“…The study results indicate that the courseware designed founded on brain-based learning principles increases the students' computer programming learning. These findings correspond to results found in the literatures (Alanazi, 2020;Akasheh et al, 2018;Araghi and Moghaddam, 2013;Awolola, 2011;Duman, 2010;Griffee, 2007;Malik et al, 2012;Mekarina and Ningsih, 2017;Parnell, 2018;Saleh and Mazlan, 2019;Saleh and Subramaniam, 2018;Shabatat and Al-Tarawneh, 2016;Tufekci and Demirel, 2009;Uzezi and Jonah, 2017;Varghese and Pandya, 2016) where the computer and courseware were not applied. Hence, it can be noted that this study generalises the results of the previous studies on computer-based training.…”

“…However, there exist few studies on investigating the impact of braincompatible e-learning material. Some studies investigating the effect of brain-compatible teaching on learning achievement across different courses indicate that the brain-based teaching strategies are more effective on students' learning achievement than that of conventional lecturing (Alanazi, 2020;Akasheh et al, 2018;Araghi and Moghaddam, 2013;Awolola, 2011;Duman, 2010;Griffee, 2007;Malik et al, 2012;Mekarina and Ningsih, 2017;Parnell, 2018;Saleh and Mazlan, 2019;Saleh and Subramaniam, 2018;Shabatat and Al-Tarawneh, 2016;Tufekci and Demirel, 2009;Uzezi and Jonah, 2017;Varghese and Pandya, 2016). Some other studies also show that these strategies have a positive effect on students' retention (Haghighi, 2013;Helaal, 2020;Salem, 2017;Tufekci and Demirel, 2009;Uzezi and Jonah, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of braincompatible courseware on students' learning achievement and retention in computer programming course. In this quasi-experimental study, 60 eleventh grade female students in computer vocational schools were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group of 20 each. The control group was taught in the conventional method. The first experimental group used the researcher-made brain-compatible courseware and the second experimental group used the non-brain-compatible courseware. A researchermade programming test was conducted as the pre-test, post-test and retention test. The results of the ANCOVA test indicate that using the brain-compatible courseware significantly improves the students' learning achievement and retention compared to the second experimental and control group students (p<0.05). It is inferred that the use of brain-compatible courseware is more effective than the use of non-brain-compatible courseware and the conventional method.

This study examines the status of physics education in EU high schools, focusing on student understanding, curriculum organization, and knowledge transmission. The research aims to uncover potential gaps or opportunities for improvement in physics education in the European Union by looking at five important characteristics. Enhancing the overall educational experience and preparing students for future academic and professional pursuits requires an understanding of the quality of knowledge imparted to students, the efficacy of the curriculum in reaching educational goals, and the level of student comprehension. By offering insightful information, this study can guide instructional practices and policy in secondary schools across the European Union, potentially leading to significant improvements in physics education. A more thorough investigation of pedagogical strategies and their effects on student learning outcomes may benefit future studies in this field. Furthermore, examining any variations in physics education among the different EU member states may provide insightful comparative analysis.
