“…This study employed a deductive research design by testing the behaviourism learning theory (Bitektine, 2008) to determine how much the chemistry teachers had shifted from teacher-centred to learner-centred teaching methods (Imenda, 2018) during the implementation of the CBC in 10 selected secondary schools in the Gasabo District of Rwanda. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to understand the current situation in selected secondary schools in chemistry education (Creswell & Garrett, 2008).…”

This study aims at determining the effect of the pedagogical technique most frequently used while implementing the competency-based curriculum (CBC) in teaching chemistry in senior two (S2) classes (age range 14-16) and the teachers' alignment with the scheme of work. It was conducted in 10 selected Rwandan secondary schools using a teacher survey, teacher interviews and the Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM (COPUS) in the period from 27 May to 8 July 2019. The result of the analysis reveals that teaching chemistry using group work-related techniques that engage more learners does not have any relationship to teachers moving slowly compared to the scheme of work of S2 chemistry. Therefore, this study recommends more support for teachers to use active learning techniques in teaching chemistry in S2 for the effective implementation of the CBC.

“…The development of training programs for ecommerce entrepreneurs is considered an important component of the "digital entrepreneurial revolution" in recent years [2]. Technically, training should provide relevant, timely information, and improve skills [3], yet studies have found that many ecommerce entrepreneurs face difficulties in applying their understanding although many have undergone training [4]. In Malaysia, the rapid growth of technology in recent years has seen a similar growth trend in entrepreneurial education and training [5] (see table 1).…”

“…Hence, the level of ecommerce usage is still limited [13]. These factors contribute to a lack of comprehension and failure of entrepreneurs to adopt the latest business technologies [4]. Thus, entrepreneurship training is best developed through a modern pedagogical approach such as a delivery method.…”

“…Data from several studies on Malaysian entrepreneurial training centres have identified that less than 20% of pedagogical factors have been provided by trained trainers/training organizers [4], [14]. Furthermore, given that e-commerce is still new in Malaysia, entrepreneurs need to face business uncertainties such as limited knowledge because their knowledge is closely related to cognitive development [4], [15].…”

In Malaysia, many training centres offer e-commerce programmes. However, the quality of their programmes has been a critical issue. Hence, this study aims to investigate pedagogical factors that contribute to effective training of e-commerce entrepreneurs in Malaysia. Data was collected from 200 e-commerce entrepreneurs who attended ecommerce training sessions. The results showed that ecommerce entrepreneurs in Malaysia lack the ability to identify information and understand e-commerce and web system concepts. An analysis reveals that training in this area is not provided. However, other factors (activity and process) have a significant impact on training. This shows that e-commerce entrepreneurs in Malaysia are more likely to continue demonstrating what they know and they are also seen as good information explorers. This paper contributes to pedagogical training by providing useful insights into the factors that influence effective learning by ecommerce entrepreneurs.

Towards enhancing teaching and learning computer programming in Saudi Arabia

Globally, numerous students struggle with understanding computer programming, which is one of the most difficult courses in the computer science curriculum as stated in the literature. This is especially true in a diverse learning environment where students come from different disciplinary backgrounds, language skills, and cultures. Hence, to improve on the aforementioned challenges, another research introduces a framework that combines constructivist and collaborative learning theories with a student-centered teaching pedagogy for teaching postgraduate introductory programming classes at Central Queensland University, Australia. However, the framework will not work effectively when teaching computer programming courses to undergraduate students in Saudi Arabia. This is due to geographical differences, study levels, negative emotional issues, and stress affecting students' learning. Such as students' first view that programming is difficult, or the difference between students' and teachers' perspectives on learning (disciplinary backgrounds, language skills, and cultures). Therefore, this paper proposed a student-centered learning and teaching method that combines constructive alignment (consistency), collaborative learning theory (collaboration, conception, and cognition), and bits of Maslow's theory (love/belonging and self-actualization) in a student-centered teaching pedagogy. The research findings reveal that when using the existing method to teach Introduction to Computing-II (Object Oriented Programming in Java) at the University of Hafr Al Batin, Saudi Arabia, only 87.5% of students passed the course, while 12.5% failed. However, when using the proposed method 95.2% of the students passed the course, while only 4.8% failed. Thus, the proposed method clearly shows significant improvement, with the failure rate reducing from 12.5% to only 4.8%.
