Abstract:
Due to the advent of coronavirus disease in most nations throughout the world, the manner of education altered from traditional face-to-face to remote or online teaching. As a result, the new normal necessitates the adoption of an online teaching and learning platform for all levels of education. The study tested the effectiveness of a flipped classroom instructional technique on children's development of sound knowledge of Basic Science concepts. Thirty-one primary three children took part in the treatment session, which was conducted using a simple repeated measures design. The study collected data using the Basic Science Achievement Test (BSAT), which was adequately validated and trial-tested. The children were given two distinct pretests before the treatment and two different posttests afterward. The data were analyzed using a mixed-design repeated-measures analysis of variance. The findings demonstrated that using a flipped classroom instructional technique boosted children's development of a good understanding of Basic Science significantly (p = 000) with an effect size of 0.953. The implementation of a flipped classroom instructional technique in teaching and learning Basic Science was advocated as a result of these results.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
