In 2 experiments, students who lacked prior knowledge about car mechanics read a passage about vehicle braking systems that either contained labeled illustrations of the systems, illustrations without labels, labels without illustrations, or no labeled illustrations. Students who received passages that contained labeled illustrations of braking systems recalled more explanative than nonexplanat...

A mixed-method exploratory approach was employed to examine the relationship between epistemological beliefs and quality of thinking when participants first thought about an ill-structured problem alone, and then with another person in a dyad. The results showed that there was not a systematic connection between epistemological beliefs and ill-structured problem solving in either solo or paired...

The value of systems thinking in public policy is increasingly recognised. However, the extent its use decision- and policy-making within government civil service remains unclear. This review aims to investigate state application policy. We conducted a systematic search identify papers published up June 2022 from various scientific databases. also searched grey literature. Publications eligible...

Abstract Computational thinking (CT) has acquired the status of a necessary 21st-century skill and is currently being introduced in school curricula around world, despite lack consensus about what it entails. The aims this review are to provide an overview existing literature on CT activities primary mathematics education, articulate how integrated into teaching learning mathematics. This syste...

Efforts to enhance understanding Computational thinking (CT) are curtailed by: (i) problem solving complexity linked implementing a new subject; and (ii) teaching CT for is field. Unfortunately, the only support available pedagogic theories anecdotal explaining other’s practice. Implementing these can be challenging, hence continuous research on realistic methods of sharing successful commendab...

Towards developing a theory of systematic biases about strategies, I analyze strategic implications of a particular bias: wishful thinking about the strategies. Considering canonical state spaces for strategic uncertainty, I identify a player as a wishful thinker at a state if she hopes to enjoy the highest payoff that is consistent with her information about the others’ strategies at that stat...

BACKGROUND Scientific framework is important in designing curricula and evaluating students in the field of education and clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of non-traditional educational methods on critical thinking skills. METHODS A systematic review approach was applied. Studies published in peer-reviewed journals from January 2001 to December 201...
