Ihsan Ghazal; Saouma Boujaoude; Hayat Hokayem – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Learners are expected to discuss and debate, using scientific evidence, the Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) that often overlap with personal experiences and ethical dilemmas. This study investigated the reasoning of 24 Grade 8 Lebanese students when arguing about a scientific scenario as opposed to an SSI. It also examined how students make…

Kain, Hoda; Safa, Nehme – Online Submission, 2023
The complexities of Internet sources have caused more challenges to school students, leading them in many cases to copy-paste ideas into their written assignments. Facing these challenges requires adopting and implementing evidence-based practices. This article builds on a mixed-methods, quasi-experimental study which investigated the effect of…

Kain, Hoda; Safa, Nehme – Online Submission, 2020
This article reports on a part of a larger mixed-methods, quasi-experimental study which investigated the effect of a comprehensive model of online source- use on developing online research skills and lessening copy-paste trend in the writing pieces of Grade 8 ESL students (n = 172) in three private schools in Saida, Lebanon. Eight teachers were…

Salloum, Sara – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
A sociocultural perspective considers science textbooks as 'cultural supportive tools' with significant cultural missions. By juxtaposing symbolic, mathematical, and visual-graphical text, textbooks present the intertexts deployed by the scientific community to convey conceptual understandings in a way that no one form can. Intertextuality entails…

Benavot, Aaron; Romero-Celis, Treisy – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2019
Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) data reveal that setting high standards for the overall mathematics curriculum and ensuring teachers adhere to these standards may not necessarily lead to better learning outcomes for students. There are significant gaps between the intended and implemented grade 8 mathematics curricula…

Kain, Hoda; Moukarzel, Dalal – Online Submission, 2018
Studies showed that middle school students misuse the Internet sources for reading and writing purposes though they are skillful at online personal communication. Eventually, this led to the emergence of copy-paste trends in students' written work. In this paper, we aimed at exploring 8th grade teachers' and students' perceptions about the factors…

Farah, Nathalie; Ayoubi, Zalpha – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2020
In contrast to traditional science instruction, which encourages students to memorize facts from textbooks, today's science instruction emphasizes the adoption of scientific process skills by students, as well as the teaching of critical thinking skills. Lebanese Chemistry teachers detected lack in middle school and high school students' critical…

We argue for a transformation in the current learning and literacy education of marginalized and nondominant groups of English-as-a-Foreign Language (EFL) refugee learners in Lebanon. This paper describes the process of combining Third Space (TS) and Literature Circles (LC) to develop an instructional model of a transformative pedagogy for…

Al Shabibi, Al Shabibi; Silvennoinen, Heikki – Athens Journal of Education, 2018
On international comparisons, the development of Oman's education system in terms of the increase in educational enrolment rates and in the level of teacher qualifications has been remarkably rapid. Almost 100% access to basic education has been achieved, and almost all students progress onto post-basic education. A report from the World Bank in…
