Co-creation has the potential to enhance the quality of university education through its impact on course delivery and the participants' learning experiences, but it is often not straightforward to realise. We present a case study of a student-initiated co-creation project where students, course teachers, and student administration worked together…

The provision of quality science education in basic schools in Ghana remains a significant challenge, particularly in resource-constrained settings such as the rural basic schools of the nation. This study explored the lived experiences of Integrated Science teachers in these rural schools, specifically in the Gomoa East District (GED), focusing…

This study evaluated the effects of the purposes of the homework given by teachers (preparatory homework, reinforcement homework, and extension homework) on the learning levels of the students. In this study, technical/scientific/collaborative design, one of the action research types, was used. The research was conducted with three teachers…

Although existing literature suggests that teachers perceive, mobilize, and leverage resources to support ambitious instruction, less is known about how teachers and students jointly take up resources for co-constructing scientific knowledge. This study examines how teachers and students utilize aspects of practice-oriented curriculum materials…

Recent reforms in science education have supported the inclusion of engineering and their practices in K-12 curricula. To this end, many classrooms have incorporated engineering units that include design challenges. Design is an integral part of engineering and can help students think in creative and interdisciplinary ways. In this study, we…

In 2014, the latest iteration of the National Curriculum for England came into play. It provided more challenging, but slimmed down, content and concentrated on building essential knowledge and skills.

Descriptive-evaluative research design was used. This study was conducted in five selected Secondary High Schools in Baybay City Division. The respondents of this study were…

There is a widely variable breadth of coverage of skeletal muscle content across both undergraduate human anatomy and undergraduate anatomy and physiology (A&P) courses. In response to the need for a more global understanding of the content taught in undergraduate anatomy courses, we developed an online survey (administered through Qualtrics)…

This paper presents a perspective of how the radiation and radioactivity themes have been discussed at the high school level in several locations around the world.
