The study examined the effectiveness of BEEP Cards (BioEnergetics Enhancement Play Cards) on students' conceptual understanding of bioenergetics. The study involved one group of grade 11 students (n=29) from a public secondary school in the Philippines. The study employed a mixed-method research design, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative…

This replicated research project [see Hine, G. S. C. (2019). Reasons why I didn't enrol in a higher-level mathematics course: Listening to the voice of Australian senior secondary students. "Research in Mathematics Education," 21(3), 295-313. https://bibliotheek.ehb.be:2102/10.1080/14794802.2019.15999982019] explored the reasons why senior secondary…

The purpose of this study is three-fold. First, to explore the effects of online peer-dynamic assessment (Peer-DA), rooted in the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) notion, on boosting Iranian high school students' writing skills. Second, to disclose how online Peer-DA can lead to improving the participants' writing skills. Third, to disclose…

This research aimed to understand the features of the informal reasoning skills performed by students who debated the socio-scientific contentious issue of breastfeeding versus milk formula during an Indonesian biology lesson. A class of 30 students in grade 11 discussed this issue by participating in a role play represented by four organisations…

Learners' difficulties with proof have been ascribed to their lack of understanding of functions that proof performs in mathematics, namely, verification, explanation, communication, discovery, and systematization. However, the extant mathematics education literature on validation of instruments designed to measure learners' beliefs about the…

Seventeen years after the end of the Liberian civil war, which is partly blamed for the waning of the standard of education, the country is still grappling with providing a competency-based science educational experience that will enhance the science inquiry process skills of its youth. In this paper we used the constructivist theoretical…

Math consists of many components such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, where each component holds its importance in the field of math. Students of Grades 11 and 12 are at an important stage in their career, where the attitude and performance in math determines their future choices. Therefore, the aim of this study was to…

Astronomy is seen as a "gateway" science, inspiring students to pursue Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) related careers. However, there is little evidence that students' attitudes towards astronomy remain stable over time. By integrating Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), we identified…

The aim of the study was to investigate students' views of model evaluation through the lens of personal epistemology. We developed an integrated analytical framework by combining a developmental framework, including absolutist, multiplist, and evaluatist, with a multi-dimensional framework, including limits of knowing, certainty of knowing, and…

Students in 11th or 12th grade will make important decisions about their post--high school plans, if they have not already done so. Some will plan to enter the workforce right after high school. Others will make decisions about pursuing an education goal. Will that goal be a nondegree credential or an academic degree? For those considering an…

The purpose of this research is to explore the influence of high school gifted and talented (GT) programs on students' self-concept from the students' perspectives in the UAE. A qualitative, exploratory, interview-based study was employed to answer the following question: How gifted and talented programs influence students' self-concept? Data were…

The study aimed to examine the influence of ChatGPT on the academic performance and learning perception of eleventh-grade students in a United Arab Emirates school in the field of electronic magnetism. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group granted access to ChatGPT and a control group without access to…

Epistemological obstacle is emphasized in mathematics education. Students often have limited students' context of knowledge in understanding trigonometry. Knowing the epistemology obstacle can help a teacher understand the student's misconception. Therefore, this study aimed to identify students' epistemological obstacles of trigonometry and…

Research on recasts has gotten increasing attention from SLA researchers ever since 1990s. However, the studies on the effectiveness of recasts had inconsistent findings and are still debatable in what way recasts facilitate L2 learning. This study aims to examine the effects of recasts on English question production by adopting a pretest,…

This study investigated International Baccalaureate Diploma Program students' perceptions of international-mindedness. The research used quantitative methods to explain perceptions of international-mindedness within three participating schools (two national schools and one international school) in Istanbul, Turkey. Using the conceptual framework…
