Background: Understanding algorithms is crucial for programming education, yet their abstract nature often challenges students. Algorithm visualisation (AV) has been proven effective in enhancing algorithmic thinking among university students. However, its efficacy for elementary school students and the optimal forms of AV tools remain unclear.…

In the 21st century, virtual reality technology has developed rapidly, and many researchers are full of enthusiasm for this technology. More and more researchers are devoted to the field of scientific research and attach importance to virtual reality research. Development and application is a hot topic in today's world. Virtual reality has been…

Focusing efficiently on potential weaknesses in the validity argument of writing assessments--such as writing subjectivity, content coverage, criteria vagueness, and raters' incompetence--has been shown to positively enhance teachers' overall writing assessment competence (AC). In this study, we propose a computational bootstrapping model of…

This study provides a thorough bibliometric analysis of the research landscape concerning the application of soft computing in higher education. This study collects 5,140 pieces including books, book chapters, journal articles published in respected journals, and conference papers presented at notable international conferences that were published…

Much research has applied automated writing evaluation (AWE) systems to English writing instruction; however, understanding how students internalize and apply this feedback to reduce writing errors is difficult, largely due to the personal and private nature of this process. Therefore, this research utilized eye-tracking technology to explore the…

The effectiveness of generative AI tools in education depends largely on prompt engineering--the practice of designing inputs and interactions that guide AI systems to produce relevant, high-quality outputs. This systematic literature review examines empirical studies published since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, identifying two broad…

At present, the traditional education quality evaluation system has some problems, such as insufficient data processing ability and poor real-time performance, which is difficult to meet the needs of teaching quality improvement in rapidly developing higher vocational colleges. In order to solve such problems, this paper designs an intelligent…

As the U.S. government enforces a ban on TikTok, many users are seeking alternative platforms, creating unprecedented opportunities for Chinese social media applications, particularly platforms like Xiaohongshu (RedNote).
