The Spatial-Based Learning (SBL) model, developed in 2018, has evolved through the application of various spatial techniques. Its 21st-century emergence prompts an analysis of its impact on critical thinking. This study aims to examine SBL's impact using Quantum Geographic Information System (SBL-QGIS) on undergraduates' critical thinking.…

Aim/Purpose: This paper explores the potential value of critical thinking in computer science education and discusses strategies for its integration across the curriculum. Background: As technology rapidly evolves and becomes increasingly integrated into society, there is a growing need for computer science graduates who can think critically about…

This article describes a systematic literature review focused on identifying substantial drawbacks in the current curricula and on the challenges to developing AI-driven curricula. One hundred thirty articles were read in depth and qualitatively analyzed. The results suggest that educational stakeholders should integrate AI into the curriculum…

Transformative participatory approaches in education are positioned to challenge traditional models where instructors bear all responsibility for knowledge creation and learners are passive recipients of knowledge. The promotion of participatory learning and critical pedagogy is essential to helping professionals seeking to understand oppressive…

America's strength lies in its inherent diversity--an enduring truth that makes the Eurocentric nature of our educational curricula troubling. Despite this foundational reality, curricular materials remain predominantly Eurocentric, often excluding authentic representation and inclusion of Black/African American experiences in children's and young…

National mathematics achievement results show that elementary students in the United States are not increasing in cognitive ability or critical thinking skills (NAEP, 2020). For this increase, mathematically promising students require more opportunities for cognitively demanding mathematics instruction. As a result, this descriptive study focused…

Through critical interpretation, this paper aims to critically think about some points of Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy and its educational implications.
