Rubrics, which are designed to inform learners about assessment criteria and quality levels concerning a task assignment, are a widely used means to support learners in self-assessing their task performance. Usually, rubrics enhance task performance. Surprisingly, however, relatively little is known about the underlying mechanisms via which…

The 21st century needs pupils with learning ability and necessary skills, particularly critical thinking skills instead of content focused. The study of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education approach can lead teachers to a new teaching approach in history learning. Through this approach, the teachers can create a new…

Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is important to solve learning problems. This research aimed to determine the effect of the problem-solving based Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) strategy on simple harmonic motion material toward the metacognitive abilities of student's senior high school. This research applied a quasi-experimental method with a…

In science classrooms, students usually see and work with data that's intended to tell them right away about the natural world. Students then often treat the data we provide to them as factual, rather than as a source of evidence (Duschl 2008; Sandoval and Millwood 2005; Berland and Reiser 2009; McNeill and Berland 2017; Hancock, Kaput, and…

This manuscript discusses those challenges unique to community college dual-enrollment programs during the COVID-19 pandemic by highlighting the experiences of the senior leadership team of the College Credit Plus (CCP) program at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio. With 69 different high schools offering Sinclair courses, the CCP office…

This article investigates the optics conceptions of 228 Thai high school students in grades 10-12 when they attempted to explain how an object can be seen both in general and in a completely dark room. To elicit students' conceptions precisely, their confidence in giving reasons for the final two diagnostic questions is also considered. The study…

The current case demonstrates the complexities of utilizing Youth Court as a restorative practice in an urban high school, by focusing on the complexities it presents for one student in particular. In this case, there are reasons why Youth Court clearly is not working at this particular school site as intended. However, more importantly for…

With support from QuarkNet, high school students investigated the effect of overburden on muon flux by collecting data from Fermilab's Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) tunnel. Muon flux varied due to a change in overburden created by a 103-meter deep access shaft. A profile of muon flux as a function of distance from the access…

This article describes how disciplinary literacy practices were enacted among youth within the context of Youth Built Change, a science based program incorporating principles of Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR). Highlighting two YPAR projects, one conducted in a predominantly Black and Latino/a suburban school and one conducted in a…

The era of economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic has made entrepreneurship a skill that everyone is expected to have from an early age. In the implementation of learning, quality schools will introduce entrepreneurship both as an extracurricular activity and in their learning activities, not least in learning mathematics. The planning of…

This article shares how the authors' experience with a graduate course led to creating the Living Museum: Empires Project with a group of local high school students enrolled in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics magnet school's combined advanced language and world issues course. The authors begin with a brief background on how…

In this study we investigated the relationships between nomophobia, psychological resilience, and mindfulness using a covariance-based structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis and examined the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between mindfulness and nomophobia. The sample comprised 300 Turkish adolescents between…

4-H Summer of STEM is a workforce readiness program for high school youth. The goals of the program are to increase students' interest in STEM careers, improve college and workforce readiness, and connect youth to businesses and industries in the local community. Selected youth receive hands-on development of workforce readiness skills, are paired…

This study explores student flexibility in mathematics by examining the relationship between accuracy and strategy use for solving arithmetic and algebra problems. Core to procedural flexibility is the ability to select and accurately execute the most appropriate strategy for a given problem. Yet the relationship between strategy selection and…

We examined how high school students use their cognitive and metacognitive skills in the geometry problem-solving process. This research employed a mixed-methods descriptive sequential design. Data were collected in the 2019-2020 academic year at secondary education institutions in the central districts of Adana, Türkiye. Using stratified…
