This study examines the impact of instructor-led (IL) versus self-access (SA) web-based pragmatic instruction on novice second language learners' (n = 28) awareness and oral production of Spanish apologies. Two sections of a second-semester Spanish course were assigned to either the IL or the SA group. The web-based resource "Dancing with…

Undergraduate mathematics education is essential for building a foundation for success in various scientific disciplines. Curriculum reforms in mathematics education have emphasized the need for cultivating learning skills that depend on effective student engagement (SE). Consequently, there has been growing research on the mechanisms that…

Learning analytics aims to improve learning and teaching in digital learning environments by optimizing them. Real-time feedback, suggestions, directions, and interventions are structured in the digital learning environments. In order to structure more effective interventions, it is crucial to ascertain which of these services offered to students…

Numerous effective digital learning environments have evolved over the last few years built around video examples that follow an introduction phase and are often supplemented by prompts. The learning mechanisms behind these components remain subject to open questions, though. We thus conducted an online experiment with university students (N =…

Providing mathematics instruction and supporting students with mathematics difficulties, including students with disabilities, at risk for disabilities, or those who struggle with the content, is important and interventions must be designed to occur face-to-face or virtually. Despite limited research on providing mathematical interventions online…

Digitization and the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic are accelerating the use of digital tools in teaching. Therefore, this systematic literature review offers an overview of international studies with a particular focus on classroom disruptions and their causes, as well as on prevention and intervention strategies in digital settings. Selecting out of over…

K-12 students with disabilities in the United States are increasingly enrolling in online schools and educational programs. Therefore, K-12 online public and charter school special education (SpecEd) teachers must be prepared to develop and implement individualized educational plans (IEPs) that meet the procedural and substantive requirements of…

Asynchronous online learning has grown in popularity due to its flexibility in providing higher education access to learners regardless of distance, transportation, and scheduling constraints. However, for successful online learning, students must adapt and intensify the self-regulated learning (SRL) skills they developed in face-to-face settings…

Colombian society has been exposed to decades of sociopolitical violence with apparent effects on its social infrastructure that may inadvertently lead to more structural, cultural, and interpersonal forms of violence. Peacebuilding efforts are required, and education for peace plays a key role. This requires building conflict sensitivity within…

Dialogic classroom discussions where students collaboratively share and reason through complex ideas are critical for achieving ambitious reform goals for student learning. However, K-12 classroom talk is predominantly characterized by monologic, "teacher-centered" discourse patterns that have proven exceedingly resilient to change.…

The Sixth Edition of this comprehensive resource helps future and practicing teachers recognize and assess literacy problems, while providing practical, effective intervention strategies to help every student succeed. DeVries thoroughly explores all major components of literacy, offering an overview of pertinent research, suggested methods and…

This article presents a design-based research (DBR) methodology to develop a teacher professional development intervention that is aimed at helping teachers become designers of student-centred e-learning activities. The intervention was tested at Gulu University (GU) and Maseno University (MU), and a set of activities and tools, as well as six…

Higher education for health care professionals faces numerous challenges. It is important to develop and apply methods supporting education, especially the practical skills. This scoping review aimed to explore the activities and learning outcomes of digital technology in practical skills teaching and learning in higher education for the social…

Learning statistics can be challenging for many students, due to their inability to engage in statistical reasoning and application of techniques. This challenge becomes compounded in online learning contexts where students are spatially and temporally separated from the teacher. This paper describes and explains a case of theory-driven…

This research introduces a culture-inclusive, systematic approach aimed at enhancing computational thinking (CT) skills among urban early childhood educators. The methodology includes pre- and post-intervention surveys, e-learning modules, and professional development workshops. Twelve urban early childhood educators from Baltimore participated in…
