Research into the effectiveness of cooperative learning for students who encounter barriers to participation and learning, and for those who show resistance to cooperative learning, produces poor results because learning strategies do not always incorporate the essential elements of cooperative learning. For this reason, in this study we intend to…

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the applying the cooperative learning model and the modeling based teaching method together in teaching the subjects "Matter and Heat" and "The Particle Structure and Properties of Matter" on students' academic achievement and science process skills. A quasi-experimental…

In light of technological development worldwide, the focus has been on how different types of digital technology can be used to provide activities that will enhance students' mathematical learning. Micro-learning is an innovative approach that will accelerate digitalization in mathematics teaching, attract students to mathematics, and combine…

In order to explore whether STEAM education in combination with elementary school curriculums can help students' learning performance, this study developed a digital learning system. This digital learning system combined STEAM concepts with elements of gamebased learning. This study developed the curriculum content based on the unit of…

The ability to pronounce consonant clusters is essential for the communicative processes of a language. The SQ4R teaching model, normally employed in reading comprehension development studies, could be adapted to benefit a speaking classroom. The purposes of the study were (1) to investigate the effects of the SQ4R technique on Thai students'…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of learning plan implementation prepared with the cooperative learning method. In particular, the study addresses the effect of cooperative learning on students' achievement and their views regarding the "Systems in Our Body" unit of the 6th grade Science and Technology lesson.…

This study aimed to analyze the effects of authentic learning practices -applied in science course- on academic success. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was used in the study. The data of the study were collected from 92 students (31 of those in the experimental group, 31 of those in the control-I group and…

This research aimed at examining the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on students' entrepreneurship level in the Social Studies course. The research used an embedded design, which is a type of mixed-methods study. The participants were the 6th-grade students studying in a state secondary school in Agri during the spring semester of the…

This study proposed and implemented a system combining the advantages of both educational games and wireless handheld technology to promote the interactive English learning in the classroom setting. An interactive English vocabulary acquisition board game was designed with the system being implemented on handheld devices. Thirty sixth-grade…

Video Modeling (VM) is a widely used intervention strategy to promote academic learning and positive social interactions in children with disabilities by watching a video clip modeled by a peer (peers) demonstrating the desired behavior. Limited research has been conducted on this topic to examine VM's effectiveness on promoting positive social…

In this article a recently developed method, Reading Writing and Presentation (RWP) is introduced and compared with Subject Jigsaw Method (JG) and Control Group (CG). Research was carried out with 68 6th grade elementary school students. Number of students included in RWP group was 26, in JG was 20 and in CG was 22. Pretest, posttest and…

The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two types of cooperative learning groups used in reciprocal teaching (RT) classes (i.e. high-structured vs. low-structured groups) for enhancing students' reading comprehension. The participants were 235 Hong Kong Chinese Grade 6 students in nine classes. Reading comprehension tests and…

Introducing new concepts to learners in an order of increasing complexity appears to be beneficial for learning, but typically introduction of concepts does not always adhere to this principle. We examined whether introducing new algebra concepts in a contrasted manner or in an order of increasing complexity instead of a different more typical…

The element of creativity in learning mathematics in elementary school is lack of attention. Whereas, in solving the mathematic problem, creative thinking and ideas are needed in formulating and solving mathematical models of mathematic problems. Creative thoughts and ideas will emerge and develop if the process of learning mathematics in the…

In this study, the effects of the authentic learning approach in social studies on academic achievement, retention of knowledge, and attitude towards the course were investigated. In the study, a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a non-equivalent control group was used. The study group consisted of 50 6th grade students. In the…
