Jana Visnovska; Mellony Graven; José Luis Cortina; Pamela Vale – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
In South Africa and in many other parts of the world, decolonising the curriculum has become a valued goal, while frameworks that would systematically support the decolonising project through "instructional design" are not broadly available. In this conceptual paper we bring readers to consider one framework for instructional design, the…

Lamprecht Lotter; Umesh Ramnarain – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
This study explores the experiences and perceptions of three senior phase Natural Sciences teachers using the flipped classroom approach (FCA) to enable them to implement inquiry-based learning (IBL) activities in their classrooms. The research data consisted of semi-structured interviews and classroom observation. The classroom observation data…

Mjege Kinyota – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
The role of scientific reasoning in promoting scientific literacy during the early years of schooling is well acknowledged. Using the analytical framework for scientific reasoning skills by A. Opitz et al. (2017, "Educational Research and Evaluation," 23(3-4), 78-101), this multi-age observational study investigated the extent of…

Uchenna Kingsley Okeke; Sam Ramaila – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
This study analyses the effectiveness of directed vs. minimally directed inquiry-based instructional approaches in improving students' attitudes toward physics. It specifically compares the impacts of cognitively guided instructional strategy (CGIS) and Cubing instructional strategy (CIS) on student attitudes. Using a pretest--post-test…

Isaac Sonful Coffie; Nick Hopwood; Mun Yee Lai – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
Research on science education in Africa shows many teachers continue to use traditional lecture methods even when curriculum favours more student-centred approaches. This paper explores science teacher professional learning as a means to realise practice change at a crucial time of curriculum reform in Ghana. The study was a qualitative formative…

Sinethemba Mdleleni; Kenneth Mlungisi Ngcoza – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
Many learners seem to struggle to grasp the concepts of forces and Newton's law of motion, possibly owing to decontextualised teaching pedagogies used in science classrooms. This study investigates Grade 11 Physical Sciences teachers' perspectives in South Africa on integrating Indigenous Knowledge (IK) to improve learners' understanding of…

Hlologelo Climant Khoza; Nomhle Magadlela – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
While there is a vast literature arguing that teacher talk in whole class discussions is a determinant of quality science teaching, teachers' understanding of enacting teacher talk is under-researched. Using teacher cognition as a theoretical lens, the purpose of this study was to explore how experienced and novice science teachers in South Africa…

Thulelah Blessing Takane; Hamsa Venkat – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
In this paper, we detail the outcomes of a small-scale intervention study that aimed to support the mathematising processes of Grade 2 South African learners when working with additive relations problems. We report on the mathematising shifts that were evident in pre- and post-test responses prior to and after a sequence of 13 intervention…

Thumah Mapulanga; Anthony Bwalya – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
Teaching practices used by teachers influence students' achievement of learning outcomes. These practices may be explored from students' perspectives. Because gender may influence students' perceptions of learning environments, this study explored gender differences in students' perceptions of teaching practices employed in their biology…

Kevin Larkin; Pamela Vale; Silke Ladel; Lise Westaway; Mellony Graven; Ulrich Kortenkamp – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
In this article we investigate the transparency of language in learning place value in either a Southern African indigenous language (isiXhosa, Setswana, Oshiwambo or Emakhuwa) or a European-based language (Afrikaans, English, German or Portuguese). Since language is a key mediator in developing place value understanding, it is important to…

Bongani Prince Ndlovu – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
Recently, the question of which version of content knowledge (CK) is suitable for pre-service teacher (PST) development has gained prominence in teacher education research. A version of CK argued to be appropriate for science PST development has been introduced and referred to as teacher-related science content knowledge (TerSCK). This CK version…

Safura Meeran; Sophy Mamanyena Kodisang; Mathomo Merriam Moila; Mogamat Noor Davids; Matlala Violet Makokotlela – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
Mathematics education remains a worrisome issue in the South African education system. This dilemma presents itself in the underperformance of learners in Intermediate Phase mathematics. In an effort to address this challenge and develop alternative approaches to the teaching of mathematics, a university-based project was initiated. As part of the…

Wajeeh Daher; Faaiz Gierdien – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
Texts generated by artificial intelligence agents have been suggested as tools supporting students' learning. The present research analyses the language of texts generated by ChatGPT when solving mathematical problems related to the quadratic equation. We use the functional grammar theoretical framework that includes three meta-functions: the…

Tsedeke Abate; Getachew Tarekegn; Mekbib Alemu; Kassa Michael; Carl Angell – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
One agenda of science instruction in primary schools is to develop learners' scientific reasoning abilities and to equip them with the necessary twenty-first-century skills. Few studies have been conducted to develop measurement tools that aspire to assess primary school learners' scientific reasoning. Most of these studies lack a theoretical…
