Argumentation is central to science learning. Students in every domain of science should have the opportunity to develop the ability to think and act in ways associated with argumentation. When engaged in argumentation, students learn how to puzzle through problems, to see multiple ways of finding solutions, to gather and evaluate evidence on…

Intuition is one of the main factors that drive our everyday decision-making which happens quickly and unconsciously. Individuals often rely on the use of intuition to solve either simple or complex problems. The purpose of this research study is to further break down an individual's thinking processes by understanding how different groups of…

Empirical evidence demonstrates the effect of productive failure (Kapur, 2008) on disciplinary knowledge. However, there is no clear theoretical explanation for why this is the case. Empirical evidence on argumentation and education shows the impact of curricular embedded deliberative argumentation on learning. However, these two trends of…

To meet the demands of the 21st century, adult learners must display a range of sophisticated strategies for dealing with the digital world. With the switch to online instruction over the last months this need is only greater. In this article, I describe specific activities I implement with adult learners in a math and science class to help them…

The aim of the present study is to analyze the relationship between the social skills and creativity of children aged between 7 and 11 years. 312 children, aged 7-11 years and their mothers were the participants of the present study. Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TToCT) Verbal and Nonverbal tasks fluency Form A was administered to the…

The purpose of this study is to examine changes in pre-service science teachers' entrepreneurship mindsets during engineering design-based activities. A holistic single-case study was used in the study. Twenty-eight pre-service teachers carried out engineering design-based activities (five weeks, 20 hours) in the science teaching laboratory…

This paper analyses how pre-service teachers approach the notion of the infinite limit of a sequence from two perspectives: Specialized Content Knowledge and Advanced Mathematical Thinking. The aim of this study is to identify the difficulties associated with this notion and to classify them. In order to achieve this, an exploratory qualitative…

This study aims to analyze the reliability generalization of the computational thinking scale. There are five dimensions of computational thinking: creativity, algorithmic thinking, cooperativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. A Bonett transformation was used to standardize the reliability coefficient of Cronbach's alpha. A…

Considering problem-solving ability as an important qualification in the 21st century that could be developed by instructional methods that allow learners to construct their knowledge via questioning through cooperative learning activities, we conducted action research with the purpose of investigating the effectiveness of inquiry-based and…

Nowadays, individuals are expected to be literate in different areas. Mathematical literacy and financial literacy are among them. Mathematical literacy has been evaluated in PISA since 2000 while financial literacy has been included in PISA since 2012. Based on the idea that there is a close relationship between these literacies, in this study…

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…

This study explores the relationship between the dispositions toward research that writing teachers convey through their assignments and those that their students express in their reflective writing. We applied the term "problem-exploring" to a set of dispositions described by the ACRL Framework and coded each clause of instructor…

Representations are used throughout school mathematics for students to both think through a problem and communicate their ideas. Students also often come to mathematics class with a repertoire of representations. This article presents the ideas of different and multiple representations with conceptual connections as their underlying distinguishing…

This study examines the relationship between teacher perceived stress during the online period of schooling in the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, and their wellbeing, with job crafting as a mediator, The study also examines the role of problem-focused coping as a moderator in the stress-job crafting relationship. A sample of 360 teachers, 347…

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…
