Objectives The purpose of this study is to increase the effectiveness of schools by examining how the factor in number of students per class affect academic achievement by school level. Also, by comparing and analyzing the differences by school level, I tried to suggest implications for each school level. Methods Accordingly, regression analysis was performed using the latest data on number of students per elementary, middle and high school class and the total national assessment of academic achievement among EDSS education public data to suggest how the number of students per class affects academic achievement by school level. Results As a result, there were similarities and differences in the effect of the number of students per class factor on academic achievement by school level. In the case of elementary school, the number of students per class did not have a significant effect on the factors of academic achievement. On the other hand, secondary school showed a significant influence. Conclusions The influence of the number of students per class on academic achievement was found to vary by school level. However, since there are various factors that affect academic achievement, it is necessary to control for other variables. Also, in order to confirm the effect of the number of students per class factor, it is suggested that it is necessary to analyze the effect of the number of students per class on the difference between the initial academic achievement of the subjects and their later academic achievement after learning in their class.

The Integration Strategy of Class Teacher Management and Mathematics Teaching

The professional and moral education of high school mathematics teachers will make classroom management work better, but their work pressure will also lead to classroom management problems. To do a good job in high school class teacher management and organically integrate it with mathematics teaching, we need to start from two aspects: mathematics teaching class teachers and class teacher work teaching, and penetrate mathematical thinking into daily classroom management, moral education, and classroom culture construction. Based on the attributes of the subject, we guide high school students to reflect after class to stimulate their self-management initiative through the cultivation of qualified class representatives. In addition, it is necessary to skillfully resolve classroom generative problems, change the roles of teachers and students, and integrate classroom management with mathematics teaching.

FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODELS IN SCIENCE EDUCATION: INCREASING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT THROUGH INTERACTIVE DIGITAL CONTENT

This study examines how flipped classroom formats affect students' involvement in scientific classes in high school, with an emphasis on the use of interactive digital information. The flipped classroom approach has gained popularity as a cutting-edge teaching strategy because it flips traditional methods of instruction by bringing online instructional information outside of the classroom and bringing in-class active learning activities. This study explores how integrating interactive digital resources into the flipped classroom format can improve student engagement, comprehension, and memory of difficult scientific concepts. Examples of these tools include simulations, video tutorials, and online quizzes. Data were gathered from a sample of high school students and science teachers across different schools using a mixed-methods approach. Pre- and post-intervention surveys measuring student involvement were used to collect quantitative data; interviews and classroom observations were used to collect qualitative data. The findings reveal that using interactive digital information in the flipped classroom paradigm significantly increases student engagement, with students demonstrating more interest and participation in science lessons. During class activities, teachers noted increases in their students' comprehension and teamwork. The study comes to the conclusion that by actively immersing students in the learning process and encouraging a deeper comprehension of scientific topics, the flipped classroom model, when combined with interactive digital resources, offers a potential method to improve science teaching.

Pelatihan Guru Dan Sosialisasi Literasi Numerasi Untuk Meningkatkan Pengajaran Di SDN 1 Wonolelo Kabupaten Magelang Provinsi Jawa Tengah

Around 2022, the Merdeka Curriculum can be implemented in all educational units, including but not limited to the Movement School. These include I and IV classes of TK-B, SD and SDLB, VII class of SMA and SMPLB, VIII class of High School and SMALB, and X class of SMK. Furthermore, since 2021, the UN has been converted to the Minimum Competence Assessment (AKM), which includes literacy, literacy using mathematics (numeration). For 18 years, Indonesia has remained in the lowest 10th place on PISA and TIMSS in terms of literacy, numeration, and science. Since literacy and numeration skills are indicators in AKM and PISA assessments, teachers must have the teaching skills needed to meet this independent curriculum. When teachers master literacy and numeration, they can convey material clearly and correctly. Teachers are expected to innovate to enhance students' abilities through a range of lessons with a student-centred learning approach. The servants collaborated with SDN 1 Wonolelo in the activities of this community partnership program. During the dedication program, teachers acquire literacy and numeration knowledge that is useful to enhance their literate and numerational skills. The benefits of this training include: (1) teachers become familiar with questions oriented to literacy and numeracy; (2) teachers can prepare a Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) with the integration of literacy and numeracy according to the Independent Curriculum; (3) the culture of literacy and numeracy at SD Negeri 1 Wonolelo has become active again.

