By virtue of their innate curiosity and the fact that they are often surrounded by novel experiences, children commonly experience awe, which can prompt them to consider their understanding of the world and their place in it. Nature can be one of these awe-eliciting wonders of life. Maria Montessori understood this well, especially when it came to…

Background: Interest in the potential of learning from errors to benefit innovation and organizational and personal growth is currently increasing. In practice, individuals frequently do not appear to learn spontaneously from errors and setbacks without support. Based on prior work, this paper considers antecedents and consequences of adaptive…

Peer feedback is widely applied to support peer learning and accumulating studies pointed out that feedback features directly impact its learning benefits. However, existing peer feedback studies provide limited insights into group-level peer feedback activities in authentic classrooms. This study conducted group-level peer feedback activity in…

Purpose: Early language intervention is essential for children with indicators of language delay. Enhanced milieu teaching (EMT) is a naturalistic intervention that supports the language development of children with emerging language. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of all qualifying single-case and group design studies that…

Human ratings are ubiquitous in creativity research. Yet, the process of rating responses to creativity tasks -- typically several hundred or thousands of responses, per rater -- is often time-consuming and expensive. Planned missing data designs, where raters only rate a subset of the total number of responses, have been recently proposed as one…

Research on writing pedagogy highlights effective feedback as dialogic and student-centered. However, few studies have examined how preservice English teachers (PSETs) craft their feedback based on how they want their students to read them. Drawing on sociocultural approaches to writing, we examine the co-construction of these "discoursal…

Background: Feedback as one of the most influential factors for learning has been subject to a great body of research. It plays a key role in the development of educational technology systems and is traditionally rooted in deterministic feedback defined by experts and their experience. However, with the rise of generative AI and especially large…

Effective educational measurement relies heavily on the curation of well-designed item pools. However, item calibration is time consuming and costly, requiring a sufficient number of respondents to estimate the psychometric properties of items. In this study, we explore the potential of six different large language models (LLMs; GPT-3.5, GPT-4,…

This article contributes to the emerging literature about ungrading within Higher Education across disciplines in the anglosphere. The piece offers a critical take on the apparent originality of ungrading practices. Such practices appear on a spectrum, from minor adjustments to summative grades by alternating the numerical with the alphabetized…

The recommendations outlined in this article focus on research-based approaches to (a) establishing a healthy teacher-paraeducator relationship and (b) planning for and providing feedback on behavior intervention plans (BIP) implementation, both of which have been found to support teacher-paraeducator collaboration and implementation of effective…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify and investigate which factors affect coaching in higher education. Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a qualitative meta-synthesis method. Based on the seven-step method (Sandelowski and Barroso, 2006), articles related to coaching in higher education were searched in five databases…

Purpose: This study investigated the influence of teachers on undergraduate students' development of research aspirations and the mechanisms behind this process. Design/methodology/approach: Employing social cognitive career theory, the study gathered data from 232 undergraduates, developed a structural equation model via the maximum likelihood…

Setting practice goals, which helps students regulate their effort toward achieving engagement and mastery, can enhance the benefits of active learning. However, traditional goal-setting approaches, such as homework contingency contracts, often lack frequent feedback and require substantial human intervention. The presented research investigates…

Parent emotion socialization (ES), the process through which caregivers influence the development and expression of emotions in children, needs to be interpreted within a sociocultural context. ES literature in Eastern cultures is emerging; existing research has almost exclusively focused on school-age children and adolescents, and has generally…

Automated writing evaluation (AWE) provides an instant and cost-effective alternative to human feedback in assessing student writing, and therefore is widely used as a pedagogical supportive tool in writing instruction. However, studies on how students perceive the usage of AWE as a surrogate writing tutor in out-of-class autonomous learning are…
