While there have been many calls for teaching ethics and responsible computing, it is unclear how responsible computing instruction and technical learning interact. Some instructors even hesitate to include ethics in their courses, fearing it might distract students from learning technical computing content. An approach called…

This research examined the impact of the Cognitive-Communicative (C-C) model as a pedagogical strategy for teaching algebraic word problems (AWPs). The C-C model integrates structured dialogue, concept clarification, and systematic problem-solving steps to enhance students' comprehension and reasoning. Employing a mixed-methods framework, the…

In this study, empirical research was conducted in the field of civic and moral education using a real problem-oriented learning methodology. The effectiveness of the methodology in enhancing students' civic awareness and moral behavior was assessed through a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The study combined quantitative and qualitative…

Integrating information literacy teaching methods with subject-content curricula to develop prospective biology teacher students' abilities is still problematic. This quasi-experimental research, with a nonrandomized pretest-posttest control group design, intends to compare the influences of challenge-based learning (CBL), problem-based learning…

The U.S. Nation's Report Card reveals that lower performing students exhibited greater achievement decline than their average/high performing peers based on 2022 long-term trend mathematics assessments for age 9 students. Technology, including computer-assisted instruction, plays an important role in today's dynamic learning environments.…

Mathematical writing in school is difficult to teach. Reasons include that it is a domain in which there are rules for some parts of the writing like for example mathematical notation while others must be negotiated locally in the classroom. Writing is also seldom separated from the process of solving mathematical problems, creating a situation…

The learning of mathematics generally undergoes a less effective and less appealing learning process, resulting in students' perceived lack of mastery of the material. Consequently, students' insufficient understanding of the concepts leads to a lack of folding back. In the process of understanding, it influences individual characteristics, where…

Elementary (5 [approximately] 11 years old) students with mathematics difficulties often struggle with word-problem solving. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to examine the comparative effectiveness of various instructional strategies and their combinations for improving word-problem solving skills in this population. We…

This study assessed the effectiveness of modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) in teaching students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) how to solve additive compare word problems. The study was conducted in Spain, and it involved three students with ASD who were 6, 7, and 9 years of age. A single-case, multiple-baseline across-students design…

The ability to think critically is an important and valuable skill that students should develop to successfully solve problems. The process of writing requires critical thinking (CT), and the subsequent piece of text can be viewed as a product of CT. One of the strategies educators may use to develop CT is modelling. Given ChatGPT's ability to…

Performance assessment through problem-solving or problem-posing provides benefits in learning mathematics. This study aims to obtain empirical evidence about the effects of performance assessment and metacognition on senior high school students' mathematics achievement. A quasi-experimental method was employed to engage 163 students in four…

In the 21st - century skills - oriented education, this study aims to bridge the gap in traditional mathematics teaching, which often addresses teamwork and problem - solving skills independently. It focuses on designing and assessing an integrated instructional model using Problem - Based Learning (PBL) via Collaborative Learning (CL) to equip…

The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of introducing the general notions of function and inverse function through a mathematical activity on linear functions, focusing on the quantitative meaning associated to the connection between a relation and its inverse. We present a genetic decomposition, that is, a viable cognitive path for…

This research, conducted between 2020 and 2024 in Romania, investigates the challenges and strategies related to teaching and solving mathematical word problems, based on insights from 163 teachers of grades 0 to 8. The study found that students often experience anxiety when solving word problems, especially during exams, due to difficulties with…

This paper explores the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into service-learning for fostering global citizenship and addressing societal challenges. Beginning with an overview of the complex issues facing society in the 21st century, this paper emphasizes the importance of engaging students in critical thinking, problem-solving,…
