The main objective of this study was to determine the learning and teaching style preferences of the Bachelor of Science or BS Criminology students using the descriptive-quantitative, comparative, and cross-sectional research design. The respondents of the study were the 271 BS criminology students during the second semester, academic year 2020-2021. The study utilized the self-constructed questionnaire as data gathering tool. Based on the analysis of the findings, it was concluded that most of the respondents moderately preferred the all-cited learning and teaching style preferences considered in the investigation. The analysis of respondents’ preferred learning and teaching styles when grouped according to their profile provided valuable insights into the variations and significance of these preferences across different demographic groups. By recognizing and adapting to these demographic differences, educators can create inclusive and effective learning environments that cater to the specific needs and preferences of students, ultimately enhancing their learning experiences and outcomes. To enhance the educational experience in the College of Criminal Justice Education, it is recommended to implement age-appropriate instructional strategies and create inclusive, gender-sensitive learning environments. This research can also be useful as a valuable resource to guide the future researches and contribute to the existing knowledge in the field.

While distance education offered many conveniences, it was not until the COVID-19 pandemic forced educators worldwide to utilize this option more that its full potential was realized. After the shutdowns, some institutions began to realize the benefits of continuing to offer some courses online to accommodate students who seek the conveniences of distance education. During the pandemic, Texas AM University campuses in College Station (CStat) and Qatar followed the recommended delivery methods implemented by the university in March 2020. The two undergraduate courses offered on these two campuses were the subject of empirical study at these universities. To identify the differences between the two campuses, this article will compare the findings of a survey that was given to students based on their academic performance and participation in both in-person and remote in-class (synchronous) learning. The survey used finite answers to simplify the comparison between the two sets of data, resulting in categorical-type data. The authors concluded that, regardless of location, if distance education is carried out consistently, the results should be similar after a chi-square comparison of the data revealed no significant differences between the two campuses.

This study explored the implementation of a teacher-designed board game, “Castle of Dread”, to enhance the English oral proficiency of sixth-grade elementary school students in Taiwan. Grounded in action research methodology, the study was conducted over nine weeks with 26 students, incorporating three thematic instructional cycles: clothing, leisure activities, and illnesses. The research aimed to examine students’ speaking performance before and after gamified instruction, their motivational changes, and the challenges encountered by the teacher. Data sources included classroom observations, oral speaking assessments, student interviews, and reflective journals. Results showed that students demonstrated improved fluency and confidence in speaking, particularly among low-achieving learners. In addition, the game-based activities fostered higher motivation and peer collaboration. The teacher’s reflective practice led to instructional adaptations such as scaffolding strategies and rule simplification. This study contributes to the growing literature on game-based learning (GBL) in English as a foreign language (EFL) context and offers practical implications for integrating educational games in elementary language classrooms.

In education policy, principals’ teaching leadership is key to improving education quality. It shapes school culture and affects various aspects of school development, including teacher job satisfaction. However, there is a limitation of empirical research on how principal instructional leadership impacts teacher job satisfaction in Northwest China, a less developed area, highlighting a critical gap in understanding local educational dynamics. Therefore, this quantitative study aims to explain the impact of instructional leadership by principals on teacher job satisfaction in junior high schools across Ningxia, China. Underpinned by a correlational design, the study specifically focuses on the relationship between principal instructional leadership and teachers’ job satisfaction and the dimensions of instructional leadership that are most strongly associated with high levels of teacher job satisfaction. By analysing questionnaire responses from 372 randomly selected teachers, the research highlights that clear goal setting, effective curriculum coordination, and promoting professional development opportunities are important in improving teacher satisfaction. Interestingly, the study also shows that some commonly valued practices, such as high visibility and student progress monitoring, do not significantly influence teacher satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of instructional leadership practices in improving teacher job satisfaction and suggest areas where school leaders can focus their efforts to enhance the overall educational environment.

Ethnographic research offers comprehensive learning outcomes by examining the socio-emotional, economic and cultural components crucial for comprehending marginalized groups’ experiences. This study aims to examine the methodologies used in studies and the gaps in the literature on the primary education of tribal communities, highlighting the limitations of the current research approaches. Using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) of Arksey and O’Malley’s six-step framework, the scoping review has considered 19 studies of 406 research articles published from 2015 to 2024 across the databases Scopus, JSTOR, and ERIC. The review highlights that most of these studies used descriptive survey design, mixed-method research design, and ethnographic research design. While the first two document barriers, the ethnographic studies provide richer cultural in-depth also. However, gaps in the literature include a lack of interventions for specific tribes, such as the Mannan community in Kerala, India, and the integration of indigenous knowledge, which is only possible through cultural inclusiveness. The findings suggest that future research should prioritize interdisciplinary collaboration and teacher training in multilingual education (MLE) through ethnographic methods for developing culturally sensitive interventions. These recommendations aim to contribute to developing more culturally inclusive educational practices and policies in the primary education curricula.

