This study aims to develop and test the feasibility of audio-visual-based learning media in history learning class X in senior high school. This study is a research and development (R&D) type with the analyze, design, development, implementation, evaluation (ADDIE) model. The research involved 96 students of class X IPS or social science at…

Many STEM disciplines are underrepresented to High School students. This is problematic as many students' decisions for college are shaped by their experiences and achievements in high school. Short content-oriented modules have been shown to encourage science identity and otherwise benefit the students' learning. Following the ASBMB's outreach…

Integrating outcome-based elements like advanced communication, productivity and accountability, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, flexibility, and adaptability is considered vital in a textbook. However, evidence has shown gaps in specific areas of textbooks, as illustrated by the "Bahasa Inggris Grade XII" textbook, which…

With increased focus on data literacy and data science education in K-12, little is known about what makes a data set preferable for use by classroom teachers. Given that educational designers often privilege authenticity, the purpose of this study is to examine how teachers use features of data sets to determine their suitability for authentic…

Local biodiversity can help students develop conservation attitudes regarding biodiversity. However, studies reveal students' preferences regarding exotic than local biodiversity. Therefore, more research can permit an improved understanding of the reasons for their interest in these organisms. This research aimed to investigate São Paulo state…

This research aims to analyze the characteristics of STEM-related visual content in Indonesian Vocational High School biology textbooks. Biology textbooks have been adapted to the latest scientific and technological advances and curriculum demands and declared feasible. However, some distributed biology textbooks in Indonesia may need to be…

Despite the advantages proffered by technology in science education, little has been done to develop and validate innovative technology-based instructional materials on Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. It is imperative to test any newly generated instructional materials to validate their quality before being widely used. Hence, this study aimed…

The rapid development of technology requires education to provide learning that can improve students' critical thinking and ICT (information and communication technology) skills. One of the lessons that can be applied is ICT-based. The material is packed with state-of-the-art technology and computer programming. For this reason, a study was…

The way high school chemistry curricula are structured has the potential to convey consequential messages about knowledge and knowing to students and teachers. If a curriculum is built around practicing skills and recalling facts to reach ''correct'' answers, it is unlikely class activities will be seen (by students or the teacher) as…

More students with disabilities (SWDs) are being educated in the general education classroom than ever before. This means that SWDs are spending more time in middle school science classrooms. SWDs may struggle to access information from science textbooks and lessons for multiple reasons, including reading difficulties. In this article, the authors…

The ability to think creatively is the ability to generate new ideas, innovative solutions, and unconventional thoughts in response to a situation or problem. Creative thinking involves many aspects, including imagination, association of ideas, mental flexibility, and views that are different from the usual. Creative thinking needs to be grown in…

Recent research has repeatedly raised the question of how the authenticity of learning material affects learning outcomes. This question is particularly important for history education: researchers continue to debate whether teachers should use historians' authentic working material (e.g., multiple primary sources and historical accounts) or less…

Emphasis on literacy within middle and high school classrooms is not new; however, there is a shortage of research exploring literacy across disciplines, especially in a geography classroom. Using a holistic case study, we investigated how one first-year geography teacher integrated multiple active literacy strategies within her instruction.…

Critical thinking skills are one of the main competencies to be achieved in learning. Critical thinking skills can be taught through various methods, such as integrating through student worksheets (LKPD). Observations on the use of LKPD conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Parepare showed that the LKPD used did not support the development of students'…

The biology material on the excretory system has a high level of learning difficulty, including the complexity of the material and the high level of abstraction, which can affect students' learning process and outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the internal and external sources causing learning difficulties by conducting research that…
