Flipped classroom approach for enhancing linguistic competence
Get PDFNowadays, technology has become an indispensable instructional tool. Technology-integrated teaching approach has been recognized in research studies as an effective means to address the declination of the English language’s linguistic competence of the learners. This research determined the effectiveness of a flipped classroom, a technology-integrated teaching approach, to a specific group of Filipino language learners. Utilizing a quasi-experimental research design, 102 English pre-service teachers enrolled in a state university were selected purposively to be the participants of the study and were categorized into two groups, the very good, and the good groups. The expert-validated pre-post-test questionnaire, course syllabus, and lesson exemplars were used to gather the data on learners’ linguistic competence. Results of the paired t-test revealed a significant mean gain of the students’ scores both from very good and good groups pre-post the employment of the flipped classroom approach. The flipped classroom approach is one of the technology-integrated approaches to be used to augment the learners’ linguistic competence regardless of students’ group categories. It is recommended that the flipped classroom approach be used by teachers handling different disciplines delivered in English to mitigate the students’ dilemma on English language proficiency

The effectiveness of integrated science, technology, engineering and mathematics project-based learning module
Get PDFPhysics is a tricky subject to learn, especially when it comes to students applying physics knowledge to the real world and its application. This paper aims to study the effectiveness of the integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics project-based learning (iSTEM-PjBL) module in physics on students’ belief-specific categories, i.e., real-world connection, conceptual connection and applied conceptual understanding. This research used the quasi-experimental model, employing a two-group pre-survey-post-survey design. Quantitative data were collected using the Colorado Learning Attitude about Science Survey (CLASS) instrument at two selected schools in Sabah, Malaysia, and Seoul, Korea. The sample size was 88 from Malaysia and 66 from Korea who learned classical mechanics. The students were divided into two groups, respectively, i.e., the experimental group (Malaysia=44, Korea=33) and the control group (Malaysia=44, Korea=33). Participants in the experimental group were intervened with the integrated STEM-PBL physics module, whilst participants in the control group learned physics through a conventional approach for eight weeks. Participants in both groups were then administered a pre-survey before and post-survey after the intervention. This research showed that the integrated STEM-PjBL physics module significantly improved students’ real-world connections, conceptual connections, and applied connections after the intervention. The implications and suggestions were also discussed to extend the research further
