Mills, Kelly; Coenraad, Merijke; Ruiz, Pati; Burke, Quinn; Weisgrau, Josh – Digital Promise, 2021
Technology is becoming more integral across professional fields and within our daily lives, especially since the onset of the pandemic. As such, opportunities to learn computational thinking are important to all students--not only the ones who will eventually study computer science or enter the information technology industry. However, large…

van den Kieboom, Leigh A.; Magiera, Marta T. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2012
Reasoning and sense making are at the heart of mathematics teaching and learning throughout the K-12 mathematics curriculum. Focusing on these skills gives students the opportunity to analyze, interpret, and critically think about the mathematics they learn. The terms "reasoning" and "sense making" are frequently used to describe the wide range of…

Adeyemi, Sunday Bankole – European Journal of Educational Research, 2012
This paper is conceptualized to examine ways by which higher education in our own country (Nigeria) could be re-organized in such a manner that critical thinking skills could be imbued in the young learners, in order to make them problem solvers, thereby become assets rather than liabilities to the Nigerian society. In specific terms, the paper…
