Abstract

The teaching and assessment of measurement uncertainty in physics lab class has been an ongoing challenge under the Covid-19 no-access policy, especially in a Two-year community college setting with less budget. The tactile experience as a tacit knowledge must be delivered in words and students are presumed to be able to learn from reading and following the rules in a simulation, with an analogy of the learning of emotions in a literature class with the original words in the novel and the related movies. The transference learning process offers guidance to design the remote delivery of experiential learning in a lab class. The quantitative uncertainty in physics lab is an assessment of how well we know. The misconception that a simulation lab would carry zero uncertainty was found to be the more difficult for students to eliminate. When the teaching of uncertainty percent calculation be classified as a lesson at the average difficulty level, then the teaching of the uncertainty in graphical representation would be deemed to be at the next difficulty level. For the case with a single formula in several variables, the small change concept in algebra can be used to estimate the uncertainty when the small changes are in absolute magnitudes.  For the case with two or more cascade formulas, the use of simulation to estimate uncertainty from the variation of the simulation results would be practical. Teaching uncertainty examples and assessment rubric examples for experiential learning in remote delivery during Covid -19 pandemic are discussed.

Abstract

In educational psychology, metacognition is regarded as a pivotal component of successful learning, involving awareness and control over one's cognitive processes. This paper investigates the metacognitive strategies employed by college students at Emilio Aguinaldo College - Cavite, Philippines, with a focus on how these strategies contribute to their academic and personal growth. The study pursued a mixed-methods research design, integrating a survey adapted from renowned Filipino scholars to ascertain the metacognitive approaches of 25 Teacher Education majors during the Academic Year 2021-2022. The findings illuminate that the predominant strategy among students is self-motivation, despite encountering distractions that impede their task performance. Interestingly, it also uncovers the resilience of these students in navigating educational challenges amid the pandemic, harnessing metacognition to enhance learning and fortify their future teaching vocations. However, the study's scope is confined to examining metacognitive strategy improvement, relying solely on the self-assessed metacognitive levels of the participants. This research contributes original insights into the metacognitive strategies within the unique context of Philippine higher education, centering on a select group of Education majors and their self-regulatory learning techniques.

Abstract

Student attrition figures are a hidden metric in universities.  They signify institutional failure, inhibit branding and marketing campaigns, and displace blame onto individual students. Behind the thousands of cases of attrition are individual stories of shame, guilt, failure, confusion, and lost future hopes and aspirations. This article explores how students' in and through their diversity - can be supported to succeed. Critiquing the deficit model of teaching and learning and deploying both universal design and the abundance model of teaching and learning, this article provides new strategies for student success. We offer innovative methodologies to understand and enable productive pathways by students through a curriculum. The goal is to enhance and enliven science education and demonstrate the gift and power of well-qualified university academics aligning innovative research and teaching.

Abstract

This study investigates the advancement of underrepresented groups in leadership roles within the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), areas traditionally dominated by their male counterparts. Through a convergent sequential mixed method, data was collected using 105 questionnaires and six semi-structured interviews involving students, lecturers, government officials, and university admissions administrators in the STEM disciplines. A concurrent triangulation strategy was applied for simultaneous quantitative and qualitative data analysis, utilizing MS Excel for the numerical data and thematic analysis for the narrative information. The research also examined statistical documents to assess the enrollment disparity among underrepresented groups and the presence of specific development programs in universities aimed at addressing this imbalance. Findings suggest that targeted and culturally informed collaborative efforts can effectively encourage the ascent of underrepresented demographics into STEM leadership roles in South African universities. The implications of the study are broad, given that the research spanned two distinct universities, implying that the strategies identified could inform actions across different educational institutions to foster inclusivity and equality in STEM leadership.

Abstract

The integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in K-12 education is widely recognized as a critical means to ensure future prosperity, security, and a skilled workforce in these fields. This integrated STEM approach entails teaching these four STEM disciplines in a cohesive manner. However, several barriers have arisen, including the lack of a clear consensus on the key features of implementing integrated STEM education effectively. There remains uncertainty about which science subjects should be integrated with the other three disciplines and at what level within K-12 science education this integration should occur. Therefore, this study aims to establish a well-defined framework for teaching science through an integrated STEM approach (ISTEMA) and identify the types of integrated STEM disciplines employed in various educational settings through a systematic literature review. Secondary data, including scholarly journal articles and book chapters, were collected through searches in databases such as the Educational Resource Information Center (ERIC) and Web of Science. Data analysis was conducted using within-case and cross-case analysis methods. The findings of the study revealed that the framework of teaching science ISTEMA generally consists of six elements: inquiry-based, engineering-based, technology-based, problem-based, teamwork-based, and robotic-based learning. This approach primarily focuses on primary and lower secondary education. Engineering and technology content is predominantly integrated into the science subject. In primary education, science and engineering and science and technology are extensively used, while in lower and upper secondary education, science, engineering, and mathematics, science, technology, and engineering, or STEM are commonly employed.

Abstract

Demand for relevant skills and competences have increased with changing science and technology, globalization, and the intensity and complexity of the business environment across the world. This study investigated levels of engineering graduate skill acquisition and employers' skill needs as applied to science education. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study employed both primary and secondary sources of data. The study involved 275 participants recruited using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, and one-way ANOVA. The study found a wider mismatch between levels of higher education supply and labor market needs for indicators of academic, technical, interpersonal, and generic skills. While higher education moderately equipped engineering graduates with the majority of indicators of these skill sets, labor market needs for the same skills remain high. The mismatches between the demand and supply of skills have several implications, it compromises firms' productivity, result in market losses, hamper economic growth, competitiveness, and innovative capacity at the macro-economic level, decrease quality human capital by discouraging investment in education and training, and challenge graduates in finding jobs suitable for their field of study. These require universities and employers to conduct real labor market skills' needs assessments before designing training curriculum; shifting curriculum delivery from theory-focused to practical-oriented modes of teaching and ensuring learners' acquisition of skills demanded by employers; and establishing strong and sustainable linkages between industries and training institutes. It is also good if future research focuses on skills employees acquire at work through experience and factors attributed to mismatches between higher education skill supply and employers' skill needs.
