Joni M. Lakin; Jon Wai; Paula Olszewski-Kubilius; Susan Corwith; Danielle Rothschild; David Uttal – Grantee Submission, 2024
Spatial thinking permeates much of our lives and is an asset when solving problems involving well-structured visual information or imagining solutions in physical or digital space. However, an estimated three million US school children have spatial talents that go unrecognized because of the tools commonly used for identification of academic…

Kylie S. Aikey – Journal of Legal Studies Education, 2024
This teaching note illustrates how escape rooms can be utilized as a tool to teach or review business law concepts, encourage student collaboration, and provide an opportunity for gameplay. Escape rooms can be adapted to any topic, made asynchronous, and scaled up to accommodate larger groups. This note also describes the value of incorporating…

Poldma, Tiiu; Di Fabio, Lora; Hammouni, Zakia – LEARNing Landscapes, 2021
This paper explores how students connect meaningfully with theory through the aesthetic experiences of problem solving together in the context of a workshop. It can be challenging for students studying design in university programs to understand how theory is relevant, when applied in practical design studio activities. In the colour workshop…

In recent years, the emphasis on computational thinking (CT) has intensified as an effect of accelerated digitalisation. While most researchers are concentrating on defining CT and developing tools for its instruction and assessment, we focus on the characteristics of computational thinking problems (CTPs) -- activities requiring CT to be…

Amber Beisly; Anne Moffitt – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
When children engage in play, they develop essential skills like creativity, flexibility, imagination, and problem-solving. Children who engage in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities also build similar skills. Both play and STEAM enable children to ask questions, try different solutions, and develop explanations for…

Jørgen Sjaastad – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2024
Years of failed attempts to engage my mathematics teacher students in exploration and co-creation led me to radically change my teaching approach. Inspired by literature that uses the jazz improv metaphor for teaching, I derived three tenets based on principles from jazz improv. First, I would bring no more than a single problem-solving task to…

Koehler, Adrie A.; Vilarinho-Pereira, Daniela Rezende – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Educators consider the development of problem-solving skills in learners to be a primary goal of contemporary teaching and learning efforts. Yet, participating in problem-centered instruction is challenging for learners, and educators have sought different ways of supporting learners as they make sense of complex content. Social media applications…

Baumanns, Lukas; Rott, Benjamin – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2021
In research on mathematical problem posing, a broad spectrum of different situations is used to induce the activity of posing problems. This review aims at characterizing these so-called problem-posing situations by conducting three consecutive analyses: (1) By analyzing the openness of potential problem-posing situations, the concept of…

Llamazares de Prado, Jose Enrique; Arias Gago, Ana Rosa; Melcon Alvarez, Maria Antonia – Education and Urban Society, 2021
This research dealing with the relationship between blindness and creativity, sustain the consideration that they are incapable to achieve an interaction with a predominantly visual creative activity. Nowadays, we know that this is false. Education represents a fundamental pillar of society, and all children have the same right to educational…

Sjöblom, Marie; Meaney, Tamsin – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
Although group work is considered beneficial for problem solving, the listening that is needed for jointly solving mathematical problems is under-researched. In this article, the usefulness of two communication frameworks for understanding students' listening is examined, using data from an educational design research study in an upper secondary…

Baumanns, Lukas; Rott, Benjamin – Research in Mathematics Education, 2022
This article aims to develop a framework for the characterisation of problem-posing activities. The framework links three theoretical constructs from research on problem posing, problem solving, and psychology: (1) problem posing as an activity of generating new or reformulating given problems, (2) emerging tasks on the spectrum between routine…

Ali Nouri – International Journal of Education & the Arts, 2024
Since the 1950s, educational literature has explored the potential of translating art criticism into classroom practices. This eventually led to the emergence of educational criticism as a distinctive form of inquiry in the 1970s. However, despite its potential for exploring educational experiences and evaluating educational programs, educational…

Kojic, Vedran; Krpan, Mira; Lukac, Zrinka – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
One of the fundamental topics taught in the microeconomics class is minimizing economic costs. It includes understanding the concept of derivatives and applying them. However, most of the first-year undergraduate students find calculus difficult to understand, which also results in poor knowledge of optimization. We use the method based on the…
