Abstract

This study aimed to propose revisions in the psychometric properties of Colorado Learning Attitudes for Science Survey (CLASS) based on the evidence found from this study. CLASS is a 42-item instrument that measures students’ attitudes towards physics and learning physics. In determining the validity of CLASS, 227 senior high school students from different schools in Metro Manila and  in Cavite, Philippines participated in the study. Statements in CLASS underwent exploratory factor analysis through principal factor analysis to determine its factor structure. Results showed that from the original 42 items in CLASS, 13 items did not reach acceptable correlation coefficient and factor loadings, thus they were deleted. From the remaining 29 items, four categories emerged: Personal Interest and Real-World Connection, Sense Making/Effort and Problem Solving, Conceptual Connections, and Applied Conceptual Understanding, compared to the eight categories from the original version CLASS. Specifically, the four factors were composed of the following number of items: 8 for Personal Interest and Real-World Connection, 7 for Sense Making/Effort and Problem Solving, 8 for Conceptual Connections, and 6 for Applied Conceptual Understanding. Reliability also reached acceptable overall Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.745. This study proposes this revised 29-item instrument of CLASS as a valid instrument which measures students’ attitude in the areas of personal interest, real world connection, personal effort and approaches in a physics course, and to problem solving.

Abstract

This study examines undergraduates and postgraduates use of the internet for academic purposes in STREAM fields. A mixed method research which sampled 100 respondents selected through snowballing sampling technique. Four research questions and one hypothesis guided this study. Two instruments namely Internet Usage Questionnaire (IUQ) and semi-structured interview on challenges experienced in the utilisation of internet (IUIT) were employed for data collection. Standard deviation and independent sample t-test analysed the descriptive (quantitative) aspect of questions and hypothesis raised respectively, while thematic analysis was employed in the narrative (qualitative) section. The study found that mobile apps, software, and website were among the media through which students access academic resources on the internet.  No significant difference was found in the level of usage of the internet for academic purposes between undergraduates and postgraduates in STREAM fields. Poor internet facility, high cost of internet subscription, wide search for relevant academic resources due to inaccessibility to paid resources and many ad pop-ups owing to unlicensed software were among the challenges experienced by the respondents. Furthermore, stakeholders are enjoined to make available fast and affordable internet to ease the concerns raised.

Abstract

This research aimed to design and evaluate science learning activities using the STEM education model to foster creativity among students. Employing a type I developmental methodology, the study was structured into two primary phases: development and evaluation. In the development phase, contemporary educational challenges were identified, leading to the formulation of STEM-based learning activities, which were then tested with a select group of students. For the sample, a distinct student group participated in these STEM activities, with their creativity and satisfaction becoming the central assessment metrics. Results revealed a formulated STEM education model with five essential steps: introduction, problem identification, information gathering, solution design and implementation, and presentation. Following the activities, students' creativity scores averaged at 86.16%, surpassing the target of 80%. Additionally, satisfaction feedback indicated a high average rating of 4.65. To conclude, the customized STEM education model effectively heightened creativity among students, evident from their elevated creativity scores and significant satisfaction rates. Recommendations from this study urge schools and educational institutions to adopt this STEM education model due to its demonstrated efficacy in boosting student creativity and satisfaction, offering a structured methodology to tackle existing educational challenges and stimulate innovation.

Abstract

The pandemic had a huge impact on many things and situations, particularly the new normal. The researchers decided that field study of pre-service teachers is one of them because no one has ever taken the course under the new COVID-19 setup. The researchers aim to inform their readers about how the COVID-19 pandemic challenge will affect every pre-service teacher in the new set-up of education through online learning. Purposive homogenous sampling was used to choose 12 students from Rizal Technological University-Boni and Pasig Campuses. Researchers chose typical students, non-workers, and university scholars as participants. Age, gender, and geography vary among participants. Researchers used interviews and supported by an interview script to gather replies. Pandemic-related preparations have been taken. Thematic analysis is used to understand pre-service teachers' challenges in the new field study setup. Pre-service teachers face challenges in this setting, according to the research most are struggling because of the rapid move from traditional classes to the new typical format, causing unpreparedness and lack of expertise when they face more complex situations. In addition, slow internet and a lack of resources make it difficult to attend classes and meet prerequisites. Some have many restrictions, especially on classroom monitoring because of the pandemic. The findings imply that the study's premise is significant and relevant in today's environment, especially for individuals pursuing an education degree and becoming pre-service teachers. Pre-service teachers face new obstacles in the new normal.

Abstract

Education is a right to every child, but Sokoto is suffering from many issues ravaging education, therewith, a major issue is the Almajiri school. Because the Almajiri schools are abandoned there is every tendency that their drinking water is contaminated considering the rising pattern of pollution across the globe. The aim of the study was to carry out an analysis of heavy metal content in well water and propel some predictive insights for students well-being in Almajiri schools in Sokoto, Nigeria.  Samples of well water were collected from Almajiri schools in Sokoto state and metals were analyzed using atomic abortion spectroscopy. 60.10 ± 5.1 to 600.1± 0.01, 100.1 ± 0.5 to 600.0 ± 0.02, are the ranges of calcium, and magnesium macroelements determined.  The ranges for essential heavy metals zinc, and iron are as follows; 2.34 ± 0.05 to 5.00 ± 0.02 (zinc), and 0.54± 0.05 to 10.43 ± 0.5 (iron) respectively. The ranges of Pb, Hg, and Cd assessed are as follows: lead (0.0 to 1.06 ± 0.005), mercury (0.10 ± 0.002 to 2.501 ± 0.01), and cadmium (0.00122 ±0.0004 to 0.0761 ± 0.0001). The HI for the heavy metals determined are in the order of schools B>D>A>C. The metals determined are either excess or little (with respect to essential heavy metals) in many cases.  In one school, the HI is far above 1 and therefore risk the population with effects. Thus, can elicit harm to the consumers. They can affect the academic, cognitive capacity of the Alamjiri children. There is need to take proper measures to save the health and future development of the Almajiri child against heavy metals poisoning possibility.

Abstract

STEM schools have put priority on establishing research education as a core program that enables students to choose a topic of their choice, identify a problem, and find a solution to it through experimentation and other modes of data collection. At the Philippine Science High Schools, one of its key goals is to foster a research culture among its scholars, who will help to strengthen the country's academic and scientific workforce and contribute to its success in the future. To improve instructional teaching, the project-based learning (PBL) approach has been utilized in many academic courses. A cache of studies has delved into the use of project-based learning approaches in many academic courses but the research education. This research project aimed to evaluate the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) in the STEM Research curriculum of the Philippine Science High School – Luzon campuses. Select teachers from the Philippine Science High School have shared their thoughts through the qualitative interview tool. The use of qualitative interview tool is aimed to explore their thoughts and opinions regarding the various aspects of project-based learning (PBL) implementation within the PSHS research curriculum. Thematic analysis using phenomenological reduction shows emerging themes highlighting the benefits, challenges, and things that are needed to start to improve the implementation of the project-based learning approach within the research curriculum of the PSHS system.
