The rapid advancement of language translation tools and generative artificial intelligence applications has significantly facilitated the production of academic research while simultaneously introducing new challenges to maintaining academic ethics and detecting plagiarism. This study examines how plagiarism rates vary when academic texts are…

Social media platforms have become central spaces for young people to engage with a vast array of digital content, significantly influencing their identities, beliefs, and behaviors. By examining think-aloud and interview data, this study investigated how adolescents conceptualize social media as sources of news, political information, and tools…

This article links the connection between music and leadership, exploring ways to connect musical icons to teaching leadership theory and concepts. The authors utilize the relationship leadership model (RLM) and the leadership identity development (LID) model through case studies of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Taylor Swift. We provide questions to…

Understanding software modelers' difficulties and evaluating their performance is crucial to Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) education. The software modeling process contains fine-grained information about the modelers' analysis and thought processes. However, existing research primarily focuses on identifying obvious issues in the software…

Low target prevalence affects perceptual decisions on both simple and complex stimuli. Without prior knowledge of how often targets may appear, trial-by-trial accuracy feedback modulates the effects of low prevalence partially by providing observers with information about the target base rate. Using simple colored dots, Lyu (PBR 28:1906-1914,…

This activity helps students examine key elements of truth-default theory. Specifically, by participating in a deception detection game, which secretly prompts different teams to be more or less suspicious, students learn that people's tendency to be "truth biased" leads to lower accuracy when judging actual lies and higher accuracy when…

This paper aims to critically reflect on the possibility of developing a distinctive Taiwanese philosophy of education in the global world. The inquiry into the Taiwanese philosophy of education involves a more profound request for Taiwan identity, which is like a sprectre, continuously facing the threat of being eradicated, sometimes emerging and…

Purpose: Children who have late language emergence, or are late talkers (LTs), have substantially lower vocabulary levels than their peers, on average. Notably, differences in how researchers define "who" comprises LTs can lead to inconsistencies across findings. The current study examined how the number of children identified as LTs…

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of three large language models (LLMs), GPT-4o, Llama 3.3 70B and Llama 3.1 8B, in redacting personally identifying information (PII) from forum data in massive open online courses (MOOCs). Design/methodology/approach: Forum posts from students enrolled in nine MOOCs were redacted by three…

Being able to call on students during class increases the likelihood of instructor immediacy. As a result, due to a decrease of distance between students and the instructor which may increase the likelihood of creating an inclusive environment. An inclusive pedagogical strategy that has been shown to be effective in knowing student names is the…

With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), smart education has become an attractive topic. In a smart education system, automated classrooms and examination rooms could help reduce the economic cost of teaching, and thus improve teaching efficiency. However, existing AI algorithms suffer from low surveillance accuracies and high…

Objective: Define microbiological characteristics of pathogens causing lower urinary tract infections (LUTI), frequency of "Chlamydia trachomatis" (CT) or "Neisseria gonorrhea" (GC), and accuracy of self-diagnosis by college women with LUTI symptoms. Participants: Sexually active women with LUTI symptoms attending a large…

"How do witnesses make identification decisions when viewing a lineup?" Understanding the witness decision-making process is essential for researchers to develop methods that can reduce mistaken identifications and improve lineup practices. Yet, the inclusion of fillers has posed a pivotal challenge to this task because the traditional…

Research and policy reports estimate that 10%-40% of U.S. children and adolescents currently have or very recently have had at least one significant mental health condition. Students who exhibit substantial behavior and emotional problems in school often show less severe problems when younger. Screening for less severe problems at younger ages can…

Background: In Japan, school health examinations frequently utilize growth curves. This study aimed to develop and validate a custom-designed program that enables the rapid and accurate detection of growth abnormalities in children and adolescents. Methods: We created a novel screening tool named the Growth Assessment Program for Schools (GAPS),…
