Pablo E. Raya-Castellano; Allistair P. McRobert; David Cárdenas; Luis Fradua; Matthew J. Reeves – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2024
Background: Researchers in the field of sport pedagogy have highlighted questioning as a behaviour that facilitates athletes' high-order thinking and problem-solving. However, previous studies have suggested that coaches ask a reduced number of questions during training that are typically convergent and lead players to predetermined responses.…

Amalija Žakelj; Mara Cotic; Daniel Doz – Cogent Education, 2024
The present research investigates the effects of an active and experiential learning approach on eighth-grade students' mathematics achievement employing a quasi-experimental research design. A total of 231 students from four Slovenian primary schools participated in the study, with 101 students assigned to the experimental group (EG) and 130 to…

Wan-Ling Huang – Teaching Public Administration, 2024
This study aims to propound an instructional design for a service-learning course grounded in public problem analysis and verify its immediate and sustained outcomes through the actual instructional process. A quasi-experimental research design was adopted wherein students who were enrolling in a service-learning course were considered as a…

Loibl, Katharina; Tillema, Marcel; Rummel, Nikol; van Gog, Tamara – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
Research on productive failure suggests that attempting to solve a problem prior to instruction facilitates conceptual understanding compared to receiving instruction prior to problem solving. The assumptions are that during the problem-solving phase, students activate their prior knowledge, become aware of their knowledge gaps, and discover deep…

Nugraheni, Lutfi Putri; Marsigit, Marsigit – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2021
Mathematical problem solving was an crucial skill to be mastered by primary school student so that will help student to unravel their problems encountered in everyday life. By using the realistic mathematics approach, students learn mathematical concept based on reality or scope around students. This study aimed to develop an eligible learning…

Lee, Shin-Yi – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
This study analyzed the research status of mathematical problem posing in thirteen major mathematics education journals from each journal's earliest publication year the study could access to the year of 2018 or 2019, among which 49 years long was the longest and 14 years long was the shortest. After a systematic and comprehensive review of all…

Kale, Ugur; Yuan, Jiangmei – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Computational thinking is a means to understand and solve complex problems through using computer science concepts and techniques. While there is an increase in the number of initiatives focusing on coding, whether they (a) address computational thinking and problem-solving skills and (b) use methods of teaching problem solving is yet to be…

Pearce, Nicole; Davis, Jill – Dimensions of Early Childhood, 2021
A key factor in a child's healthy development is resilience, which allows a child to have an adaptive response to hardships even when exposed to a toxic environment or adversity. Resilience is the interplay between a child's positive environment and adaptive and coping skills outweighing risk factors and adverse experiences to create a positive…

Daily, Sara – International Journal of the Whole Child, 2021
"Productive Struggle" refers to a strategy that gives students an opportunity to increase their background mathematical knowledge. Productive Struggle helps students connect key concepts, determine how and where an error occurs, and supports students in figuring out how to use their own thinking and reasoning skills to correct an error.…

Saal, Leah Katherine – Adult Literacy Education, 2021
According to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act of 2014, literacy refers to "an individual's ability to read, write, and speak in English, compute, and solve problems [emphasis added], at levels of proficiency necessary to function on the job, in the family of the individual, and in society" (Title 2, §203). Yet, according to…

Wackerly, Jay Wm. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This commentary provides an overview of abduction, also known as Inference to the Best Explanation, and argues that the term and relevant problem-solving methods should be adopted by chemistry educators. Abductive reasoning, especially within the context of science and medicine, continues to be an active area of exploration for philosophers and…

Zulkarnain; Zulnaidi, Hutkemri; Heleni, Susda; Syafri, Muhammad – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
The common problems faced by most students in learning mathematics include their inability to answer problem-solving questions and low mathematical self-efficacy. Search, Solve, Create and Share (SSCS) is a teaching model that provides opportunities for students to enhance their problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. This quasi-experimental…
