This paper examined the problem-solving and problem-posing skills of middle school students in terms of whether the factors of gender and school type have an impact, as well as to illustrate these skills with respect to grade levels. A total of 461 students from different middle school levels of both private and public schools participated in the…

This study examined the metacognitive knowledge of Finnish comprehensive school students and explored whether grade-based differences in metacognitive knowledge exist among 6th, 7th and 9th graders. Integrating qualitative (declarative, procedural, conditional) and contextual (person, task, strategy) frameworks, the research aims for a…

Previous research has not adequately explored students' behavioral processes when addressing computational thinking (CT) problems of varying difficulty, limiting insights into students' detailed CT development characteristics. This study seeks to fill this gap by employing gamified CT items across multiple difficulty levels to calculate…

This study was carried out to examine the relationship between secondary school students' problem-solving skills and scientific attitudes in terms of gender, class level and education level of the parents. In the study, correlational research model, which is among the general survey models, was employed. The sample of the study consisted of 560…

This study aimed to investigate the mathematical problem posing skills of gifted students. The participants of the study, designed as a case study, were 55 middle school students (20 sixth grade, 17 seventh grade, 18 eighth grade) who were studying at Science and Art Center in a city in the Eastern Anatolia region. Data were collected through a…

Creativity and creative problem-solving are seen as the most important components of education today. This situation reveals the need to identify students' creative problem-solving characteristics. This study, it was aimed to examine the creative problem-solving characteristics of gifted and non-gifted students in terms of giftedness diagnosis,…

This descriptive survey study aimed to examine gifted students' success and strategic flexibility in non-routine problem solving. The study group consisted of 50 gifted students. A test consisting of seven problems was used to collect data. Answers were assessed in terms of correctness and strategy use. Flexibility was evaluated based on the use…

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a teaching and learning approach that is based on the principles that underpin sustainability and applies to all levels of education. However, there is a scarcity of research on the integration of curricula with ESD. In this study, secondary school curricula in Germany (Bavaria) (geography, nature and…

VR technology is being widely used in education due to it's a sense of immersion, real-time interaction, and ability to stimulate imagination. However, there is a lack of research comparing students at different stages. This study used a quasi-experimental design involving 73 fourth-grade and 86 eighth-grade students in two schools in northwest…

In this research, it was aimed to determine the relationship between critical thinking skills and mathematical problem solving achievements of the secondary education students. Descriptive screening model was determined as the method of the research. The study group of the research included totally 429 students chosen randomly among the secondary…

The aim of this study was to analyze middle school students' metacognition awareness levels and problem solving skills. The research was carried out with a total of 1595 middle school students studying in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades in a middle school in a city of the Central Anatolia Region. The metacognitive awareness scale (MAS) form B…

Artificial intelligence (AI) literacy has emerged to equip students with digital skills for effective evaluation, communication, collaboration, and ethical use of AI in online, home, and workplace settings. Countries are increasingly developing AI curricula to support students' technological skills for future studies and careers. However, there is…

The primary goal of this research is to investigate the relation between computational thinking skills and creative problem-solving skills in secondary school students over the 2018-2019 academic year (5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades). The study's sample size is made up of 1098 secondary school pupils. The T-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear…

Current international curriculum frameworks and research advocate for K-12 mathematics to emphasize proof and argumentation. This review synthesizes literature related to conceptions, content, and supportive actions for proof and argumentation across four grade-level bands: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Our systematic search and subsequent screening…

As a part of the larger study, a case study of two seventh grade students, Peter and Willa, was conducted. To examine links between their fractional knowledge and algebraic reasoning, the students were interviewed twice, once for their fractional knowledge and once for their algebraic knowledge in writing linear equations that required explicit…
