“…26 Inquiry learning procedures are considered effective for the teaching-learning process in chemistry and possess advantages over traditional learning strategies. 27 Combating traditional approaches, virtual 28 and computerbased online simulations 29 have increased their popularity is the past decade, majorly because it provides an efficient route to incorporate the chemical concepts involving the complex dynamism of chemical changes and structures of molecules. 30 Moreover, such mediums allow students to receive and process more information than traditional learning techniques.…”

This article systematically reviews the pedagogical approaches adopted in high school chemistry education with the aim of highlighting the most effective evidence-based instructional practices reported in the literature. For this, a meta-analysis of 35 pedagogical approaches is analyzed, and their effect sizes (Cohen’s d) are compared in terms of students’ learning performance. In comparison to the traditional teaching approach, the data confirmed the effectiveness of using various teaching strategies in chemistry education toward student accomplishment. The results indicate that, in general, deploying chemistry education practices in secondary education improves student learning compared to control settings (d = 1.06). Furthermore, this impact is considerably stronger when the problem-based learning approach (d = 3.35) is adopted. Therefore, according to the meta-analytical evaluation, embracing various learning paths through creative teaching promotes academic achievement. In terms of instructional quality, the findings provide a comprehensive picture of recent educational practices in chemistry instruction, which will serve as the foundation for future educational changes. We believe the results of this study will promote a progression of intimation to evolve the current high school chemistry practices and pave the direction for future research in chemistry education.

Architectural Indoor Analysis: A Holistic Approach to Understand the Relation of Higher Education Classrooms and Academic Performance

The influence of learning space on users has been broadly accepted and tested. However, the literature has focused on single factor research, instead of holistic approaches. Additionally, lower educational levels have been the focus of interest, while higher education is moving towards multi-method teaching. This paper focuses on how learning spaces for different purposes (practice and lecture rooms) may influence academic performance from a holistic approach of learning physical environment perception. For this, the iPEP scale (Indoor physical environment perception) is used and validated through Cronbach Alpha and Exploratory Factorial Analysis. Then, multiple linear regression is conducted. The results indicate that iPEP measures near to 63 percent of the construct, which is structured in six factors. Moreover, linear regression analyses support previous literature concerning the influence of learning physical environment on academic performance (R 2 = 0.154). The differences obtained between practice and lecture room in terms of predictor variables bring to the light the need to diagnose learning environments before designing changes in educational buildings. This research provides a self-reported way to measure indoor environments, as well as evidence concerning the modern university, which desires to combine several teaching methods.These studies provide evidence that acoustic comfort is fundamental to support sustainable learning environments, which implement active pedagogies [15].Illumination combines artificial lighting and daylight to offer visual support and it influences visual perception, cognitive processing, behaviour, learning and academic performance [16][17][18]. Therefore, lighting design perspectives should be task-driven, as well as focusing on comfort to human health and perception [19]. Appropriate levels of visual comfort have been evidenced to improve social relations [20]. While daylight helps students to retain and learn information [21], long exposure to artificial lighting may cause stress and lead to irritability [22]. Buildings are highly artificial lighting dependent, as there was no concern about energy efficiency when educational facilities were designed, and nowadays represent a major factor of energy consumption.In traditional learning, the views through windows are considered as distractor, which may explain the lack of daylight through windows, despite its importance for children [23], who distinguish lighting requirements given the task performed. Nature inspires students through its aesthetic value and entails a restorative effect on the mind, which fosters concentration [24]. It stabilizes students' psychology and reduces their negative emotions [25], and leads to a proactive knowledge of the natural environment. This fact may foster a culture in which life-based learning is a must and encourage positive social interaction [26]. Landscape views and walls with living plants are correlated with better academic results [27,28] and may reduce stress [29], whilst increasing le...

“…Virtual laboratories provide an innovative approach to science education, providing students with facilities and tools to engage in practical experiments and simulations in a digital environment (Martín-Gutiérrez et al, 2017). This virtual laboratory is designed to improve students' skills and active participation in the field of science and technology, helping students see science as an inseparable part of everyday life (Hurtado-Bermúdez & Romero-Abrio, 2023).…”

The urgent need for a virtual lab as a solution to the challenges in implementing biology practicums in high schools is becoming increasingly important with the advancement of technology. In the context of biology learning in high schools, virtual labs offer innovation to overcome obstacles in practicum implementation. This research aims to explore the problems faced by students in biology practicums and seek possible solutions. The main objective is to identify problems and potential solutions in biology practicums for high school students, as well as to assess the feasibility of an inquiry-based virtual laboratory product design to facilitate biology practicums for high school students. The research method used is the Research and Development (R&D) approach, adopting the Borg, Gall & Gall model. The results show that a number of high school teachers face challenges in teaching biology practicums due to the limited practical laboratory facilities in schools. Therefore, through the development of a virtual laboratory product that involves practical activities and considers the issues experienced by students, it is hoped that students will acquire practical skills and conceptual understanding in biology, especially in the coordination system material. The implications of this research are that the development of this virtual laboratory can be a suitable learning resource for practical activities related to the coordination system material in biology learning. The conclusion of this research is that the development of an inquiry-based virtual laboratory is an innovative step that meets the needs of biology learning.
