Consistent with this, the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science, and Technology Development of Zimbabwe, adopted Education 5.0, comprising five components: teaching, research, community service, innovation, and industrialization. This case study sought to explore the understanding by science and mathematics teacher educators of Education 5.0 curriculum innovation implementation at 3 teachers’ colleges in Zimbabwe. Science and mathematics teacher educators, purposively sampled participated in focus group discussions. To gain insight on Education 5.0 curriculum innovation implementation, policy documents were analyzed. Emergent themes were interpreted, guided by the interpretivist paradigm, which acknowledges multiple realities. Findings show that science and mathematics teacher educators were positive that Education 5.0 curriculum innovation implementation would cause socio – economic development. However, diverse interpretations of the Education 5.0 curriculum innovation seemed to threaten successful implementation. Therefore, curriculum innovation developers should ensure that implementers understand the envisaged innovation implementation to counter the adverse effects of diverse ontologies. Also, conditions should be conducive to successful curriculum innovation implementation.","PeriodicalId":185168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Instructional","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125858273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was based on the ABC Attitude Model. Random sampling was used to select 102 respondents (students) in Asokore in the Sekyere East District for the study. A questionnaire was the sole instrument employed in the study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. It was found that school administrators and the mathematics teachers in JHSs in Asokore in Sekyere East District are doing well to motivate students’ to improve their achievement in mathematics, whereas most parents are not complementing the effort of the schools and the teachers by providing for their wards needs and encouraging them to learn mathematics. It was also found that even though most students agreed that mathematics is useful even at work places, they still think that mathematics is boring and makes them nervous, and therefore do not like to learn it. In addition, it was established that mathematics is not the students’ favorite subject; therefore, they do not like mathematics classes and solving mathematics questions.","PeriodicalId":185168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Instructional","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126670804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study applied the qualitative method and identified the issues that cause skill teacher shortage through causal relation analysis. The study used interviews with policymakers and administrators to identify the causes of the shortage of high-quality teachers in secondary institutions and discerned the solutions to ensure quality secondary education in Bangladesh. Adverse appointment and retention systems; and weak and stagnant teacher development facilities, were identified as the demotivating factors for taking the teaching profession. The solutions were found to enhance the attraction for teaching: firstly, by increasing salary, upholding teachers’ position in society and educational administration, and improving the working environment. The appointment and retention systems should be friendly by selecting and facilitating quality teachers. Lastly, a comprehensive and interconnected teacher development system should be initiated to ensure high-quality teachers at the secondary level.","PeriodicalId":185168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Instructional","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133701455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also looked at the moderating effect of school location and gender on the correlation between these two variables. In the study, a descriptive survey design was used. Using stratified random sampling, 222 chemistry students from senior secondary schools were selected. The instruments used were test anxiety questionnaire and chemistry achievement test. Pearson correlation and coefficient of determination were used for data analysis. The study indicated a significant negative correlation between test anxiety and chemistry achievement among students. In addition, there was no correlation between test anxiety and students' performance in chemistry when school location and gender were moderated for. It was therefore concluded that an increase in students’ test anxiety will decrease their achievement in chemistry and vice-versa, irrespective of their school location and gender. Consequently, it was recommended, among others, that the teachers, parents, curriculum planners and education stakeholders use cognitive, affective and behavioural approaches to minimize students' test anxiety to increase their achievement.","PeriodicalId":185168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Instructional","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117072496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The investigation was conducted in the Jalingo metropolis of Taraba State, Nigeria. Both correlational and quasi-experimental designs were used in the investigation. The study included 160 Upper Basic School II pupils as its sample. Data were gathered using two instruments: the Geometry Achievement Test (GAT) and the Attitudes Toward Geometry Inventory (ATGI). The instruments were validated, and for the ATGI and GAT, respectively, their reliability indices were calculated to be 0.86 and 0.91. The results indicate that while student performance in geometry is inversely connected with the laboratory style of instruction, student attitudes toward geometry are positively correlated. It has been found that 56% of students' success in geometry may be predicted by factors such as their attitude toward mathematics, gender, and instructional strategies used in laboratories. According to the correlation statistics, the laboratory method accounts for 74% of student performance in geometry, gender for 9.6%, and attitude for 7.9%. To foster a good attitude toward geometry, it is recommended that the laboratory method of instruction be promoted in mathematics class.","PeriodicalId":185168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Instructional","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133403831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used a mixed-method approach with qualitative and quantitative data to explore the execution and possible improvements for those multimedia classes. Five secondary schools were selected purposively from each of the two districts named Sylhet and Cumilla. From these ten schools, hundred students and hundred assistant teachers were selected randomly to conduct ten focus group discussions (FGD) with each of the two groups. Moreover, ten interviews were conducted with the head teachers. Besides those, classrooms were observed while the multimedia was in use, along with a case study in a school. Although head teachers and assistant teachers mentioned many classes using multimedia, the students' words and observed class information gave alternative facts. Almost similar types of outcomes were found regarding digital content development, monitoring, and mentoring activities. While teachers were optimistic about the quality of digital content and classroom teaching, researchers found those to be less standard. In terms of monitoring the multimedia classroom, the majority of head teachers were more concerned about the number of multimedia used in the classroom due to administrative obligations than the quality.","PeriodicalId":185168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Instructional","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133003684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
