The technological characteristics of today’s society have favored the inclusion of information and communication technology (ICT) and the emergence of new training methodologies in educational spaces. This study addresses flipped learning as an innovative approach in the teaching and learning processes of physical education at two educational stages, primary and secondary education. The objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of flipped learning with respect to traditional methodology. A descriptive and correlational experimental research design was used through a quantitative perspective. Two study groups were established, one control (traditional methodology) and one experimental (flipped learning) in each educational stage. A total of 119 students from an educational center in Ceuta (Spain) participated. These participants were chosen intentionally. The data were collected through a questionnaire. The results show that the experimental group obtained better evaluations in the academic indicators, highlighting the motivation, autonomy, and interactions between the different agents. Regarding the effectiveness of flipped learning according to the educational stage, its potential was demonstrated in both stages, highlighting a significant improvement in autonomy in secondary education.

This paper presents the “Big Ideas of Science” set as an alternative means of organizing science educational content in an interdisciplinary way that goes beyond the traditional subject-based organizational structures. The “Big Ideas of Science” refers to a set of phrases which overarch all science subject domains and briefly describe our world; from the macrocosm to the microcosm. Building upon previous work done in the field, we introduce a set of phrases (eight) which constitute our proposed “Big Ideas of Science”. Our team carried out a research with teachers in primary and secondary education, and a small group of stakeholders, so as to examine the degree to which this set of phrases could facilitate science teaching and learning. In our research, we introduced to participants the “Big Ideas of Science” as an organization scheme that promotes interdisciplinary learning and it allows students to build more effectively on their existing knowledge by making connections between concepts and principles taught in different science disciplines. Our results indicate that such an organization scheme could be beneficial to teachers and students, as it can play or act as a backbone structure that promotes interdisciplinary science learning, and enable students to make easy connections between subjects taught. In addition, based on the feedback from stakeholders, the “Big Ideas of Science” could be helpful in promoting interdisciplinary learning, as they can be used to organize science content in schools in a sustainable way that is not affected by curriculum changes.

The teacher is a professional educator with the main task of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, evaluating and evaluating students in the formal education pathway, at the level of primary and secondary education. Therefore, increasing teacher discipline in carrying out tasks is very important in the smoothness and success of the school in achieving its objectives. However, based on preliminary observations, researchers still find teachers who are late to school for various reasons and there are still teachers who are late in class. Overcoming this problem researchers use the reward and punishment method. The results showed, in the first cycle, the average total of teachers who were late for school was 59.9% and the average teacher who was late for class in the teaching and learning process was 79.9%. after the second cycle, the results of observations of the discipline of teachers coming to school and attending classes showed a large increase, this was evidenced by the increased discipline of teachers in terms of attending school and being present on time in the teaching and learning process. The average value of teachers who attend school late in the second cycle dropped to 19.9% and the average value of teachers who were late to attend the class dropped to 26.6%. this result proves that by applying the reward and punishment model it can improve teacher discipline.

The post-colonial period was a turning point in Cameroon’s educational system. Since Independence and Reunification in 1960-61, the various governments of the Federal Republic of Cameroon, the United Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Cameroon have been committed to the development of Education. Significant resources have been invested in this course geared towards improved education quality in both sub-sectors of Primary and Secondary Education. The Ministries of Primary and Secondary Education continue to be amongst the top ministries to receive the highest allocation from the state budget with 19.7% in 2010 and 16.3% in 2011 (Cameroon, 2015). However, there still exist challenges to quality education in Cameroon that the government has continued to address through, formation of commission, committees, and taskforces that have influenced curriculum policy formulation and implementation. In this respect, the formulation of education policy of bilingualism to use in the teaching and learning in Cameroon schools has been one of the main concerns of education in Cameroon. There is therefore need to asses and monitor progress of how this has guided teaching and learning in schools. How this policy has evolved overtime and especially how it is serving the purpose for which it was formulated. Using the Historical approach this study provides an opportunity to critically examine the efforts made in Cameroon in implementing the policy of bilingualism formulated for teaching in primary and secondary schools after independence and reunification. It sheds light in the meaning of bilingualism in the context of school application and broadens discussions on challenges faced by stakeholders in the implementation process. Furthermore, as the country, looks towards the achievement of the millennium development goals and education for sustainable development, the study provides recommendations to optimize bilingualism in Schools in Cameroon.

The research presented below aims to describe and analyse the teaching strategies and supports obtained by teachers in the province of Gipuzkoa who sit competitive examinations to access the teaching civil service in Infant, Primary and Secondary Education. This study opted for a sequential explanatory design with 469 candidates. Teachers who have passed the official examinations placed special emphasis on the first test (theoretical part and practical exercise), took into account the criteria of evaluation of the examinations and prioritised issues such as attention to diversity, evaluation, the competence of learning to learn, self-regulation of learning and the design of teaching units. In addition, they received valuable help from relatives, people linked to teaching with whom they have a close relationship, and work colleagues.
