Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness in implementing Project Approach (PA) among year one pupils. The focus of this study is to identify pupils’ alternative concepts while implementing PA in the chosen science topic. An exploratory case study research design and purposeful sampling was employed in a year one classroom consisting of 22 pupils from different background and abilities. In this study, PA was used as a teaching and learning approach, whereby pupils carried out science projects according to the phases in PA. This study employed observations, interviews and document analysis techniques to collect data. Through the projects, the study found that PA was able to elicit pupils’ alternative concepts related to float and sink through representations in the form of drawings and verbal interactions which were recorded. This study provide implications on teaching and learning that needs to take into consideration pupils’ prior knowledge in ensuring the formation of scientific concepts.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
