What is missing in most curricula - from elementary school all the way through to university education - is coursework focused on the development of problem-solving skills. Most students never learn how to think about solving problems. Besides being a lot of fun, a puzzle-based learning approach also does a remarkable job of convincing students that (a) science is useful and interesting, (b) the basic courses they take are relevant, (c) mathematics is not that scary (no need to hate it!), and (d) it is worthwhile to stay in school, get a degree, and move into the real world which is loaded with interesting problems (problems perceived as real-world puzzles).

Taking a future-oriented approach, this book addresses students’ ways of thinking in STEM-based problem solving. It provides a rich set of chapters that explore how we can advance important thinking skills in STEM education for K-12 students. STEM education is essential to understanding and solving many of the world’s major challenges. However, the kind of interdisciplinary modes of thinking required to tackle such unforeseen problems is lacking in most STEM education delivery. This book examines the various ways of thinking that can be applied to effective STEM-based problem solving across K-12 education. These include design and design-based thinking, systems thinking and modeling, critical thinking, innovative and adaptive thinking, intuition in problem solving, and computational and algorithmic thinking. Across the chapters, the authors’ interdisciplinary perspectives give further depth to understanding how students learn and apply their thinking to solve STEM-based problems. The book also provides guidance on how to assess ways of thinking in STEM education, to ensure educators can recognize students’ progress and development. Bringing together a team of international experts, this book is essential reading for pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and researchers in STEM education.

This book is a collection of selected research papers presented at the 2023 4th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education Technology (AIET 2023), held in Berlin, Germany, on June 30 - July 2, 2023. AIET establishes a platform for AI in education researchers to present research, exchange innovative ideas, propose new models, as well as demonstrate advanced methodologies and novel systems. It is a timely and up-to-date publication responsive to the rapid development of AI technologies, practices and their increasingly complex interplay with the education domain. It promotes the cross-fertilisation of knowledge and ideas from researchers in various fields to construct the interdisciplinary research area of AI in Education. These subject areas include computer science, cognitive science, education, learning sciences, educational technology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and linguistics. The feature of this book will contribute from diverse perspectives to form a dynamic picture of AI in Education. It also includes various domain-specific areas for which AI and other education technology systems have been designed or used in an attempt to address challenges and transform educational practice. This timely publication is in line with UNESCO’s Beijing Consensus on Artificial Intelligence and Education. It is committed to exploring how AI may play a role in bringing more innovative practices, transforming education, and triggering an exponential leap towards the achievement of the Education 2030 Agenda. Providing broad coverage of recent technology-driven advances and addressing a number of learning-centric themes, the book is an informative and useful resource for researchers, practitioners, education leaders and policy-makers who are involved or interested in AI and education.

Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Education in Muslim Society (ICEMS) contain papers from researchers, academicians, teachers, school principals, government agencies, and consultants in various fields of education, social sciences, humanities, Arabic and English linguistics. There were 110 full papers submitted and after reviewed by at least two reviewers, 39 of them are successfully published in the proceedings. The articles were submitted and presented at the 5th ICEMS held by Faculty of Educational Sciences (FITK) supported by Center for Research and Community Service (LP2M) UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. The 5th ICEMS centers on the issue of creativity and innovation in teaching and learning, a crucial issue to be discussed to improve the teaching and learning quality which in turn ultimately raise the overall education quality. In the future, the subsequent proceeding would be able to consistently grow into one prestigious annual proceeding by publishing papers from varied different fields of study, particularly in education.

This book provides students and practising teachers with a solid, research-based framework for understanding creative problem solving and its related pedagogy. Practical and accessible, it equips readers with the knowledge and skills to approach their own solutions to the creative problem of teaching for creative problem solving. First providing a firm grounding in the history of problem solving, the nature of a problem, and the history of creativity and its conceptualisation, the book then critically examines current educational practices, such as creativity and problem solving models and common classroom teaching strategies. This is followed by a detailed analysis of key pedagogical ideas important for creative problem solving: creativity and cognition, creative problem solving environments, and self regulated learning. Finally, the ideas debated and developed are drawn together to form a solid foundation for teaching for creative problem solving, and presented in a model called Middle C. Middle C is an evidence-based model of pedagogy for creative problem solving. It comprises 14 elements, each of which is necessary for quality teaching that will provide students with the knowledge, skills, structures and support to express their creative potential. As well as emphasis on the importance of self regulated learning, a new interpretation of Pólya's heuristic is presented.
