The objectives of this research are: (1) to develop a flipped classroom learning plan using inquiry-based learning on the topic of substance separation for Grade 8 students, to achieve effectiveness according to the 75/75 criteria; (2) to compare science process skills and learning achievement before and after implementing the developed learning…

In Eastern cultures, teaching is challenging due to students' increasing needs for autonomy and refusal to be controlled in traditional ways. Understanding the relationship between autonomy-supportive practices and students' learning outcome is essential for assisting teachers to create supportive learning environment to satisfy the needs for…

Predicting student performance in international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) is crucial for understanding educational outcomes on a global scale. ILSAs, such as the Program for International Student Assessment and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study, serve as vital tools for policymakers, educators, and researchers to…

Many educational institutions transitioned to digital distance-based learning and assessment formats in 2020 due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome--coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. This shift has often been associated with concerns about increased student cheating and heightened stress. In this study, we compared the major course…

The study was conducted to ascertain if learning styles and corresponding teaching methods are factors that influence effective learning. The study employed a non-equivalent planned variation quasi-experimental design. The study's sample comprised 362 chemistry students from six senior high schools in Delta State. The students were selected using…

Ethiopia's education system has undergone numerous reforms to produce competent citizens capable of tackling real-world challenges. This study investigates the effects of a designed problem-solving method with metacognitive scaffolding in enhancing students' academic motivation and achievement. The study employed design-based research and…

Background/purpose: Science education has gained more prominence as a means of educating students for the demands of a technologically evolved world. Understanding the variables influencing students' science achievement is vital for educational policymakers and practitioners. Materials/methods: The study used a hierarchical multiple regression…

Prior research has identified employee-related factors such as participation, morale, and shortage as important predictors of organisational performance. However, this relationship has not been extensively examined for educational organisations such as schools, colleges, and universities with large scale samples. In this study we used multiple…

This study investigated the effect of the science process skills-integrated inquiry-based approach (SPSIIBA) on grade 9 students' academic achievement in cell biology and their perception of SPSIIBA. The study used a mixed-method research approach with a quasi-experimental design. A total of 78 secondary school students participated in the study.…

The Society 5.0 era demands inclusive and effective education, yet diverse student needs remain unmet due to limited personalised approaches. The visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (VAK) model offers a promising solution to improve engagement and achievement, especially in biology learning at MAN 1 Kerinci, Jambi, Indonesia. This study aimed to…

Ineffective use of resources and suboptimal management at the school level can detrimentally affect human resource development and labour market outcomes. Therefore, efficiently managing human and physical resources is crucial to transforming school inputs into improved educational outcomes. This study assesses the effectiveness of educational…

This study investigates the process of students' metacognitive learning about homeostasis, a fundamental biological principle. The research aimed to determine how the metacognitive awareness learning approach (MCLA) affects student perceptions of homeostasis. The research participants were 146 Israeli 10th-grade students (ages 15-16) who were…

The goal of STEM education is to integrate the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a way that facilitates holistic learning. Students are also supported in developing creative solutions to problems using the STEM approach. Other STEM fields are often linked through engineering and engineering design. Throughout this…

To transition introductory college science courses from large, passive lectures to more student-centered learning environments, additional instructional support is needed. Peer learning assistants (PLAs) can support that transformation by engaging students in interactive discourse and collaborative learning during class activities. PLAs are…

This study aimed to investigate the effects of feedback types and opportunities to change answers on the learners' achievement and their ability to solve physics problems. We compared three feedback types, namely (1) static feedback with hints, (2) reducing feedback with hints, and (3) knowledge of response, and two types of opportunities to…
