Background. More and more secondary school students in Ukraine and Europe are opting nowadays to stream for Nature and Mathematics, which is preconditioned by the increased demand for the professionals in these areas. In this context, Scientific Ukrainian could be packaged into content learning of a range of science disciplines such as Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, and others if the appropriate CLIL framework is provided both for contact and distant learning and teaching. As the researchers claim (D.Koyl & D.Marsh), it is the development of speech operations and actions that affects knowledge and skills accumulation on the content level. Purpose: The purpose of the article is to revisit the instructional capacities of Scientific Ukrainian based on the syllabi and textbooks for the 10th-grade secondary school students majoring in nature and mathematics. The aim is to ground the dual focus on Scientific Ukrainian and content learning in upper- secondary school. Results and Discussion: Our theoretical speculations have led the authors to the conclusion that the language component of learning and teaching Scientific Ukrainian to 10th grade students should involve lexicography and working with dictionaries, lexicology and mastering the terminology, text search in media resources and its analysis, syntax of the scientific language and scientific text production. According to our observations, most Ukrainian 10thgrade secondary school students majoring in nature and mathematics are keen to master scientific Ukrainian for future careers related to the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. The distant CLIL instruction was carried out with the involvement of platforms and tools such as GoogleDocs, Zoom, Padlet, Prezi, Kahoot, Quizlet. The empirical part of the study, with 26 10th- grade students and their teacher of Ukrainian participating, has clearly demonstrated the advantages of CLIL in enhancing both content learning and language competence. Despite positive results observed, more research efforts should be channeled to the development of the criteria to assess every content component of Scientific Ukrainian as well as to enhancing cooperation between content and language teachers to create opportunities for using the new language resources by students in curriculum planning.

Innovative teacher preparation programs for STEM education are essential for meeting the goal of ensuring that secondary school students receive instruction from a certified teacher. This exploratory workshop examines the role that interdisciplinary STEM and mathematics programs can have to increase the number of certified teachers prepared to teach STEM classes from an interdisciplinary approach.

This article evolved as an extension of a lesson created in 1995 as part of the Kentucky Partnership for Reform Initiatives in Science and Mathematics (PRISM). We intended to work with quadrilaterals in general on our original lesson, but we thought that such a lesson might be too difficult for many students. Hence, we designed the original lesson to engage secondary school students in an investigation of the nature of isoperimetric parallelograms, that is, parallellograms with the same perimeter. We wanted the lesson to be appropriate for students at different levels of mathematical understanding.

Upper secondary school years have been considered as a critical period for attracting students into future science-related majors and careers; yet, Cambodia is facing a worrisome decline trend in the students’ choice of science track. Through the lens of the making of engineers and scientists conceptual framework, the study aims to investigate the factors affecting Cambodian upper secondary school students’ choice of science track. With self-rating questionnaire survey, which randomly covered 751 11th graders in nine upper secondary schools in three provinces of Cambodia, the researcher collected data on three significant factors namely individual ability and personality, family background and encouragement, and upper secondary school experience and support. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that performance in science and mathematics subjects, attitude towards science, plan to major in STEM, time spent self-studying in science and mathematics subjects, family encouragement, mother’s education, and school location significantly predicted students’ choice of science track. Some important implications for pedagogical orientation were also discussed.

An investigation was carried out to study the effects of television and internet on academic performance of senior secondary schools students in Rigachukun Inspectorate of Kaduna state. A well structured and designed questionnaire was adopted in eliciting information from the respondents. The respondents were sampled from schools within Kaduna state. The information obtained showed that the percentage of senior secondary school students who made use of internet for academic purpose was as much as those who could not operate a computer or even browse the internet. Good number of students applied internet mostly through phones and computer with internet access in solving their assignment. A larger percentage of students devoted their time to watching non-educative programs on television, even though it was discovered that some of them also watch educative programs. Positive impacts of television and internet are however obscuring and not glaring. Investigation carried out revealed that students in senior secondary schools need to be sensitized and oriented on how they can derive the best from internet and television. Schools should be encouraged in using television and internet as an instrument of learning and teaching.
