It is often assumed that problem-based learning is an effective approach for fostering the development and/or improvement of students' critical thinking. To shed light on the connection between problem-based learning and critical thinking, this scoping review maps out how the notion of critical thinking is conceptualized in relation to…

The fear of making mistakes and avoidance of risks can create disabling anxiety and limit learning opportunities. However, it is possible to teach mathematics in ways that not only reduce student agency but also have the effect of excluding some students.

This study, besides focusing on the applicability of computer-mediated Dynamic Assessment (DA), attempts to investigate the impacts of mediation provision in three different, albeit related, manners, that is, through computer, human, and mixture of both human and computer, on reading comprehension of L2 learners. In this mixed-methods study, a…

Problem-based learning (PBL) dates back to the 1970s and is inspired by the 1970s' collectivistic and practice-oriented learning ideals, emphasising dynamic learning processes without clear-cut or simple beginnings and ends. Today, PBL is often performed and framed by other discourses, strategies, rules, regulations and politics than those…

Being a cognitive strategy instruction model called 'Solve It!' involves cognitive and metacognitive elements. The model was developed by Montague (1992) as one of the process-based teaching strategies. The purpose of 'Solve It!' strategy is to teach the following seven cognitive strategy steps: read, paraphrase, visualize, hypothesize, predict,…

One argument for the use of contexts in mathematics instruction has been that contexts can serve as anchors that support students in understanding and recalling mathematical ideas. Evidence of this anchoring role occurring in standard classroom settings, however, is lacking. This case study of a single high school classroom using a contextual…

This paper aims to determine the predictive relationships between achievement goals and learning approaches in the context of social studies teaching and to compare the goal orientation models (3x2, 2x2) in the context of their relationships with learning approaches. The study utilized the multi-factorial predictive correlational design. The study…

Authors of the newly revised Teaching with the Brain in Mind, Liesl McConchie and Eric Jensen offer whole-brain approaches teachers can take to engage students in new learning and retaining that knowledge.

Deliberative democracy surfaces disagreements so that people holding conflicting stances understand each other's reasons for the purpose of decision-making.

The sample of the study, designed with the survey model, consisted of 269 students attending a vocational school of higher education. Data were collected using the Computational…

Lesson study is a technique that helps faculty examine student learning that encourages scholarly teaching. In lesson study, faculty identify a concept and develop a lesson plan to support student learning of the concept. The opportunity to collaborate on lesson development and to examine student learning opens up a space for faculty to exchange…
