Recently, computational thinking (CT) has gained importance in education systems worldwide, specifically the CT training of pre-service teachers. This study conducted a systematic literature analysis (2011-2021) of 38 works on pre-service teachers' CT based on Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. The results were as…

Descriptions of expertise have focused on knowledge and characteristics of mathematics teacher educator (MTE) practice. To contribute to discussion of MTE expertise we share findings from a study of MTE discussion practice with prospective teachers (PTs) concerning pedagogy of teaching mathematics. Research on MTE discussion practices have shown…

Many articles have been published in gifted education in recent years. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the evolution of academic studies in gifted education. In this context, the structural topic modeling (STM) method was used to analyze the topics and trends in the field. STM is a machine learning technique that utilizes…

Since its arrival in late 2022, ChatGPT has occupied the minds of academics, administrators and students. Reactions to the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) have varied but significant anxieties about their impact on assessment have arisen. To address these concerns, this article serves three purposes; firstly, it seeks to gauge the…

Covariational reasoning, essential for understanding functions and modeling dynamic situations, is traditionally introduced in secondary education. This paper proposes introducing covariational reasoning in primary school settings through an artifact, the Tracer. Previous studies investigate a covariational approach to functions with younger…

A central aspect of reform-minded mathematical teaching is training and developing teachers' ability to notice vital aspects in the classroom and more specifically, students' mathematical thinking. As there is an abundance of evidence and research that support the benefits for teachers to elicit and use students' ideas and thinking during…

Games play a very important role in promoting incidental learning and help in exploring both the conscious and subconscious processes such as insight of a learner. Digital Game-Based Learning and assessments are now an integral part of educational practices. When designed effectively digital games can take the learners from the stage of…

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…

The purpose of the study was to explore the effect of the Montessori Method integrated with cooperative learning on mathematical reasoning skills in the preschool period. In this study, an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was used. The study group included a total of 30 children, 15 of whom were in the experimental group…

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of case-based learning compared to traditional lecture in increasing critical thinking skills in an undergraduate Anatomy & Physiology I classroom. Throughout the course of one semester, five units were taught with the addition of a case study as an…

Mathematics learning in higher education today focuses on the need to enhance students' diverse creativity through learning process. To address this challenge, this study introduces the Differentiated Instruction based on Lateral Thinking Techniques (D-LTT) framework. It provides an overview of D-LTT, demonstrates its application in a numerical…

Computational Thinking (CT) has become popular in recent years and has been recognized as an essential skill for everyone in the digital age. CT literature, however, is at an early stage of development, and there is no consensus among researchers/scholars in the field. To date, many have been unable to concretely explain what CT is, or how to…

Assessing cases of child welfare requires the ability to engage with different sources of information systematically. This study examined how case-based learning (CBL) can be used to support social work students (N = 104) acquire knowledge crucial to assessing cases of child welfare and whether benefits of CBL could be maximized by structuring the…

Computational thinking (CT) has received growing interest as a research subject in the last decade, with research contributions attempting to capitalize on the benefits that CT may provide. This study included a systematic analysis aimed at revealing current trends in the CT subject, identifying educational interventions, and emerging assessment…

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Code of Ethics (2023) requires all practitioners to uphold the welfare of others without discrimination. Graduate programs in communication sciences and disorders, therefore, must guide future clinicians to apply theoretical knowledge to clinical practice equitably and inclusively. This…
