Key Aspects

The acquisition of reading comprehension abilities and written expression is one of the key factors among learning processes in which students show many difficulties. For this reason, it is necessary to implement effective intervention strategies from early school years. The program EPI.com is aimed at improving lexical, semantic, and syntactic processes related to the reading process. This work aims to analyze the efficiency of EPI.com in years 1&2 of Primary Education. Participants in the research were 62 students (ages 6–8), who were assigned to an Experimental Group (EG; 38 students receiving the EPI.com intervention) and a Control Group (CG; 24 following traditional teaching and learning methods). The Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities and the Peabody test were applied before and after the intervention was carried out. Results showed that the strategy was effective in EG in improving the psycholinguistic aspects measured by the ITPA, with better results in the variables related to syntactic and lexical processing. Taking the results into account, it was concluded that EPI.com allows students to improve the abilities relating to reading skills. Also, the results highlight the need to incorporate interventions aimed at favoring maturation in some key aspects at early ages.

Integrating the properties of computer algebra systems and dynamic geometry environments, Geogebra became an effective and powerful tool for teaching and learning mathematics. One of the reasons that teachers use Geogebra in mathematics classrooms is to make students learn mathematics meaningfully and conceptually. From this perspective, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether instruction with Geogebra has effect on students’ achievements regarding their conceptual and procedural knowledge on the applications of derivative subject. This study adopted the quantitative approach with pre-test post-test control group true experimental design. The participants were composed of two calculus classrooms involving 31 and 24 students, respectively. The experimental group with 31 students received instruction with Geogebra while the control group received traditional instruction in learning the applications of derivative. Independent samples t-test was used in the analysis of the data gathered from students’ responses to Applications of Derivative Test which was subjected to them before and after teaching processes. The findings indicated that instruction with Geogebra had positive effect on students’ scores regarding conceptual knowledge and their overall scores. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between experimental and control group students’ scores regarding procedural knowledge. It could be concluded that students in both groups were focused on procedural knowledge to be successful in learning calculus subjects including applications of derivative in both groups. On the other hand, instruction with Geogebra supported students’ learning these subjects meaningfully and conceptually.

This study focuses on the teaching and learning of the pre-numeracy concepts through technology at Foundation Phase. It pre-supposes that the use of information and communication technology resources presents an innovative way to improve teaching and learning mathematics. The author argues that young children's relational conceptions of number lie at the core of their mathematics education as any subsequent mathematics learning heavily depends on it. This learning process is by no little means assisted through the mathematical activities teachers engage their learners and the resources they avail them, such as information and communication technologies. Principally important are the discursive interactions that ought to arise around the activities and the resources used. The author presumes that mastery learning is advanced by teaching using the variation theory. Teaching through variation aims to anchor knowledge; to make mathematical knowledge visible to amateurs through distinguishing the essential features of an ‘object of learning’ from its non-essential features. A treatment group was taught with information and communication technologies against a control group that used traditional teaching methods. Despite other intervening variables, the results of the study suggested better learning outcomes from the experimental group.

Situational Motivation

  El objetivo del siguiente estudio fue contrastar el efecto de una intervención en una unidad didáctica (UD) aplicando metodologías activas como la gamificación, en comparación con otra en la que se utilizaron estilos de enseñanza tradicionales, sobre la motivación situacional respecto a los contenidos de expresión corporal, en alumnos de 3º y 4º de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO). Para ello, utilizamos la Danza Africana como eje vertebrador en las clases en Educación Física (EF), y se analizaron comparativamente diferentes variables motivacionales teniendo en cuenta la Teoría de la Autodeterminación (TAD) en 98 alumnos (M edad=15.5; DT=.537) divididos en un grupo control (n=49) y un grupo experimental (n=49). Las mediciones se llevaron a cabo antes y después del período de intervención a lo largo de la UD a través de cuestionarios que medían el apoyo a las necesidades psicológicas básicas (CANPB), la satisfacción de las NPB (BPNES), la motivación (CMEF) y el clima motivacional (PEPS; SSI-EF) para comprobar la eficacia de la intervención. Los resultados sugieren que utilizar metodologías activas innovadoras parece mostrarse como una herramienta eficaz sobre distintas variables motivacionales del alumnado como: apoyo a la autonomía, apoyo a las relaciones sociales, autonomía, motivación intrínseca, motivación identificada y motivación externa. A pesar de ello, son necesarios más estudios para determinar significativamente la influencia de la gamificación sobre la motivación en las clases de EF.  Abstract. The objective of the following study was to contrast the effect of an intervention in a didactic unit (DU) applying active methodologies such as gamification, in comparison with another in which traditional teaching styles were used, on situational motivation regarding the corporal expression contents, in Secondary Education students. For this, we used African Dance as a reference in Physical Education (PE) classes, and were comparatively analysed different motivational variables taking into account the Self-Determination Theory (TAD) in 98 students (M age = 15.5; SD =. 537) divided into a control group (n = 49) and an experimental group (n = 49). Measurements were carried out before and after the intervention period throughout the DU through questionnaires that measured support for basic psychological needs (CANPB), satisfaction of NPBs (BPNES), motivation (CMEF) and motivational climate (PEPS; SSI-EF) to check the effectiveness of the intervention. Our results suggest that using innovative active methodologies seems to be an effective tool on different motivational variables of the students, such as: support for autonomy, support for social relationships, autonomy, intrinsic motivation, identified motivation and external motivation. Despite this, more studies are needed to determine significantly the influence of gamification on motivation in PE classes.

Science has brought about revolutionary changes in every aspect of life. Its impact is visible everywhere and in every practice of our existence. Thus, science education is a valuable resource in this world. If students have intrinsic motivation, they are active, curious, interested and eager to engage in learning process and the intrinsically motivated behaviors help them acquire knowledge and experience in science. Moreover, educational aspirations and career aspirations are enhanced through better science education. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the relations of secondary students’ intrinsic motivation and aspirations with their achievement in science. This is a mixed methods study and sample consisted of 2384 students in Grade 8 and Grade 9. Hence, an intervention was implemented to explore students’ intrinsic motivation, aspirations using suitable teaching methodologies and strategies. The results reveal that, there were strong positive relationships of students’ intrinsic motivation and aspirations with their achievement (r2 = .691; .687 respectively) in the experimental group. However, there were very low positive relationship of students’ intrinsic motivation and aspirations with their achievement (r2 = .012; .006 respectively) in the control group. Further, there were significant differences of students’ intrinsic motivation, aspirations and achievement before and after the intervention in the experimental group; t= 48.513 (1132) p=.000; t=53.689 (1132) p=.000; t=65.939 (1132) p=.000 respectively. However, there were no such significant differences of the above aspects before and after the intervention in the control group; t=-.989 (1250) p=.323; t=1.575 (1250) p=.116; t= .968(1250) p= .333 respectively. The findings of the study provided comprehensive understanding of the above relations, develop suitable teaching and learning methodologies and inform the practice in science education.
