Mathematical symbols, such as those embodying quantum concepts, are indispensable for conveying complex ideas and relationships in academic writing. However, some education researchers and students keep a distance from anything mathematical: algebraic equations, geometrical reasoning, or statistical symbols. How to lower the access threshold for…

Variability is underemphasized in domains such as engineering. Statistics and data science education research offers a variety of frameworks for understanding variability, but new frameworks for domain applications are necessary. This study investigated the professional practices of working engineers to develop such a framework. The Neglected,…

This paper analyses whether using analogies to integrate knowledge from other scientific areas increases the level of accounting knowledge. We defined two sets of analogies, one between the physical states of water and the economic and cash flows, and another between the concepts of stock, flow and feedback that were taken from the System Dynamics…

In the field of artificial intelligence-based fitness apps, the effective integration of behavior change techniques (BCTs) is critical for promoting physical activity and improving health outcomes. However, the specific BCTs employed by apps and their impact on user engagement and behavior change are not explored sufficiently. This study…

This research paper explores critical thinking in higher education from the instructors' perspective. A customized survey examined how educators perceive, integrate, and evaluate critical thinking within their courses. Using Bloom's Taxonomy, analysis, and discussion will focus on the views of faculty from various disciplines in a midsize…

Herein, I explore the meanings of the oft-used phrase "children's voices." The phrase is seldom defined in the literature on children's language, oral and written. And yet, studying those voices has been fronted as a key methodological tool allowing insights into concerns about equity and the erasure of "nonmainstream"…

Amalgamating generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), Bloom's taxonomy and critical thinking present a promising avenue to revolutionize assessment pedagogy and foster higher-order cognitive skills needed for learning autonomy in the domain of self-directed learning. Gen AI, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), has emerged as a…

Experiential teaching practices can provide transformative learning opportunities for students. However, thus far the experiential education literature considers "experiential activities" monolithically, without acknowledging differences in emotions, particularly negative emotions, students may experience or educator skill in…

Twenty years have elapsed since the publication of the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT) in 2001, which has established itself as a major tool for defining the objectives of educational programs worldwide. It is, however, high time to revisit the efficacy of RBT in defining educational objectives of the digital natives. The current article initiates…

This paper explores higher education faculty evaluation systems through the lens of Ernest Boyer's definition of scholarship and a 21st century teaching and learning model. Topics include: taxonomies of teaching and learning, the scholarship of teaching and learning, "unbundling" and the use of non-tenure professors, higher education…

Despite the strong influence parenting plays in every aspect of child development, there has been relatively little research focused on how parents influence the academic motivation of their high-ability or gifted child in the home setting. The current study details a conceptual replication of one widely cited study on this topic conducted by Garn…

This book offers an overview of the complex world of digital materials for music education and of their possible use in the everyday practice of music teachers. It presents a multidimensional taxonomy of digital materials for music education. Through the taxonomy it is possible to derive a clear framework of the whole field and to perform analysis…

The aim of this study is to investigate the cognitive process dimension of the revised Bloom's taxonomy in the question preparation of prospective primary school teachers in fourth grade Turkish and mathematics courses. This research is a descriptive study carried out following the survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The study…

As there has always been a concern regarding creation of reliable online assessments by educators, this academic article provides an idea for creating of online assignments for the inexperienced assessment literate teachers. This proposed model will show how to utilize Bloom's model to create digital online assignments using ICT tools. The…

This study identified and annotated appropriate test items using the multiple-choice test item format in the cognitive domain of the taxonomy of educational objectives in assessing and evaluating musical learning through the descriptive-developmental research design. This assessment approach is one of the key skills needed of Music teachers to…
