Background/purpose: The current study aimed to identify the effectiveness of employing the multimedia-supported pentagram strategy on cognitive depth in social studies in developing students' cognitive depth. Materials/methods: The current study employed a quasi-experimental approach to study the Pentagram strategy in teaching Islamic Civilization…

Background/purpose: Digital transformation has progressed rapidly, leading to significant changes in learning methodologies that are increasingly based on the mainstream internet. The integration of mainstream internet functionality with religious values has the potential to enrich students' educational experiences and foster critical thinking.…

This study examined the impact of Augmented Reality (AR) technology on learning achievement among first-year university students in safety education contexts within a Chinese higher education setting. The research employed a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design involving 30 first-year university students during the first semester of…

This article aims to raise awareness among practitioners about how small adjustments in presentation can optimize modeling in dance for individual learners and increase the satisfaction of students who enjoy dancing. Our reflections are based on the first author's experiences as a teacher and performer and in response to semistructured interviews…

Procedural fidelity is an important component of behavioral intervention programs. The "Train-to-Code" software was used to teach skilled observation of implementation of three types of discrete-trial programs, and improvement to procedural fidelity was assessed. Participants completed a training package that involved coding video…

This single case study examined the effects of segmented and connected phonation decoding training on improving word reading accuracy for three first-grade students who demonstrated challenges with accurate word reading and decoding skills. Visual analysis and single-case effect size calculations indicate students improved their correctly read…

The experimental study utilised a pre-test, post-test, and after-test design to assess the impact of a peer instruction teaching method on enhancing the subjective well-being of students in a seniors' university in China. A total of 118 senior students were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. Both groups received…

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of using a worksheet to analyze the relief of a small territory, represented on a thematic map. The study involved 16 fourth-grade students. The activity consisted of three stages: in the first stage, a pre-test was applied; in the second stage, students individually analyzed the relief on a…

Among the "desirable difficulty" (DD) strategies developed by cognitive scientists, retrieval practice and distributed practice are two of the most robust and advantageous. This study evaluated a three-component intervention to enhance student learning that consisted of instruction about the advantages of retrieval and distributed…

Young children tend to deny the possibility of events that violate their expectations, including events that are merely improbable, like making onion-flavored ice cream or owning a crocodile as a pet. Could this tendency be countered by teaching children more valid strategies for judging possibility? We explored this question by training children…

International comparative measures show that South Africa has extremely low standards in reading. A variety of programmes aimed at boosting reading have been developed, however, the effectiveness of these programmes is unclear. Prior reviews of effective reading instruction practices have focused almost exclusively on learners whose first language…

Recently, using videos as a learning resource has received a lot of attention and turned widely exploited as an effective learning tool. With the rapid spread of instructional videos, the number of these tools in all disciplines is becoming very high. It is fractious for learners to find video courses adapted to their needs. Recommender system is…

The BSCS 5E Instructional Model, an elaboration of the well-known and accepted three-part learning cycle, is a five-part approach to incorporating inquiry-based, active learning in the classroom. Developed in 1987 by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, "the 5Es" is a popular K-20 instructional practice, and as such, the Biological…

Many studies have examined the effect of argumentation-based instruction methods on student achievement in the literature. However, there was no mixed-research synthesis study providing a holistic overview of quantitative and qualitative research findings of primary studies. To fill this gap in the literature, the study investigated the effects of…

One flashcard teaching method used to teach discrete academic skills is strategic incremental rehearsal (SIR). Although the evidence for SIR is strong, no studies have evaluated the effectiveness and efficiency of SIR when used in a small-group format. The current study used a combinatorial design using a multiple baseline with an embedded adapted…
