After reviewing several research publications, the study concludes that narrative can improve student engagement, motivation, and STEM comprehension. The research uses qualitative methods such as case studies, observations, interviews, and focus group discussions to understand STEM education storytelling learning outcomes. The study found that narrative makes STEM subjects more engaging and increases students' STEM knowledge and skills. Despite promising results, the study admits limitations like the short intervention length and small sample size, suggesting that more research is needed to grasp storytelling's potential in STEM teaching properly. The paper finds that hands-on exercises and play with narrative can help young learners develop a more profound interest and knowledge of STEM subjects, providing significant insights for educators and parents.","PeriodicalId":445152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Learning and Development Studies","volume":" 58","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140991214","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 year-long study included 48 10th-grade students from two English courses using a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest assessments. Information technology-integrated instruction at two levels—lecture-style (for the comparison group) and DST (for the experimental group)—was the independent variable. In order to assess how well DST improves learning outcomes, both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered. This included critical thinking and English language competence tests as well as questionnaire answers about learning motivation. The collected data underwent examination through descriptive analysis, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), and qualitative content analysis. Our findings show that participants in the DST group surpassed those in the lecture-style ITII group concerning critical thinking, learning motivation, and English proficiency. Insights gathered from interviews underscore the noteworthy educational impact of DST. Both the teacher and students expressed that DST elevated their understanding of course content, heightened their curiosity, and enhanced their critical thinking abilities—essential skills for equipping students for the dynamic challenges of the 21st century. Incorporating stories from Palestinian culture, rooted in the real-life experiences of students, has been successfully undertaken to enhance the cultural relevance of DST. This addition brings a valuable dimension to the research, providing a more comprehensive understanding of how DST impacts students' learning experiences. By integrating these authentic narratives, the study successfully captures the cultural richness and diversity inherent in the students' backgrounds, thereby enriching the overall research findings.","PeriodicalId":445152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Learning and Development Studies","volume":"10 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140702330","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}

Through qualitative research methods, including interviews and focus group discussions, the experiences, perceptions, and practices of English language educators regarding Translanguaging are explored. The findings reveal varying degrees of experience with Translanguaging practices among educators, with some utilizing Translanguaging regularly in their classrooms while others are less familiar with the concept. Educators express diverse perceptions of Translanguaging, with some viewing it as a valuable pedagogical approach for promoting linguistic diversity and inclusivity, while others express concerns about its potential impact on English language proficiency and standardization. The study highlights the need for targeted professional development initiatives to support educators in enhancing their understanding and implementation of Translanguaging practices. Furthermore, recommendations are provided for curriculum design, instructional strategies, and institutional support to integrate Translanguaging approaches into English language teaching at Kuwaiti universities effectively. By embracing Translanguaging as a pedagogical approach, educators can create inclusive learning environments that value students' linguistic diversity and empower multilingual learners to succeed in their English language learning journey.","PeriodicalId":445152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Learning and Development Studies","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140266753","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}

Through the desktop research method and literature research method, this paper sorts out and analyzes the EAI and Satir's iceberg theory and finds a new educational model that can be integrated with each other -- the “charging model”. On the basis of EAI's ability to improve classroom efficiency, this paper proposes a “charging model” to explain and analyze its feasibility. It also uses Satir's iceberg theory to deepen humanistic concern and pay attention to classroom humanistic management to help students realize the third birth and fulfill the historical burden of teachers' “teaching and educating”.

Utilizing the Slovin formula, a sample size of 120 students was selected from the total population of 166. The Descriptive Correlational Method was employed to explore the connection between effective reinforcers and self-esteem, with a focus on these senior students who might be susceptible to academic stress and burnout. The study employed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem questionnaire for self-esteem assessment and conducted a pilot test to ensure questionnaire reliability. Data were collected via Google Forms, and a chi-square test was utilized to assess the relationship between student profiles, self-esteem, and effective reinforcers. Also, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was run to determine the relationship between self-esteem and effective reinforcers. The results revealed that natural reinforcers were the most effective in boosting self-esteem, with no significant relationship between student output and the variables. However, a significant connection was found between self-esteem and effective reinforcers. This study underscores the vital role of effective reinforcers in enhancing self-esteem.","PeriodicalId":445152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Learning and Development Studies","volume":"87 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135774368","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}

Teachers use the 2013 curriculum's standard teaching process in the primary activities. Limited time for English was the biggest issue with teaching it under the 2013 curriculum.
