The researchers analyzed the traditional Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) Institute professional development (PD) program as professional development can change teacher practice and improve student achievement. Researchers used the Garet et al. study which outlined the relationship between the six effective features of…

Guided notes in the form of teacher-prepared materials that guide students through the lesson with cues and space have been recommended as a possible aid to support student learning. The present study investigated the results of guided notes on the students' learning achievement, the quality of the students' notes, and the students' perceptions of…

The aim of this research was to investigate the synergistic effects of peer collaboration and graphic organisers (i.e. mind maps) in Hong Kong science classrooms. Over two hundred Grade Four (i.e. Primary Four) students were assigned to different pedagogical groups, namely, "individualised learning with mind mapping," "collaborative…

This study used a case study, one of the qualitative research methods, with the aim of developing guidance materials based on the argumentation-based science learning (ABSL) approach for concepts in the 6th grade unit "Sound and Its Properties" and to examine students' argumentation levels and conceptual understanding. The activity…

This paper details a literature review of mathematics vocabulary intervention studies for students with mathematics difficulty. The primary aim was to identify instructional practices that support mathematics vocabulary development. We conducted a database search to identify mathematics intervention studies either focused exclusively on vocabulary…

Background: Children with mild intellectual disabilities in Malaysia often lack structured, tailored sexuality education. Existing national resources are broad and not diagnosis-specific. This study developed and validated sexuality education guidelines and an activity kit for parents of children aged 4-12 years with mild intellectual…

The integration of sports-related contexts into mathematics education, along with the inclusion of guest speakers in classroom settings, is a widely acknowledged pedagogical strategy. This study employs a descriptive research approach to analyze a didactic activity conducted with 86 third-year students pursuing a Degree in Primary Education at the…

Drill-and-practice flashcard interventions are often used when students display delays in sight word recognition and word reading fluency. Sight-phrase interventions connect two to three words together to teach connected text instead of words in isolation. Although studies have shown that students can learn to read sight phrases through a…

The research objectives were to 1) study the current conditions, problems, and good practices regarding teaching and learning 2) develop a blended instructional model using problem-based learning with graphic organizers to enhance systems thinking skills in computational science for students in lower secondary school and 3) study the results of…

Formative assessments, such as exit tickets, are effective tools for enhancing student reflection and understanding. While prevalent in K-12 education, their application in higher education remains underexplored. This study investigates the implementation of exit tickets in an undergraduate Principles of Marketing course, aiming to evaluate their…

This study examined the effects of spaced practice on second language (L2) vocabulary learning under different learning conditions. One hundred fifty Korean learners of L2 English were divided into five groups: one control (no treatment) and four experimental groups based on learning condition (fill-in-the-blanks vs. flashcards) and spacing type…

Students with a TBI can present with a variety of functional impairments, such as fine motor and executive dysfunctions, which manifest in compromised written expression. The present study used brief experimental analysis (BEA) techniques to compare the effects of writing accommodations on the quantity and quality of writing of a high school…

Although many studies have shown the efficacy of using flashcard interventions to increase sight-word reading, very few have investigated ways to increase sight-phrase reading. In the current study, a concurrent multiple-baseline across students design was used to examine the effects of a tablet-based flashcard intervention on the acquisition of…

Opportunity gaps emerge even before children begin learning to read, and early-literacy interventions therefore stand to be of greatest benefit early, before disparities become insurmountable. One of the earliest influences on a child's language development is input from their parents, and research has identified shared book reading as an…

Education plays a vital role in addressing the current environmental crisis. Integrating ecoliteracy in teacher preparation programs empowers colleges and universities to promote a healthy biosphere by producing pre-service teachers (PSTs) who can develop an ecoliterate student citizenry. Connectedly, ecoliteracy must be taught to PSTs through…
