The purpose of this study is to propose a way for teaching models of light to upper secondary students. Even if the subject seems to be at the heart of modern physics, it is too difficult to be taught. This triggered us to design and apply a didactical approach, the evaluation of which seems to be beneficial for the instruction of this topic. Our instruction leads to better student’s comprehension of the nature of light than traditional instruction. The didactical approach, which is a proposal for scientific to educational models transformation concerning light, was applied during the school year 2016-2017 to forty seven (47) students – Experimental Group (EG) - of Upper Secondary Education in Athens.  As control group (CG), teaching with the classic way, we have fifty (50) other students. In this paper, it is presented the main research. We describe the teaching method and laboratory experiments in this computer supported attempt. Results and some general conclusions from the statistical analysis of pre, post and final tests are also cited.

The purpose of this study is to describe the use of software and simulations at a didactical approach-teaching method about models of light to upper secondary education students and non major science university students. Light and models of light, is a subject proving too difficult to be taught. A research - didactical intervention was conducted to secondary education students. In order to support the intervention, educational material was developed including the subjects: Propagation, Reflection, Interference – Diffraction, Refraction, Absorption, Analysis – Synthesis and Polarization of light. The didactical approach, which is a proposal for scientific to educational models transformation concerning light, was applied during the school years 2015-2017 to one hundred forty three (143) students of upper secondary education in Athens, Greece. We present the educational software and the assessment/evaluation of the software. Results and general conclusions from the statistical analysis of this computer supported didactical attempt are also presented.

AbstractThis study investigates the effectiveness of the reflection-based reciprocal teaching (RBRT) approach for Myanmar upper secondary school students’ reading comprehension in English. In the RBRT approach, the main frame is based on the reflective teaching model for reading comprehension (Oo and Habók in Int Electron J Elementary Educ 13(1):127–138, 2020), in which the reciprocal teaching method (involving questioning, clarifying, summarizing, and predicting) was applied. This study used cluster randomized trials. Two groups participated in the research: the experimental group, who were taught with the RBRT approach, and the control group, who were taught with traditional methods. Results showed that the RBRT approach has a strong effect on students’ English reading comprehension achievement. The experimental group increased its achievement on the posttest significantly, and the students’ results showed high effect size. It was also found that teachers’ reflection on the instructional context had a considerable impact on raising students’ reading comprehension achievement. The RBRT approach can be successfully applied in the classroom environment to develop students’ reading comprehension in English in Myanmar.

  This study aimed to identify the impact of technology utilization on the achievement of the tenth grade students in the field of national and civil education. The study sample consisted of (140) students from two main schools in the university's university. The control and experimental groups were selected randomly, And the study used the experimental method, where the first group was taught using technology as experimental, and the second group of the same material was taught in the traditional way as the control during the first semester of the school year 2018/2019, To achieve the objectives of the study, the achievement test was constructed. The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group and for the benefit of the experimental group. The results also showed no statistically significant differences due to sex. Therefore, the researcher recommends the need to generalize the experience of employing technology in schools and diversify in the use of teaching strategies, and emphasizes the need to train teachers in the design and use of educational software and modern techniques in the teaching method to achieve the maximum amount of learning and effective education.

The present study aimed at identifying the effect of differentiated education strategy on the level of achievement in the subject of vocational education among the Tenth grade students in Jordan. The study adopted the semi-experimental curriculum. The tool consisted of (Achievement Test in Vocational Education), prepared by the researcher, was applied to a random sample of two divisions of the ninth grade students at the Hashemite Secondary School for Girls, affiliated to the Directorate of Education in Aqaba during the academic year 2018/2019, to Division (B) As an experimental group, it consisted of (20) female students, and Division (A) as a control group, and consisted of (20) female students. The results of the ANCOVA analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between the students' average scores on the achievement test due to the variable of teaching method, where the control group obtained an overall average (13.03) in exchange for the experimental group obtained an overall average (17.95). In the light of the results of the study, the researcher recommended the training of teachers on the differentiated teaching strategy in teaching vocational education for its effectiveness in teaching and conducting studies dealing with the introduction of other teaching methods.


The Pair-work teaching method was applied to college students attending nursing departments and was conducted to assess its effectiveness after applying the Pair-work teaching method to the subject of medical terminology that is taught as a basic subject of their majors. The application effect of the Pair-work teaching method was compared with and analyzed whether there was a difference in learning attitude, interest, learning effect, etc. between the experimental group applying the Pair-work and the non-applicable control group. It is analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Learning attitudes and interests increased only in the experiment group that applied the pair-work. Learning effects were also found to differ from non-pair-work comparators, which were statistically different. This showed that learning medical terms using a pair-work has a positive effect on the learning attitude, interest and learning effects of the target students.Since there have been positive effects in the experiment group that applied the pair-work, it is necessary to study it repeatedly whether teaching methods using the pair-work are developed and applied in other subjects to improve learning outcome..

The objective of this work is to know the type of learning strategies used by the students of the Primitive and National School of San Nicolás de Hidalgo. The teachers of upper middle level mostly consider that the students learned to use these strategies the previous years, from their training. For this reason, regardless of the grade level that the teacher teaches, the teacher must make a diagnosis of what strategies they can handle that develops their learning, or teach these strategies to their students so that they can assimilate the content autonomously. It is a crosssectional, descriptive and correlational investigation. A sample was managed, made up of 378 students enrolled in the second and fourth semester of upper secondary education in the February / August 2020 school year. The research was achieved through the Assessment Questionnaire of Learning Strategies for University Students (CEVEAUPEU), instituted by Gargallo, SuárezRodríguez and Pérez-Pérez (2009). 1.9% have regular study strategies, 75.4% have good study strategies and finally 21.7% have excellent strategies. The results allow to conclude that the participants demand greater knowledge and use of the strategies of processing and use of the information EEP (grouped) related to the search, selection, processing and use of the information, so essential in this time when it exceeds the information, as a result of technological and scientific advances.
