“…They need to remember that learners dealt with are 21st-century learners or digital natives. Finally, students' differences must be catered to (Ycong et al, 2021) by providing varied instructional opportunities to all students (Sugano & Mamolo, 2021) to achieve optimum learning.…”

Mobile phones are prevalent worldwide, and today's learners utilize this technology for instructional purposes. This educational design research aims to evaluate the developed interactive mobile application. This instructional material contributes to today's 21st century or digital native learners' needs to engage students in the teaching-learning process. The app is aligned with mathematics instruction, balancing visuals and Math content. Employing the Instructional Material Development for Non-print Materials instrument shows that the developed mobile app is acceptable for the Grade 11 students. Students reported a positive experience and noted an increased interest in Mathematics when using the app. Further research is needed to explore the integration of this app in the mathematics classroom.

“…This calls for the aptitude tests that are fair, reliable and valid in order to measure relevant abilities and skills of learners (Formazin et al, 2011). Therefore, sticking to use of aptitude tests that are of high value would help the SDA schools to have good performance as the importance of this test has been proved to be ideal by many studies (Corengia, Pita and Mesurado, 2013;Sugano and Mamolo, 2021;Aldurayheem, 2022;Breuer, Scherndl and Ortner, 2023).…”

Formal education in all countries has been considered very important for personal and societal development. Education remains the biggest instrument for academic progress, social mobilization, political survival and effective national development of any country. One of the church institutions offering formal education is the Seventh Day Adventist Church. This study assessed academic interventions to enhance learners` academic performance in the SDA secondary schools in Malawi. The Effective School Model’ by Lezotte (2010) was used as a framework in the study. A sample of 54 participants comprising 12 teachers, 30 learners, and 6 members of the school board, 3 station pastors, and 3 School administrators was purposively selected in this descriptive qualitative study. Data was collected using open-ended questionnaire, interview guides, and document analysis that were analysed using thematic analysis and descriptive statistics. Result of the study reveals that some students were highly motivated to learn and do better. However, students’ performance was affected by several factors. Meanwhile, the study findings show that focussing on use of English language, formation of the Parent Teacher Association, adequate teaching and learning resources, teachers` postings, use of aptitude test, time management, incentives, educational leadership, and frequent inspection would improve the performance of students in the SDA schools. Based on the study results, the study recommends consultative meetings with various stakeholders to bring their inputs on the matter, provision of adequate teaching materials, and selection of students must base on realistic results of the aptitude test administered.

The world has improved a lot. The vision to make people’s lives enjoyable came faithfully through the efforts of scientists in developing technologies that will help people’s work easier. This study determined the effectiveness of Activity-Based Strategy in teaching science to Grade 7 high school students in a national high school in the Philippines. The method used in this study was a quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups. The experimental group was taught using an activity-based strategy, while the control group used the teacher-centered approach. Pretest and posttest methods were used to measure the level of academic performance of the students in both groups. This study revealed that the pretest performances of the control and experimental group were low, but the posttest of both groups increased. Also, there is a significant difference in the posttest performances of both groups in Earth Science. The study concluded that science teaching for Grade 7 students could be enhanced by using the activity-based strategy, a better alternative to improve students’ performances. Activity-based strategy in Science 7 increases the students’ motivation in terms of mastery of the concepts skills, stimulating positive learning and interest, and love for science.
