In the present study, we investigated pre-service mathematics teachers' problem-formulation performances, which is a kind of problem-posing, in terms of being related to the existing problems, mathematical validity, and strategy types. Thirty-eight participants responded to a paper-and-pencil test wherein they formulated mathematics problems in as…

The aim of this survey design study was three-fold. First, to investigate the creative problem-solving attributes of high school students. Second, to examine whether any inter-relationships exist between subdimensions of creative problem-solving attributes. Third, to determine whether high school students' creative problem-solving attributes vary…

This study aims to examine research on soft skills in Turkey. Soft skills complement technical skills and encompass personal and interpersonal knowledge and skills, such as communication, leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, problem-solving, and ethics. Theoretical information and research literature on hard and soft skills are provided.…

Recently, it has been seen that rapid changes have started to alter perspectives on education. With the development of information technologies, this change has started to make continuous education compulsory. The paradigm of continuous change and development in education is Lifelong Learning. Raising individuals who are inclined towards lifelong…

The purpose of this study is to investigate how to improve middle school 6th-grade students' skill of associating mathematics with real life through Realistic Mathematics Education, which was reinforced with educational games, to determine the problems possible to be encountered in practice and how to solve these problems in details. This study,…

This study aimed to reveal a relationship between high school students' 21st-century skills and academic performance in mathematics and science courses. The research was designed in a relational survey model. In the study group, there were 596 students. Descriptive statistics, the one-way analysis of variance, the Pearson correlation test, and…

This study investigates the effects of teaching mathematics supported by problem-posing strategies on fourth-grade students' problem-posing skills. This study also seeks to determine students' views about the process. To this end, the study employed an explanatory sequential design, a mixed method that incorporates collecting quantitative and…

This study is important because it deals with 21st century skills and current techniques in the field of educational technology and the studies in this field are limited in the literature. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of coding, robotics, 3D design and game design education on problem solving and reflective thinking skills…

A new perspective on chemistry learning could be the optimal learning moment of view based on flow theory. Optimal learning moments (OLMs) that occur when students experience high levels of interest, challenge, and skill at the same time were investigated in this study. Participants of the study were 47 pre-service science teachers. Data were…

In this study, an assessment tool was developed to measure the reasoning skills (RS) of preservice science teachers on socio-scientific issues (SSI). As a result of the literature review, the scale was developed based on five dimensions. These dimensions are complexity, questioning, having different perspectives, skeptical approach and the…
