Accordingly, innovative, and solution-oriented approaches remain vital to enable environment-driven pedagogy in formal and non-formal education settings. This paper, which is located within the context of a case study that was conducted with the aim to investigate the application of distributed leadership in the teaching of EE in South Africa, reports on hierarchical power relations as impediments to curriculum transformation and implementation and, by extension, a hindrance to the infusion of EE in pedagogy. The results of this study suggest that hierarchical power relations in the schooling system hamper the involvement and participation of various stakeholders in key decision-making responsibilities, particularly, curriculum management. Accordingly, processes such as curriculum modification which are essential to enable the implementation of EE are impeded. The researchers of the current study argue that, based on its marked successes in various spaces, especially in the realm of education; distributed leadership could be one of the viable agencies to enable EE implementation.","PeriodicalId":41416,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Penelitian dan Pembelajaran IPA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41475554","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 descriptive online survey assessed different factors for successful science learning in a flexible mode utilized during the current learning setup. A total of 50 teacher education students specializing in science from the two campuses of a state university in Zambales, Philippines, responded to the researcher-crafted survey questionnaire (a=0.971). Results of the study showed that most of the respondents are using the online asynchronous learning modality. Almost all of them are using smartphones for their flexible learning. The college students strongly agree that instructor characteristics is a primary factor for successful science learning in a flexible mode, followed by internet accessibility, administrative support, course content and design, technical support, learner characteristics, and social support. Significant differences were noted in the factors for successful science learning in a flexible mode when grouped according to the learning modality used. Furthermore, positive significant moderate to high correlations were observed among factors for successful science learning in a flexible mode. The study suggests that schools may provide instructors with training and seminars about flexible education to further enhance their content knowledge and pedagogy in science, specifically in this educational disruption. Additionally, the university may craft programs and policies that address students' concerns in the current learning setup to avoid learning losses. These programs and policies could make the current learning modality more effective, efficient, and responsive to the students' needs, and more conducive for both faculty and students. Future researchers could conduct a further study to evaluate college students' experiences in flexible learning modalities in university for the past semesters.","PeriodicalId":41416,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Penelitian dan Pembelajaran IPA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42704963","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}
