Abstract

Despite the growing popularity of self-directed learning (SDL) research, the impacts of this approach on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics teaching and learning (STEM-TL) still need to be well documented. To address this issue, this systematic review analysed and synthesised content from 50 published articles in the form of study characteristics, research methods, learning theories and strategies, technology platforms, impacts, challenges, and research opportunities related to the application of SDL in STEM-TL retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database and Scopus within the last five years. The studies examined reveal evidence that the use of SDL in STEM-TL has been quite diverse and holds promise for student success in acquiring and mastering 21st-century skills. Unfortunately, only some studies anticipate other potential concerns, such as early SDL application, student character degeneration, uncontrolled technological progress, and an unknown future educational environment. This systematic review gives a summary of what was found, which can be used to build a framework that teachers, schools, and policymakers can use in current and future STEM-TL settings and curricula.

Abstract

The present study investigated the effectiveness of a developed learning package in teaching Geometry 7 specifically in constructions and solving problems involving polygons. Geometry is one of the subjects that many students find to be the most difficult and may be challenging for some children. The major goal of this study is to determine the effect of the developed learning package in teaching Geometry 7 improving the skills of construction and problem solving skills of the students. The learning package sought to provide an engaging learning environment by merging real-world situations and game-based components. The research design adapted a quasi-experimental design wherein it has a control and an experimental group. Pretest and posttest were conducted in the control and experimental group to compare the performance of students who utilized the learning package with those who did not. With the pretest and posttest scores of the students, it was found that the learning package was not effective in school A but effective in school B. The learning package has had a big impact in rural areas, resulting in the absence of significant differences between rural and urban schools. Furthermore, the study did not produce significant interaction between the locality and the usage of the developed learning package. Thus, the Developed Learning Package improved students’ comprehension and engagement with Geometry.

Abstract

Virtual Laboratory Simulation (VLS) enhances student understanding, retention of concepts, and promotes active learning through direct visualization and manipulation of computer animations. This study aimed to develop a VLS with complementary manual for Grade 7 physics that can be utilized by the teachers to address the needs of the students in the new normal learning. The developed VLS is composed of a Teacher’s Instructional Manual and Student’s Learning Manual. The study used Research and Development approach with the ADD (Analysis, Design, and Development) model as the instructional method. These allows the researchers to analyze the need of VLS, identify the design of VLS, and develop the VLS. The VLS was evaluated based on the content quality with a mean of 4.68, technical quality with 4.65, and instructional quality with 4.57. The results for the complementary activity manual in terms of the content quality is a mean of 4.62, the technical quality with 4.54, and the instructional quality with 4.55. The result showed that the developed VLS together with the complementary activity manual satisfied the quality components and attained the intended standards. It is recommended that evaluation of the effectiveness of VLS through pilot tests in public and private schools.

Abstract

This review will give emphasis to the concept of demonstrative teaching to better improve the learning process of students in fluid mechanics. This paper is going to tackle the possible techniques students do to gain a better understanding of the concepts of fluid mechanics. With that, this review will also look at the impact of learning towards the students based on the number of demonstrations that they are making. This is where we will find out if there is a significant difference in the results with respect to the number of demonstrations performed. This paper will also discuss the most appropriate approach a beginner may take in handling a fluid mechanics class.