The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education has become necessary due to the various global challenges faced in this area. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a pedagogical intervention based on the technology pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) model that integrates ICTs to develop phonological awareness and letter recognition in kindergarten children. The methodology supporting this research is quantitative; the phonological awareness evaluation test (PAET) and letter recognition test (LRT) were administered. The sample consisted of 118 kindergarten children, 59 in the intervention group, and 59 in the control group. The information was analyzed using descriptive statistics, a paired t-test, and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. The results show significant differences between the two groups, with the intervention group achieving better results. The TPACK model’s guidance for implementing the intervention, professional development in using and integrating ICTs in the classroom, and collaborative work among professionals are highlighted.

This research aimed to comprehensively investigate the challenges faced by physical education teachers in implementing physical activities towards health and fitness (PATH-Fit) as the new tertiary physical education curriculum in the Philippines. Employing a qualitative research design, the study engaged five physical education teachers from a leading State University in the Southern Philippines as the main source of data. The research participants were actively involved in focus group discussions and in-depth interviews using an open-ended guide questionnaire validated by experts in the field. The triangulation of results revealed five essential themes capturing the significant challenges faced by these educators in the implementation of the new curriculum: inadequate instructional references, insufficient instructional time for PATH-Fit, lack of training and retooling for teachers, unavailability of equipment and materials, and shortfall on administrative support and guidance. As this research contributes critical insights into the multifaceted challenges associated with PATH-Fit implementation, it emphasizes the necessity for strategic interventions to enhance the effectiveness of the new tertiary physical education curriculum in the Philippines.

Gender parity in education has improved in many countries alongside global and local efforts to promote gender equity. However, in Malaysia, male participation in related fields, especially science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), is increasingly at risk due to a subtle trend of a reversed gender parity index. This qualitative research aims to examine what makes up an inclusive STEM program, with specific foci on curriculum co-creation and gender responsiveness. Through purposive sampling of various stakeholders (n=47), several rounds of focus group discussions and interviews were conducted. Thematic analysis revealed key components of an inclusive STEM program, and strategies for promoting gender-responsiveness when co-creating this program. Moreover, these findings highlight the importance of enhancing students’ engagement in STEM through participatory decision-making and tailored interventions. The research contributes to both theory and practice by making recommendations for developing more inclusive, gender-responsive learning environments in STEM education.

Higher academic performance during the senior high school program and passing marks in the qualifying examination are the two major requirements before an aspirant tertiary student is admitted to a teacher education program. However, questions have been raised on the performance of teacher education graduates in the Licensure examination, which in the past decade, obtained a low national passing percentage. Given the scenario, is the entry-level requirement sufficient, or does it need further enhancement? This study correlates the academic performance during high school of 273 aspirant education students with their qualifying examination scores. A descriptive–correlational design was used. Results show that aspirant students’ academic performance during senior high school is in outstanding level. However, it does not match their entrance examination results in the three main components of the examination for teacher education students, namely: general education, professional education, and major field of specialization. For this reason, it is concluded that obtaining high academic records during high school does not guarantee obtaining a high entrance examination rating. Finally, several recommendations are offered after the conduct of the study.

The study looked at how conceptual modelling (CM) and conceptual blending (CB) affected students’ achievement in chemistry. This study employed a quasi-experimental design. In this study, 274 seniors secondary (SSII) chemistry students from six coeducational secondary schools in the state were randomly selected using simple random sampling. The information was gathered using the chemistry achievement test (CAT). It was used for pre-test and post-test to evaluate students’ achievement in chemistry. All groups received these tests before and after a six-week course of therapy. The mean/average scores of the 3 groups on the pre-test and post-test were compared using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) of the CAT data. The study discovered that CM, as opposed to CB, had a significantly bigger effect on students’ achievement in chemistry. Chemistry achievement was significantly higher with CB than with the lecture approach (LA). According to the study, when compared to the LA, CM and CB are more effective teaching strategies for raising students’ achievement in chemistry. Furthermore, it was discovered that CM was the most successful approach. It was suggested, among other things, that chemistry instructors incorporate CM into their chemical lessons.
