The current study examines the impacts of scenario-based science activities on the scientific creativity and reflective thinking skills of fourth-grade students in primary school. Therefore, it was carried out in a primary school in Yozgat city center during the 2023-2024 Academic Year. An experimental group (24 students [13 girls, 11 boys]) and a…

As textiles continue to feature heavily in discussions of sustainability, and young students continue to be positioned as saviors of the planet, this paper joins the call for assemblage thinking in early years research that decenters humans and foregrounds relationships. What follows is a subset of a larger study, where one preschool classroom…

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into learning activities is an essential opportunity to develop students' varied thinking skills. On the other hand, design-based learning (DBL) can more effectively foster creative design processes with AI technologies to overcome real-world challenges. In this context, AI-supported DBL activities have a…

The current examined the roles of cognitive strategies using Chi's framework in mobile learning. Three conditions (active, constructive, and interactive) were created for a college statistics I course where students were randomly assigned to each condition. The results indicate constructive and interactive support students' problem solving and…

Reading interest and students' creative thinking skills cannot be optimal in the current learning process. Several things cause this. One of them is low learning models. It happens because the learning activities applied by the teacher are less innovative and varied. This study aims to analyze the effect of using Revised Bloom's Taxonomy-Oriented…

The implementation of "Merdeka Belajar -- Kampus Merdeka" (Freedom to Learn) in Indonesia urges universities to adapt and set changes in learning activities. One of the changes is the implementation of Project-Based Learning to increase students' activeness and creativity. This research aims to assess students' creative thinking on the…

It is often a challenge for an instructor to get the students' attention for interactive class learning. This paper focuses on the use of Black Panther movie characters to stimulate power bases discussion in class to encourage reflective observation and abstract conceptualization. Power bases are important because they are interlinked with other…

This study explored the hypothesis that preschoolers' deductive reasoning would be improved by encouraging use of divergent thinking (DT). Children of 4-5 years of age (n = 120) were randomly given DT or neutral control exercises before deductive reasoning problems. To allow a stronger test of the hypothesis, half of the children receiving the DT…

The development of experiential learning methodologies is gaining attention, due to its contributions to enhancing education quality. It focuses on developing competencies, and build-up added values, such as creative and critical thinking skills, with the aim of improving the quality of learning. The interdisciplinary mechatronics field…

In this research, it is aimed to examine the effect of STEM activities developed within the scope of a science course on the inquiry and innovative thinking skills of secondary school 7th-grade students. In this context, quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used together. In the quantitative dimension of the research, the…

Marketers and designers are likely to work together on innovation teams as they both have customer satisfaction as their end goals. Collaboration between these disciplines in innovation teams is often impaired due to the different thought-worlds that drive decision making: intuitive versus rational. To facilitate collaboration between design and…

Rich and challenging tasks can be the vehicle to bring mathematical challenge in classroom. Challenge emerges when you don't know how to solve the task at first but you can figure out, that is when the solvers are not aware of certain tools to solve the tasks and they have therefore to invent some mathematical actions to proceed. Some challenging…

The prominence of virtual reality (VR) in the educational field has grown in recent years due to increased availability and lower costs. I conducted a global study regarding how pioneering K-12 teachers use VR to engage students in learning activities. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to identify how and why teachers used VR for…

Recreation researchers and theorists have long discussed the benefits of "place-based" learning in the context of natural settings in regards to adventure, environmental, and sustainable outdoor recreation education, but how do educators create the opportunity for learning in other nontraditional disciplines? Recreation and event…

Engaging students in conversations around science and engineering design can be challenging. Sparking such conversations during field trips at an interactive science center has additional challenges. First, students vary considerably in age from day to day: science center employees might work with first graders one day and sixth graders the next.…
