Abstract

The development of scientific literacy in education relies heavily on two fundamental capabilities: scientific reasoning, which enables systematic analysis and evidence-based conclusions, and multiple representations, which facilitate understanding through diverse forms of concept presentation. Despite their importance, no comprehensive analysis has mapped the research landscape connecting these crucial educational components. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of research trends in scientific reasoning and multiple representations published between 2013-2022. A systematic search using Google Scholar yielded 392 relevant articles (234 focusing on scientific reasoning, 158 on multiple representations), which were analyzed using VOSviewer visualization software. The analysis revealed five distinct research clusters: (1) scientific reasoning and knowledge development, emphasizing theoretical foundations; (2) multiple representations in education, focusing on pedagogical applications; (3) student learning in physics, highlighting discipline-specific implementations; (4) scientific reasoning skills analysis, examining assessment methods; and (5) chemistry and inductive reasoning, exploring subject-specific reasoning patterns. Indonesian researchers made significant contributions to the field, particularly in developing innovative approaches to scientific reasoning skills and multiple representation strategies in science education. This analysis not only maps the current research landscape but also identifies promising directions for future studies, especially in developing integrated approaches that combine scientific reasoning development with multiple representation techniques in science education.

Abstract

Although English is the language of instruction in many South African schools, most learners are not native speakers of the language. As a result, attaining high levels of proficiency in English first additional language (English FAL) remains a problem for most learners in rural schools. Although many intervention strategies have been explored to address this challenge, research linking school enrichment programs, English proficiency, and self-directed learning in rural contexts remains limited. That is, little is known about how school enrichment programs could be used to bolster the self-directed learning skills of learners with limited English proficiency. Therefore, this qualitative study is guided by a transformative paradigm, the constructivist learning theory and participatory action research methodology to explore the use of school enrichment programs in bolstering learners’ self-directed language learning skills to improve proficiency in English FAL. For data generation, three teachers and nine learners of English FAL in one secondary school were conveniently selected to participate in the focus-group discussions and observations. A thematic analysis of data revealed that SEPs bolstered the self-directed language skills of learners by creating a space for remedial assistance in reading, providing a constructivist learning environment, and maintaining extrinsic motivation levels and supportive teacher-learner relationships.

Abstract

The movement restrictions imposed by governments due to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 challenged the status quo in education and will likely see traditional methods of teaching waning. The unprecedented shift to online instruction pronounced the fourth education revolution, particularly in developing economies, amid the fourth and in some parts, the fifth industrial revolution, a world seized by digital technologies. The current study sought to appraise digital storytelling as a teaching strategy in English second language learning, motivated by the noted generally poor performance in the subject. A literature review of empirical findings on digital storytelling in English language learning was conducted based on their availability. The review findings reveal a consensus among researchers that the language competence of learners taught using digital storytelling improved compared to traditional methods across grade levels from primary to high school levels. To this end, a digital storytelling model for language learning was developed, indicating the challenges faced by the learners and how digital storytelling can be used to scaffold the understanding of these concepts. Education departments should invest in hardware and software for innovative, digital teaching methods to improve learning and to keep abreast with advancing technologies.

Abstract

Gamification is commonly used for improving student learning experiences. The purpose of this paper is to understand the factors that influence the acceptance of gamification in learning. The paper employs a meta-analysis approach to identify the factors that affect students’ acceptance of gamified learning. The benefit of meta-analysis is its ability to synthesize and utilize the results obtained from various primary research papers to discover the critical factors that influence the acceptance of game design elements in online courses. The PRISMA protocol was used to analyze the meta-analysis. While much research has been done on gamified learning, there is a lack of meta-analysis research on the acceptance of gamified learning elements. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that performance expectancy, student satisfaction, and social interaction are the critical factors influencing the acceptance of gamified learning. These results are beneficial because they not only focus on learning but also provide an opportunity for industry experts to be aware of the critical factors that influence the acceptance of gamified learning. This paper’s novelty lies in its analysis of statistical heterogeneity, effect size, and publication bias across research that employed various statistical techniques.

Abstract

Students frequently encounter alternative conceptions regarding physics, both before and after studying physics concepts. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the PODEW (Predict, Observe, Discuss, Explain, Write) strategy integrated with analogy-based learning in addressing these misconceptions. A mixed-method explanatory model was employed, involving both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using ANCOVA, N-Gain calculations, and effect size measurements. Qualitative data were obtained via interviews with selected students to provide further insights into the findings. The study involved 60 high school students from State Senior High School of Pandewu 1, with Grade 10 Science-1 (experimental group) utilizing the PODEW strategy with analogy and Grade 10 Science-2 (control group) employing the PODEW strategy without analogy. Results indicated a significant difference between the two groups, with the experimental group achieving an N-Gain score of 0.64 compared to 0.48 in the control group, indicating greater improvement in addressing alternative conceptions. Despite these improvements, some students in the experimental group shifted from scientific understanding to alternative conceptions, suggesting the need for further refinement of the strategy. Overall, the findings highlight the potential of the PODEW strategy with analogy in reducing misconceptions and improving students' conceptual understanding of Newton's Laws.
