This mixed-methods research study aimed to observe the changes in relational conceptual changes and achievement in photosynthesis and cellular respiration in 15 seventh-grade students using the variation theory of learning, a framework for contextual distinctions, and supports the Common Knowledge Construction Model (CKCM) for science education.…

This study aims to investigate the effect of the teaching model developed for hot conceptual change on middle school 7th-grade students' understanding of the Nature of Science (NOS) aspects. In this qualitative and exploratory study, activities were carried out with 24 students of two classes in a village school in the South Marmara region using a…

In this study, the effectiveness of a learning management plan using the think-pair-share technique on students' learning of decimal multiplication and division was investigated. The quasi-experimental study involved 42 grade 7 students in a public school in Thailand, who were simple random sampling. The study used a learning management plan, a…

This study examined the effect of a supplemental, multicomponent reading intervention with 75 seventh graders who scored below grade level according to a battery of assessments. Students received a yearlong reading intervention during the 2021-2022 or 2022-2023 school year. Students' pretest and posttest data were compared to determine the impact…

The researcher investigated the effects of learning in an integrated curriculum environment in a Midwestern urban school among 7th grade students. The control group consisted of students who were enrolled in just a 7th grade social studies class. The test group consisted of students who were enrolled in both a social studies class "and"…

This paper provides information on datasets for the research project that examined the efficacy of three educational technologies including "From Here to There!", a research-based game for improving algebraic understanding. The dataset contains 4,092 7th-grade students' data collected through a randomized control trial conducted in…

This study investigated how a self-regulated learning intervention, implemented within a personalized learning environment, affected students' self-regulation, self-efficacy, and academic achievement at a middle school. The personalized learning environment in this study was two self-paced units within middle school seventh grade math classrooms.…

The purpose of this dissertation is to identify quality indicators for visual based learning material for technology education classes for grades 6th to 9th. This is a three round Delphi study aimed in answering the following research question. RQ: What are the quality indicators that contribute to the successful selection of visual-based learning…

This study aimed to examine the effect of using the flipped classroom model on students' proportional reasoning. In this context, the study focused on students' achievement and solution strategies for proportional reasoning problems. The participants of the study were 56 seventh-grade students, who were determined by convenience sampling method.…

This study investigated the added value of real-time adaptive feedback on seventh graders' performances in tablet-based geometry learning. To isolate the effects of the medium (ie, tablet) from those of the feedback, three groups were compared: paper-and-pencil, pen-based tablet without feedback and pen-based tablet with feedback. The feedback was…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of STEM designed activities on academic achievement of 7th grade elementary school students in work and energy unit. For that purpose, four STEM activities were chosen to be implemented in the work and energy unit. Semi-experimental research design was utilized for the research. Two different…

The purpose of this study is to examine effects of Brain-Based Learning (BBL) method on seventh grade students' metacognitive awareness. Concurrent nested mixed method was used in the study. Thirty 7th grade students (21 girls, nine boys) participated in this study voluntarily. The unit of "Structure and Properties of Matter" was taught…

This study aimed to juxtapose the impacts of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology implemented within a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment against PBL in a conventional face-to-face setting, along with a control group, on students' learning performance, conceptual comprehension, and spatial aptitude. The investigation concentrated…

Inquiring learning characteristics are desirable learning behaviors that could lead to achievement in science education. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of integrated 5E's of inquiring-based learning and game-based learning management on grade 7 students inquiring learning characteristics. The study was conducted in…

This single-case study investigates the effectiveness of video modeling for teaching the Look, Ask, Pick (LAP) strategy to three seventh-grade students with learning disabilities. The participants watched video segments explaining the technique to solve fraction problems. Results from the intervention revealed substantial performance improvements…
