Background/purpose: The application of learning models is expected to significantly promote the enhancement of students' problem-solving abilities through the development of interactive learning models. This study aims to (1) determine whether the Development of the Component Display Theory (CDT) Model is categorized as valid, practical, and…

The architecture of the computational thinking with gamified using artificial intelligence prompt engineering, or architecture of the CT platform with gamified, is a learning tool intended to promote activity-based learning that focuses on problem-solving by doing. This platform is fabricated with the combination of computational thinking process…

Artificial intelligence companies and researchers are currently working to create Artificial Superintelligence (ASI): AI systems that significantly exceed human problem-solving speed, power, and precision across the full range of human solvable problems. Some have claimed that achieving ASI -- for better or worse -- would be the most significant…

Every student comes to science class with unique skills and problem-solving abilities; unfortunately, there is limited research on how to differentiate instruction so that equitable progress can be made for every learner. We used a novel pedagogical approach to differentiate for a wide range of problem-solving abilities when students were learning…

Within elementary science reform, time is a crucial consideration, yet conceptions of time in education research are undertheorized. To address this gap, we use sociological literature to identify three conceptions of time that help us understand and interpret leaders' and teachers' sensemaking and decision making about time in their efforts to…

Background: Self-regulation is identified in the literature as an early predictor of later in life success and an important skill that develops over the course of a lifetime but begins in early childhood. Objective: The purpose of this research study was to assess whether direct instruction of Mindfulness Practices, such as guided meditation and…

While collaborative learning activities are designed to foster inter-thinking and co-creation of knowledge, studies have suggested that these outcomes are not guaranteed simply because learners work together in groups. This study investigated the relationship between cognitive interaction during collaborative engagement and exploratory talk by…

One expected outcome of physics instruction is that students develop quantitative reasoning skills, including strategies for evaluating solutions to problems. Examples of well-known "canonical" evaluation strategies include special case analysis, unit analysis, and checking for reasonable numbers. We report on responses from three tasks…

This research delves into the effectiveness of youth hackathons, highlighting their ability to foster innovation, creativity and skill development among school-aged children and teenagers. Through an ethnographic approach and analysis of six such hackathons, the research identifies the desired outcomes of these events, such as enhanced…

This study explores the effectiveness of different problem-posing approaches in improving learning outcomes and problem-posing abilities among prospective mathematics teachers. This study employed a pre- and post-tests control group experimental design. The experimental group engaged in online and direct problem-posing, the comparison group used…

The practice of statistics has the power to motivate and support learning across the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines. When connected with meaningful science contexts, statistical problem solving through the collection of data and subsequent data analysis, supported by contemporary graphing technology, presents…

Mathematical problem-solving places heavy demands on children's developing working memory capacity. This review examines how offloading numerical information using embodied (e.g. finger counting) or external tools (e.g. manipulatives) can reduce cognitive load and improve mathematical task performance. Strategic offloading emerges in childhood;…

Education on computational thinking skills has been a focus in many countries. Previous studies have investigated educational board games based on computational thinking skills. However, there is a lack of research on the cognitive behaviors and cognitive styles promoted by these educational board games. Therefore, in this study, educational board…

Interdisciplinary engineering education (IEE) is gaining traction as engineering practices increasingly acknowledge the need to transcend traditional boundaries given the complexities of globalised systems. IEE, however, faces challenges that underscore uncertainties and different perceptions about what interdisciplinarity means for engineering…

Guiding students' STEM problem solving entails dynamic processes driven by changes in real-world contexts. To understand these processes, we aimed to identify the formation and influence of 'norms' as shared behaviour patterns desirable in STEM problem-solving. To this end, 10 sessions of STEM lessons for secondary students were carried out, and…
