Generally, the fact that active learning is not a new learning style has attracted scholars to conduct numerous relevant studies. Unfortunately, most past researches were not from the perspectives of the benefits and challenges. Hence, the present study reviewed a considerable number of past studies on active learning benefits and challenges. The objective of this study is to identify the benefits and challenges of active learning on student achievement. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which comprises a review protocol that includes the subject to be examined and the best approach for carrying out this research, was applied as a research methodology. The SLR technique comprises three phases: searching, screening, and analyzing. According to this investigation, there are six cognitive-related benefits, and the dominant benefit is increased academic performance. Hence, there are six challenges in student factors, however, time restriction is the highest challenge faced by students. Finally, several recommendations were presented at the end of this research for the reference of future scholars.\u0000Keywords- Active learning; benefits; challenges; time restrictions; academic performance","PeriodicalId":37121,"journal":{"name":"Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42972197","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 study aims to examine international students’ behavior in Indonesia in regard with COVID-19 information consumption massively spread in both local and international media. It applied PLS-SEM to evaluate measurement and structural models. The results demonstrated that Information seeking and exposure cause the information overload. Information overload leads to anxiety, and anxiety brings about avoidance from COVID-19 information. Furthermore, Information overload does not have a significant direct effect on information avoidance. However, information overload affects information avoidance mediated by information anxiety. Therefore, it is advisable for government media to provide complete and accurate information related to COVID-19, especially that for international students.\u0000Keywords: Information anxiety; information avoidance; information exposure; information seeking; information overload.","PeriodicalId":37121,"journal":{"name":"Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43304852","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}

To determine the effectiveness of using mobile applications when performing laboratory work in physics, an experiment was conducted among 9th grade students at a school in Taldykorgan (Kazakhstan). During the experiment, the difference between the performance indicators of students in control and experimental groups was identified and the significance of the difference in these indicators was evaluated using the “χ2-square” criterion. The significance of the obtained results is that they provide an effective alternative approach to the teaching process in educational institutions where the traditional methodology does not bring the desired pedagogical effect.","PeriodicalId":37121,"journal":{"name":"Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44162505","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}
