Experimental Group

Currently, there is great interest in the correlation between children’s physical activity and their academic performance. In this study, a pre-test/mid-test/post-test experimental strategy was used to avoid any disruption of educational activities, due to the random selection of children in each group. The experimental group was tested for eight months. We developed a methodology for innovative physical education classes and created a model of educational factors that encourage physical activity for children. The experimental group comprised 45 girls and 44 boys aged 6–7 years. The control group included 43 girls and 46 boys aged 6–7. Methods: Mathematical diagnostic progress tests were divided into two sections: tasks were allocated according to performance levels and the content as well as fields of activity and cognitive skills. The assessment of all areas of activity was based on student performance (unsatisfactory, satisfactory, basic, and advanced). Distribution of mathematical learning achievements by curriculum content: mathematical diagnosis was used to evaluate first-grade children’s mathematical knowledge and skills according to the five areas of the mathematics education curriculum: numbers and calculations; phenomena, equations, and inequalities; geometry, measures, and measurements; statistics and communication; and general problem-solving skills. The differences between the pre-test and mid-test results indicated that the number of children performing at a satisfactory level decreased (p = 0.035). The differences between the pre-test and post-test advanced (p = 0.038) and basic (p = 0.018) levels were found to be increased. Applying an innovative physical education program to first graders demonstrated a higher-level mathematics program in the areas of geometry, measures, and measurements; statistics; and communication and general problem-solving skills. Based on the interface between an innovative primary school physical education program and mathematics learning achievements, a research tool was developed that can be used in a quantitative research strategy.

The Turkish education program has a great importance in terms of increasing the quality of education and training process and determining and developing the cognitive skills of students. The explanation of the relationship between the high-level thinking skills of Turkish teachers responsible for teaching the program and the Turkish education program reveals the necessity of the study. Accordingly, this research was created in order to determine the relationship between reflective thinking skills perceptions and problem solving skills perceptions that should be present in Turkish teaching. The sample of the study consists of 106 Turkish teachers who are working in eight districts of Kars Province. In this study, the Reflective Thinking Tendency Scale (YANDE) and Problem Solving Inventory (PSI) were used. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. According to the findings, the relationships between total and sub-dimensions of Turkish teachers’ reflective thinking skills perceptions and their problem-solving skills perceptions were moderate. According to the findings; continuous and purposeful thinking, open-mindedness, questioner and effective teaching, teaching responsibility and scientificity, predictive and sincerity and professional perspective sub-dimensions of reflective thinking scale do not significantly predict any sub-dimension of problem solving. However, it is observed that the ‘researcher sub-dimension of the reflective thinking’ scale significantly predicts problem solving total scores, hasty approach scores, thinking approach scores and avoidant approach scores. The relationship between total and sub-dimensions of reflective thinking skills perceptions of Turkish teachers and total and sub-dimensions of problem solving skills perceptions was found to be at a moderate level. These thinking skills should be considered when planning activities in undergraduate and professional education to develop reflective thinking skills perceptions and problem solving skills perceptions of Turkish teachers.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the education program prepared in accordance with the Common Knowledge Constructing Model on the 5th grade students' problem determination and problem-solving skills in the Science course "Biodiversity". The research sample consisted of 74 fifth grade students studying in a secondary school in Uskudar, Istanbul. In the research, a pre-test-post-test control group pattern, one of the quasi-experimental methods, was used. The study was implemented in the 2018-2019 academic year and 24 of the students were selected as experiment 1, 25 as experiment 2, and 25 as control group. In experiment 1 group, teaching in accordance with CKCM, in the experiment 2 group, teaching in accordance with CKCM was supported with out-of-school learning environments, and in the control group, teaching in accordance with the Science Curriculum. “Problem Identification and Problem-Solving Skills Test (PIPSST)” was used as a pre-test and post-test data collection tool in the experimental and control groups. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the education program with CKCM and out-of-school learning within the CKCM is more effective in increasing students' problem determination and problem-solving skills compared to teaching in accordance with the science lesson curriculum. It can be said that out-of-school education, which is included in the CKCM, increases students' problem determination and problem-solving skills more. In addition, it was concluded that CKCM and out-of-school learning and teaching improved skills such as analysis, synthesis, evaluation and prediction. When the answers given by the students in the experimental and control groups to the PIPSST open-ended problem were examined, it was observed that the physical, persuasion and political action solution suggestions changed in the experimental and control groups. It was determined that the most and different solution suggestions were in the experiment 2 group. This situation shows that the inclusion of out-of-school learning in the CKCM positively affects the physical, political and persuasion actions of the students towards the solution of the problem.

Effective Education

Despite extensive changes in technology and methodology, anecdotal and empirical evidence (e.g., Davis et al., 1997) consistently suggests that communication and problem-solving skills are fundamental to the success of an IT professional. As two of the most valued skills in an IT graduate, they should be essential components of an effective education program, regardless of changes in student population or delivery mechanisms. While most educators would concur with this view, significantly more emphasis is generally placed on teaching the tools and techniques that students will require in their future careers, and a corresponding amount of energy is expended in attempting to identify what those tools and techniques might be. In contrast, successful problem solving is often seen either as an inherent capability that some students already possess or as a skill that some will magically acquire during the course of their studies.

Purpose: Allied health profession students must develop critical thinking and problem solving skills to be able to make clinical decisions. The purpose of this paper is to describe an educational model used in a physical therapist education program to improve students’ confidence in clinical decision-making. Methods: The faculty chose topics for each forum and invited specific clinicians to present actual clinical cases to students in small group settings. The small groups spent 30 minutes focused on each case, and then rotated to a different clinician so each had exposure to three scenarios. After presenting subjective clinical information, the clinicians asked open-ended questions designed to encourage the students to think critically and to problem solve using the Patient/Client Management Model. Assessment of Model:Preliminary assessments were completed using a survey and large group debriefing. Survey responses identified that students perceived the forums as beneficial for improving their confidence with critical thinking and problem solving skills. Students identified the forums as a strength of their educational program in debriefing sessions. Conclusion: An educational forum is a teaching method that places students in a situation where they are required to exercise their clinical reasoning skills. The authors believe this interactive educational method can be adapted to improve students’ confidence in clinical reasoning in any allied health profession education program.
