This study aimed for using flipped classroom to develop scientific communication and the attitude towards technology acceptance in science learning among intermediate school students. For this purpose, the quasi-experimental design with the experimental and the control group method was used. The sample involved (49) third intermediate stage students from two different schools in Wadi Al-Dawasir Governorate, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A list of written scientific communication levels suitable for intermediate school students and a procedural model for learning with flipped classes were presented. The study applied the scientific communication test and the technology acceptance in the science learning scale. The statistical analyses revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the means of the scores of the experimental and control group students in the scientific communication scale and the technology acceptance in the science learning scale in favor of the experimental group. Recommendations and suggestions were presented.

This study examines the implementation of flipped classroom with peer instruction teaching strategy to Grade 7 public high school students in Laguna, Philippines.  To analyze the effect of flipped classroom with peer instruction on Chemistry achievement, a two-group quasi-experimental pretest-posttest research design was used. In addition, student perception and participation were conducted using a post-implementation survey. In the flipped classroom with peer instruction, the students were introduced to the lesson using the science courseware developed by the Department of Science and Technology and YouTube videos as pre-class activities. The in-class activity was focused on answering concept questions through peer instruction. Findings show that the two groups of students significantly increased their Chemistry achievement after the implementation of the teaching strategies. However, the students in the flipped classroom with peer instruction had higher Chemistry achievement, high level of participation, and wide acceptance of the teaching strategy than the control group. With this teaching strategy, the students were able to complete their assigned tasks on time, show cooperative and supportive attitude during classroom discussion and activities, share ideas in class, and show respect for the opinion of others. On the contrary, students in the traditional classroom with peer instruction setup performed poorly on these aspects of classroom participation.

The aim of the research is to identify the role of student activities in developing some aspects of mobility among students in Al Hudaybiyah intermediate school. To achieve this goal, the researcher used the analytical descriptive method. The researcher also used a set of study tools, including a rectometer, a medical balance and a stopwatch, as well as a set of tests that develop the physical aspects of students. The study sample consisted of (60) students from Al Hudaybiyah Middle School in Hafr Al Batin Governorate in Saudi Arabia. They were divided into two groups, one experimental and the other 30 students. The program was implemented in the first semester of 1439/1440 E. The results of the study showed the following: • There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the tribal and remote measurements of the control group in favor of dimension measurements in some physical aspects under consideration. • There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the tribal and remote measurements of the experimental group in favor of dimension measurements in some physical aspects in question. • There are statistically significant differences between the averages of the two dimensional measurements of the control and experimental groups in favor of the post-measurement of the experimental group in some physical aspects. • The effectiveness of the proposed program for the development of physical skills for middle school students. The study recommended focusing on student activities in the intermediate stage and the need to implement many programs of activities that help to improve the physical fitness of students.

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.

Kodály-inspired pedagogy enables students to participate effectively in a music course by engaging in active musical interactions with folk songs and melodies. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Kodály-inspired pedagogy on recorder performance and attitudes toward music of secondary school students. A quasi-experimental design was used in the study. The experimental group was taught using Kodály-inspired pedagogy and the control group using the general music teaching methods for 9 weeks. A two-way mixed-design analysis of variance (ANOVA) and content analysis were used to analyze the data. A Recorder Performance Grading Key, music course attitude scale, and open-ended questions were used to collect the data. Consequently, the findings indicated that Kodály-inspired pedagogy had a significant effect on the students’ recorder performance but the researchers could not find a significant effect on students’ attitudes toward the music course. Moreover, students in the experimental group reported improvement in their recorder performance and attitudes toward music education. The researchers recommended including information about the implementation of Kodály-inspired pedagogy in music teacher textbooks, providing in-service training for teachers to enable them to use Kodály-inspired pedagogy.

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether or not there is a significant effect of silent short movie on EFL writing achievement of the vocational high school students. This study was quasi-experimental using a nonrandomized control group, pretest-posttest design. There were 61 students who were selected randomly from the 10 classes of tenth-graders of the 6th State Vocational School in Samarinda. The instruments used in the study was writing test. The result revealed that the vocational high school tenth grade students who were taught by silent short movie (M = 8.01, SD = .32) got significantly different achievement in EFL writing than did the vocational high school tenth grade students who were not taught by silent short, t(58) = -2.22, p = .030. This result suggests that the writing aspects which the students significantly outperformed were text organization, sentence formation, grammar, vocabulary, mechanics, and tidiness.

This quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Blended Learning Approach on graduate school students’ intrinsic motivation to learn, achievement, efficiency on project completion, and attitude towards coursework. The study used two groups, the control and experimental group which covered 30 students for each group. Students in the control group were exposed to the face-to-face instructional mode while the experimental group was exposed to the blended mode of instruction. Survey questionnaires, achievement tests, and documentary analyses were the data-gathering modalities that were utilized. The data were treated using mean, scales, and t-test. Results show that the BLA enhanced students’ intrinsic motivation to learn, efficiency in project completion, and achievement in the course, however, yielded no significant effect on their attitude toward their coursework.
