Currently critical thinking skills is becoming an important education issue to overcome the challanges of industrial revolution 4.0. Previous studies reported that the pre-service teachers' critical thinking dispositions and skills were still low, therefore, both aspects of critical thinking should be improved through learning activities in higher education. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the online critical thinking cycle learning model to improve pre-service science teachers' critical thinking disposition and critical thinking skills. This study used pre-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The online critical thinking cycle learning model was implemented in two classes without a control group. A total of 58 preservice science teachers from two different universities participated in this study. Each pre-service teacher's critical thinking dispositions and skills were measured using the critical thinking disposition inventory and critical thinking skills test. The results showed that the pre-service science teachers' critical thinking disposition and critical thinking skills increased after the implementation of the online critical thinking cycle learning model with a g score of 0.697 and 0.712, respectively. There was no significant difference in the pretest and post-test scores, and there was a consistent increase in g score between the two classes studied. Thus, the online critical thinking cycle learning model is effective and consistent to improve pre-service science teachers' critical thinking dispositions and skills.

Over the last two decades, a remarkable number of studies have examined the role of engineering education in supporting knowledge and skill building among children. In this paper, we present a synthesis of this literature to evaluate the added value of pre-college engineering design experiences at the elementary level, and ways researchers have gathered evidence of children's development of this knowledge and skills. We have conducted a systematic literature review. The initial search across four different databases with relevant keywords resulted in over 3000 journal articles and conference papers. In a two-rounds screening, by applying the inclusion criteria first to titles and abstracts, and then to the full text, 78 peer-reviewed publications were included in this systematic literature review. We summarized and synthesized empirical evidence of student learning and engagement in engineering design activities, and approaches they were assessed and elicited. The thematic analysis revealed five categories of knowledge and skills: (1) disciplinary content knowledge; (2) engineering design practices, (3) engineering thinking skills; (4) professional skills; and (5) career awareness. Additionally, the assessment and evaluation approaches that were used for each of these categories were identified and discussed. The findings provide collective evidence of variety in student learning opportunities but also suggest the need to carefully define these knowledge and skills. Since a wide range of evaluation approaches were used to capture similar outcomes, we conclude that it is imperative to develop a shared research agenda by carefully defining the knowledge and skills we expect children to learn.

This paper presents a case study conducted by two universities seeking to explore Open Education Resources (OER) in their precalculus course. Students not only gained access to their textbook for free on the first day of class, but also Lumen OHM, an online mathematics assessment platform. The majority of students involved in the study were satisfied with the textbook, characterizing it as useful, accessible, and affordable, and agreeing that they would be very likely to register for a future course with an online text like that used in the course. This study also found that when comparing OER to non-OER settings using the final exam scores, for the most part, there was no significant difference observed in the learning outcomes. Based on these findings, the researchers believe that there is no need to continue teaching with costly physical textbooks when students can achieve the same academic level results with OER.

In terms of ethics, the study deals with the hidden curriculum in terms of teaching programs. The aim of the study is to reveal the context in which the practices related to the teaching of values in the curriculum put into practice are handled. The phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. Five different focus group interviews were conducted with forty-one participating teachers from various disciplines working in secondary education institutions in order to reveal the teachers' understanding of the treatment of concepts related to ethical values in their curriculum. Semistructured interview form was used in the interviews. The characteristics of the environment in which the individual performs his / her behaviors and how these characteristics affect his / her behavior have been examined with a holistic approach and the results of the research have been interpreted within the scope of this approach. These themes are divided into 29 categories and shown within a model. The most obvious ethical values that the school should be built on are justice and events that can be designed in accordance with the school ethical values, and the appropriate categorical are the activities for their views with their teachers and the appropriate resource categories are their behavior at school and in class, curriculum and times, teacher as a role model, social structure, environmental Impact as a social structure. Ensuring that the legal difficulties in front of teachers to use different course materials and contents in lesson activities are overcome will support the functioning of the hidden curriculum and pave the way for new and different learning.
