Students explored using generative AI to create relational messages as well as audience reactions to both human-created and AI-created notes of encouragement. The activity helped students understand the practical, relational, and ethical implications of incorporating AI into communication tasks. By the end of the activity, students could discern…

This study adopted a framework based on social cognitive theory to explore the influence of thinking styles on critical thinking and multiple mediation effects of student assessors' assessment performance (scoring and review comments) between them. Samples were 97 graduate students enrolled in the "Seminar" course at a university.…

The aim of the article is to present ways of resolving the situations related to cyberbullying and cyberaggression that occur in Polish schools. The research fills a gap (taboo subject) in the means of solving crisis situations related to attacks on teachers that occur online. The qualitative research (online interviews) conducted in Poland at the…

Previous research has demonstrated shyness plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of smartphone addiction. The present study aimed to examine the mediating roles of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and experiential avoidance as well as the moderating role of online social support in the relation between shyness…

Bullying victimization is a very common, complex, and potentially damaging form of violence among children and adolescents. Bullying is defined as unwanted, aggressive behavior, which involves a real or perceived social power imbalance. One in 10 public schools reports at least one case of serious violent crime, such as aggressive bullying,…

This study investigated the relative effectiveness of immediate and delayed corrective feedback on the acquisition of -ing/-ed participial adjectives by Spanish English-as-a-foreign-language learners in video-based computer-mediated communication. Fifty-two participants took part in a communicative task in one of four groups (two experimental and…

A knowledge gap exists regarding the faculty's dynamic selection and modification of emotion regulation strategies to reduce negative emotions in synchronous teaching. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with 16 teachers at higher education institutions in China, focusing on their handling of the negative emotions that arose from poor…

Purpose: This research aims to explore digital feedback needs/preferences in online education during lockdown and the implications for post-pandemic education.
