Computational thinking (CT) is naturally embedded in STEM practices in the reflection of creativity, algorithmic thinking, critical thinking, problem solving and cooperation skills. This study aimed to measure the level of computational thinking in science matriculation students and examine the effect of gender and academic achievement in STEM on CT. The convenient sampling strategy was used to identify one matriculation college in the northern region of Malaysia to participate in the study. (CTS) instrument was employed on 153 science students. Descriptive analysis was used to evaluate the level of CT. One-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was performed to analyse the main effect of academic achievement in STEM on CT, followed by univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the effect on each of the dimensions of CT. The result indicates that students have\u0000a medium high level of CT with an overall mean of 3.51. In addition, the findings showed that there was a statistically significant effect of academic achievement in STEM on CT. The mean score for academic achievement revealed that good students scored the highest, followed by average students and weak students in all dimensions of CT except for cooperation. This study will provide insight into the impact of STEM learning outcomes on the development of CT to inform instructional design.","PeriodicalId":36930,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43646496","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}

Negative attitude of students have adversely affected educational outcomes and the need to improve this trait in students is the aim of this study. The study investigated the effect of the 7E instructional strategy on the overall attitude of students of the 11th grade, in Biology, in public secondary schools in Adamawa State, Nigeria. Four attitude constructs, namely; attitude towards Biology as a subject; attitude towards the Biology teacher; perception of importance of Biology and perception of difficulty of Biology; were used in the study. Two randomly selected schools were denoted as experimental and control groups and were taught using the 7E instructional strategy and the teacher-centered methods, respectively. A 38-item Likert-based questionnaire was used to collect data before and after intervention was given. The research question was answered by the means and standard deviations, while the hypothesis was analysed using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) statistics. The descriptive statistics results showed that the experimental group had higher mean scores in three out of the four attitude variables, while no significant difference was recorded on one variable. The overall attitude of students taught by the 7E instructional strategy and when taught by traditional teacher-centered method, showed that students’ attitude is positively affected, by the 7E instructional strategy. Therefore, 7E instructional strategy significantly improved students’ attitude towards Biology.","PeriodicalId":36930,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43377893","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}

This exploratory qualitative method study examined how subject matter experts empathised the cognitive and emotional experiences of the indigenous learners when they were designing a learning video game that aimed to heighten learning engagement in ESL classroom. A semi-structured interview with six experts was conducted. Once the proposed technology was ready for formative evaluation, one-to-one evaluation was conducted on three targeted learners to assess their usability experience. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the interview verbatim transcriptions and one-to-one evaluation qualitative notes.
