The reasons for teaching programming in school are indeed manifold. Programming can for example be utilized as a vehicle for understanding and learning particular mathematical subject matter, or as a tool for solving mathematical problems. In this paper, however, we propose to utilize programming as a vehicle for developing mathematical…

This research paper investigates the influence of Generation Z (born approx. 2000 and 2015) on contemporary educational practices, focusing on their experiences in the classroom and their development of transferable skills for the workplace. As digital natives who have grown up with continual exposure to technology and digital information,…

Background: Empirical studies have revealed students' development of computational thinking (CT) and mathematical thinking (MT) during programming-based mathematical problem-solving, highlighting specific CT concepts or practices that serve as learning goals or outcomes. However, implementing programming-based mathematics instruction requires…

Nowadays, physics learning in the classroom should no longer only focus on achieving academics. It must prepare students to face challenges in the future. One of the abilities that are important for learners is problem solving, and the problem-solving ability that is becoming increasingly important in today's digital era is computational thinking…

Education 4.0 strongly promotes the development of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity (4C) skills among students. Consequently, it is crucial for mathematics teachers to integrate activities that facilitate the cultivation of these skills. However, the scarcity of resources, such as recommended instructional…

This study introduces CAILE, a design thinking-driven conceptual framework for a Creative AI Learning Environment, designed to enhance programming skills. Evaluates clarity, appropriateness, and feasibility through expert judgment. Phase 1 synthesized 34 peer-reviewed studies (2019-2025) to articulate CAILE's structure across three layers: Inputs…

This study uses a quantitative methodology, employing a structured questionnaire, to examine the effectiveness of courses offered by Rustaq College of Education in enhancing students' future skills. The study focuses on pre-service teachers' perceptions within the context of the Omani Future Skills Paradigm Framework. The study results show that…

While teaching practices are generally known to influence students' motivation, soft skills, and satisfaction, the impact of transformational Teacher Leadership remains underexplored. This study employs a latent growth approach to moderated mediation to examine soft skills and autonomous motivation (Intrinsic and Extrinsic Identified) effects as…

This research delves into the effectiveness of youth hackathons, highlighting their ability to foster innovation, creativity and skill development among school-aged children and teenagers. Through an ethnographic approach and analysis of six such hackathons, the research identifies the desired outcomes of these events, such as enhanced…

Preliminary research showed that the learning process could have been more optimal, and this led to the research to develop a TEFA Model with the PBL concept as a valid, practical, and effective method of improving the problem-solving and communication skills of Automotive Vocational Education students. The process involved using the Research and…

21st Century Skills encompass life capabilities for individuals to work and prosper in complex environments. Resilience encapsulates positive behavioural adaptations acquired through optimised exposure to outdoor adventure education (OAE). This study examined the efficacy of one-week OAE residentials upon young people's resilience, psychological…

The integration of management education with information technology tools, such as simulation games and business analysis platforms, is playing an increasingly important role in developing students' decision-making skills as well as earn and acquire best business practices. It is particularly useful to test the didactic process effectiveness by…

This study aims to enhance teamwork skills among lower secondary school science students through a Learning Activity Package (LAP) using the design thinking process. The research evaluates the experiences of science teachers and students to identify areas for improvement in teamwork skills, which is achieved through interviews and observations in…

Sociotechnical thinking (STT) has recently emerged in response to technical-social dualism. It is defined as the ability to identify, address, and respond to both social and technical dimensions of engineering. As the number of publications on STT increases, so does the need to map the literature. This paper provides a scoping literature review of…

Despite the opportunities that makerspaces and FabLabs offer for the development of 21st-century skills, understanding how these skills are being practiced and assessed in these spaces has been proven challenging. In this work, we address this gap through an interview study investigating 13 maker-educators' practices across different makerspaces…
