The increasing use of complex machine learning models in education has led to concerns about their interpretability, which in turn has spurred interest in developing explainability techniques that are both faithful to the model's inner workings and intelligible to human end-users. In this paper, we describe a novel approach to creating a…

As US college campuses continue to be embroiled in demonstrations and internal conflict over the Israel-Hamas War more than one year after its outbreak, it is worth examining how the conflict initially boiled over into American higher education. To this end, the authors analyzed how university leaders chose to initially communicate with their…

The aim of this study is to obtain an overview of the literature on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods in educational research, to map the literature, to identify existing knowledge and application areas, to reveal the methods used and their purposes of use, and to reveal the thematic structure of the field. This study followed a…

Linguistic ethnographers are invested in empirically studying, rather than presupposing, social problems that are produced in language. Their dialogue with subjects who experience these problems helps explain why fields such as sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology are considered critical. This article critiques the criticality in this…

Data-driven marketing analytics courses are integral to modern business management degrees in universities, yet many graduates focus solely on single, separated data analysis techniques during their learning process, hindering effective integration and practical performance. This study proposes that employing the Fishbowl method, which divides…

Cover, copy, and compare (CCC) is a study strategy in which students cover their notes, attempt to copy them, and then compare for accuracy. We evaluated whether CCC could be used to establish equivalence classes with undergraduate students. A video training package and experimenter feedback were used to teach participants to engage in CCC with…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and performance. Based on the job demands and resources (JD-R) and conservation of resources (COR) theories, a conceptual model is developed showing organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as a mediator and emotional exhaustion as a moderator in influencing…

This paper reports on a study of a graduate-level interdisciplinary problem-based learning (iPBL) course focused on equity in local educational policy. The course combined principles of problem-based learning, project-based learning, and interdisciplinary learning by enabling students to collaborate across disciplines while navigating a complex…

A key challenge in CSCL research is to find ways to support learners in becoming effective collaborators. While the effectiveness of external collaboration scripts is well established, there is a need for research into support that acknowledges learners' autonomy during collaboration. In the present study, we compare an external collaboration…

The aim of this study is to investigate the production and dissemination of mathematical modeling-based projects by gifted students, intended to solve real-life problems, over the four-year Project Production and Management Program (PPMP). The longitudinal research methodology was utilized to examine the project production process among…

Political knowledge questions often are used in social sciences web surveys to study political literacy, identify knowledge gaps and misinformation, examine political polarization, and predict political behavior. However, knowledge questions are subject to bias when respondents look up the correct answers online. Lookup behavior can confound…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in education, but mostly to support individual teaching and learning. However, there are good reasons to think that thinking together and solving problems together, Collective Intelligence (CI), is also a valuable outcome of education. Accordingly, our main research question is: How can AI be…

Algebra is a core aspect of mathematics, often functioning as a gatekeeper to further studies in mathematics. Although a well-researched area, we still do not know how students' algebraic reasoning can vary, including the understanding of the roles of various mathematical arguments. In an explorative study, using semi-structured, non-participant…

Exploratory learning before instruction typically benefits conceptual understanding compared to traditional instruction-first methods. The current study examined whether different exploration prompts impact students' exploration approaches and learning outcomes, using a quasi-experimental design. Undergraduate students (N = 164) in psychological…

This study explores developmental changes in creative thinking and lexical richness (measured through lexical density and diversity) during late childhood and examines how different classroom methodologies may be associated with these changes. Data were collected from 57 students at three time points (between 5th and 6th grades of primary school),…
