This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of inquiry-based learning (IBL) on improving students' conceptual understanding in science and mathematics. The study systematically reviewed 12 empirical studies with 14 effect sizes involving 786 students across various countries, educational levels, and disciplines. These studies were selected…

This article examines the impact of implementing a didactic strategy rooted in inquiry-based learning on the development of pro-environmental behaviors. The study considers the Learning Approaches and Performance Levels achieved by 108 students aged 13 to 16 from a public rural educational institution in the Department of Meta, Colombia. This…

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…

To address the changes that exist in the educational field, educators and curriculum developers are in constant search for innovations to keep up and foster alongside this timely educational revolution. In this case, this study emphasized the integration and parallel use of Phenomenon and Project based learning methods in High School General…

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of "Canva-assisted PjBL-STEAM" learning model to improve students' creative thinking and collaboration skills. This type of research is "quasi-experimental" with "Noneequivalent Control Group Design" with "pretest" and "posttest" forms.…

Scientific modeling is a fundamental tool in STEM education that facilitates the understanding and explanation of complex phenomena. This study examines the effects of the STEM Modelling Design Thinking (STEM MDT) compared to the STEM Project Based Learning (STEM PjBL), particularly in the context of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), in…

A quasi-experimental group comparison experiment was conducted to improve the conceptual learning of rotational kinematics by 11th grade students of a technically-oriented high school in Argentina. The experimental instruction complemented the original Tutorials in Introductory Physics activities with the PhET simulation Ladybug Revolution.…

Background/purpose: Practical work is a key component of science education that can contribute to comprehensive learning and scientific literacy. This study presents the results of an Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) approach using a DNA extraction practice with 4th-year secondary education Spanish students. The findings highlight significant…

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between knowledge absorptive capacity, listening, and multiple intelligences. Data were collected and analyzed from 79 students at Tainan First Boys' School and Anping Junior High School. An experimental design was implemented, dividing participants into two groups: a didactic instruction group and…

Background/purpose. Innovative thinking and meta-skills are needed to solve difficult problems in the 21st century, but standard training techniques often fail. The fact that only 6% of pupils are innovative thinkers highlights a major educational gap. The GENICS learning approach (Grouping, Exploring, Discussion, Individual Activity, Combining,…

Computer Science (CS) Unplugged activities are designed to engage students with CS concepts. It is an active learning approach combining physical interaction with visual representation. This research article investigates the impact of CS Unplugged on students' understanding of the bubble sort algorithm. Algorithm visualization, traditionally…

This research aimed to: (1) develop interactive multimedia to enhance performance on the National Educational Test at the basic level in Mathematics, (2) develop teachers' competency in interactive multimedia utilization, and (3) investigate the effects of interactive multimedia on student learning outcomes. The study involved two target groups:…

This study examined the improvement of mathematical problem-solving skills and learning motivation among students taught using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Augmented Reality (AR). It also investigated the interaction between the learning model and students' ability levels to enhance these skills and motivation. A…

We investigated the effects of guided inquiry-based laboratory activities on the perceptions of the research skills and inquiry learning skills in science of 5th grade students. The sample of this study consisted of 38 students enrolled in a public secondary school located in the northwest part of Türkiye. This study is based on the non-equivalent…

Digital history-based project-based learning (PjBL) in history learning is a learning medium that can provide a special attraction for students who can improve historical concept skills and historical awareness. However, there are still many teachers who have not used it, so it is very important to study it. This research aims to analyze the…
