Using a mixed method, quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test non-equivalent group design, this study inquired into the possibilities of enhancing learners' cognitive abilities, with problem-based learning (PBL; -experimental) and lecture method (control) as predictor variables. Aided by the random scorecards, a group of 51 students was assigned to…

When higher education students are assessed multiple times, teachers need to consider how these assessments can be combined into a single pass or fail decision. A common question that arises is whether students should be allowed to take a resit. Previous research has found little to no clear learning benefits of resits and therefore suggested they…

This study evaluated the changes in literacy and numeracy levels on schoolchildren across four New Zealand primary schools. A total of 187 schoolchildren aged 8-9 years were assigned to either a dance group (n = 101) or control group (n = 86). The dance group (DG) from each school participated in a six-week, curriculum-integrated dance program…

A computational experiment investigating common organic chemistry mechanisms has been developed and implemented in a junior/senior-level physical chemistry laboratory course at two institutions. Students investigated various reactions that proceed via S[subscript N]1, S[subscript N]2, E1, and E2 mechanisms using hybrid Density Functional Theory…

It is often hypothesized that prior knowledge strongly predicts learning performance. It can affect learning positively mediated through some processes and negatively mediated through others. We examined the relation between prior knowledge and learning in a meta-analysis of 8776 effect sizes. The stability of individual differences, that is, the…

The objective of the study was to identify the impact of B-Learning supported by the Flipped Classroom on the learning and development of competencies, carried out in an academic program of a university institution in Colombia. A quantitative approach was adopted, with a descriptive scope and a non-experimental design. The study was carried out…

Missing data is a common challenge to any researcher in almost any field of research. In particular, human participants in research do not always respond or return for assessments leaving the researcher to rely on missing data methods. The most common methods (i.e., Multiple Imputation and Full Information Maximum Likelihood) assume that the…

Molecular modeling can be used as an excellent teaching method for providing better insight into the mechanism of free radical reactions. Due to its highly visual nature, it can affect and improve students' perception and visualization of chemistry phenomena. The majority of chemistry students will know how to represent a reaction between two free…

The study aims to assess the effectiveness of a pop-up story-based program in fostering environmental awareness and sustainability among first-grade elementary students. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study included experimental and control groups, each consisting of 56 students, randomly assigned to two groups: 28 in the experimental…

The aseptic technique is essential for minimizing contamination in cell and tissue culture. However, biomedical science undergraduates in Universiti Putra Malaysia face challenges in acquiring hands-on learning experience on proper aseptic techniques due to inadequate facilities, which decreases learning interest and efficiency. To address this,…

Purpose: The present study's goal is to assess the effect of a serious game on the development of entrepreneurial competence, self-efficacy and intention and thereby contribute to clarifying the usefulness of this approach in entrepreneurship education. Design/methodology/approach: The study sample and method included 76 graduate students,…

Objective: This study intended to examine whether the utilization of ChatGPT and Termbot enhances students' understanding of medical terminology. Method: ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is an AI chatbot designed to generate human-like text responses. Termbot is a chatbot-based learning model focused on improving the acquisition of medical…

The doctor of nursing practice (DNP) project was a staff education intervention intended to improve medication adherence at a long-term care facility. The practice gap identified was that staff lacked current evidence-based knowledge in medication compliance. The project addressed whether educating staff on medication compliance would increase…

This research explores the impact of integrating Reflective Pedagogy within Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT), framed by the TPACK model, on enhancing mathematics proficiency in Rwandan Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs). The study involved 433 Year 2 TTC students in the Science and Mathematics Education program using a quasi-experimental…

The focus of this study was derived from staggering attrition rates that it calls centers year over year. At times call centers post-COVID-19 pandemic saw attrition rates fluctuating between 30%-50%. With any job there are challenges that are faced. These attrition rates stand 28%-40% higher than the United States 2023 national attrition rates of…
