We examine how elementary STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) teachers designed and implemented instructional practices to encourage computational thinking (CT) during problem-solving activities. After teachers created STEAM lessons aligned with state standards and CT practices, students made artifacts while solving…

The study investigates the process of implementing collaborative writing (CW) in EFL classrooms and ascertains the perspectives of stakeholders towards CW practice. Data was collected from 130 participants and through multiple sources and instruments, including document analysis, observation and video-based fieldwork, questionnaire, and interview.…

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) approach is considered important by many countries and projects carried out in order to integrate into their curriculum. The widespread use of STEM is only possible if teachers have positive thoughts, knowledge and experiences about it. In this study, it is aimed to answer these research…
