Abstract: Background: The advancement of science and technology is changing and becoming more competitive. It necessitates a learning process that facilitates rather than inhibits cognitive abilities by carrying out learning processes that allow learners freedom in the thought process or learning process. The purpose of this research is to analyse the influence of lesson study-based STEM learning on cognitive abilities . Materials and Methods: The quasi-experiment method was used in this study. The study included 90 students from two high schools in South Aceh Regency. The cognitive abilities are measured by calculating the normalization of gain (n-gain). The instruments used to measure cognitive abilities are pretest and posttest in the form of multiple choice questions. Data analysis for cognitive abilities and learning outcomes is evaluated using two-point tests (t-tests).......

Abstract: Infusing theories in lessons enhances the scopes for the teachers to ensure the objectives of a lesson plan. This study, after reviewing three key learning theories like scaffolding, collaborative group work, and laws of exercise, has tried to induce them in three successive lesson plans of teaching writing in English to the undergraduate students of Bangladeshi Government College. The theoretical research is empirical thus has come up with some significant results about integrating learning theories in lesson plans in teaching writing. This investigation reveals that theories enable educators applying different student-centred activities while teaching writing skill as well as multiple assessment tasks that evaluate students' higher order thinking skill (HOTs) and lower order thinking.....
