Purpose: As the world is embarking on Industry Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), employers demand more learning and soft skills from graduates to adapt to agile and disruptive work environments. Hence, 21st century learning skills are vital for sustainable career advancement in the current job paradigm shift initiated by IR 4.0-driven technologies. This…

Critical thinking is one of the most desired skills in the workplace, as it assists an individual in solving complex problems and making informed decisions, resulting in their workplace success. Argumentation is one instructional approach that provides students an opportunity to engage in higher-order thinking and improve their communication…

Education 4.0 strongly promotes the development of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity (4C) skills among students. Consequently, it is crucial for mathematics teachers to integrate activities that facilitate the cultivation of these skills. However, the scarcity of resources, such as recommended instructional…

Critical thinking refers to a mode of thinking--about any subject, content, or problem--in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully analyzing, assessing, and reconstructing knowledge. This study evaluates the critical thinking skills of private and public high school students in Kuwait and examines the practices…

Whilst educational goals in recent years for mathematics education are foregrounded the development of mathematical competencies, little is known about mathematics teachers' competencies. In this study, a group of practising teachers were asked to solve an algebra problem, and their solutions were analysed to determine the competencies apparent…

This study aims to enhance teamwork skills among lower secondary school science students through a Learning Activity Package (LAP) using the design thinking process. The research evaluates the experiences of science teachers and students to identify areas for improvement in teamwork skills, which is achieved through interviews and observations in…

Although some studies have incorporated poetry into engineering courses, no studies exist that explore the use of writing poetry about technical topics to develop creative thinking skills in undergraduate engineering education. This study explores engineering students' perceptions of incorporating poetry writing within an upper-level…

The study explored the effect of the activity-based approach (ABA) on grade 11 learners' performance in solving two-dimensional (2D) trigonometric problems. A sequential explanatory design was used, starting with the quantitative, followed by the qualitative method. The experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG) were facilitated using ABA,…

Purpose: Problem-based learning (PBL) promotes student-centered, active learning and has been applied in many health disciplines, including speech-language pathology (SLP). There is some SLP literature outlining how PBL has been applied and its components, however, how PBL is applied across SLP programs worldwide is yet to be explored. We…

The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between learning models "Project-Based Learning" (PjBL) and the local potential of South Tapanuli for positive attitudes and critical thinking skills of students. The research method uses "Systematic Literature Review" (SLR) assisted by Google Scholar and Publish or…

The public's growing interest in epigenetics, particularly its applications in human health, underscores the significance of epigenetic mechanisms in regulating gene activity and promoting phenotypic diversity without altering DNA sequences. Within the framework of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, epigenetics is regarded as a non-genetic…

Visual literacy is essential for engineers. Technological professions have important visual characterization, both in the transmission of information and problem-solving. This means that future engineers must be proficient at communicating, thinking, and learning visually. However, engineering curricula takes partially the need to have visually…

This study explores talent-development trajectories of early-career chemical engineers to identify key components for success in the field using the talent development megamodel as a theoretical framework. Interviews with 12 recent PhD graduates reveal a trajectory across four developmental stages: (a) math ability and science ability, (b)…

Augmented Reality (AR) based learning provides real experiences for educators and new strategies for presenting physics concepts but also provides opportunities for students to interact interactively, spontaneously, and interestingly. Previous research has shown that AR has many advantages in education, but only a few focus on Independent…

The authors illustrate how using design thinking allows learners to empathize with the perspectives of others, engage in collaborative problem-solving, practice communicating effectively, and respond to struggle or failure throughout the process.
