Ibrahim Abdullah Alshaye; Zaidatun Tasir; Nurul Farhana Jumaat – Open Education Studies, 2023
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of online problem-based learning (PBL) tasks on problem-solving ability (PSA) and programming skills of secondary school students. A quantitative research design of a quasi-experimental research was adopted in this study. A purposive non-random sampling method was used to select two schools. Then, a…

Koehler, Adrie A.; Vilarinho-Pereira, Daniela Rezende – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Educators consider the development of problem-solving skills in learners to be a primary goal of contemporary teaching and learning efforts. Yet, participating in problem-centered instruction is challenging for learners, and educators have sought different ways of supporting learners as they make sense of complex content. Social media applications…

Marci S. DeCaro; Campbell R. Bego; Lianda Velic; Phillip M. Newman – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2025
Instructors traditionally lecture on new content before providing practice problems, but learning is often superficial. Exploratory learning before instruction deepens conceptual understanding by giving students a novel activity to explore before direct instruction. We examined how increasing the salience of contrasting cases in exploration versus…

Treepob, Hongnapa; Hemtasin, Chulida; Thongsuk, Tawan – International Education Studies, 2023
Making predictions and observations, interpreting data, and drawing conclusions are all examples of scientific problem-solving procedures. The purpose of this research was 1) to develop scientific problem-solving skills by applying problem-based learning as a basis for students in grade 9 to pass the 70 percent requirement and 2) to study the…

Deringöl, Yasemin; Guseinova, Elvira – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2022
Textbooks are one of the learning mediums. The activities in mathematics textbooks and qualities of these activities are of paramount importance. Problem-posing is one of the activities in these textbooks. Many researchers emphasize that examination of textbooks is important in explaining student success. The purpose of this study was to examine…

Pelánek, Radek; Effenberger, Tomáš – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2023
To provide practice and assessment of computational thinking, we need specific problems students can solve. There are many such problems, but they are hard to find. Learning environments and assessments often use only specific types of problems and thus do not cover computational thinking in its whole scope. We provide an extensive catalog of…

Wanda M. Valsecchi; Jose M. Delfino; Javier Santos; Santiago E. Faraj – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
When teaching STEM courses, it is important to introduce state-of-the-art techniques. Students need to learn how to conduct experiments, analyse data and choose the most effective approaches to address meaningful situations. Here we present the assessment of the implementation of a structured inquiry-based activity aimed at teaching students about…

Melody García-Moya; Susana Marcos; Raquel Fernández-Cézar – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2024
Many gifted students fail to be diagnosed, preventing them from receiving an education that is adapted to their characteristics, with activities that challenge their minds. Mathematics is one of the subjects in which they can demonstrate talent, where they often exhibit high skills in solving problems, handling numbers and performing spatial…

Qingtang Liu; Xinxin Zheng; Yaoyao Liu; Linjing Wu; Si Zhang; Ni Zhang; Qiyun Wang – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Problem-oriented teaching (POT) activities are important in classroom instruction. The level of student response can be influenced by different teacher behaviours in POT. However, the characteristics of teachers' multimodal behaviours at different levels of response are unclear. This study applied epistemic network analysis to explore the…

Bostic, Jonathan D.; Clark, Quintana M.; Vo, Tina; Esters, Levon T.; Knoblach, Neil A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2021
Agricultural life science topics include but are not limited to (1) agriculture and the environment, (2) culture, society, and economy, and (3) energy. These topics have potential to come up during mathematics and science instruction and offer learning opportunities. One way for agricultural life science topics to be part of such instruction is…

Rivera, Kira; Peabody, David – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
In this article, the authors describe an algebra 2 class activity, called the Exponent Maze, that had students practice many mathematics problems, display their creativity, and work together collaboratively by creating their own mazes. The authors discuss how they introduced the activity, what the students created, and how creating mazes can be…

Darius Endlich; Wolfgang Lenhard; Peter Marx; Tobias Richter – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Children with mathematical difficulties need to spend more time than typically achieving children on solving even simple equations. Since these tasks already require a larger share of their cognitive resources, additional demands imposed by the need to switch between tasks may lead to a greater decline of performance in children with mathematical…
