Teacher questioning is crucial for fostering critical thinking in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Understanding how teachers use critical thinking questions is essential for researchers and practitioners seeking to enhance students' critical thinking skills. This study draws on the Paul-Elder Critical Thinking Model and the…

There is evidence in the literature that teaching critical thinking in college courses at both community colleges and four-year universities helps students gain critical thinking skills. However, students are not learning the critical thinking skills that employers expect in freshman-level science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)…

Most theories of intelligence do not directly address the question of whether people with high intelligence can successfully solve real world problems. A high IQ is correlated with many important outcomes (e.g., academic prominence, reduced crime), but it does not protect against cognitive biases, partisan thinking, reactance, or confirmation…

Esports or competitive video gaming has been increasingly utilized to enhance essential twenty-first century skills. However, there is limited evidence on the extent to which the skills acquired from a gaming environment can be transferred to other settings. This study employed an experimental design to investigate the effectiveness of a…

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to enhance the quality of education in rural management through the inclusion of students' voices, namely, active participation in the curriculum development intervention. This approach aims to foster critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity, thereby enhancing student engagement and in…

Experiential learning plays an important role in teaching business law. This paper builds upon prior research regarding the use of experiential learning activities to teach contract law, by adding the use of generative artificial intelligence to a contract simulation activity. As part of a multi-week, in-class simulation, students used generative…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present the results of measuring a sample of engineering students' perceived achievement of complex thinking at different stages of their professional training. This study intended to analyze and predict the differences in the self-perception of achieved complex thinking competency by gender, semester,…

Drawing on critical theorist Herbert Marcuse's analysis of modern technological society in his 1964 book, "One-Dimensional Man," this article argues that the forces of one-dimensionality that characterize citizens under capitalism have necessarily found their way into schools, leading to what we see as an epidemic of the one-dimensional…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize education by promoting personalized learning experiences and enhancing educators' efficiency. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are increasingly used by K-12 teachers for lesson planning, differentiated instruction, and automated feedback. This article examines how ChatGPT, in…

Critical thinking skills are needed to face the challenges of living in the 21st century. Education must be able to foster students' critical thinking and enable them to think independently. This study aims to investigate the development of students' critical thinking skills during the learning process using an e-module based on problem-based…

The aim of this research was to establish a structural relation among calculus scholars' beliefs, self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies, and problem-solving skills related to differential equations (DEs). To identify the relationships between different variables and their impact on DE problem-solving, a correlational study design with an a…

Molecular Cell Biology (MCB) should be taught according to the scientific practices, avoiding cumulative and memory knowledge construction, but favoring scientific thinking. A way to achieve this goal is to apply activities involving scientific news, which construct knowledge through significant learning and the development of critical thinking.…

Digital gameplay and digital multimodal composition (DMC) are promising multimodal literacy practices. Nevertheless, research on their incorporation in literacy classrooms to foster students' multimodal literacy skills is lacking. This qualitative case study explored how two groups of Chinese adolescents used multimodal literacy in digital…

Education is based on a process that attempts to profile individual behavior via learning. Although this process includes formal and informal dimensions, it could be suggested that both dimensions are effective on the behavior of the individual. Several factors affect the educational process. These variables are significant determinants that…

This paper investigates how ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, can be introduced to STEM education, specifically, an "Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience" class. Using mixed-method research, the study conducted an experiment to collect students' performance scores and their feedback to examine the potential impacts from…
