“…However, it is important to acknowledge that the effectiveness of the K-W-D-L technique in this study can be influenced by several factors, including the ability of the students, the facilitating techniques used, and the class environment. The K-W-D-L technique is designed to promote active and self-directed learning through teacher guidance, and its success is dependent on proper implementation (De Silva, 2020). Additionally, it should be noted that the technique may not be suitable for all populations.…”

“…Furthermore, the strategy is intended to enhance active learning by encouraging students to actively participate in the learning process by reflecting on existing knowledge and connecting it to new information (Sholeh et al, 2020). Furthermore, the K-W-D-L strategy helps students to take responsibility for their own learning and to make educated decisions about what they want to learn and how to study it (De Silva, 2020).…”

The ability to recognize one’s learning processes is important for learning mathematics as it helps learners to practice the thinking process of how each element works in solving mathematics problems. The K-W-D-L technique has emerged as a technique that could bring about metacognition in learning and it could be beneficial in elementary school mathematics education. The objective of the study was to examine the effectiveness of the K-W-D-L technique on the learning achievement of fourth-grade elementary school students in combined operations. The participants grade 4 students in a public school in the Thai educational context. They were cluster sampling methods. The instruments were a K-W-D-L learning management plan, a learning achievement test, and a mathematic problem-solving test. The statistics used in data analysis were percentage, mean score, standard deviation, one sample t-test, and effectiveness index. The results of the study indicate the effectiveness index of the learning management plan designed using the K-W-D-L technique reached the determining criteria. Moreover, both participants’ learning achievement and mathematic problem-solving abilities were found to be at the desired level of the class.

“…It has also been found that the teachers who have positive attitudes toward the course or materials show greater tendency and enthusiasm to their jobs and their classes and students so that they can retain their students in the class and reduce the dropout rate eventually (Toraby and Modarresi, 2018). In another study on the learning environment by Silva (2020), it indicates that instructional strategies such as student participation and group project may lead to reduced dropout rates.…”

Purpose This paper aims to address the issue of why students want to drop out from a course and suggests appropriate strategies to enhance student retention.Design/methodology/approach A sample of 260 hospitality management students were surveyed based on both Tinto's model of student–institution integration and a theory of planned behavior on student departure. The research applies data mining and decision tree using the classification and regression trees (CART) method as an analytic tool to identify a group, discover relationships between groups and predict future events for segmentation.Findings The results regarding the demographics indicate that the most critical factors of dropout included residency status, financial situation, quality of class and occupation.Research limitations/implications This is a limited US sample, based on student perceptions only and not lecturer or institution perceptions.Originality/value The paper provides empirical evidence of student perspective along with institutional and learning environment factors. It includes data from students who are currently enrolled (which previous literature has not covered) by testing student–institution integration and planned behavior on student departure.

“…Teaching reading comprehension encompasses a wide range of skills, including identifying main ideas, making inferences, interpreting figurative language, and analysing text structure. These skills are not only crucial for success in academic subjects, but also in real-life situations where the ability to comprehend written information is essential (De Silva, 2019). To nurture strong readers with a high-level reading comprehension ability, educators must implement explicit teaching strategies that enhance vocabulary development, promote active engagement with diverse texts, and encourage metacognitive thinking.…”

The objective of this study is to examine the effects of graphic organisers (GOs) as an instructional tool for enhancing reading comprehension among ESL learners. This paper presents a systematic review of related topics over the past decade, from 2015 to 2020, and found 31 journal papers that fulfilled the research criteria, representing the scholarly work in this field. These studies were published in journals indexed in Google Scholar, Eric, ProQuest, and JStor, and were selected according to a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The current literature review reveals that graphic organisers help learners visually organise and structure information, making complex concepts and relationships more accessible. They promote active engagement with the content as well as support the identification of main ideas, supporting details, and relationships between concepts. This enhanced comprehension leads to better retention and understanding of the material. However, the effectiveness of graphic organisers is influenced by issues such as visual literacy challenges, lack of familiarity with GOs, low cognitive level, and selection of an appropriate GO. In conclusion, our findings suggest that incorporating graphic organisers in language learning can be a valuable tool for educators to enhance their students’ reading comprehension skills. By considering the influencing factors, educators can tailor their teaching methods to optimise the benefits of graphic organisers.
