The purpose of this article is to present the results of an exploratory analysis of the level of perceived achievement of the complex thinking competency in a group of engineering students in their last semester at a university in Western Mexico. Its intention is to identify whether this population has the necessary skills to be able to meet…

This study investigated the complex relationship between false-belief (FB) understanding, structural language and pragmatic communication in typically developing children. A total of 78 Finnish children, aged from 4 to 6 years, including an equal number of boys and girls, participated in this study. In the first instance, the study explored the…

Unlike other technologies that augment human physical skills and abilities, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies interact with human thinking skills nurtured through various educational processes. Hence, advances in these technologies challenge the education sector to reimagine the suitable intellectual formation of students in the AI age. It…

While previous research has shown that claim-evidence-reasoning can effectively promote higher-order thinking skills in science education, more research should be done on using claim evidence-reasoning in elementary school settings. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of claim-evidence-reasoning in promoting the scientific reasoning…

Purpose: There is solid evidence that an early age at cochlear implantation, which reduces the period of auditory deprivation, positively impacts early spoken language development. However, there is an urgent need for more research to understand the long-term effects of early implantation on higher linguistic skills, such as metaphor…

Long COVID has widespread and long-lasting multisystemic impacts on patients' bodies, cognition, and daily functioning, including the ability to work. Longitudinal studies are important in investigating the expected timelines along the course of recovery. This mixed cross-sectional/longitudinal study examines how symptoms (cognitive and…

This investigation explored the role of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered gamification on mathematics cognition through a mixed-methods design, blending an intervention with a gamified learning application (app) and a survey to evaluate student engagement and performance. The study explores the nexus of gamification, AI, and mathematics…

This study investigated whether computational thinking skills and participation styles in online instructional discussions differ according to faculty, class, and gender and examined the relationship between computational thinking skills and participation styles in online instructional discussions. A total of 249 teacher candidates from five…

Tactile cartography and the use of tactile teaching resources play a fundamental role in building the geographical reasoning of blind and low-vision students. These resources provide a sensory representation of space, allowing students to explore and understand geographical elements through touch. In this context, this study addresses the…

This study explores the use of ChatGPT in an Academic English course at a Spanish Polytechnic university, focusing on critical thinking, writing skills, and academic integrity. It proposes a workshop demonstrating how Artificial Intelligence tools can be integrated into the classroom routine. Involving 101 engineering students, ChatGPT was used to…

Identifying elements that enhance student creativity is essential for effective educational design. The rapid adoption of digital educational technologies (DETs) has become a key factor in this process. This study aims to present causal evidence on the impact of teachers' use of digital technology in education on the creative thinking of…

Quantitative reasoning is an essential learning objective of physics instruction. The Physics Inventory for Quantitative Literacy (PIQL) is a published assessment tool that has been developed for calculus-based physics courses to help instructors evaluate whether their students learn to reason this way. However, the PIQL is not appropriate for the…

The domain of early childhood education has witnessed an increasing emphasis on developing coding and computational thinking (CT) abilities. Scholarly investigations have delved into appropriate approaches for enhancing these proficiencies within early childhood classrooms. The present study aims to investigate the impact of a digital story design…

This study aims to develop and validate an age-appropriate, easily manipulated, and robot-based assessment named Computational Thinking Observational Scale (CTOS) for 3- to 5-year-olds. The study sample included 46 preschoolers (M[subscript age] = 3.57 years, SD = 0.36). Expert judgment confirmed excellent content validity, yielding a Scale-level…

In this paper, we discuss the development and application of an analytical tool for use with teachers to help them become aware of how they attend to students' thinking during discussions. Through understanding how one explicitly attends to student thinking, corrective measures for improving facilitation of effective classroom discussions can…
