The scope and versatile nature of engineering and technology education as a discipline provide a platform for the integration of computational thinking (CT) into STEM education, accomplishing the goal of bringing not only computer science principles into the K-12 education but also the fundamentals of machine learning (ML) and artificial…

Studying students' performance in learning differentiability is essential since it requires them to perform proceptual thinking. This case study research investigates students' proceptual thinking outcomes in learning the differentiability concept using Desmos Classroom Activities (DCA) based on the Three Worlds of Mathematics (TWM) framework. In…

Interdisciplinary in an increasingly popular term in educational settings. Analysis of the term reveals two meanings, a characteristic of an individual (i.e., interdisciplinary thinking) and a characteristic of a group (i.e., interdisciplinary collaborations). This paper serves to delineate those two meanings while building a conceptual model of…

Developments in science and technology enrich life in the 21st century. To cope with life in society, reflective judgment and decision-making abilities on both the individual and societal levels are needed. Schools must prepare the younger generations to become responsible citizens who are able to make reflective judgments. This study elaborates…

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving belong to 21st century skills that enhance ways of thinking, learning, working and living in the world. When combined with well-designed educational activities, mobile technology has the capacity to foster these abilities. This study evaluates the Critical Thinking & Problem Solving skills of ninth-grade…

This article is motivated by the importance of developing statistically literate students. The authors present a selection of problems that could be used to motivate student interest in probability as well as providing additional depth to the curriculum when used alongside traditional resources. The solutions presented utilise natural frequencies…

Learning needs to develop student's critical thinking because critical thinking is at the core of knowledge construction. Both high and low-ability students should be encouraged to develop critical thinking skills. This research aimed to determine the effect of integrating the Think Pair Share (TPS) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) strategies on…

The purpose of the research is to examine the learning outcomes included in Science and Art Centers' summer school support and development course of thinking education workshop program according to Bloom's taxonomy. The research was designed as a qualitative study, utilizing the document analysis technique and benefiting from descriptive analysis.…

Productively integrating technology is a vitally important part of teachers' practice (Barlow, 2021; Bezuk et al., 2017; NCTM, 2018). To adequately prepare Prospective Mathematics Teachers (PMTs) for the demands of teaching professionally, we need to understand more about how teachers and PMTs learn to integrate technology into their classroom.…

The recent Next Generation Science Standards recommend students have increased opportunities engaging in modeling work scientists do. Science classroom tasks include simple inquiry compared to more complex authentic inquiry that closely resembles authentic science. Science fair participation presents students with the opportunity to engage in…

Literature emphasizes that gamification significantly enhances students' engagement in learning and their motivation level. Studies have also examined the benefits of gamification in learning across different levels of education. However, the focus on academics' pedagogical understanding, knowledge, and skills and how they utilize these in…

In the previous study the work experience on organization of teaching Robotics to secondary school students at school lessons and in study groups was introduced. This study which was conducted within 2019 and 2021 covered the period of distant learning caused by COVID-19 pandemic and even post-pandemic period, when a part of school students…

Young children encounter uncertainty and challenges on a daily basis; through their intuitions, experiences and experimentation they construct knowledge, skills and dispositions towards probabilistic concepts. The aim of this exploratory ethnographic study is to identify how young children engage with probabilistic thinking and reasoning while…

Data modeling is an essential activity in a data-driven society, but such a topic and how the context shapes it has received limited attention. This paper reports on research that investigated the role of context in supporting early statistical reasoning in the data modeling process. The data were collected throughout sessions in which young…

This paper describes the role of data and task context in young children's interpretation of and reasoning about data tables. A design-based descriptive study was conducted with fourteen 5-year-old children in their first year of formal schooling. A picture storybook provided the data context for a data modelling activity that focused on…
