Providing K-12 students with proper science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education is important to ensuring an innovative and prosperous economy. A highly skilled STEM workforce can lead to increased productivity and competitiveness, which can lead to a host of new ideas being researched and developed. STEM workers make added-value products, build bridges and roads, and conduct lifesaving medical research, among other important activities. The use of virtual reality (VR) technology for both education and workforce training has grown in recent years. VR technology can accelerate these processes at maximum efficacy and minimum costs and can have a significant impact on productivity gains, earnings, new jobs, innovation through research and development, and high-growth industries. This paper presents the development of a series of VR modules using the Unity game engine, the HTC VIVE Pro VR headset, and the Hi5 VR glove for the purposes of K-12 STEM education. Specifically, these developed modules have been designed to instruct K-12 students on topics related to motion and heat, with future goals to expand the modules to cover topics related to light, magnetism, electricity, radioactivity, sound, and waves. This paper will cover the methodology and design considerations that went into developing these modules, with a focus on how these modules relate to various learning strategies as well as with existing research on the use of VR in K-12 education.

Servant leadership is a leadership approach that focuses fundamentally on service to others. In educational contexts, servant leadership has become an attractive topic for research. The main objective of this research was to analyze the last 11 years of scientific production from the Scopus database on servant leadership in educational settings (2013-2023). 48 publications analyzed using bibliometric indicators were taken as a data source. The analysis includes visualization, bibliographic coupling, co-occurrence, and co-authorship analysis. The results of the study show that collaborative research networks between countries around the world were examined, with the United States emerging as the dominant contributor, followed by Indonesia, India, China, and Peru, with the period 2020 and 2022 being those with the highest scientific production, also validating that K. Dahleez, KF Latif, and F. Marimon were the most influential contributors in scientific production and citations; however, A. Abbas has made a greater contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 4, Quality education. The major legacy has focused on two main thematic areas, the Social Sciences and Business, Management and Accounting. The analysis of the main keywords revealed a deep research interest, highlighting the extension and diversity of the concepts of servant leadership, higher education, education, teachers, knowledge hiding, learning, leadership and life satisfaction. This study highlights the importance of international cooperation in the field of cultural research and the need for countries to develop research capital to address knowledge gaps. These findings reveal research trends for future studies, influential authors, and co-authorships across countries, helping researchers identify gaps and future directions. The findings may facilitate the development and use of servant leadership in educational settings to improve outcomes as a sector.

This paper presents a case study on how Six Sigma methodology can be used to improve student academic performance in three main subjects (Math, Arabic, and English) in a private secondary school located in the Middle East. The Six Sigma methodology of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) was used to improve student performance along with several improvement tools such as Fishbone diagram, Pareto charts, and Critical-To-Quality (CTQ) tree. Introducing quality improvement concepts and tools resulted in a series of improvements leading to an increase in student academic achievement quantified by Sigma Quality Level (SQL). The SQL improved in Math from (2.01) to (2.37) and in Arabic from (1.86) to (2.38). On the other hand, English grades did not increase from baseline. The results of this study provide a clear, step-by-step approach to systematically approaching and solving educational problems using the DMAIC model. Practically speaking, the results of this study provides clear evidence that the DMAIC can be used in the educational sector by school administrators and teachers to improve student grades.
