The purpose of the study is to see if there is a significant difference in chemistry exam achievement growth for 10th grade students in classes with problem-based learning compared with those students in classes with direct instruction. The state in which the study was conducted is developing new standards that are challenging students more than…

Errors are natural elements of the learning process and provide a high potential to promote students' learning outcomes. In recent years, there has been much research about learning from errors. However, we know little about the relationship between students' error beliefs in chemistry and chemistry learning outcomes at present. Thus, the aim of…

The purpose of this study was to investigate elements of the history of mathematics in secondary school mathematics textbooks in Ethiopia. In line with this, the study also identified the extent to which mathematics is seen as a social construct in textbooks. To achieve these four mathematics textbooks from Grades 9 to Grade 12 were selected for…

Extramural exposure, through activities such as watching TV, gaming, networking, and online reading, has become an important source of vocabulary acquisition in English as a foreign language, particularly when learners' first language (L1) has many cognates with English. Our study examined extramural vocabulary acquisition of 10th-grade L1…

Reading is and continues to be on the decline in the U.S. Perhaps more startling to consider is the impact that low reading motivation levels may have on the persistent achievement gaps that pervade Black and Hispanic minorities. This research study aimed to elucidate the intersection of these two points and the implications of introducing choice…

This study examined minoritized student perceptions of connectedness through relationships, involvement, and environment in relation to their non-minoritized peers in rural Pennsylvania high schools. The study also examined academic and health risk behaviors of minoritized and non-minoritized students. A nonexperimental quantitative research…

We introduce "Ricerca Operativa Applicazioni Reali" (ROAR; in English, "Real Applications of Operations Research"), a three-year project for higher secondary schools. Its main aim is to improve students' interest, motivation, and skills related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics disciplines by integrating…

Research-based pedagogy was implemented to enhance high school students' learning outcomes in basic organic chemistry. Flipped learning and structured peer work have been offered to grade 10 students(N = 12) during the course with appropriate classroom facilities, supervised by two facilitators. The preclass and in-class activities were designed…

This study aim to examine the relationship of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and Work Engagement (WE) of secondary school teachers. The population was secondary school teachers of 9th and 10th grades in public schools of Punjab. The multi-stage sampling method was used to draw the sample form population. Sample was comprised 935 teachers…

This paper highlights the pedagogical importance of gaps in mathematical proofs to foster students' learning of proofs. We use the notion of 'gap-filling' (Perry & Sternberg, 1986) from literary theory to analyze a task based on a Proof Without Words, which epitomizes the notion of gaps. We demonstrate how students fill in gaps in this…

Background: In the Chinese educational system, there has been an ongoing debate between using examination- or quality-oriented education. The Chinese concept of psychological "suzhi" was proposed based on quality-oriented education, and a positive link between psychological "suzhi" and academic achievement was found by…

Both students and parents have expectations about students' academic future. The present study analyses the influence of both sets of expectations when students are at age 15-16 on the level of education achieved by students when they are 23-24 years old. For this purpose, a structural equation model is estimated by three-stage least squares,…

The premise of our study is that emotional competence (EC) serves as a foundational contributor to the achievement of science education goals in the context of socioscientific issues (SSIs). EC is a set of abilities necessary to accomplish adaptive goals in emotionally arousing situations. We contend that the development of EC is conducive to…

In this paper, a simple and multiple linear regression model has been developed to analyze and compare math test results of two student groups in the medical high school "Rezonanca", more precisely the students of the two tenth grades in the subject of mathematics of classes X- 3 and X - 7. This paper also presents some exam exercises,…

This study aimed at investigating the relationship between multiple-intelligence and thinking patterns through critical thinking among tenth-grade students in Abu Dhabi private schools. This study used descriptive approach and SEM. Also, the study sample consisted of 350 students from five private schools in Abu Dhabi. The instruments used were…
