A Replication Study of the Effects of Guided Versus Minimally Guided Classroom Engagement on Academic Achievement in Physics
This study presents a comparative analysis of classroom engagement effects on the academic achievement of senior secondary school physics students, focusing on the replication of prior research and contrasting the impacts of guided and minimally guided constructivist instructional approaches. Drawing on established frameworks of inquiry-based instruction, particularly Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGIS) and Cubing Instruction (CIS), the researc…
A Descriptive Exploration of Physics Students’ Perceptions of Computer-Aided Instruction and its Influence on Their Learning Experiences
Decolonizing secondary school science education through contextualized instruction
In the developing world, particularly in Africa, physics teachers face the challenge of facilitating the acquisition of scientifically relevant knowledge that aligns with the learners’ social and cultural context. This position paper, situated within the ongoing discourse on the decolonization of the African education system, examined how physics pedagogy, which is a vital part of secondary school science education, could be decolonized by integr…
Reimagining the Psychomotor Domain
The emergence of STEAM education, which integrates the Arts into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), reflects a growing recognition of the need to develop both technical proficiency and creative capacity in learners. This shift emphasizes the importance of preparing students to tackle complex, real-world problems through innovative and interdisciplinary thinking. Drawing on an integrative review of 108 scholarly articles, fr…
Harnessing Project-Based Learning to Enhance STEM Students’ Critical Thinking Skills Using Water Treatment Activity
Water treatment processes are designed to ensure that any pollutant’s adverse effects on the environment are reduced to the minimum allowable discharge limit. Water-literate individuals ought to effectively and constantly think about novel hydrologic concepts to improve the quality and sufficiency of water. Socio-hydrological issues remain the main source of water pollution and insufficiency in society. Therefore, effective water management and t…
Bachelor of Education Science Students’ Beliefs, Perceptions, and Experiences of Online Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study examined Bachelor of Education science students’ beliefs, perceptions, and experiences of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigation adopted an explanatory mixed method research design and involved purposively selected students enrolled for Bachelor of Education degree specialising in Physical and Life Sciences at a South African university. These students came from rural areas, townships, and informal settlements,…
