This study was conducted to evaluate the level of service quality of the school principals’ empowerment in the planning of science and mathematics education in finance, strategy, and emphasising the importance of science and mathematics. Also whether there is a difference in the service quality between science-based and non-science-based school principals. The SERVPERF Service Quality Model by Cronin and Taylor was used. It involves the five aspects of service quality dimensions: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The participants were 705 science and mathematics teachers from 80 secondary schools. The schools were selected using stratified random sampling. The research instrument used was the questionnaire with the component of each section having the reliability indexes of Alpha Cronbach of 0.84 to 0.92. The findings of the study indicated that the level of service quality of the school principals’ empowerment in the planning of science and mathematics.....

Kajian tindakan ini memberi fokus kepada masalah pemahaman konsep dan mendapatkan fakta asas darab dengan betul oleh murid-murid tahun dua. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji sejauhmana penggunaan perwakilan melalui “laci darab” membantu murid tahun dua memahami konsep dan fakta asas darab. Murid-murid tidak memahami konsep bilangan kumpulan dan ahli setiap kumpulan dengan betul semasa membuat soalan yang melibatkan konsep darab. Pengkaji telah menggunakan pelbagai perwakilan melalui “laci darab” untuk membantu murid tahun dua memahami konsep dan fakta asas darab dengan betul. Selain itu, pengkaji telah mengkaji aspek-aspek kaedah ini yang membantu murid memahami konsep dan fakta asas darab. Peserta kajian ini terdiri daripada 60 orang murid tahun dua dari dua buah sekolah di daerah Bagan Datuk, Perak. Dalam kajian ini, pengkaji telah melaksanakan kaedah penggunaan perwakilan melalui “laci darab” selama enam minggu. Data kajian ini dikumpulkan melalui ujian pra dan ujian p.....

Studying new vocabulary is an important goal for language students, as is making the learning of vocabulary a student-centered process. Of course, the goal of investigating what variables affect people’s willingness to embrace new technologies is to better adopt such technologies. The present study will thus look at the elements that have an impact on Chinese EFL college students’ adoption and usage of mobile technology-integrated vocabulary acquisition as a means to promote more learner-centric education. To better forecast human behavior, we successfully included the following elements from the technology adoption literature into the model: attitude toward change brought on by technology usage; attitude toward technology; desire; financial ramifications; aims; past behavior; perceived consistency; positive expected feelings; visibility; and so on. Furthermore, the characteristics, all of which are external factors that describe the traits of optimal technology design, are include.....

The purpose of this study is to explore the teaching approaches that are appropriate for juveniles so that they can gain knowledge and skills in line with current demands and develop their potential. A qualitative approach was employed, specifically a constructivist grounded theory research design, involving 15 teachers and three administrators from the three rehabilitation schools. To ensure an in-depth exploration of these issues, data was collected using semi-structured interviews. Observations were also carried out in order to support the interview data and to give a full picture from various perspectives. The findings showed that the teachers practiced various teaching approaches that were appropriate for the conditions and problems of the juveniles at the schools, as detailed in this article. Additionally, the results also revealed that teachers need to choose appropriate teaching approaches to ensure that effective learning can be provided to juveniles, who on average do not hav.....

This study aims to explore the issues associated with activity-based teaching in the context of teaching Chinese as a foreign language (TCFL) in Beijing. This study adopts a descriptive quantitative survey method. To identify the issues encountered by teachers in activity-based teaching, we administered a questionnaire to collect data. The survey includes three aspects: activity design, activity implementation, and activity evaluation. The sample for this study comprises 234 TCFL teachers in Beijing. The results indicate that TCFL teachers are confronted with issues in the areas of activity design, implementation, and evaluation when conducting activity-based teaching. © 2024 Sciedu Press.

Effective learning is crucial for helping young people gain knowledge, skills, and overall development. This study aims to identify key factors necessary for effective learning in rehabilitation schools for juveniles. A constructivist grounded theory (CGT) approach was employed to gain a deeper understanding. Fifteen teachers, three administrators, and five education experts participated in the study using purposive sampling. Data was collected via in-depth interviews with these participants. The thematic analysis revealed four main themes essential for effective learning among juveniles: teachers (qualifications, teaching methods, and attitudes), juveniles (emotions and interest in learning), rehabilitation schools (administrator support and learning facilities), and community (support from families and assistance from governmental and non-governmental organizations). This research highlights the elements that all stakeholders need to address to ensure effective learning for juveniles.....

Despite simulation games (SGs) being a novel pedagogical tool that can soundly represent real environments to enhance students ‘learning outcomes, knowledge, and skills, there is still a lack of an overview of the current theoretical understanding of using simulation games as a pedagogical method to develop K-12 learning outcomes. Taking an explanatory perspective, we examined the recent empirical studies in simulation games through a systematic search method following the PRISMA guidelines, and then discussed the benefits, limitations, and recommendations of using simulation games in K-12 education during the period of 2016 and continued to 2021 via six databases: Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect, ERC, ERIC, IEEE. Twenty-four papers were identified as the result of the data extraction process. We identified the benefits and limitations of implementing learning games in k-12 education. Findings revealed that simulation games used as teaching tools could develop student learn.....
