This study aimed to develop an instrument with acceptable validity and reliability for assessing two key aspects among science teachers: their self-efficacy in teaching science through an integrated STEM approach (STSIS) and their outcome expectancy when employing this approach (OETSIS), which we refer to as TSTSIS. We administered this tool to…

This study evaluated the self-efficacy and concerns regarding inclusive practices among 148 pre-service teachers enrolled in newly reformed teacher training programmes in Cambodia.

Cooperative learning (CL) is an instructional model that continues to have great impact on student learning across different disciplines and at all educational levels. However, little is known about how CL influences EFL pre-service teachers' learning outcomes. This study examined the effect of CL on content knowledge and teaching self-efficacy of…

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of Cambodia's New Generation Schools (NGS), as compared to their traditional counterparts, in enhancing the seven constructs--(1) science and math achievement, (2) science and math self-efficacy, (3) science and math outcome expectations, (4) attitudes toward science, (5) interactive science and…

Given the difficulty of teaching Cambodian learners the English speaking skills due to large, mixed-ability classes, and inappropriate applications of existing resources, the approach of Task-Based Instruction (TBI) was tested with ninth-grade students. This article, therefore, investigates the effect of TBI on ninth-graders' English-speaking…

Internationally, there has been considerable literature on the predictors of academic performance in higher education.
