Teachers' professional knowledge is crucial for quality education. Despite efforts in Rwanda to train teachers in mathematics and science under the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC), there has been no investigation into the alignment between Continuous Professional Development (CPD) content focusing on the Inquiry-Based Teaching and Learning (IBTL)...

The current study aimed to criticize the existing literature on the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in teaching and learning chemistry. A comprehensive critical literature review was conducted using electronic databases such as Scopus, PubMed, ISI, Google Scholar, ERIC, Web of Science, and JSTOR. In this regard...

This dataset focuses on the impact of Continuous Professional Development in Teaching and Learning Mathematics and Science (CPD-ITMS), offered by the Rwanda Quality Basic Education for Human Capital Development (RQBEHCD) Project, Subcomponent 1.2. The provided training aimed to provide essential assistance to teachers in upper primary and lower sec...

The present research aimed to showcase the progress made by Mathematics and Science teachers at the lower secondary school level who participated in Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training sponsored by the World Bank Group through the Rwanda Quality Basic Education for Human Capital Development (RQBEHCD) project's Subcomponent 1.2. The s...

This dataset presents data collected to assess teaching and learning of quantum physics at the University of Rwanda - College of Education (UR-CE), Rwanda. Data were collected between August and November 2019 as the baseline, and between January and April 2022 under a quasi-experimental design. Three sets of data were collected. The first set was a...

This research aimed to determine the influence of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training offered by Rwanda Quality Basic education for Capital Human Development Project (RQBEHCD) sub-component 1.2 on upper primary teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) in mathematics and science, and elementary technology (SET) subjects. The stud...

Various researchers have reported that learners still have a limited conceptual knowledge of linear motion which may affect their learning achievement and motivation towards this subject matter. For this purpose, an investigation was conducted to find out the effect of the Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach with educational robotics on senior st...

Physics is considered by students as a difficult subject to learn because some physics concepts look like abstracts to students. Electrostatics is the one concept that challenges the students due to its abstract and difficulty to learn. This study aimed to assess the impact of using physics education technology (PhET) simulation on the conceptual u...

Physics education has been identified as one of the public sectors that are mostly influenced by technological developments. This paper adopted the quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design to assess the effects of multimedia-aided technologies (MAT) on undergraduate students’ performance in quantum physics (QP) at the University of Rwanda Colle...

Teachers teach more effectively when they are constantly updating their subject content knowledge and pedagogy as well as technology. This requires Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training programmes in order to cope with changing world in terms of nature of science, skills and technology. Therefore, the current study sought to demonstrat...

Students ability to build correct knowledge relies on their understanding of concepts. Students must understand the concept well before applying it in real-life situations. With the advent of technology, teaching and learning quantum physics has been made easier and more effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking and conceptual understandin...

Students understand math and science lessons better when innovative teaching resources are used. To implement a variety of teaching strategies and methods, teachers must be aware of and familiar with various innovative and effective pedagogical knowledge and skills. Some students, on the other hand, believe that math and science are difficult subje...

The research on students’ perceptions after implementing a teaching style is recommended due to its potential to inform reformed education. The present study surveyed 319 students and revealed their perceptions of multimedia usage in teaching and learning quantum physics. Among these students, 156 were surveyed after learning quantum physics with a...

Higher education for women is critical to the development of human capital and the overall sustainable socio-cultural and economic development of any country. However, women PhD candidates confront a number of challenges in gaining entrance to and completing their higher education. The most typical issue for women PhD candidates is juggling numerou...

This study was aimed at exploring the usage of multimedia during a quantum physics class. Five instructors and 385 undergraduate students at the University of Rwanda, College of Education (UR-CE) were observed and surveyed. Thus, the study employed experimental and survey designs. A standardized classroom observation protocol for undergraduate STEM...

span lang="EN-US">With the growing revolution in the education system, imparting quality education has become a priority for instructors and students in any educational institution. The challenge grows high when it comes to teaching advanced subjects like quantum physics. The present study considered the case study of the University of Rwanda Colle...

Background: Many teachers consider it challenging to teach children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in an inclusive classroom due to their unique needs and challenges. The integration of information communication technology (ICT) in the education system allows children with ASD to improve their learning. However, these ICT tools should meet the...

A subject of physics includes various complex and sophisticated concepts that pose a challenge for both instructors to teach and students to grasp the clarity in the subject. Many researchers have discussed this challenge toward adopting an appropriate approach to teach physics in the institution. Therefore, the study reviews the research articles...

Mechanics, as a large part of physics, shows the most basic concepts we encounter in our daily lives. With this regard, we implemented the mechanics baseline test (MBT) to the University of Rwanda-College of Education before and after the teaching mechanics module to track students learning. About 38 students participated in this study. We found th...
