However, without a deep understanding of the underlying principles, students may find themselves merely going through…

Science knowledge is deeply intertwined with Microorganisms, which play essential roles in healthcare, food production and environmental management, making their study crucial for understanding impacts on food safety, spoilage and disease prevention. This research introduces hands-on activities designed for high school students (aged 14-15) to…

This study investigates the multifaceted impact of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini) on higher education. Employing grounded theory, we analyzed the experiences of eight students using these tools in their academic work. Our findings reveal both significant benefits, including enhanced learning, efficiency, and accessibility, and…

Background/purpose: This study aims to improve students' mathematical critical-numeracy thinking skills by applying the Problem-Based Learning-Autograph model. Materials/methods: This study used a mixed method with a sequential explanatory strategy, and the research design is a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population included students…

This study explores university educators' attitudes, barriers, and learning needs regarding the adoption of generative AI in higher education. Using a mixed-methods approach, surveys from 70 educators and interviews with five programme directors at a university in the Netherlands reveal generally positive attitudes, especially towards content…

Background/purpose. This research aims to analyze the influence and test the effectiveness of using an e-module based on sustainable development goals (SDGs) with the conceptual change model-cognitive conflict approach (CCM-CCA) integrated with local wisdom on students' critical thinking skills.

Preschool teachers' questioning is an important part of the teaching and learning process as questions can drive children's thinking (Nappi 2017). As one of the most common pedagogical tasks in preschool, storytelling has the potential to bring the world to the classroom using imagined or real stories. However, to date, there is limited knowledge…

This Scholarship of Teaching and Learning study evaluates a digital storytelling project that taught students in a university class on youth programming to apply research on youth work to the practice of working with diverse, underserved youth. The study examines the project's learning outcomes, which targeted the higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy…

Background/purpose: In the digital era, learning technology plays a crucial role in fostering 21st-century skills such as critical thinking. Despite many studies on technology in education, comprehensive analyses of global research trends on learning technology for critical thinking skills (LTCTS) remain limited. This study addresses the gap…

The twenty-first-century university faces unprecedented complexity, uncertainty, and diversity, driven by social, technological, and cultural transformations that demand the preparation of professionals capable of addressing both global and local challenges. This article examines how the integration of research on teaching and learning can serve…

Although cybersecurity is a major present concern, it is not a required subject in University. In response, we developed "Cyber World" which introduces students to eight highly important cybersecurity topics (primarily taught by none cybersecurity experts). We embedded it into our critical thinking Common Course (core curriculum) which…

This study investigates all available literature related to critical thinking in business education in a survey of publications in the field produced from 1990-2019. It conducts a thematic analysis of 787 articles found in Web of Science and Google Scholar, including a specific focus on 55 highly-cited articles. The aim is to investigate the…
