Critical thinking is important for higher education yet challenging to teach. Despite much research and conceptual analysis, the practice of teaching remains both difficult and contested. Studies often draw on the experiences of teachers, or research by teachers on student experiences. Here, we argue that student voice in critical thinking…

This cluster-randomized efficacy trial evaluated the impact of the Ready for Wages intervention, a classroom-based social skills program designed to improve the employability of youth living and being educated in juvenile justice settings. Fifteen juvenile justice facility schools participated. Data were collected from 118 classrooms: 59 treatment…

This paper discusses several linear algebra activities designed to help enhance students' skills in collaborating, exploring mathematics, and linking together abstract and visual ways of approaching mathematics. Most of these activities are short, accessible, engaging, and easy to incorporate into any classroom. In addition, we discuss some…

Behavioral readiness can take the form of communication and self-control skills during challenging situations that are correlated with the development of problem behavior. A skill-based approach can teach behavioral readiness using procedures that involve synthesized reinforcement, probabilistic reinforcement, and contingency-based delays;…

A new mode of knowledge production, known as the 'organic growth pattern', has emerged within the online learning environment. It exhibits several unique features, such as iterative growth, fuelled by collective intelligence, fuzzy complexity, etc. It is more valuable and adaptable to support knowledge innovation within rapidly changing fields. To…

In service of the goal of examining how cognitive science can facilitate human-computer interactions in complex systems, we explore how cognitive psychology research might help educators better utilize artificial intelligence and AI supported tools as facilitatory to learning, rather than see these emerging technologies as a threat. We also aim to…

Projects have been used in primary school education for over a century. As managing projects has become increasingly critical in the workplace, educators have an opportunity to prepare young children with the necessary project management knowledge and skills to succeed in the future. However, in the absence of empirical studies, it is difficult to…

This study compared the effects of video feedback (VF) as a stand-alone intervention and video modeling plus video feedback (VMVF) for improving soccer players' static ball control skills. Research has suggested that VF alone and VMVF produce substantial improvements for young athlete's skills, though no studies have compared the two. Therefore,…

The present study illustrates digital storytelling (DS) as an open-ended learning environment, which is one of the ways of preparing pre-service teachers (PST) to practice computational thinking (CT) in their future teaching. An 8-week teacher training program was organized and presented. The study aims to investigate the program's impact on the…

Across the United States, school districts are reshaping the role of principal supervisors to include supervision practices intended to enhance the instructional and leadership skills of the principals they supervise. The purpose of this research study is to add to the existing body of research involving the predominant practices that principal…

The Three-Tier Video Modeling intervention model was derived from the theory of Response to Intervention. This pilot study aimed to demonstrate the application of the Three-Tier Video Modeling model with a top-down approach in teaching physical activity to a 4-year-old boy with autism spectrum disorder and his typically developing peers. The study…

Although opportunities for online learning in higher education have increased, variations in the quality of online teaching are likely. Instructors at some institutions might be new to online teaching and/or may lack the necessary supports for creating successful virtual learning environments. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was…

In this study, the aim was to investigate the effect of an evidence-based practice course on the lifelong learning skills and problem-solving skills of health science students. A prospective one-group pre-test--post-test design. The universe of the study consisted of 189 students from Cankiri Karatekin University. Student information form,…

The relationship between visual perceptions and graphic design of secondary school students is of great importance in terms of the development of their artistic skills. This link is directly related to how students interpret the visual world and how they express these interpretations through graphic design. The aim of this study is to examine the…

There is a necessity for an educational shift to equip today's learners for success in a dynamically evolving world shaped by emerging technologies and globalization. Emphasizing the importance of academic and technical skills, this report stresses the need for learners to possess adaptability and interpretive abilities to apply these skills in…
