This research aims to investigate the effect of a serious game on the awareness of energy sources consumption. A weak experimental research design with one group, pretest, posttest, and formative test was used in the study. The research group consist of 17 students who attending a public secondary school in Giresun during the second semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. Students' energy source consumption and their views on this consumption establish the data of the study. The same data collection tools were applied to the research group in the form of pre-test, post-test, and formative tests. The quantitative data obtained in the experiment within the scope of this research, which was conducted in three-stages, was backed by qualitative data. SPSS v22 analysis software was employed to analyze the quantitative data of the study. The Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were used to reveal whether there was a significant difference in the energy consumption scores of the three tests of the study group. The expression frequency of the qualitative data was calculated within the framework of codes determined by content analysis. The study concluded that students' use of energy sources varies with the effect of serious games. It was also revealed that serious games affect students' use of energy sources during experiments and that behavior changes occur in line with the purpose of the game. Finally, it was concluded that the effect of a serious game on students' views of appreciating and esteeming energy sources was at first due to affective intensity, and then then it was behaviorally shaped.

In this historical moment defined by the coronavirus (COVID-19), the global community struggles with and against a seemingly invisible foe. Students, faculty, and administrators open the blinds on windows in the morning, witnessing the brightness of the sun and seemingly the clarity of a morning welcome. Yet, there lurks, not in the shadows, but in the brightness of the everyday sunshine, the possibility of sickness and death. This responsive essay weaves together my communicative rejoinders to the coronavirus and its implications for this challenging time in human history. I turn to the autoethnographic insights of Bochner and Ellis (2016) to frame the theoretical rationale for a conversation that rests within the dialectic of fear and tenacious hope.

In this essay, drawing on our ethnographic work at the &quot;margins of the margins&quot; in Aotearoa New Zealand, we depict the role of communicative pedagogy for radical democracy in sustaining spaces for community participation in pandemic response. Based on accounts offered by community advisory group members and observations of emergent community spaces of co-operation amidst the pandemic, we suggest that the ongoing work of building co-creative pedagogy for &quot;habits of democracy&quot; is vital to community response. The work of learning to learn together the habits of radical democracy in communities is permanent work that prepares communities for crises, simultaneously building anchors for imagining radically transformative futures.

Flipped instruction--the replacement of traditional in-class lecture with at-home, multimedia instruction--continues to grow in popularity. The existing evidence to support its effectiveness in K-12 science classrooms lacks substantial quantitative data to warrant such an enthusiastic embrace. The objective of this study was to clarify the relationship between flipped instruction and student learning in a high school classroom context, as well as to understand the interactions between students and technological tools that took place during flipped instruction. This quasi-experimental mixed-methods study compared learning outcomes in high school Biology students (N= 303) who experienced a flipped lesson to those of peers who experienced a control, traditional lecture-based lesson on the same topic. Average gains from pre-test to post-test were significantly higher for flipped students. Flipped students' completion of the out-of-class online learning activity was particularly important. Interview data suggest that the multimedia nature of the online activity, as well as its convenience, contributed the significant gains of flipped students.

In today's date stress has been an integral part of life because there are many things which act as a stress catalyser. Covid-19 has caused significant distress around the globe. It is not limited to adults only, but stress is increasingly affecting children of all age group. Proper management of stress is really very difficult as parents don't have enough time to properly look after their children. Generally, people have a common mind-set that stress is only caused by a sad happening, but the truth is that stress can occur through a good experience as well. As far as stress for students are concerned, there are plenty of reasons which can cause stress in a student's life, some of these are; mismatch between the student and the teacher which can raise tension and cause stress. Lack of much family attention has also been a reason why it attacks to all students. Children generally don't take care of their eating habits as a result of which they are more prone towards to stress. In addition to that the other reason of stress is insufficient sleep is a common cause and students all across the world are getting affected by stress because of it. Stress management among students is a hit-or-miss matter. In order to tackle the horrible matter most of the educational institute schedule optional stress management classes, but students often lack the time to attend. An attempt is done through this paper to know the impact of stress among students and the necessity of managing it in order to make the learning effective.

Functional dependency is a term coming out of mathematical software terminology. It shows the dependency of one representation (either diagrammatic or algebraic) to one another in the form of a formula, a conceptual relation or an algorithm. In mathematics, it is important since it shows students' understanding of those conceptual relationships if used properly. In this study, we have used representation of two mathematical theorems on DGS specialty of Geogebra: Napoleon and von Aubel Theorems. Both theorems are related with the geometrical relations of simple shapes as in the forms of squares and triangles. A class of 33 students divided into two lab groups were given randomly these two theorems without the knowledge of the names of the theorems to the students of Material Development course students. In each lab hour, students' assignment to the theorems were related to their seat numbers in order hence no one could see the same theorem person seating next to a student. The main study was a teaching experiment. Results are analyzed according to correct reasoning, inconsistencies, lacking diagrams etc. Data demonstrate that these kind of theorem use in mathematics classroom may be possible by Geogebra use and may empower students to think mathematically. Functional dependency is not connected to the task, hence can be given in all types of tasks by Geogebra. It was interesting to see some students' conjectures on the results of these two theorems.

This study is conducted to research the effect of creative drama on the student success and speaking skill in foreign language teaching. The study is realized with 20 students, 13 of whom are girls and 10 of whom are boys, who are attending to 9th and 11th grade of Mugla Anatolian High School between 2011 and 2013. Quasi Experimental Pattern, which is one of the quantitative research models, is used due to the lack of a control group during the data collection process. In addition to this, an empirical evaluation without a statistical measurement is done in the Elective English classes, where a more standard way of employing lesson is preferred. During the study, totally 9 workshops, each of which last 120 minutes and have a different theme are carried out. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection tools and techniques are benefited. As quantitative data, pre-test and post-test are used and as qualitative data, observation forms based on the visuals handed down, personal opinion letters and the observation of the researcher are utilized. Whether the obtained pre-test and post-test success scores show a normal distribution is tried to be measured since the number of participant group is less. Rather than a normal t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test is preferred for this measurement. All the obtained quantitative data is analyzed via SPSS program. Finally, when all the measurement tools and personal opinion letters reflecting participant group's views are taken into consideration, it is observed that the creative drama method which is applied throughout the process has shown a positive influence on foreign language.

Graduate student socialization has been studied in multiple disciplines, including communication. As their career trajectories change, faculty must consider how to socialize students into the field and their subsequent careers. Using a modified Delphi survey, we examined the differences in faculty and students' perceptions regarding the content of a graduate professional seminar in communication. Results indicate that students would prefer a focus on implicit norms and the hidden curriculum, while faculty would prefer to focus on disciplinary content. We offer recommendations for developing a course that addresses both needs and, thus, simultaneously attends to the changing job market.
