“…Physics is a part of science that consists of theory, and the laws of physics are usually packed in the form of exact mathematical equations. Students in advanced physics mostly solve the laws of physics mathematically and apply them in different situations using simulation and experiment to be able to explain and predict phenomena (Mason & Singh, 2016b;Yap & Wong, 2007). In other words, to understand a physics concept, students must learn how to interpret and use logic for abstract physics principles and strive to create a coherent structure of knowledge.…”

Group discussions are often used to improve students' participation in the learning process. Unfortunately, the most frequent problem is teacher difficulty assessing the contribution of each group member. This research aimed to explore student performance in group discussion through two types of peer assessment. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and peer assessment. There were two types of peer assessment: internal and external. This research indicated that both types of peer assessment enhanced students' performance in group discussions and involved interpersonal skills, teamwork, and problem-solving. Both types of peer assessment in this research eliminated the students' laziness, reduced intimidation by the active students, gave all members equal responsibility, and provided feedback to help them develop their participation in group discussion. The students became more aware of the weaknesses and strengths of their performance. This study is expected to provide an additional method in the learning process for teachers to assess and enhance student performance.

“…This was also due to the students' inability to comprehend the physical and imaginative of images comprehensively. Yap and Wong [22] have shown that secondary school students have some conceptual problems related to the conventional mirror. Therefore, it would be useful for students to fully understand the construction issue of the image in the plane mirror.…”

This article deals with an exploration of a double superior mirage obtained in laboratory conditions and its contribution to the deep understanding of light events in specialized schools. It was revealed that an explanation of the formation process of a double superior mirage plays a key role in the adoption of knowledge on reflection and refraction of light, as well as its practical skills in a specialized school.

“…It also shows which tool is efficient for the study purpose to propound rules and facts that can stand on their own regardless it is true or not (Daniel, 2016). Cohen (2011) debates that quantitative research is used in epistemology and ontology regarding human behavior which can be controlled (Yap & Wong, 2007). Accordingly, quantitative approaches use theory to generate data (Daniel, 2016).…”

Background: Research design is the explicit techniques used to identify, choice, process, and analyze data about a research topic. All researchers must adopt and justify a specific research design and methodology. Aim: This study aims to explore the adopted methodologies by tourism and hospitality postgraduates, in order to shed the light on the importance of teaching a comprehensive research methods modules for postgraduates. Methodology: A qualitative research design based on an interpretivist philosophical worldview was adopted to analyze the methodological contents of tourism and hotel-related theses (N=188) undertaken at Fayoum University. Findings: While most theses (94.2%) did not consider/refer explicitly or implicitly to the adopted philosophy, only 5.8% (n=11) of them mentioned their philosophy, including Positivism and pragmatism. In addition, 100% of the theses adopted the cross-sectional as a time horizon while data collection. Implications: The findings of this study may be valuable for teaching comprehensive and effective modules on research methods for tourism and hospitality postgraduates. Limitations: This study was limited to theses conducted at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University. The future research may extend the sampling process to include a wider range of the postgraduates' theses.
