This study aims to investigate the patterns of students' performance in inductive reasoning, scientific reasoning and science motivation at different grade levels. We also examined the interaction of these variables with parental factors in predicting students' STEM achievement. A cross-sectional study assessed 726 participants from the 6th, 8th,…

This study was grounded in the social cognitive career theoretical framework (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994). The purpose of this four-year longitudinal study was to examine the factors that may have contributed to students' motivation to develop STEM interest during secondary school years. The participants in our study were 9th-11th grade high…

This study aimed to identify and analyze the patterns of final exam questions prepared by English teachers for the 9th and 10th grades and to analyze all the revision questions presented in the English language textbooks in Jordan, based on Bloom's taxonomy to determine the nature and types of these questions. The sample of the study consisted of…

This study investigated in Math and Classroom Learning Environment (CLE) through quantitative approach Public Schools of Punjab were the population of the study. Using random sampling, 997 respondents (Boys = 489, Girls = 508) from two districts (conveniently) were selected. The scale (Fraser, 2007). Self measured students' self scale developed by…

Using the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy as the analytic framework, this study examined the impact of the reasoning flow scaffold (RFS) on students' written arguments. Two classes with a total of 88 10th grade students in a school participated in this study. One class, set as the experimental group, was taught scientific…

Mathematics is frequently considered as value-free, centering entirely on abstract reasoning. However, more often than not, the teaching of values in mathematics classrooms takes place implicitly through the actions of the teacher. The role values play in mathematics learning is also a growing area of interest and is now viewed by many as a…

Mathematics is of major importance in science subjects. Unfortunately, students struggle with applying mathematics in science subjects, especially physics. In this qualitative study we demonstrate that transfer of algebraic skills from mathematics in physics class can be improved by using pre-knowledge effectively. We designed shift-problems…

This study aimed at investigating the effect of applying integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) approach on motivation among students of grade 10 in a private school in Amman. In this context the researchers used a quasi-experimental method. The sample of this study involved 32 high school students; the…

Educational reforms in Qatar have seen the implementation of inquiry-based learning and other student-centred pedagogies. However, there have been few efforts to investigate how these adopted western pedagogies are aligned with the high context culture of Qatar. The study presented in this article highlights the implementation of a student-centred…

In South Africa, differential performance in school mathematics with respect to social class remains an enduring concern as reflected in national and international large-scale assessments. The article examines the implications of evaluation for orientations to mathematics in a school populated by learners from upper-middle-class or elite…

This paper examines how seven teachers working in contexts of limited resources used the prescribed textbook for teaching, and the kinds of teacher-textbook relationships forged in the interactions. The study employs a sociocultural perspective to explore the processes by which teachers mobilise the affordances of the textbook to the teacher's…

In this study activities related to biotechnology and genetic engineering were prepared and their effectiveness on students' achievement, attitudes towards biotechnology, and self-evaluations were investigated. The activities were implemented in 10th grade biology course. The study utilized mixed method, with qualitative and quantitative data…

This research is experimental research with a 2x2 factorial design. In this study, the researcher took students of two classes as a sample of the research, one for the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG). There were 32 students in each experimental and control class, so the total sample was 64 students. Both of these classes were…

The Computer has occupied a comprehensive coverage, especially in education scopes, including in learning-teaching processes, testing, and evaluating. This research aimed to develop computerized adaptive testing (CAT) to measure physics higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), namely PhysTHOTS-CAT. The Research Development used the 4-D developmental…

This study investigated the effects of an instructional technology device, specifically, a computer-based graphic organizer, called the "Real-World Connections Vocabulary" graphic organizer (Ellis, 2015), on vocabulary acquisition for college entrance testing skills of students with high-incidence disabilities. Although graphic…
