This study aims to identify tenth grade students' attitudes towards vocational education in Jordan, as well as this attitude's relationship with the gender variable. The analytical descriptive approach was used to achieve the goals of this study. A questionnaire consisting of 25 items was created covering six fields: the professional field, the…

Writing a synthesis text involves interacting reading and writing processes, serving the comprehension of source information, and its integration into a reader-friendly and accurate synthesis text. Mastering these processes requires insight into process' orchestrations. A way of achieving this is via process feedback in which students compare…

Many studies have investigated students' attitudes toward engineering (ATE), but few have examined the changes in attitudes after attending an engineering design curriculum. This study analyzes these attitudinal changes in students attending an engineering-focused science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (EF-STEM) curriculum and…

The ability to accurately interpret mathematical functions is crucial for understanding complex physical and mathematical concepts. Differentiating isothermal from adiabatic change of state in p-V diagrams respectively graphs of indirectly proportional functions from graphs of power functions in x-y diagrams presents a common challenge for…

This paper analyses learners' common errors in simplifying algebraic problems. 102 Grade 10 learners from three rural schools in South Africa participated in the study. Following a quantitative approach, content analysis of learners' responses to algebraic tests revealed that while learners commit several errors in algebraic problems, encoding and…

This paper examines Grade 10 students' conceptions of proof in a secondary school in Singapore. Using a purposive survey of 9 mathematical items, proofs by 8 students for two items, one on Number and Algebra and another on Geometry and Trigonometry, were coded using Harel's proof schemes. The findings show that the students' proofs for the two…

The present study examined how friends' responses to each other during problem talk predicted depressive symptoms over time. Participants included 271 adolescent friend dyads (69 female and 69 male early adolescent dyads; 72 female and 61 male middle adolescent dyads; 66.4% White and 26.6% Black). The adolescents were observed discussing a problem…

The rise of social media platforms and subsequent lack of traditional gatekeeping mechanisms have enabled the proliferation of scientific disinformation. Users attempting to properly evaluate scientific information and disinformation are immensely obstructed by media communication mechanisms such as filter bubbles and echo chambers. Given the…

University entrance exams in Türkiye often generate significant test anxiety among high school students. This study investigates the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in reducing test anxiety among 10th-grade students. Employing a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, the…

The development of renewable energy technology is increasing rapidly, one of which is the nanofiber membrane, which has the potential to be an innovative material for various applications, including renewable energy. Its utilization in learning, especially STEM-based approach, to improve students' understanding of renewable energy and its…

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.…

Whilst a growing literature has documented the link between academic rank and educational progression, the effect of socioeconomic rank on these outcomes has been largely neglected. Using longitudinal data and exploiting the idiosyncratic variation in test score distributions across secondary school classes, I analyze the impact of within-class…

This study was interested in the level of correspondence between high school students' self-perceptions of academic competence and achievement. The objectives were to (a) identify different profiles of students in terms of correspondence between perceptions of general academic competence and achievement in language arts and mathematics, (b)…

Online teaching has long brought benefits and practical advantages for many levels. Along with the advantages of the flipped classroom (FC), the combination of online teaching in the FC has increased efficiency and improved student-learning outcomes. However, there are still too few research works to improve the effectiveness of IT teaching under…

Various features have been found hidden in the Pascal triangle. In this paper, some very well-known properties of the Pascal triangle will be presented, as well as the properties related to different extensions of the triangle, namely the Pascal pyramid. Given that in the textbooks of the tenth grade, respectively in the school, where we realised…
