Research Results


  1. The developed teaching model for enhancing systematic thinking skills for Students consists of four components: 1) Introduction to the teaching model, 2) A six-step process for organizing learning activities: Step 1 - Presenting the situation, Step 2 - Developing thinking strategies, Step 3 - Analyzing the problem, Step 4 - Engaging in discussions and exchanges, Step 5 - Learning from group work, Step 6 - Concluding the findings, 3) Implementation of the teaching model, and 4) Evaluation of the outcomes from using the model.
