Background: Robot programming can simultaneously cultivate learners' computational thinking (CT) and spatial thinking (ST). However, there is a noticeable gap in research focusing on the micro-level development patterns of learners' CT and ST and their interconnections. Objectives: This study aims to uncover the intricate development patterns and…

Teacher-student interaction (TSI) is the core element and important teaching method of smart classroom. Improving the quality of smart classroom teaching and developing higher-order thinking (HOT) among students requires strengthening research on the TSI structure in smart classroom. At present, the structure model of TSI in smart classroom mainly…

The shift towards online education in nursing programs prompts a critical evaluation of its efficacy, especially concerning the development of essential competencies like critical thinking. This study centers on understanding how online education impacts the critical thinking skills of nursing students at Al-Balqa Applied University, given the…

Critical thinking skills are needed to face the challenges of living in the 21st century. Education must be able to foster students' critical thinking and enable them to think independently. This study aims to investigate the development of students' critical thinking skills during the learning process using an e-module based on problem-based…

Background: Despite its obvious relevance to computer science, computational thinking (CT) is transdisciplinary with the potential of impacting one's analytical ability. Although countless efforts have been invested across K-12 education, there is a paucity of research at the postsecondary level about the extent to which CT can contribute to…

This study investigated the impact of computer-aided assessment on the enhancement of critical thinking skills in non-routine problem-solving across three distinct learning delivery modalities: fully online, balanced blended, and predominantly face-to-face (F2F) blended. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-aided assessment in…

Knowing when the brain learns is crucial for both the comprehension of memory formation and consolidation and for developing new training and neurorehabilitation strategies in healthy and patient populations. Recently, a rapid form of offline learning developing during short rest periods has been shown to account for most of procedural learning,…

Teachers use instructional design to solve problems and creatively develop and implement various concepts, theories, and techniques to design and manage the elements of teaching and learning and assess learning outcomes that are generally accepted according to Bloom's taxonomy, in which the cognitive domains of lower-order thinking connect to…

Aim/Purpose: To explore the effectiveness of utilizing the design thinking approach in developing digital self-directed learning environment to enhance digital literacy skills in Thai higher education. Background: To foster digital literacy skills in higher education, Thai students require more than access to technology. Emphasizing digital…

Design thinking is often proposed as an educative strategy to enhance growth mindset, problem solving, and creativity, but there are very few evaluations of the impact of experiential design thinking programs. The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether an online design-thinking workshop provided to outdoor education staff could…

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Toulmin argumentation model in developing critical thinking skills and epistemological beliefs concerning the internet in an online educational setting, especially during the global coronavirus pandemic. The subject of the research was carried out in the "Child Development Department" of a…

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to implement and evaluate a personalized digital learning environment (PDLE) that delivers differentiated instruction for enhancing computational thinking competencies through robotics education. Background: The background emphasizes the growing demand for computational thinking skills in the modern workforce and the…

Secondary school students often learn new cognitive skills by practicing with tasks that vary in difficulty, amount of support and/or content. Occasionally, they have to select these tasks themselves. Studies on task-selection guidance investigated either procedural guidance (specific rules for selecting tasks) or strategic guidance (general rules…

This study explores the development and evaluation of a digital learning ecosystem through metaverse experiences aimed at enhancing the competencies of modern digital entrepreneurs. The objectives were as follows: (1) to study the digital learning ecosystem through metaverse experiences, (2) to design and develop a digital learning ecosystem using…

Many professionals consider computational thinking an essential skill in the twenty-first century. Furthermore, some studies demonstrate that computer-based networking skills and digital environments can improve computational thinking. A challenging question to be addressed is whether informal learning in a digital context is related to…
