Background: English proficiency is extremely important for future careers, particularly in aviation education and training. However, the current regulated school framework includes an insufficient two-hour per week. This study investigates the effectiveness of an extracurricular program, "Fun Language Club," in improving English…

Contribution: A project-based active learning approach with the collaborative pedagogical environment is used to train electrical engineers, focusing on loading characteristic of motors where extrapolated knowledge from advanced classes and feedback from the industry professionals are used to engage fellow students to improve their conceptual and…

This research is motivated by the importance of social skills for elementary school students. Social skills are abilities that must be possessed by every individual to function well in their social environment. Social skills must be instilled through the stages of learning and habituation. One of the approaches to instill social skills is through…

The Group Exercises is a distinctive collaborative group working activity completed by approximately 170 second-year undergraduate chemistry students each year in June. The activity comprises students working in randomly allocated teams of 4-6 members to complete a structured learning package to solve chemistry problems with industrial relevance…

We report on a teaching experiment with pre-service teachers (PSTs) intended to support their understanding of the validity of mathematical arguments, and their ability to formulate mathematical arguments by conducting case analysis. PSTs used Toulmin's framework (1958/2003) and engaged in collective argumentation while solving crypto-arithmetic…

The article aims to determine the academic performance and errors in the resolution of types of problems of application of the quadratic function, of high school students from the Los Lagos Region and Los Rios Region in Chile. The approach is qualitative and descriptive with case studies. A math test with open response problems and an opinion…

Purpose: In the Philippines, improving the problem solving competency of students remains a major concern. In order to understand the current situation of problem solving in the country, this study investigated how Filipino mathematics teachers incorporate problem solving into their lessons and how they develop problem solving among students. In…

Cognitive presence is the ability of the learners to project their mental and perceptual presence. This paper aims to investigate cognitive presence when using a Blended Learning environment. The article also aims at exploring university students' attitudes towards using a BL environment in language learning, since BL perception, as a computer…

The purpose of the present study was to better understand how college readiness initiatives prepare graduates of New Tech Network (NTN) high schools to succeed in their postsecondary experiences. Twelve graduates of NTN high schools participated in the present study. Each participant participated in a semi-structured interview designed to…

Online educational technologies offer opportunities for providing individualized feedback and detailed profiles of students' skills. Yet many technologies for mathematics education assess students based only on the correctness of either their final answers or responses to individual steps. In contrast, examining the choices students make for how…

This study examined interparental conflict as a linear and curvilinear predictor of subsequent changes in adolescents' negative emotional reactivity and cortisol functioning during family conflict and, in turn, their psychological difficulties. In addition, adolescents' negative emotional reactivity and cortisol functioning during family conflict…

Mathematics is one of the fields that has important role in the 21st-century thinking because mathematics involves the process of logical and systematic thinking to solve problems. This makes mathematical competencies need to be developed through learning and integrated into knowledge, skills, and attitudes. When learning has facilitated the…

The authors start from the premise that mathematical understanding and skills are fundamentally important in STEM education as they underpin the three other discplines of STEM. They describe how contextualised integrated STEM projects can bring mathematics into the foreground with digital technologies--such as Kitsi blocks. They outine a project…

With biochemistry forced to transition to remote-teaching online, the cooperative active learning and problem-solving normally in labs have been limited. With little ability to perform experiments with laboratory equipment, determining how to mimic the qualities integral to these labs in an online environment is necessary. We propose one possible…

This research that aimed to (1) produce instruments that were feasible to measure the ability to solve physics problems and nationalism, and (2) determine the quality of instruments that have been developed. This research was conducted through four stages, namely the design, preparation of tests, test trials, and preparation of valid instruments.…
