Effective teaching of physics requires the use well-designed and diversified instructional tools such as multimedia throughout learning process. The main objective this study was to investigate effectiveness Physics Educational Technology (PhET) simulations YouTube videos improve optics in Rwandan secondary schools. framed by cognitive theory learning. A total 136 senior-4 students from six schools were divided among three groups taught with usual methods only, supported PhET or videos,...
This research explored the impact of using ChatGPT, a chatbot-assisted artificial intelligence (AI), on students’ interest and conceptual understanding atomic structure chemical bonding. A total 92 senior two secondary students, including 61 male 31 female students from Rwanda, were randomly selected to participate in study. The study used sequential explanatory design collect analyze data. pre post-achievement test was quantitative before after ChatGPT. On other hand, focus group discussion...
The present study aimed at analyzing the goodness of competence-based curriculum and usability textbooks related to this curriculum. It accommodated a sample 44 national teachers' trainers (NTs) on Rwandan new mixed research design where inferential statistics was used qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Using t-test, comparison between Knowledge Based Curriculum (KBC) Competence (CBC) found be statistically significant (at .05 level significance) in favour Competence-Based form...
Regular class observations are one of the means to monitor factors and dynamics that influence quality learning. From 2016, Rwanda education system introduced a new curriculum known as Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC), which ensures fosters more learner-centered approach. This study was carried out assess CBC input after four years implementation. For this assessment, reformed teaching observation protocol (RTOP) used observe 42 classes from 17 classrooms taught by nine teachers eastern...
Information Communication Technology (ICT) is becoming valuable tools to help improve education, especially during teaching and learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) subjects. In this regard, we conducted study explore the usability ICT in Physics taught courses. To collect data, used classroom observation protocol for undergraduate STEM assess how teachers learners spend time on activities among day boarding schools urban rural schools. We also surveyed physics...
Light has the most interesting phenomena among physics concepts. We designed light conceptual assessment (LPCA) to help teachers measure their students' understanding of phenomena. expected increases in student after learning about wave and particle nature Rwandan secondary schools. analyzed results 244 students using descriptive inferential statistics. The data revealed a low phenomena, this is connected instructional tools strategies used by teachers. Students confused reflection...
Abstract This paper presents the findings of a descriptive survey research that investigated what makes students dislike Mathematics and seeks potentially effective teaching practices, to boost their interest. The study involved 94 participants, including 60 lower-level secondary school 34 teachers from 5 schools in Karongi District, Western Province, Rwanda. Both students’ teachers’ questionnaire responses were analyzed using statistics. We found is related how taught. Low scores tests or...
Abstract Science teaching in general and physics particular often fail to meet the challenges of motivating engaging learners. Consequently, students do not adequately understand concepts, leading poor acquisition expected practical skills. In response this need, we conducted a study document teachers’ instructional practices students’ learning environments Rwandan secondary schools. We used Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM collect data. For three months, observed 34...
Effective teaching and learning of mathematics are vital not only for examination or assessment purposes but also empowering learners to live in a modern age science, mathematics, engineering enable them role-play the social economic development developing countries whole world as well. This study reveals insights teachers students regarding Rwanda. The was survey designed involving 217 ordinary level secondary school 25 who teach Mathematics, from 5 schools Karongi District, Western...
This research study focused on investigating the use of 5Es instructional model by physics teachers and how impacts learning process basic concepts electromagnetic waves in physics. In this study, six advanced-level four secondary schools within Rwamagana district Rwanda were purposively selected to participate. To collect data, 48 classroom observations conducted, data collected from observation lesson delivery for all analyzed through descriptive statistics. Before training, overall scores...
The aim of the present study is to reveal teachers’ role in teaching and learners’ responsibility learning Science Elementary Technology Rwanda. source information classroom observation (Upper Primary) from 6 schools purposively selected Kayonza District. Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories System analysis research tools revealed that: instructors’ was found, giver. Teachers had low facilitation were deciding alone on content be taught; concerning their encouragement for learning, it...
It is natural for students to expect appropriate behaviours from their teachers. Not only but also every human being appreciates care surrounding individuals. Within the classroom, can feel less motivated take part in learning of given course with teacher who has offensive behaviours. The purpose this study was explore students’ reflections about what they consider be appreciable behaviors mathematics teachers, learn. intended find out whether there a link between teachers' and students'...
Lesson planning is a crucial roadmap guiding the teacher before implementation of lesson. In current study, we aimed at reviewing pedagogical documents used by Rwandan physics teachers. We gathered 32 lesson plans related to optics topics from five teachers and analyzed them using plan analysis protocol (LPAP) evaluation form (LPEF) jointly. have found that do not prepare these as required newly introduced competence-based curriculum. Teachers for low levels Bloom's cognitive affective...
Lesson planning is important in an educational setting. This study assessed how Rwandan tutors and teachers prepare lesson plans (LPs) before implementing them a classroom. We employed current standard plan analysis protocol (LPAP) developed by researchers from Rwanda to code data. collected representative sample of 119 mathematics science subject teacher training college secondary school for serve its usability. The results revealed that only 11% LPs were teachable as they rated both good...
This scientometric study explores the integration of information technologies into physics education within African context, addressing five primary research questions. The methodology employed a multi-faceted data collection approach, utilizing AI models. ChatGPT was used to search possible derivative keywords, Web Science, Scilit.net, and other academic databases source relevant articles, R programming analyze data. After filtering, focused on final dataset 226 articles for in-depth...
Classroom observation has played a role in documenting classroom practices to improve teaching and learning outcomes. This dataset allows teachers, researchers, educational policymakers reanalyze it depending on the interest variables understand Rwanda's current physics education. The data was collected among qualified teachers from selected schools Kigali city rural eastern province Rwanda. were using Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) for Undergraduate STEM (COPUS). article...
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mechanics, as a large part of physics, shows the most basic concepts we encounter in our daily lives. With this regard, implemented mechanics baseline test (MBT) to University Rwanda - College Education before and after teaching module track students learning. About 38 participated study. We found instructional strategies used fit model named "teaching learning bucket" (lecturer backing learners owning learning) during data analysis. The results showed...
