Kazakhstan experienced significant modifications to its education system in response to the outbreak of COVID-19, involving widespread school closures in the 18 months between March 2020 and September 2021. The purpose of this study is to estimate the loss of learning for seven different subjects due to the pandemic restrictions. Based on a large…

This design case details the design process of a multiple-choice assessment of socio-scientific systems thinking. This assessment is situated within a larger project that aims to understand the ways students use multiple scientific models to understand complex socio-scientific issues. In addition to the research component, this project entails…

Lately conspiracy theories (CT) are increasingly hovering over Education Studies, mostly as problems in search of a solution. This paper problematizes this educational solutionist discourse by reflecting critically on different framing of CT (i.e., epistemological and ethico-political) and some related educational responses, ranging from…

This study investigates the effect of programming courses on the computational thinking (CT) skills of elementary school students and the learning effectiveness of students from different backgrounds who are studying programming. We designed a OwlSpace programming course into an elementary school curriculum. Students in fourth and fifth grades…

Preparing prospective mathematics teachers to become teachers who recognize and respond to students' mathematical needs is challenging. In this study, we use the construct of critical incident as a tool to support prospective mathematics teachers' reflection on their authentic fieldwork activities, notice students' thinking, and link it to the…

The current study examined the influences of SRL prompts provided in three different phases (i.e., forethought, performance, and self-reflection) on college students' learning outcome and SRL levels during video-based learning. Fifty-eight participants were randomly assigned into one of the four conditions: 1) SRL prompts at the forethought phase;…

Mathematical reasoning, a fundamental aspect of human cognition, poses significant challenges for artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Despite recent advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs), AI's ability to replicate human-like reasoning, generalization, and efficiency remains an ongoing research…

This article explores the educational and philosophical contributions of Nikolai V. Bugaev, a prominent 19th-century Russian mathematician and founder of the Moscow philosophical-mathematical school. The study specifically focuses on Bugaev's textbook, "Arithmetic of Whole Numbers," analyzing Bugaev's pedagogical approaches within the…

Visual media (pictures, photographs) are often used in adult literacy instruction, presumably because they are easy for adult literacy learners to process. However, relatively little research has been conducted on how adult literacy learners comprehend visual media, such as picture stories. Some have argued that picture stories could be used as a…

It is known that teacher noticing skills improve through different interventions such as video clubs, lesson study, and short-term professional development programs. However, it is not known whether this improvement is permanent and whether teachers can transfer their noticing skills into the classroom. It is extremely important to provide an…

Tangible programming tools have become a mainstream teaching aid in gamification programming learning (GPL) due to their interactivity and ability to enhance novice learners' computational thinking and spatial reasoning skills. However, comparing the relative efficacy of different programming tools that simultaneously support these skills was not…

This study presents a transdisciplinary techno-artistic experience conducted with students of the degree in Preschool Education from the University of Valencia. The experience seeks to promote the use of technologies with a contemporary approach through new creative forms such as sound-visual cartographies. The objective is to understand the…

This study seeks to deepen the understanding of the direct and indirect effects of human-computer dialogic interaction programming activities, facilitated by ChatGPT, on student engagement. Data were collected from 109 Chinese high school students who engaged in programming tasks using either ChatGPT-driven dialogic interaction or traditional pair…

This research describes the implementation of discussion-centric blended learning (DCBL) so that it can foster student HOTS (Higher-Order Thinking Skill). There were 31 students, aged 18-20 years, in the Mathematical Statistics class involved in HOTS pre-test, DCBL and HOTS post-test activities. Audio-visual video recordings, observations and…

This study examines the relationship between secondary school students' reflective thinking skills toward problem solving and their metacognitive awareness. Using the correlational survey method, this study selected a sample of 571 secondary school students from Afyonkarahisar province during the 2022-2023 academic year using the convenient…
