Computational Thinking (CT) skills are increasingly recognized as essential for junior high school students, especially in addressing the demands of the digital era. This study explores how CT skills--decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking--manifest in learning statistics based on students' cognitive abilities. A…

Although computational thinking (CT) has emerged as an essential competence across all educational levels, limited research has focused on teachers' readiness for CT education, particularly within the context of early childhood education (ECE). This study involved 1,387 Chinese ECE teachers to identify their CT readiness profiles based on…

This study aims to measure the effectiveness of electronic civic education teaching materials integrated into LMS-SPADA in improving students' STEM reasoning ability and communication skills. In addition, this study will also measure the effect of gender on their STEM reasoning ability and communication skills. The research design is a…

Throughout the world scientific reasoning (SR) is a valuable and desirable ability to gain deeper understanding of science in all grade level. In the current study, we first adapted the SPR-I (7) which consists of seven items with three sub-dimensions as the experimentation, the understanding the nature of science (NOS) and the data…

This study investigates the effect of a professional development program designed to develop prospective mathematics teachers' ability to notice students' proportional reasoning. It examines how those teachers attended to student thinking, how they interpreted it, and how they decided to respond. Sixteen prospective teachers (PSTs) at a state…

Much attention has been paid to computational thinking (CT) as a problem-solving approach across various curricula, particularly in mathematics. Most studies solely used a digital instrument or examined transfer of program solving ability, neglecting the mathematics knowledge domain or how the novel digital instrument functions alongside the…

This study aimed to examine teachers' classroom practices in the context of computational thinking skills and to determine their views on computational thinking. In the research process, the Q method was used in which quantitative and qualitative methods were used together. The participants of the research consist of 48 primary school teachers.…

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a context-based learning (CBL) management plan on the scientific reasoning abilities of Grade 6 students in Thailand. The participants consisted of 13 students from a public school in the northeastern region. The research instruments included a two-tier multiple-choice test to assess…

This paper aims to characterize critical events noticed by novice mathematics teacher-educators (NMTEs) while they facilitate teacher education sessions. Twenty-four NMTEs enrolled in a university course on teaching teachers were asked to facilitate a series of three sessions with preservice teachers, identify critical events from those sessions…

Procedural and conceptual e-scaffolding has been shown to be effective for assisting novice learners in understanding new concepts. Its integration with modelling instructions (E-MI) raises expectations for improving scientific reasoning (SR) in students whose level is still a concern in Indonesia. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to find…

Policymakers worldwide are grappling with devising robust policies aimed at enhancing adult learning, due to its growing significance in bolstering competitiveness within knowledge-based economies. However, there is scant research on adult learning strategies for improving intrapersonal or social practice approaches, particularly in work settings,…

Contribution: The proposed operational model offers a detailed framework for understanding the complexities of design thinking. It helps instructors evaluate each stage, promoting the development of high-quality designs. This model emphasizes the link between the various stages and the final design quality, steering students toward achieving…

Answering questions and solving problems are critical skills that affect the quality of life for all people. The content areas of science and engineering traditionally and most directly address the processes of inquiry and problem-solving. While there is an increasing body of research surrounding teaching academic content (i.e., mathematics and…

Background: Given that limited well-developed instruments are available to assess students' transdisciplinary STEM practices (T-STEMP), this study aims to develop and validate an instrument for examining secondary students' T-STEMP competence. According to the T-STEMP assessment framework proposed in our previous study, we developed items and…

The ability to think mathematically critically is essential in learning as it helps students to think rationally in making decisions and formulating conclusions, as well as choosing the best option for themselves. In fact, PISA results in 2022 and TIMSS results in 2015 show that students' critical thinking skills are not optimum. Therefore, the…
