This study aimed to identify the levels of computational thinking skills, computational self-efficacy, and academic well-being among students, identify the potential relationships among them, and determine the predictive effects of computational thinking skills and computational self-efficacy on academic wellbeing. The study used the following…

Metacognitive thinking has the potential to impact high school student's personality, his cognitive abilities, and psychological state when activating its components through modern educational methods. Through four hypotheses, this study aimed to examine the psychological and educational variables of metacognitive thinking, systemic thinking, and…

Parental socioeconomic status (SES) is a well-established predictor of children's neurocognitive development. Several theories propose that specific cognitive skills are particularly vulnerable. However, this can be challenging to test, because cognitive assessments are not pure measures of distinct neurocognitive processes, and scores across…

As an interdisciplinary and multicultural educational framework takes the centrality of the delivery of 21st-century education across all levels, this study attempts to address the competencies that prospective and neophyte teachers need to possess to effectively design contextualized education. Through stepwise multiple regression analysis,…

Computational thinking (CT) competency is essential for K-12 students in the digital societies. Understanding the relationship between students' CT and relevant factors contributes to implementing and improving CT education. Most previous studies investigated the effect of demographic or attitudinal factors on CT performance; whereas few research…

Policymakers worldwide are grappling with devising robust policies aimed at enhancing adult learning, due to its growing significance in bolstering competitiveness within knowledge-based economies. However, there is scant research on adult learning strategies for improving intrapersonal or social practice approaches, particularly in work settings,…

The purpose of this correlational survey study is to examine the critical thinking dispositions and analytical thinking skills of high school students. Using a multistage cluster sampling plan, 433 students from different types of high schools completed the critical thinking disposition, and the analytical thinking skills scales. Descriptive…

Despite the recognized importance of addressing belief bias in critical thinking, little is known about the neural activity underlying belief-bias reasoning and its connection to critical thinking. The study utilized event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine the neural responses during belief-bias reasoning and explored the extent to which these…

Coding games are widely used to teach computational thinking (CT). Studies have broadly investigated the role of coding games in supporting CT learning in formal classroom contexts, but there has been limited exploration of their use in informal home-based settings. This study investigated the factors that motivated students to use a coding game…

Children's ability to save emerges during the preschool years, but little is known about the different forms saving takes (and whether these relate) and the mechanisms driving its development. Because research with adults suggests that different aspects of future orientation increase adults' propensity to save, we explored whether, in a sample of…

This study provides evidence about factors that facilitate the development of computational thinking (CT) in Costa Rican elementary school students, including the description of the contribution of the LIE++ proposal that addresses CT knowledge and practices through programming and physical computing projects. A quasi-experimental design was used…

In today's rapidly developing technology, individuals are expected to know the ways of accessing information and to have higher order thinking skills. One of these skills is reflective thinking skills. In this study, the relationship between secondary school students' reflective thinking skills towards problem-solving and learning and study…

Purpose: The study deals with the problems of development of critical thinking among university students, its connection with motivation for learning and academic achievements of students. The purpose of the study is to define the relationship between academic motivation and critical thinking. Design/methodology/approach: The study involved a…

This study aims to determine the relationship between the attitudes of teacher candidates towards teaching critical thinking and critical thinking standards. The population of the study consists of teacher candidates studying at the faculties of education in 2020-2021. The sample of the study consists of 743 teacher candidates determined by the…

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship among sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade gifted students' spatial reasoning skills, conceptual understanding of basic astronomy topics, and science achievement. To achieve this, the study was designed as a multi-factor predictive correlational study. The research sample consists of 642…
