Background: Conventional reflective learning methodologies in programming education often lack structured guidance and individualised feedback, limiting their pedagogical effectiveness. Whilst computational thinking (CT) offers a systematic problem-solving framework with decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design, its…

Clinical reasoning is a crucial skill for physicians, enabling them to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application. The gap between basic sciences and clinical practice persists as a challenge, with traditional teaching methods yet to effectively bridge it. Concept maps (CMs), visual tools for organizing and connecting knowledge, hold…

Background/purpose: This study examines whether Universal Design for Learning (UDL), based on the VARK model, can aid struggling students in mathematics in developing their statistical thinking skills. Additionally, the proposed study examines the relationship between learning preferences and the effect of these preferences on performance.…

"Self-Regulated Learning--Insights and Innovations" explores the multifaceted nature of self-regulated learning (SRL) in today's dynamic educational landscape. This book serves as both a reflection on current SRL practices and a roadmap for future advancements. It offers a comprehensive look at SRL across diverse educational settings,…

Despite the recognized efficacy of project-based learning (PBL) in fostering students' conceptual understanding, there is a notable gap in comprehensive research on its cross-disciplinary aspects, especially within the Lebanese context. This study seeks to investigate the impact of the Cross-Disciplinary Project-Based Learning Approach (CDPBLA) on…

This study investigated the effectiveness of localized learning content (LLC) in enhancing computational thinking (CT) skills and learning motivation among 6th-grade elementary school students in Busan, South Korea. In contrast to conventional methodological approaches, our research focuses on the transformative power of culturally and…

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…
