While science educators were battling the challenge of difficulty in learning physics, the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent lockdown of schools, compounded the existing ugly situation. This paper explored the methodological insights to the development and usability of Physics Learning Management System (PLMS). The study adopted the type II developmental research design to develop a functional PLMS using some of the existing digital technologies. Multistage sampling procedure was adopted to select 27 secondary school physics teachers in the six south-western states of Nigeria. The selected teachers were trained on the rubrics of instructional video production, Learning Management System and Culturo-Techno Contextual Approach (CTCA) model to teaching physics for five weeks. The results obtained were 86 instructional videos on perceived difficult topics in physics which were used as the content of the PLMS. To establish the validity and usability of the PLMS, 29.....

Linking summative and formative assessments to improve the learning process remains an important issue, as there is very few research to address on this topic. The research aims to produce a valid mathematical modeling process student worksheet to integrate instruction, assessment, and learning. This research employed a development research approach, consisting of four stages of the modified ADDIE model: analysis, design, development, and implementation. The analysis step involved analyzing real-world situations, instruction, assessment, learning and the characteristics and principles of applied mathematical modeling problems. The analysis step focused on creating the design and product, while the development stage included an expert review. The implementation step utilized a formative evaluation approach consisting of self-evaluation, one-on-one interview, and field testing. However, the small-group evaluation and final evaluation stages of the ADDIE model were not yet conducted. This.....

This study assessed the extent of utilization and availability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teaching and assessment at Ambrose Alli University. As educational paradigms shift towards digitalization. This study employed survey research design. A snowball sampling method was used to select 103 lecturers who provide the relevant data or information regarding the extent of availability and utilization of AI in teaching and assessment of students. The instrument for data collection was a self-developed semi structured questionnaire, entitled Availability and Utilization of AI in Teaching and Assessment of Students by Lecturers in Ambrose Alli University (AUAITASLAAU). The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23.0 was used to analyze the data collected. The study found that a positive reception of AI-enhanced teaching and assessment tools among both Lecturers and Students, highlighting increased engagement, personalized learning experiences, and efficient assessment mechanis.....

Physics subjects encompass all aspects of nature on both the macroscopic and submicroscopic levels. It was reported that upper secondary school students in Malaysia have difficulties in some topics in Physics which lead to poor performance of students and a lack of interest in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics subjects. This research assessed the level of students' knowledge of Free Fall Motion, explored the difficulties faced by the students with Free Fall Motion’s topics, measured the effectiveness of the constructivist teaching approach for students in learning Free Fall Motion, and collecting students' perception towards the constructivist teaching approach. This study used a pretest-posttest research design. The population was upper secondary school students from public secondary schools in Malaysia and 30 students were selected as a research sample in this study Using descriptive analysis and paired sample t-tests, it was revealed that majority of students pr.....

This study explores the relationship between the use of additional instructional materials—including technological tools, pedagogical resources, and supplementary learning aids—by special education teachers and the classroom performance of learners with disabilities in Malaysia, as measured by Pentaksiran Bilik Darjah (PBD) assessments. The sample consisted of 33 special education teachers (22 females and 11 male), representing diverse teaching backgrounds and experience levels across Malaysian primary schools. Quantitative data were collected through teacher questionnaires and analysed using Spearman's rank-order correlation and chi-square tests in SPSS 20.0. The findings revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.757, p < 0.001) between the frequency of additional material use and learners’ performance outcomes. Furthermore, a moderate correlation (r = 0.287, p < 0.01) was identified between teachers' perceptions of learners' performance and their reported use of additional .....

This research aims to investigate the use of response tokens as a criterion in an oral assessment. A few research instrument is used in this study to find out the types of response tokens used by English speakers and the reasons behind using them. Besides, this study also helps to determine whether the use of response token has effects on oral assessment and to discover the validity and reliability of their usage. Osgood-Schramm’s Model of Communication is used in the assessment; as in to evaluate speaking skills, listening skills and also the use of response tokens as a part of active listening strategies. Listening skills are often assessed on its own without the integration with other skills in most standard testing, thus this research studies the role of active listening in the oral test. An assessment based on interactive speaking and listening model involving the use of response token is carried out and the results are thematically categorised. The findings from this research p.....

This study presents a comprehensive conceptual framework for equating in educational assessment, aimed at enhancing the accuracy, validity, and fairness of equating outcomes. The framework emphasizes the importance of considering sample characteristics, statistical assumptions, model fit, advancements in equating methodology, the integration of technology, and the factors of equity and fairness. By incorporating these elements, educational institutions can improve their equating practices and support equitable and fair evaluation processes. The framework also impacts policy-making and educational assessment procedures, providing a foundation for evidence-based policies that promote accountability and effective evaluation. Policymakers can use this framework to develop policies that ensure fair and valid assessment practices. Additionally, the study highlights the critical role of empirical research in validating and refining the framework, advocating for the exploration of cross-cultur.....

The purpose of this study is to examine students' perceptions of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational settings as well as its impact on learning outcomes. Students are positive about their potential for personalized learning experiences and adaptive feedback despite limited exposure to AI-driven tools. An analysis of pre-test and post-test data demonstrates a significant improvement in academic performance, particularly among female students. Students should be educated about AI tools and receive enhanced training to be able to effectively use them in future educational initiatives. To address gender-based differences in intervention effectiveness, tailored approaches are necessary. Student engagement and fostering a conducive learning environment can be enhanced through continuous evaluation of AI-integrated programs. It highlights the potential of AI to revolutionize education, emphasizing the need for ongoing assessment and targeted support to ensure opti.....
