Purpose: This research aims at investigating the increase in teaching and learning activities by using guided teaching model and what effect it makes on the achievement on learning outcomes. Guided teaching facilitates teaching and decision-making abilities of the students. Research Methodology: The study was carried out on a sample of 290…

The integrated information and communication technology (ICT) as the pedagogical content has led to great opportunities and challenges in the educational ideas and practices. This study explores the contextual use of the ICT integrated pedagogy in Tribhuvan University. The detail analysis has been made on the basis of primary and secondary data…

This study explores teachers' use of questioning during collaborative science exploratory activities. We classified a total of 755 questions across 14 preschool science lessons implemented by four teachers by type (open- or closed-ended) and content (science or non-science related) while also recording the intended recipient. Results revealed…

The proliferation of massive open online courses (MOOCs) highlights the necessity of developing accurate and diagnostic evaluation methods to assess the courses' quality and effectiveness. Hence, this study proposes a diagnostic MOOC evaluation (DME) method that combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process algorithm and learner review mining to…

Human judgement is widely used in workplace-based assessment despite criticism that it does not meet standards of objectivity. There is an ongoing push within the literature to better embrace subjective human judgement in assessment not as a 'problem' to be corrected psychometrically but as legitimate perceptions of performance. Taking a step back…

The main objective of this study was to explore mathematics teachers' perception on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The explanatory sequential mixed method with Likert scale and interview guideline was used as research tools for data collection. 50 mathematics teachers who were teaching at Higher Education were conveniently selected for the…

The theory and practice of spiritual care has transformed over the years. Chaplains have broadened the definitions of their work, formalized spiritual assessments, and gained greater understanding of multi-faith and interfaith support. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced a new shift in thinking specifically causing many healthcare chaplains to…

Text structure (e.g., left-to-right orientation) can bias later task performance by supporting scanning strategies on related tasks (e.g., scanning left-to-right when learning word pairs). The current study was designed to investigate how the reading habits of native Arabic speakers might affect the acquisition of English vocabulary in word lists.…

This article documents the time taken to assess two different types of final year engineering courses -- a more traditional course in which the purpose of assessment is mostly to measure performance, and a second, that uses a multi-stage assessment process to implement an assessment for learning perspective. The research question is to determine…

Purpose: The resources needed to develop assessments of the twenty-first century skills, such as problem solving and collaboration, are huge, and require the introduction of cost-effective methods (Griffin and Care, 2015). The intention of the design template is to identify whether the presented approach to game development is viable for measuring…

The ability to think creatively and self-regulated learning is very important in learning mathematics, in order to train students to develop their creativity. But in reality, mathematics learning that is currently happening has not been able to develop mathematical creative thinking skills and increase students' self-regulated learning. The…

Molecular genetics, a key concept in biology, is found to be very difficult for students at the senior high school level. A situation largely blamed on teachers' instructional approaches. Since the Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating and Transferring (REACT) strategy is reported to be an effective pedagogical approach for improving…

This study aimed to analyze the effect of conventional, Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Numbered-Head Together (NHT), and integrated PBL-NHT learning models on the low- and high-ability students' critical thinking. This quasi-experimental study used a pretest-post-test nonequivalent control group design with a four-by-two factorial pattern. The…

Classroom assessment dynamics are shaped by individual and local understandings of assessment (assessment micro-cultures), as well as common assessment beliefs and practices that stem from system-wide features, such as large-scale testing (assessment macro-cultures). Teachers' approaches to assessment reveal how they navigate assessment micro- and…

Playing satisfies basic human needs such as deepening social relationships (Melton et al., 2019) and experiencing an ideal self's characteristics (Przybylski et al., 2012). In addition, games foster student engagement through the use of intrinsic motivation, critical thinking skills, and the use of creative problem solving (Boghian et al., 2019;…
