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…

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…

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…

Problem framing is an essential yet under-explored aspect of problem-based historical inquiry. This study investigated how tenth-grade students in one AP US History class framed an ill-structured historical causal reasoning problem. Data included students' written brainstorms, students' responses to open-ended interview questions, and…

The current research implemented the Predict Observe and Explain (POE) instructional approach in mathematics and examined its efficacy in enhancing students' understanding of functions in terms of their ability to connect algebraic and graphical representations in optimization problems. Two grade 11 classes (40 students in total) and two grade 10…

A central objective of science education is to foster a profound comprehension of fundamental scientific principles among students. Research has shown that a highly integrated knowledge structure is a key factor in achieving a deep understanding. This research has developed a friction force conceptual framework to model students' different…

This study highlights the effectiveness of the observation sheet in directly analyzing urban facilities, identifying gaps, and assessing students' knowledge about urban space (the medieval city of Târgu Mure? and its surroundings), as well as the effects of direct observation on the elements identified by students within the urban space. The study…

This study evaluated the effect of using AR technology to develop environmental literacy (RQ1), motivation (RQ2), and perceived cognitive load (RQ3) among high school students. The sample of participants in this study included 155 10th -grade students in general education. They took a semester-long Natural Resource Ecology course. The participants…

Scholarly interest about how students learn and retain learned skills is vast. Cognitive psychologists have recommended various techniques used to increase retention. One technique, spaced retrieval practice, involves extending opportunities to retrieve course content beyond a customarily short window following the initial learning process. Our…

Different types of reasoning, such as intuitive, inductive, and deductive, are used in the generalization of figural patterns, as an important part of patterns in school mathematics. It is difficult to demarcate the constructive patterns where the regularity observed in the first few sentences is generalizable to the other sentences and each…

This study investigated the trends and correlations between ocean literacy (OL), marine science learning interest (MSLI), and marine science learning motivation (MSLM) in Taiwanese high school students in a three-wave longitudinal survey, with an OL scale used to assess students' MSLI and MSLM. A total of 428 valid responses were collected. The…

This quasi-experimental study investigates the effectiveness of project-based learning (PjBL) and its integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) variant (PjBL-STEM) in enhancing scientific creativity among high school students. Conducted in an Indonesian senior high school, 69 tenth-grade students were assigned to an…

Stereotype threat occurs when educational institutions remind us of the stereotype that men are more successful in mathematics and that women's mathematics achievement is negatively affected. In this study, the effect of stereotype threat on the academic achievement of high school students was examined. In the designed experimental study, there…
