Abstract The teaching of physics should be supported by practical or laboratory activities that seek to develop the scientific competencies of the students who study physics, so it is necessary to propose innovative strategies, such as research-based learning, in which students answer research questions through the analysis of data, which increases the interaction between the student and the physical concepts under investigation. Therefore, the objective of the study was to analyze the beliefs of teachers in natural science training at a public university in Colombia who take the subject of physics on research-based learning, to provide information on how to guide the use of innovative strategies. The study responds to a type of quantitative research with a descriptive approach and was based on a field design. On the other hand, the results reflect slightly positive beliefs of students in initial teacher training who study physics about research-based learning as an innovative strategy, although it is recommended to expand the sample to generalize. Finally, the analysis reveals as a conclusion that the implementation of innovative methodologies such as inquiry-based learning for science teaching, especially physics, should be promoted and supported more effectively to foster motivation, skills development, and conceptual understanding. of the scientific contents.

Innovation literature sustains that the environment impacts firms' behaviors and this leads to changes in the firms' innovative strategies. Innovative strategies, in turn, impact on firms' performance, which feedbacks the set of decisions (and possibilities) about the innovative strategy. Although there is a vast empirical literature that support this theory, scarce attention has been paid to the changes in the innovative behavior, resulting from these feedbacks between past and present decisions. This chapter aims to contribute to that gap in the literature by providing a dynamic perspective to the firms' innovative decisions. Results show that looking at continuities and changes in the firm's innovative strategy helps to understand how innovation impacts performance. This way, results show that the sources of path creation are a key element behind innovation and more research from that perspective could shed light on the subject.

The subject of the research is economic, organizational and managerial relations in the process of forming an innovative strategy for the development of IT–enterprises. Research methodology: the research was in the analysis of the current state of innovative activity of IT–enterprises, determining the prospects for their development based on the implementation of innovations; the following methods were used: content – analysis of scientific publications; a critical analysis of the available approaches to the definition and research of the studied problems; comparative analysis and synthesis. Results of the research: the author's typology of innovative strategies for the development of IT–enterprises is presented. It is substantiated that in the context of modern socio-economic conditions, innovation is a priority aspect of the sustainability of IT–enterprises in the market. An innovative strategy is a competitive advantage for an organization and can increase its profitability. A model for the formation of an innovative development strategy for an IT enterprise and a step-by-step algorithm for its implementation, taking into account the interests of stakeholders, is proposed.

The aim of the paper is to present state of the art in quantitative research on the EFQM excellence model that will guide future research lines in this field. The articles were searched with the help of six strings and these six strings were executed in three popular databases i.e. Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct. Around 584 peer-reviewed articles examined, which are directly linked with the subject of quantitative research on the EFQM excellence model. About 108 papers were chosen finally, then the purpose, data collection, conclusion, contributions, and type of quantitative of the selected papers are discussed and analyzed briefly in this study. Thus, this study identifies the focus areas of the researchers and knowledge gaps in empirical quantitative literature on the EFQM excellence model. This article also presents the lines of future research.

The aim of this study is to develop a concept test on the subject of stars that is suitable for model analysis and to evaluate the conformity of this model. The study was performed using a screening model, which is a type of quantitative research method. The study also tried to fill the gap in the existing literature regarding the use of quantitative methods. To develop the test, existing studies on stars were first examined; interviews with candidates who were teachers were conducted; and finally, necessary amendments to test items were made after referring to experts’ opinions. To assure its validity and reliability, the test was applied to a total of 175 candidates who were studying at schools of education in the departments of science teaching of three different universities to become teachers; all candidates took astronomy courses and were educated on the subject matter. The final form of the test comprised of 26 multiple-choice questions, each with 5 possible answers. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of the test was calculated to be 0.735. In addition, the mean strength of the test was found to be 0.370 and the distinctiveness was found to be 0.390. Statistical analyses revealed that the concept test developed in this study is a valid and reliable test that conforms to the model analysis.

The research aims to study the teaching skills and evaluate the teaching skills of science teachers, and test significance of differences between the mean degree of practice according to the variables: gender, experience, educational qualification, and stage educational, and to achieve these objectives were applied a questionnaire consisting of (31) paragraph, to a sample Of (45) are teachers of science in the intermediate stage of the Ministry of Education and Mjardp. The researcher also followed the descriptive approach. The results indicated that the degree of science teachers and her teachers to teach constructivist was medium, and appeared statistically significant scientific qualification variable differences, for the benefit of graduate studies. The study recommended training courses for science teachers, to familiarize them with the skills of teaching constructivist, and trained to teach these skills to have procedures and guide administrators science with a list of skills (the subject of the study), during the supervision of the education in the schools of the intermediate stage and directing the attention of the authors and curriculum developers to take into account the good fundamentals in the article To provide learners with a leading to the development of scientific concepts in general.
