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…

Increasingly, sustainability challenges in transdisciplinary courses are used to confront students with different dimensions of uncertainty, such as unpredictability, lack of knowledge, or ambiguity. However, little is known about how teachers adapt their teaching to scaffold students through such uncertainty. This design-based study investigates…

This paper explores the affordances of learning experiences gained in undergraduate students' professional ethics courses during the pandemic. The article also touches upon the possible contributions of the practices within the scope of the professional ethics course to students' professional and personal lives. Action research was used.…

The account of practice titled Action Learning to enable personal, organisational and industry level change in Welsh agriculture is set in the context of Agrisgôp which offers action learning and peer to peer mentoring as part of the Welsh Government's Farming Connect programme. The programme has adopted the Business-Driven Action Learning (BDAL)…

This study examines the relationships among problem-solving (PS), perceived financial strain (PFS), economic hope (EH), education (ED), and life satisfaction (LS) across 32 countries with varying income levels, using data from 57,545 respondents. A moderated mediation model tests five hypotheses regarding their direct, mediating, and moderating…

This study aims to examine the mathematical reasoning and proof processes of gifted students within the framework of Toulmin's Argumentation Model. Grounded in the Rich Teaching Model, the instructional design included seven differentiated lesson plans. The research was conducted with two 9th-grade students in a Science and Art Centre over 20…

Dimensional analysis is an algorithm currently in use in almost every chemistry classroom in the United States. Chemistry educators use this procedural tool in the classroom with the intention of providing students with a reliable method to solve many of the relatively simple math problems they encounter. The unintended consequence of using this…

Background/purpose: This study investigates the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with scaffolding in enhancing problem-solving skills among students with varying levels of prior knowledge. The main objective is to determine how scaffolding, when combined with PBL, can support students in developing stronger problem-solving…

Background/purpose: This research is motivated by the difficulties often experienced by students in adapting to their first year of college, especially related to learning calculus. To address these difficulties, a solution needs to be found so that these problems can be resolved. One solution that is expected to yield optimal results in…

Considering the complexity of COVID-19 and post-pandemic learning conditions, how can we foster intercultural and real-world learning outcomes in design studios? This article explores the possibilities for situated learning experiences to prepare students for industry. Design sprints and designathons are intensive experiences used in studio…

Background/Objectives: This study explores the integration of entrepreneurship education (EE) into STEM curricula in higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Global South. Given the intertwined nature of STEM and entrepreneurship, this study explores the current practices, perceived outcomes, and challenges associated with EE integration,…

In the field of mathematics education, the importance of visualization cannot be overstated, especially in mathematical problem-solving. The review's objective is to investigate visualization in mathematical problem-solving in secondary schools. Its status, regional contribution, subject domains, and outcomes should be the focus and…

Secondary school science education is evolving to meet the demands of the 21st century, with innovative teaching strategies, technology integration, and policy reforms creating more engaging and effective learning environments. Enhancing science education is essential for fostering a scientifically literate society capable of addressing future…

Collaborative problem solving is widely recognized as a critical 21st-century skill. Assessing collaborative problem solving depends on coding the communication data using a construct-relevant framework, and this process has long been a major bottleneck to scaling up such assessments. Based on five datasets and two coding frameworks, we…

Current approaches to language teaching highlight the importance of Language for Professions and Specific Purposes (LPSP) courses. These courses not only prepare learners for professional tasks but also foster twenty-first-century skills like problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. Despite the growing body of LPSP research, there is a…
