Cheung, Monit – Journal of Social Work Education, 2022
The miracle question (MQ) is a technique for assessing clients' ability to discover their potential in search of solutions. Educators can train students to use the classic MQ (What would life be without this problem?) to develop solution-focused skills in social work and counseling. This article describes the MQ Variations tool derived from the…

Segaran, Jeevalata Sathera; Eu, Leong Kwan – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2022
This study takes a closer look at Form Four students' initial mathematical modelling process when solving mathematical problems using GeoGebra. The modelling process was observed from cognitive perspective to learn the difficulties students faced during the process and the result would give ideas for intervention. Qualitative approach by using…

Polotskaia, Elena; Savard, Annie; Nadon, Catherine – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2021
Research in mathematics education suggests that learning to solve a problem should involve modelling and visual representation (e.g., Lesh & Zawojewski, 2007). According to researchers, transforming a mental representation of a situation into a visual representation of mathematical relationships between quantities enhances students'…

Batrouny, Nicole; Wendell, Kristen; Andrews, Chelsea; Dalvi, Tejaswini – Science and Children, 2021
The engineering design process (EDP) can be a wonderful tool to nurture creative problem-solving abilities, prepare students to tackle problems with intentional planning, and encourage learning from failures. Many lesson plans and instructional strategies are guided by the EDP (Hill Cunningham, Mott, and Hunt 2018). In this article, the authors…

Chijioke, Onah Celestine; Ikechukwu, Asadu; Aloysius, Aduma – Teaching Public Administration, 2021
The role theory plays in research work cannot be over-emphasized. A theory that is apt gives direction to research work in explaining, organizing, analyzing, and predicting phenomenon and showing their relationships in order to enhance understanding. Despite these roles played by theory, upcoming scholars and students many at times fail to use…

Chang, Ching-Wen – Journal of Transformative Education, 2021
Transformative learning theory has provided a sound theoretical base for adult education's Western and Eastern academic field. This article aims to introduce the mandala model of transformative learning by transferring Mezirow's theory of perspective transformation onto a mandala map. In the mandala model, the learning agent exercises two…

Sloman, Sabina J.; Goldstone, Robert L.; Gonzalez, Cleotilde – Cognitive Science, 2021
How do people use information from others to solve complex problems? Prior work has addressed this question by placing people in social learning situations where the problems they were asked to solve required varying degrees of exploration. This past work uncovered important interactions between groups' "connectivity" and the problem's…

Otten, Mara; Van den Heuvel-Panhuizen, Marja; Veldhuis, Michiel – International Journal of STEM Education, 2019
This paper reports a systematic literature review of the balance model, an often-used aid to teach linear equations. The purpose of the review was to report "why" such a model is used, "what" types of models are used, and "when" they are used. In total, 34 peer-reviewed journal articles were analyzed, resulting in a…
