This study examines the impact of constructivist methods on students' performance in mathematical problem-solving, which is a significant issue in contemporary educational research. Traditional teaching methods, which are often oriented towards rote learning and memorization, have limitations in increasing students' performance in solving…

This article discusses the impact of marketisation on the quality of research and education in Turkey and the USA based on the narratives of higher education scholars. It also compares the perception of Turkish and American scholars regarding the implications for Turkey and the USA. It is concluded that there is a link between marketisation and…

The problem-based learning (PBL) model consists of five steps: orienting students to the problem, organizing work, guiding investigations, compiling work and presenting it, and evaluating the process and results. However, many teachers have not implemented the first and second steps properly, so that the goal of developing students' critical and…

An alternating treatments design was used to analyze the effects of concrete and virtual manipulatives on the duration and number of correctly solved linear equations by three middle school students with cognitive disabilities. Participants physically manipulated algebra tiles to solve an equation during the concrete manipulative condition. During…

We used a single case concurrent multiple probe across participants design to evaluate the effects of a multi-component intervention package on the number of correct sentences used when writing about a story for three rural elementary students with intellectual or developmental disabilities and extensive support needs. The package was comprised of…

As science educators seek innovative methods to engage students, the Culturo-Techno-Contextual Approach (CTCA) has emerged as a promising strategy, particularly for African students. CTCA is a culturally responsive teaching method that integrates culture, technology, and locational context, making science more relatable and meaningful. We assessed…

Feedback is an integral aspect of developing self-regulated learning in that it enables the student an opportunity for reflection, making changes, and learning. The computer-based feedback system supports this systematic review in exploring how improvement in academic performance, metacognitive reasoning, and emotional resilience has taken place…

The swift advancement of artificial intelligence, especially large language models (LLMs), has generated novel prospects for improving educational methodologies. Nonetheless, the successful incorporation of these technologies into pedagogical methods, such as flipped classrooms, continues to pose a challenge. This study investigates the…

Entomology is a foundational subject in the sciences and is often required in curriculum standards for K-12 education because insects allow students to learn about animals in a controlled way. As a result, entomology education is a common yet frequently overlooked aspect of academic learning. To better understand the role an interactive insect…

Based on the results of observations at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (State Islamic Senior High School) 1 Palembang, it was found that there were problems in learning biology; namely, the daily test scores for class XI science 2, semester 1 for the 2021/2022 around 30% of students have scored above the minimum completeness criteria (MCC) and the…

This exploratory field study investigates the integration of innovative forms of recitation tasks in a first-year introductory mechanics course, focusing on smartphone-based experimental tasks alongside programming and standard recitation tasks. Smartphones, combined with external sensor modules, serve as a gateway enabling students to conduct…

The research objective is to study the influence of the social media platform TikTok on piano teaching, to compare the comprehensive piano level between students who use TikTok and students who learn normal teaching and to compare the comprehensive piano level between pre-test and post-test. The sample is 82 piano students and ten teachers from…

This study explores the relationship between the self-confidence and content knowledge of undergraduate students in a large enrollment geoscience course following an active-learning think-pair-share (TPS) activity, and whether high confidence necessarily leads to overconfidence. We used a pre-experimental, one group pre-test -- post-test design,…

Climate change is a major concern to undergraduate students. Understanding climate change relies on an understanding of polar regions. However, courses on polar regions are rare at undergraduate institutions. Polar ENgagement through GUided INquiry (PENGUIN) modules were designed to give students experience with polar research in a variety of…

This study compared shifts in learners' attitudes under two instructional strategies: technology-enhanced Van Hiele phased instruction (TVHPI) and conventional Van Hiele phased instruction (CVHPI). A quasi-experimental design was used with 245 learners in the CVHPI group and 238 learners in the TVHPI group. Owing to non-normal data distribution,…
