This essay extends beyond the characteristics and discourse of word problems to, more generally, school mathematical problem-solving and the implications entailed by a predominant paper-and-pencil mode of learning and instruction since the modern era of education. Contrasting what I call "one-handed" (with paper-and-pencil) with…

The objective of this research is to develop the architecture of the inquiry based learning platform with Generative AI (IBL platform with Gen-AI) in order to promote remembering and understanding skills for dental public health students. The platform developed in this research is based mainly on the principles of inquiry based learning, which…

Entrepreneurship project-based learning model on the problem-solving skills of Biology Education study. This study aims to describe the structural correlation construction of creative thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy among biology education students in East Java. The population in this study was…

There is a large disconnect between the increasing need for computer science education in K-12 schools and the preservice teacher training provided. Consequently, preservice teachers may graduate feeling unprepared to infuse computer science concepts such as computational thinking (CT) into their teaching. To address this, we created Robotics in…

A hallmark of effective teaching is that it grants learners not just a collection of facts about the world, but also a toolkit of abstractions that can be applied to solve new problems. How do humans teach abstractions from examples? Here, we applied Bayesian models of pedagogy to a necklace-building task where teachers create necklaces to teach a…

This study explored cognitive effects on narrative macrostructure in both languages of 38 Russian-German bilinguals aged 4;6 to 5;1‚ while controlling for demographic factors (sex, socioeconomic status) and language proficiency. Macrostructure was operationalised as story structure (SS) and story complexity (SC) using the Multilingual Assessment…

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is considered an effective strategy for knowledge construction, and research on CSCL in cross-cultural contexts is of great significance for improving the knowledge construction and learning outcomes in minority regions. This study focuses on the relationship between thinking styles and role…

Trigonometric derivatives are fundamental in both mathematics and physics, yet their correct application, particularly the distinction between radians and degrees, remains a significant challenge for college students worldwide. This study identifies a widespread "blind spot" in understanding trigonometric derivatives and their…

Higher Education Institutions are increasingly facing challenges in designing courses that enable students to develop the transdisciplinary knowledge, skills and understanding needed to engage with complex 'wicked' problems. This article reports on a conceptual framework for STEAM in Higher Education (HE), in which design thinking is interwoven…

This study examined the direct and indirect effects of foundational language (vocabulary and syntactic knowledge) and literacy (orthographic knowledge) skills, transcription (spelling and handwriting fluency), and higher-order cognitive skills (comprehension monitoring and inferencing making) on writing among Chinese children. Participants were…

With the rise of quantum computing, interest has grown in using two-state quantum systems (qubits) at the secondary level to foster students' conceptual understanding. Quantum measurement, in particular, is central to quantum theory and its accurate conceptualization by students is crucial for grasping fundamental quantum principles. However,…

Student responses on the PISA 2022 creative thinking test are a rich source of data. The CT Rescoring Project applied new scoring methods to PISA 2022 creative thinking data in 14 countries and economies to identify the most creative responses in the sample and shed new light on key questions about creativity and creative thinking. This report…

Purpose: This study intends to promote social sustainability by addressing the shifting skill expectations for recent graduates in response to changing employer demands within the industry 5.0 framework. It tries to identify the best combination of socially sustainable skills that will improve graduates' employability and align them with industry…

Even though teacher educators are often recognized as key actors in implementing curriculum reforms, little is known about their joint meaning-making about these reforms. In this article, Bernstein's description of the general recontextualizing processes is used to identify the local processes which contributed to teacher educators'…

The research reported in this article sought to develop a taxonomy of grade 11 students' levels of understanding in algebraic problem-solving tasks. The student sample was from high schools in the province of Ontario in Canada. Problems from four areas in algebra namely, variables, expressions, equations and word problems were chosen to be…
