This study investigated the impact of integrating multimedia into chemistry education in Bhutanese higher secondary schools and its influence on students' academic performance. The research focused on assessing students' academic performance through test scores and semi-structured interviews. A sample of 62 eleventh-grade students participated in the experimental research, which aimed to explore how multimedia applications affect the content, quality, and retention of students' knowledge in chemistry. Data were collected by using self-administered questionnaire and achievement test. Descriptive statistics and independent samples t-test were used to analyze data. Paired samples t-test was used to analyze data. The analysis result of the pre-test showed no statistically-significant differences, which in turn proves the equivalence of the two groups. The t-test result showed the significant difference between achievements of the two groups at a significant t- value of 0.05 in the post-test. The experimental group gained higher mean scores than that of the control group. From the self-administered questionnaire, result showed that when multimedia was integrated to teach chemistry, student displayed the high level of learning satisfaction. The findings revealed that integration of multimedia increased the academic performance and learning satisfaction of students in chemistry lesson compared to the traditional method of teaching.

The study empirically examined the Bhutanese teachers' perception of extensive reading. Thirty-four Bhutanese teachers responded to an online questionnaire and rated their level of agreement on extensive reading (ER) characteristics and the benefits of ER. Participants' questionnaire responses were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics. The results showed that 1) majority of the teacher participants accepted most of the ER characteristics but showed disagreements with a few others that contradicted the widely accepted views of ER. 2) Most of the participants agreed with the ER benefits in the overall development of language proficiencies in terms of reading, writing, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, and motivation, and the majority disagreed with ER benefits of listening proficiency. However, the mixed results of the study indicated teacher participants' misconception of extensive reading. Therefore, these findings suggest a need for Extensive reading programs and workshops for Bhutanese Teachers to elucidate the misinterpretation of ER.
本研究对不丹教师对广泛阅读的看法进行了实证研究。34 名不丹教师回答了在线问卷,并对他们对广泛阅读(ER)的特点和好处的认同程度进行了评分。我们使用描述性统计对参与者的问卷答复进行了定量分析。结果表明:1)大多数参与问卷调查的教师接受了广泛阅读的大部分特征,但对少数几个与广泛接受的广泛阅读观点相悖的特征表示了异议。 2)大多数参与者同意 ER 在阅读、写作、口语、词汇、语法和动机等语言能力的整体发展方面的益处,但大多数人不同意 ER 在听力能力方面的益处。然而,参差不齐的研究结果表明,教师对广泛阅读存在误解。因此,这些研究结果表明,有必要为不丹教师开展广泛阅读项目和研讨会,以澄清对 ER 的误解。

Bhutan's tertiary education system has grown significantly in a short period of time. Despite unprecedented growth and development, tertiary education in Bhutan continues to face challenges such as an inefficient transition from secondary to tertiary education due to a lack of multi-career pathways to absorb the growing population of high school graduates; quality of education and alignment of student knowledge, skills, and competencies with the world of work; and access to tertiary education through multiple admission processes. This study presents comprehensive reviews on the subject matter including the best practices of the tertiary education system in the Netherland and Singapore.

This study was motivated by the absence of studies examining the effectiveness and students' perceptions toward multimedia in learning concepts in astronomy related to the Bhutanese context. The study used an explanatory sequential mixed-method research approach with a pre-test and post-test experiment on a single group. The study examined the effectiveness of multimedia in learning astronomy concepts. Additionally, it also explored the perceptions of students toward the use of multimedia in learning astronomy concepts. The participants consist of 44-grade seventh students. The quantitative data was collected using an astronomy conceptual test. The qualitative data were collected from semi-structured interviews conducted with 12 students. Quantitative data was analyzed employing histograms and paired samples t-tests. To generate themes for the qualitative data, Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis was used in the study. The semi-structured interview data were analyzed to get the students' perceptions of multimedia. The quantitative result indicated that after the multimedia intervention, the performance on the astronomy conceptual test significantly improved. Moreover, students' perceptions were positive towards multimedia. However, students face certain challenges such as time constraints and being unable to discern appropriate information for astronomy concepts. It was recommended that multimedia could be used to learn concepts in astronomy.

The study explored the effectiveness of blended learning on students' academic performance in grade IX history subjects. A total of 51 students of grade IX participated in the study. The study employed a quasi-experiment approach. The study conducted an independent sample t-test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and one-way ANOVA test. The results of the study revealed that the blended learning approach (experiment group, M = 15.2, SD = 1.3) was more effective than the traditional learning approach (control group, M = 12.8, SD = 2.6) with a significant mean difference between these two groups (p = .000, p < .05). Thus, it can be concluded that blended learning approach was effective in increasing students' academic performance in history subject. It is recommended that a blended learning approach can be carried out in schools to improve students' academic performance. Further, the present study focused only on students of grade IX, a study may be carried out across schools to get a deep understanding of the subject.

Teaching Biology in an innovative way has always posed challenges due to its complex terminology and abstract concepts. This study explored the effects of reality pedagogy as an alternative instructional strategy on learner motivation and academic performance in learning biology at the ninth-grade level. To achieve this, an experimental research design was employed, including a pre-test/post-test assessment, Biology Learning Motivation Questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The findings of the study revealed that the implementation of reality pedagogy had a positive influence on learner motivation in learning biology. Additionally, a significant correlation was identified and observed between motivation levels and academic achievement in the subject. The implications of these findings, as well as recommendations, are also discussed in the study.

A single-paced method of instruction does not benefit diverse learners, which is why "one size fits all" teaching has been severely criticized. Thus, it is essential to differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of learners. Using mixed methods, this study examines teachers’ use of DI and their attitudes towards using DI in the classroom. Additionally, the study examined the impact of teachers’ attitudes on the practice of DI and the challenges associated with it. Surveys, classroom observations, self-administered open-ended questionnaires, and student feedback were used to collect data. Teacher attitudes toward DI seem positive, and they understand it well. In the classroom, content, process, and product are typically differentiated, with product being the least differentiated. Teachers’ attitudes and DI implementation also exhibit a statistically significant positive correlation (rs (22) =.75, p ≤ .001). In addition, teachers’ attitudes influence DI implementation. Moreover, DI implementation is hampered by crowding, high student-teacher ratios, time constraints, and a rule forbidding student from using their mobile phones. This study raises awareness about DI in the school system in order to meet the needs of diverse learners, who may not benefit from a single-paced teaching approach.
单一节奏的教学方法无法让不同的学习者受益,这也是 "一刀切 "教学受到严厉批评的原因。因此,必须进行分层教学,以满足学习者的不同需求。本研究采用混合方法,考察了教师对 DI 的使用情况以及他们对在课堂上使用 DI 的态度。此外,本研究还探讨了教师的态度对 DI 实践的影响以及与 DI 相关的挑战。研究采用了问卷调查、课堂观察、自填开放式问卷和学生反馈等方法来收集数据。教师对 DI 的态度似乎是积极的,他们对 DI 有很好的理解。在课堂上,教学内容、教学过程和教学成果通常是有区别的,而教学成果的区别最小。教师的态度与 DI 的实施在统计学上也呈现出显著的正相关(rs (22) =.75,p ≤ .001)。此外,教师的态度也会影响 DI 的实施。此外,拥挤、师生比例过高、时间限制以及禁止学生使用手机的规定也阻碍了 DI 的实施。这项研究提高了学校系统对 "自主学习 "的认识,以满足多样化学习者的需求,因为他们可能无法从单一节奏的教学方法中获益。