Innovating with etandem language learning in a Quebec high school class: an activity theory perspective

ABSTRACT Purpose Most research on tandem language learning (TLL) has involved university contexts . To contribute to the paucity of research in school settings, this study focuses on a high school teacher’s attempt at setting up an ESL-FSL exchange in a Canadian intranational context. To better understand the complexity of innovation, the process is analyzed through the lens of Activity Theory (AT). Methodology The study was designed as an action research project. To facilitate triangulation, three types of data were collected: 1. student questionnaires, 2. interviews with the teacher and six case study students, and 3. texts written by the case study students. The teacher reviewed the manuscript. Findings In line with AT, findings focused on how the teacher oriented to the TLL project and the tensions which arose during its implementation. Tensions were located both within the ESL activity system and between the ESL-FSL activity systems. Originality/Value To our knowledge, this study is the first to analyze the complexity of implementing TLL exchanges from an AT perspective. The study highlights how competing discourses within language teaching (multivocality) inhibited the implementation of the TLL project and foregrounds the role of transformative agency in regard to the teacher.

NIRis: A low-cost, versatile imaging system for near-infrared fluorescence detection of phototrophic cell colonies used in research and education.

A variety of costly research-grade imaging devices are available for the detection of spectroscopic features. Here we present an affordable, open-source and versatile device, suitable for a range of applications. We provide the files to print the imaging chamber with commonly available 3D printers and instructions to assemble it with easily available hardware. The imager is suitable for rapid sample screening in research, as well as for educational purposes. We provide details and results for an already proven set-up which suits the needs of a research group and students interested in UV-induced near-infrared fluorescence detection of microbial colonies grown on Petri dishes. The fluorescence signal confirms the presence of bacteriochlorophyll a in aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (AAPB). The imager allows for the rapid detection and subsequent isolation of AAPB colonies on Petri dishes with diverse environmental samples. To this date, 15 devices have been build and more than 7000 Petri dishes have been analyzed for AAPB, leading to over 1000 new AAPB isolates. Parts can be modified depending on needs and budget. The latest version with automated switches and double band pass filters costs around 350€ in materials and resolves bacterial colonies with diameters of 0.5 mm and larger. The low cost and modular build allow for the integration in high school classes to educate students on light properties, fluorescence and microbiology. Computer-aided design of 3D-printed parts and programming of the employed Raspberry Pi computer could be incorporated in computer sciences classes. Students have been also inspired to do agar art with microbes. The device is currently used in seven different high schools in Finland. Additionally, a science education network of Finnish universities has incorporated it in its program for high school students. Video guides have been produced to facilitate easy operation and accessibility of the device.

Environmentalism in the English classroom: An autoethnographic analysis of a cinema-based didactic proposal

Environmental degradation is a global concern with cross-curricular significance. However, it is often absent from English classrooms due to educators' limited pedagogical expertise in this domain. This article endeavours to promote the integration of environmental themes into English language instruction by presenting and analysing an instructional didactic proposal centred on the film Avatar (2009). As such, the article explores the principles of eco-education and the possible advantages of employing cinema as an educational tool. The authors implemented a film-based eco-education teaching unit in two high school classes and assessed its impact through an autoethnographic method. The results revealed that, while the English students encountered challenges with the approach, the proposed teaching unit positively influenced their environmental awareness and proactivity. It also cultivated an engaging learning environment, thereby enhancing various aspects of their linguistic competence. Consequently, this paper serves as a model for the implementation of environmental approaches in English classrooms, an area that has seen limited exploration by researchers, and which both teachers and scholars have requested. In broader terms, given the nature of the participants’ difficulties when working on the proposal, the findings reveal that there is a need to update teaching methods in English formal instruction and to provide further guidance on the didactic exploitation of films.

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics undergraduates’ knowledge and interest in quantum careers: Barriers and opportunities to building a diverse quantum workforce

Efforts to build the workforce in support of the second quantum revolution are growing, including the creation of education programs that will prepare students for jobs in this area. We surveyed 186 undergraduate students with majors across the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines and followed up with group interviews to understand their perspectives. The project was designed to understand what these STEM students know about quantum and quantum career opportunities and their level of interest in pursuing a career related to quantum. We found that most of the students know very little about quantum. Nevertheless, except for students in the life sciences, there was an interest in quantum careers. Across STEM majors, women were less likely to express interest in quantum careers than men, but this difference disappeared when we examined only physical and computer science majors. Of the few students who had knowledge of quantum concepts, most learned about this topic from online media, especially online videos. Some students reported learning about quantum in high school classes, where it was taught as an extension beyond the usual topics of the course. The undergraduate STEM students in our study identified multiple ways they would like to learn more about quantum, including short videos, seminars, courses, certificates, and degree programs.
