Testing is a highly important tool, used ubiquitously in academia, to assess student comprehension and understanding of material. Unfortunately, the emphasis placed on test grades has resulted in a modern epidemic of test-related anxiety, which can have adverse health effects on students. Over time, novel testing strategies have been developed to…

This research paper explores critical thinking in higher education from the instructors' perspective. A customized survey examined how educators perceive, integrate, and evaluate critical thinking within their courses. Using Bloom's Taxonomy, analysis, and discussion will focus on the views of faculty from various disciplines in a midsize…

Amalgamating generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), Bloom's taxonomy and critical thinking present a promising avenue to revolutionize assessment pedagogy and foster higher-order cognitive skills needed for learning autonomy in the domain of self-directed learning. Gen AI, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), has emerged as a…

In this study of 211 teacher work samples derived from a professional development programme, teachers' conceptualisations of student inquiry were revealed by examining the nature of perceived outcomes and the role of critical thinking that animated teachers' student inquiries collected over nine years. Using a schema adapted from the literature,…

Background/purpose: Computational Thinking (CT) has gained widespread attention in education as a core cognitive skill essential for solving complex problems in both academic and real-world contexts. While Indonesian educators have actively adopted CT as part of national educational reforms, questions remain about how closely current practices…

Digital electronics is a fundamental subject for engineering students, and it enables the students to learn design-based approaches and solve complex engineering problems. Students learn about minimization techniques for reducing the hardware components and size of the circuit by solving complex Boolean equations. The Karnaugh map (K-map) is one…

Background: The history essay, and historical writing, are crucial forms of assessment in History throughout primary and high school education. This article draws from an autoethnography of teachings in a pre-service history teachers' school classroom. This article discusses obstacles students experience in conceptualising and writing the history…

In online microteaching, pre-service teachers (PSTs) deliver lessons through online platforms, thus acquiring valuable experience in effective use of technological tools. In refining these experiences, it is crucial for the PSTs to undergo self-, peer, and tutor assessments. This study examined the concordance among self-, peer, and tutor…

Exams can be a stressful time in a student's life where they are required to review notes and memorize facts and figures. Many students leave these exams and forget the material relatively quickly. An alternative pedagogical exam style where students create their own exam questions is a method that engages students through active participation and…

The arrival of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) has caused considerable concern for educators worldwide, many of whom are still recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the debate continues around the use of AI in education, one approach to ensure students are achieving their learning objectives, the oral exam or…

In today's fast-paced digital world, understanding Artificial Intelligence (AI) is crucial for management students. This paper explores using the Turing test, a famous method to see if AI can act like a human, as a key tool in management education. The focus is on how this test can help students learn about AI more deeply. This paper introduces an…

Background/purpose: Critical thinking (CT) is fundamental in science education, but instruments to measure CT in specific domains, such as physics, are still limited. The present study aims to develop and validate the Critical Thinking Test in Temperature and Heat (CTTH), an instrument designed to measure critical thinking skills in the topic of…

Professional trainers are responsible for teaching novice employees. However, the conventional approach to training professional trainers is generally a lecture-based mode, implying that they often lack the opportunity to learn to make use of practical cases encountered by novice employees, to explore problem-solving methods, to objectively…

Educationalists have had serious problems in proposing well-grounded ways of teaching critical thinking. Reviews of the field have called for research to develop theory concerning the learning experience associated with critical thinking enhancement, as well as to explore more tailored teaching and evaluation methods. This article suggests an…

Teacher Professional Education (known as PPG) is an Indonesian government programme to produce professional teachers who can implement Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in learning so that students in Indonesia can be expected to have high HOTS. However, in reality, students' HOTS in Indonesia are still low, raising questions about the…
