Since 2022, Artificial Intelligence has taken the education field by storm, resulting in a proliferation of research on AI's benefits, challenges, and pitfalls. A particular area of concern and uncertainty centers around AI and its impact on higher-order thinking skills. This qualitative systematic review comprising 31 articles aims to gather and…

Background: In professional contexts, engineers use engineering judgment to create mathematical models. Despite the importance of judgment in professional practice, the development and enactment of engineering judgment by engineering students are understudied. To better prepare students for engineering careers, there is a need to recognize and…

Engineering study abroad programs are a novel setting for students to develop systems thinking, which has primarily been taught in formal learning environments. Through a situated learning perspective, we examined the impact of two engineering-focused study abroad experiences on developing students' systems thinking skills. We conducted secondary…

This study aimed to explore the predictive value of self-regulation, critical thinking, and creative thinking on the writing performance of Iraqi EFL learners on TOEFL iBT, including both integrated and independent writing tasks. To this end, 300 advanced male and female Iraqi EFL learners took the Cornell Critical-Thinking Test-Level X, the…

Counterfactual reasoning is the ability to reason about how the world might have been if past events or states had been different. It is helpful for making sense of past experiences to create future blueprints. Languages like English apply subjunctive forms to directly mark counterfactual premises. In contrast, Chinese does not apply subjunctive…

In Latin America, Universities recognize that it is not enough to ensure the participation of equal numbers of men and women in the classrooms. In this sense, promoting the inclusion of women in STEM areas is a relevant issue for the region. This article presents the results of measuring students' perceived achievement of scientific-technological…

Responsible and ethical conduct of research (RECR) education is essential for the preparation of future scientists but is often overlooked for undergraduate scholars. To address this concern, the Ethics Network for Course-based Opportunities in Undergraduate Research (ENCOUR) engaged facilitators of course-based undergraduate research experiences…

Mathematics intervention research has established several effective interventions for building accuracy and fluency of math fact computation, as well as components that may improve student learning rates. While several evidence-based interventions promoting math fact accuracy and fluency exist, further work is needed to determine additional…

Diffusion is a critical component of the Physiology Core Concept of flow down gradients and is fundamental to understanding how ions, gases, or signaling molecules travel short distances in the body. When asked about diffusion, students often reason successfully using the "things move from areas of high to low concentration" heuristic…

The integration of advanced generative AI has profoundly influenced higher education, especially in language learning. In Japan's exam-focused and teacher-centered English education system, students have few opportunities to use generative AI to enhance critical skills like analysis, evaluation, and creativity. Learning often remains passive, with…

Context: Remote and online learning have become features of K-12 education since the COVID-19 school closures. Despite the increasing presence of online classrooms, the theoretical and ethical dimensions of this shift remain underexplored. While much attention has been paid to issues of access, equity, and instructional design, less consideration…

Research suggests exposure to misinformation continues to impact belief and reasoning, even if that misinformation has been corrected (referred to as the Continued Influence Effect, CIE). The present experiment explores two potentially important factors that may impact the effect: (1) learner age; and (2) length of delay between retraction and…

Inconsistency in real-world judgments can cause random unfairness, injustice and misallocation of resources. In their recent monograph Kahneman, Sibony, and Sunstein (2021) analyse judgment inconsistency or "Noise," examine its sources and propose remedies. In this commentary on Kahneman et al., we reflect on the major concepts (such as…

Background: Science identity is widely regarded as a key predictor of students' persistence in STEM fields, while the brain drain in STEM fields is an urgent issue for countries to address. Based on previous studies, it is logical to suggest that epistemological beliefs about science and reflective thinking contribute to the development of science…

The purpose of this study is to discover the main themes and categories of the research studies regarding digital literacy. To serve this purpose, the databases of WoS/Clarivate Analytics, Proquest Central, Emerald Management Journals, Jstor Business College Collections and Scopus/Elsevier were searched with four keyword-combinations and final…
