The Impact

Introduction: The 21st century comes with its own challenges so far as the teaching and learning of mathematics is concern. This is because most of the senior students have access to digital devices that allow them to navigate the social media channels like the WhatsApp, Twiter, instagram, SnapChat, Facebook, TikTok and the likes. Unfortunately these handles are loaded with various forms of videos and other stuffs that these innocent young ones turned to love to follow more than their studies, thereby affecting their academic achievements. Purpose: The motive of this study was to enhance students’ conceptual understanding in circle theorems using the flipped classroom approach. Methodology: A sample of Fifty (50) Remedial students from the Bekwai Municipal Assembly in the Ashanti Region of Ghana was selected by means of purposive sampling method for the study. With the use of quasi- experimental design, a pretest post test method was use to gather the data on the students to ascertain the impact of the interventional design. In addition to the tests, a questionnaire was also used to find out how students feel about the flipped classroom pedagogy in teaching and learning. Findings: The analysis of the questionnaire came out that students enjoyed the lessons and their performance appreciated as a result. A statistical significant improvement in the students’ performance made the researcher reject the null hypothesis and concluded that flipped classroom approach impacted positively on students’ performance. Recommendations: It was therefore recommended that the flipped classroom should be adopted as one of the pedagogical strategies in teaching mathematics at the Senior High school.

The Impact

Recently, there has been a proliferation of technopedagogical practices, based on the application of active teaching and learning processes through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The main objective of this work is to analyse the impact of training action through the use of augmented reality in physical education for the development and acquisition of spatial orientation, as opposed to more traditional training based on the exhibition method. The methodology developed is quantitative, through a quasi-experimental design post-test in 140 high school students in the field of physical education. The results indicate that all of the dimensions show a very high, significant relationship. The greatest difference in average is observed in motivation. In contrast, the smallest difference, although significant, is observed in the grades given by the teachers themselves. It can be concluded that the method of teaching through augmented reality is effective in teaching high school students in the subject of physical education, especially for the acquisition of spatially oriented content.

Multimedia learning helps students understand concepts. Almost all subjects nowadays require multimedia to accomplish their learning objectives, one of them being the Computer Networks course. However, the major population of institutions follows a traditional approach to teaching when it comes to the Computer Networks subject. Abstract concepts and principles are described by the lecturer orally and followed by illustrating some examples using the whiteboard. This situation has decreased students’ interest and problem-solving skills. Therefore, innovation of the learning model is imperative for a new development. This study discusses the impacts of multimedia teaching and learning of Computer Networks in the Direct Problem-Based Learning (m-DPBL) approach. A quasi-experimental group with pre-test and post-test design was used. Third-year students (N=276) who took Computer Networks subject from two different departments in Dian Nuswantoro University, Indonesia and five lecturers participated in this study. Two selected instructional approaches; one used direct instruction lecturer approach while the other used the m-DPBL approach. Standardised questionnaires of attitude, interest, and creative thinking, teamwork, and knowledge abilities were administered before and after three weeks. Learning outcomes were significantly positively (Sig. p =.000) in terms of students’ attitude, interest (Sig. p =0.001), and knowledge (Sig. p = .000). There were differences in the mean scores between direct instruction and the m-DPBL approach. Students’ attitude mean score increased 2.15 points (7,8%), students’ interest mean score increased 1.34 points (4,4%), and students’ knowledge mean score increased 11.22 points (25,9%).

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of maker-centred learning methodology on the motivation of secondary school students towards science learning using a quasi-experimental design pretest–posttest. For this purpose, a sample of 200 students in eighth grade (110 boys and 90 girls) was selected from two different schools in Madrid during 2017–2018 academic year. The experimental group selected covered the learning standards by doing a project in the makerspace, and the control group covered the same standards by traditional learning in the classroom. Data were collected through a Students’ Motivation Towards Science Learning questionnaire developed by Tuan, Chin and Shieh (2015). The results of the data analysis revealed a significative difference between groups in the post-test, finding a higher level of motivation towards science in the experimental group (maker-centred learning based), in comparison with the control group (traditional learning based). Findings in this study confirm the benefits of makerspaces in schools as learning environments that motivate students to learn science, so we strongly recommend the use of these spaces to teach science, allowing the students to find their passion and fostering a love of learning. Keywords: Makerspaces, motivation, science learning, secondary school, Quasi-experimental design.
