This study investigated the effectiveness of culturally relevant project-based learning to address the academic achievement gap between Black and Brown students and their White and Asian American peers at New Hope Elementary School. The research aimed to determine if culturally relevant project-based learning could enhance academic outcomes,…

South African learners' performance in mathematics, both locally and internationally, has raised significant concerns, particularly in the realm of algebra. To address this issue, a mixed-methods study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of using algebra tiles to teach algebraic expressions. The study aimed to investigate algebraic…

Word problem solving is an approach that can increase knowledge, improve performance and develop learners' critical thinking skills that can assist them in solving mathematical and real-life problems. This study examined the effectiveness of using a word problem solving approach to improve Grade 3 learners' performance when learning addition and…

The aim of the study is to examine the effectiveness of blended learning in encouraging course interaction amongst first-year students studying a business communication module. The COVID19 pandemic resulted in the increased use of blended learning as a teaching approach to encourage learning regardless of the location. Existing research on blended…

This research reports the implementation of an evaluation instrument of the slope concept in high school students. The design of this study was based on four dimensions: Skills, Properties, Uses and Representations (SPUR model; Thompson & Kaur, 2011) and on three conceptualizations: constant ratio, behavior indicator and trigonometric…

The main objective of this intervention study was to investigate the effect of three teaching approaches, namely the traditional teaching method (TTM), a teacher-based demonstration experiment (TBDE) and a student hands-on experiment (SHE), on students' academic performance. A total number of 324 senior five students studying chemistry as one of…

The purpose of this research is to assess the effectiveness of using cloud storage services as a means to facilitate the rehearsal process in online choral vocal education. Third-year students from three Chinese educational institutions participated in this study. Thus, this research involved a total number of 336 people (320 students and 16…

Currently there is an attempt to combine subject-generic and subject-specific teaching frameworks to comprehensively capture teaching quality. This study explores the possibility of integrating two widely used and validated frameworks, the subject-generic Dynamic Model of Educational Effectiveness (DMEE) and the subject-specific Mathematical…

The development of clinical judgment is an important topic in nursing education, and various teaching strategies have been proposed to improve this skill among nursing students and new graduate nurses. However, the effectiveness of these strategies is not well-researched. One promising approach is using higher-order questions to guide and develop…

In the post-pandemic world, metaverse technology has become a popular approach to facilitating students' online learning experiences. Drawing on Kolb's experiential learning theory, we created immersive scenes using CoSpaces Edu, a 'mirror-world' metaverse platform that enables students to observe mathematical properties virtually. We applied a…

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into learning activities is an essential opportunity to develop students' varied thinking skills. On the other hand, design-based learning (DBL) can more effectively foster creative design processes with AI technologies to overcome real-world challenges. In this context, AI-supported DBL activities have a…

This study examines the impact of educational robotics applications in Information Technologies and Software courses on the motivation, attitude towards robotics, and academic achievement of 6th-grade secondary school students. The research employed pre-experimental method encompassing 112 students. Students got training in robotics using the…

Fostering students' knowledge and courage to face illegal or immoral problems is a critical aim in educational settings. However, it is challenging for students who lack knowledge and social experience to comprehend the sins behind the immoral cases and have the moral courage to deal with those problems. Therefore, in the present study, an…

Contribution: This study presents an innovative experiential learning model utilizing an educational pico satellite kit as a tool for cultivating digital making skills. The distinct approach showcases a positive impact on students' learning experiences and serves as a motivating force, offering valuable implications for engineering and technical…

Authentic assessment -- where instructors create a realistic, cognitively challenging learning environment -- is critical in environmental science education. However, academic staff insufficiently rely on best practices in authentic learning due to lack of knowledge or interest. Here, we evaluate existing frameworks to improve the authenticity of…
