The study aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating deep learning strategies in mathematics instruction on students' problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills, academic achievement, and mathematical skills development. The study population consisted of 280 students, with a sample size of 162 participants. Employing a purely…

The traditional theories behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism and connectivism are regarded as essential theories of learning. However, transformational learning theory works with critical thinking in adult learning. This process is based on their experience and it is followed by the steps of thinking and transformation process in perspective…

This research aims to examine 1) analytical thinking skills of pre-service teachers by using research-based learning (RBL) and community learning resources (CLR), and 2) satisfaction of learning activities among the pre-service teachers. The one-shot case study was implemented in the research design. The research sample included 3rd year Social…

This study aims to examine the effect of problem-based learning and tacit knowledge on problem-solving skills when students study in the laboratory. The method employed in this research was Quasi-Experimental Design. Data collection techniques were questionnaires and tests. Seventy-seven students were taken as the research participant and divide…

This study aimed to investigate the effect of field trips in the Primary stage on developing empathy and English language fluency. The researcher reviewed the literature for EFL fluency related to field trips and then designed a component list as a baseline for a pre-posttest, and a rubric for measuring the students' performance through field…

This paper is based on the background of the problem of the low high order thinking skills in students, especially in the skills to think creatively and conceptual understanding. Conceptual understanding that students have in relation to physics learning material has an important role in developing students' high order thinking skills in solving…

Does STEM education improve students' higher-level thinking and cognitive abilities? So far, empirical research has not yielded consistent conclusions. As such, this study applied the method of meta-analysis to synthesize quantitatively existing research to better understand STEM and its effects on students' abilities associated with learning. The…

Each learning model has different pattern and approach that will affect the learning outcomes. Thus, a study is required focused on the effect of implementing the learning model so that it can become a reference for teachers. The study aimed to compare the students' problem-solving skills using Project Based Learning (PjBL) model and…

Contextualization is a method used for mathematics curriculum design within lesson plans and as a pedagogical practice in face-to-face classes. Many researchers are studying the effects of using contextualization in the teaching and the learning process for mathematics (Bottge & Cho, 2013; Perin, 2011; Young, Hodge, Edwards, & Leising,…

Research-oriented learning is a learning approach enabling students to do scientific research, work actively in the process, revise, reinforce, learn by living and doing, take responsibility, boost their self-confidence, put what they have learned into practice and solve the problems they have encountered in their daily lives. The aim of this…

Measurement in geometry is one of the key areas of school mathematics, however, pupils make serious mistakes when solving problems involving measurement and hold misconceptions. This article focuses on the possible links between lower secondary pupils' (n = 870) success in solving non-measurement tasks and calculations tasks on area and volume and…

Many educational tools that are recommended for the training of normal students are often encountered in programs that do not work very well and are subsequently abandoned. One of the important points that program developers should now consider is that teaching tools are presented in accordance with individual differences. It is seen that the…

Taking into account the Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) integration, it is important to investigate teachers' understandings, perceptions about STEM and how STEM practices should be incorporated into the classroom in order to explore the perceptions of science teachers on this subject and provide important information to…

Creative and critical thinking skills are the abilities, which can sometimes be used interchangeably in definition. In fact, they have different constructs because they differentiate in outcome of human behaviours. Also one of today's requirements is that individuals should approach everyday problems by using both competences. So, one of the…

The computer and internet technologies which show an immediate change and development, show its effect in educational field as well as all fields of life. One of the implementation areas of computer and internet technologies is the computer games. While the computer games provide recreational time to the users, it may provide environments for…
