Encountered by Teachers Learning Materials and Facilities Basic learning materials' refers to textbooks, other reading materials, equipment and tools used for instruction. Today, the learning materials used to support teaching cover a wide range of media including audio-visual materials. Sheahan (2015) defines audiovisual materials as teaching tools that teachers use to complement their instruction, specifically in viewing lessons. Examples of audiovisual materials include movies, videos, music clips
focus on improving the achievement of students in mathematics. These research studies aim to convince educators to pay more attention to finding better and practical solutions for improving the progress of students in mathematics. Considering the importance of mathematics which provides students the ability to develop critical thinking skills and acquire effective ways of problem-solving, they should be equipped with skills and knowledge in mathematics. Mathematics allows every individual to model
will become "consumers of science, or critics of science" (Carlone et al, 2008). Therefore, in order to develop students into scientifically literate citizens, science educators must take students' cultural identities into account when making instructional decisions. What exactly is cultural identity? In order to understand this important concept, it is beneficial to examine culture and identity separately. Defining culture is a complex task, as it is viewed differently among scholars. Sewell (1999)
However, as students progress through their later elementary and middle grades mathematics learning, it is important for instructional materials to continue including manipulatives. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (N.C.T.M.) Principles and Standards for School Mathematics emphasizes the importance of using manipulatives and visual representations, as well as mathematical modeling, in each of its standards at all grade levels. (p. 1). Shaw (2002) states
CHAPTER NO.1 Introduction: Education plays a vital role in the development of an individual and also in the development of society. It is predictable for the national progress and prosperity. Islam gives more importance to knowledge. As the words of holy Quran in Sura “Zumar” it has been said:- “Can the learned and illiterate be of the same status?” “Do those who do not know equal those who know”. (39.9) In other words education is a long life process, it is imperative for every human being to

Education is one of the powerful instruments known for reducing poverty, inequality and for laying the basis for sustained economic growth. It raises the productivity and efficiency of individuals and produces skilled manpower that is capable of leading economic development. Tuan (2009) as cited in Dorleku (2013) described education as a process through which the intellectual, moral capacities, proper conduct, and technical competency of individuals are developed to make them cultural members of
Introduction: Technology has drastically evolved over the years to become one of the most used tools in today's world of education. And, with the evolution of technology, educational capabilities are growing and changing every day especially in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) specialties which are rapidly developing. In this article, researchers present a new form of technology-enhanced learning called: Immersive simulation. This technology is based on collaborative inquiry
several decades, but do we know what it means and how to achieve it? Without a clear definition, we have no roadmap to begin the journey to achieve an information-literate society. In addition to the term information literacy, we have heard about media literacy, technology literacy, computer literacy and probably several others. Each of those has a slightly different angle on what student will learn. Today it is imperative that student learn to identify a need information, and then to find the necessary
in most times it is difficult to explain since its concepts, methods and applications are always evolving on an almost daily basis making it difficult for industries to keep up with its frequent changes. According to the European commission ; the importance of ICT rely less on the technology as it is, than it is able to create greater access to information and communication in undeserved populations. ICT is also being considered as an assisting tool ICT has different roles on various industries. ICT
