Chemistry is an essential subject for most science-based undergraduate courses in universities; as such, it is a basic requirement for secondary school students aspiring to study science-related courses in universities. However, the subject has historically been linked to high failure rates and underperformance of students in secondary school…

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is expected to create a greater sense of presence that might improve students' laboratory learning experiences. However, little research has verified the influence of presence on students' perceptions toward immersive laboratory learning. The current study, which is based on the expectation confirmation model,…

The use of artificial intelligence is growing, but it's unclear how much it is expanding human knowledge. Peter W. Cookson Jr. discusses the potential of AI use for learning. He suggests that humans learn by making connections in ways that AI cannot replicate. The kinds of experiences that promote these connections require students to experiment…

This study aims at exploring the role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in scientific inquiry and giving some implications for teaching scientific inquiry by examining the interactions between secondary students and AI during the design of open-ended physics experiments. A generative AI assistant was developed to support this process and…

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…

Background: Enjoyment and epistemic emotions are essential in education as they drive learners to actively and persistently engage with learning material. Augmented Reality (hereinafter referred to as AR) is an emerging educational tool that offers unique opportunities for immersive learning experiences. By incorporating AR into the learning…

While scholars and public figures have positioned the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity for school reform, the response to this potential for change by teachers remains underexplored. In turn, we attend to the following research question: how do teachers at project-based learning high schools conceptualize the changes to education that have…

Educators are tasked with preparing students for college and beyond (Gómez-Pablos et al., 2017). Project-based learning can help achieve this goal (Gómez -Pablos et al., 2017). PBL engages students in real-world problem-solving activities that allow them to take ownership of their own learning and create real products (Zafirov, 2013). The problem…

This study served two primary purposes: (a) to explore students' perceptions regarding the utilization of technology in their classroom-based instruction, and (b) to provide an overview of the current use of technology in classrooms that encompasses all high school students. The significance of the study was to contribute to the body of research…

Background: Inquiry-based learning (IbL) has significantly contributed to science education, and this impact can be enhanced with technology. Augmented Reality (AR) offers 3D visualisation and interactive experiences, whereas Video-based Learning (VbL) provides narratives with visual and audio support. Both methods aid students in exploring,…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to identify publication trends regarding the implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) in junior high schools over a specific period based on bibliometric data; To analyze the most frequently occurring keywords in the PjBL literature for junior high schools to understand the main research focus; To…

Recent research in mathematics education shows that by exploring the properties of figures and making conjectures, especially through dynamic geometry software, students can better develop their understanding of concepts. Furthermore, comparing different geometric worlds and, within them, different representations enhances Euclidean knowledge. In…

Community-based Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a promising practice to improve secondary STEM education. In these projects, students design and conduct authentic investigations with community stakeholders and technical experts. The work culminates with a public display of authentic artifacts like evidence-based advocacy reports or engineering…

Computer-supported collaborative inquiry learning (CSCiL) has been proposed as a successful learning method to foster scientific literacy. This research aims to bridge the knowledge gap surrounding the role of peers as scaffolding sources in CSCiL environments. The primary objective is to explicitly implement peer assessment as a scaffolding tool…

The challenges in learning and teaching computer programming relate to everyone who needs to prepare others for the digital world. Learning and teaching computer programming is a challenge because it requires persistence and dedication. Nowadays, Computational Thinking is understood as an essential skill to overcome those challenges. In this…
