification to assessment; from the goal of…

This study aimed to uncover common difficulties and possible areas for improvement by focusing on the approaches and errors made by 3rd-year undergraduate chemistry students in solving organic synthesis problems. The study employed a purposive sampling technique to select 112 undergraduate chemistry major students to participate in this study.…

The purpose of this article is to examine the effects of STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education practices carried out at the primary school level in Turkey on various learning outcomes. The systematic review method was employed to accomplish this purpose. This study examined whether 30 comparisons from publications…

Algebraic knowledge transfer is considered an important skill in problem-solving. Using algebraic knowledge transfer, students can connect concepts using common procedural similarities. This quasi-experimental study investigates the influence of algebraic knowledge in solving problems in a chemistry context by using analogical transformations. The…

The study was designed to investigate the impact of First Principles of Instruction (FPI) with computer animation and chart, and their functional effect on gender to acquire expertise in science in Junior High School (JHS). The content for the treatments was selected from JHS integrated science syllabus. The contents of the instructional media…

The study focuses on assessing the proficiency levels of higher education students, specifically the physics achievement test (PHY 101) at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). This test, like others, evaluates various aspects of knowledge and skills simultaneously. However, relying on traditional models for such tests can result in…
