The goal of this track is to provide a platform for researchers and educators to present their research on how technology can be used to develop and assess learners’ pan-domain thinking skills, which are cognitive processes that human beings apply for sense-making and problem-solving. Thinking skills have been identified and characterized in a variety of ways, such as, 21st Century skills, ABET student learning outcomes, science process skills, and computational thinking skills, to name a few. Regardless of the discipline, development of thinking skills has been shown to be crucial for students’ success in the 21st century workplace. Examples of such skills include critical thinking, engineering design, problem formulation and solving, creation and revision of scientific models, decision making, experimentation skills, data analysis and so on.
We welcome a variety of topics and research issues related to the design, development and evaluation of technology enhanced learning of thinking skills. Topics include::
Learning environments for development of thinking skills
