Teaching strategies used by teachers have a direct impact on how well their students learn high-order thinking skills. The purpose of this study was to summarise prior research on the application of higher-order thinking skills from the perspective of a teacher in Islamic education. The PRISMA guidelines were used to search for the relevant…

Huiyan Ye; Biyao Liang; Oi-Lam Ng – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Empirical studies have revealed students' development of computational thinking (CT) and mathematical thinking (MT) during programming-based mathematical problem-solving, highlighting specific CT concepts or practices that serve as learning goals or outcomes. However, implementing programming-based mathematics instruction requires…

Elliott Seif; Bena Kallick; Arthur L. Costa – Phi Delta Kappan, 2025
Seven "habits of mind" -- ways of thinking -- create strong school cultures that invite new and veteran teachers into professional conversations to improve teaching. These habits are: remaining open to continuous learning; thinking about thinking; figuring things out; communicating; creating, imagining, and innovating; taking responsible…

Bressler, Denise M.; Annetta, Leonard A. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
Society needs creative problem solvers to work towards solutions of complex global issues such as climate change. Design thinking is a way to solve problems creatively. Unfortunately, in-service teachers are largely unfamiliar with design thinking and their students rarely engage in design thinking during class. To familiarize teachers with design…

Kite, Vance; Park, Soonhye – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Recognizing that the power of computation has changed the practice of science, science education standards in a number of countries have included a call for the inclusion of computational thinking (CT) in K-12 science education. As CT is a relatively new construct, preparing inservice science teachers to implement CT-infused learning experiences…

Deepti Tagare – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Background and Objective: Teacher assessment research suggests that teachers have good conceptual understanding of CT. However, to model CT-based problem-solving in their classrooms, teachers need to develop the ability to recognize when and how to apply CT skills. Does existing professional development (PD) equip teachers to know when and how to…

The purpose of this mixed-method study is to investigate and compare students' problem-solving and higher order thinking skills. This study involves two contexts: a traditional teaching program and a Lesson Study program. In qualitative phase, seven mathematics lecturers, a physics lecturer and the researcher forms the Lesson Study group and they…

Amos Oyelere Sunday; Friday Joseph Agbo; Jarkko Suhonen – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2025
The recent popularity of computational thinking (CT) and the desire to apply CT in our daily lives have prompted the need for a successful pedagogical technique for learning CT in K-12 education. The application of co-design pedagogical techniques has the potential to improve students' CT learning through knowledge sharing and the creation of…

Lamberg, Teruni; Grewall, Tejvir; Goyer, Alysia; Gil, Sierra – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
Proportional reasoning problems can be solved using algebraic reasoning. Therefore, making connections between proportional reasoning and algebraic thinking is important for solving problems. This study examined K-8 teachers' problem-solving strategies as they worked out a real world multi-step problem that involved proportional reasoning and…
