In this article, we address the collaborative relationships among university teachers participating in a lesson study. Specifically, we examine teachers' changes in response to conflicts that arise during this professional development process. Data were collected through audio and video recordings and interviews during a lesson study conducted…

As AI technologies become increasingly integrated into education, this research investigates how students react to AI-generated versus human feedback in teamwork skills assessment. In Study 1, 108 students completed a virtual teamwork simulation and received assessment feedback framed as either AI- or human-generated. Students showed a clear…

In accordance with RCW 28A.655.075, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) continues to support districts in implementing educational technology assessments. Since 2011, OSPI has provided optional classroom-based assessments aligned with Washington's K-12 Learning Standards. Districts choosing to use these assessments report…

Background/Context: Reading achievement declined drastically during the COVID-19 pandemic (Bailey et al., 2021). More than one-third of fourth-grade students cannot read at a basic level, and access to effective literacy instruction is particularly limited for minority students and students with learning disabilities (Ellis et al., 2023). Closing…

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to explore the perceived concept of "going gradeless" among education master's students and academics within a Hong Kong university. This study aims to explore differing perspectives on "going gradeless" and identify the key potential issues associated with its implementation in higher…

Purpose: This paper highlights the transformative impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on education, focusing on their potential to revolutionize teaching methods. It also explores the global trend of integrating technology-based learning into educational curricula. Design/methodology/approach: A comprehensive literature…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is catalyzing a paradigm shift in higher education, demanding new pedagogical approaches that integrate AI literacy as a core competency. This paper addresses the long-standing challenge of teaching acoustics, a field often perceived as abstract and mathematically intensive by undergraduate students. We…

Amid Vietnam's ongoing curriculum reforms and digital transformation, our study explores key factors influencing the implementation of blended learning among secondary school teachers, particularly in elective subjects. Using a large-scale mixed-methods design, we surveyed 1,834 teachers and conducted focus groups with 40 participants from diverse…

Emerging technologies and innovative instructional methods have revolutionized education, making blended learning the new standard in the artificial intelligence era. However, poor integration of online and face-to-face learning has led to challenges such as superficial student engagement. This study developed a Community of Inquiry-based blended…

Professionalism in opera singing depends on the quality of education. This study examines the teaching of opera singing online via master classes and seminars. Based on the present findings, master classes are effective in improving the voice technically and range-wise, whereas seminars are effective in helping opera singers achieve emotionality.…

At the international level, philosophical questions are increasingly used to develop students' critical thinking, particularly in elementary school. Yet, despite this growing interest, their implementation in the classroom remains complex and raises several challenges for teachers. This article aims to support teaching practices by identifying the…

Current reforms in science education envision students making sense of real-world phenomena in ways that leverage their ideas, experiences, and identities. Formative assessment is essential to this vision; however, we are still coming to understand how formative assessment design and enactment in classroom activity systems can support this vision.…

This study investigates how different combinations of practice-based activities and visual representations affect students' learning about seasonal changes. We adopted a pre-post 3 × 2 experimental design in which we first randomly assigned 12 intact 9th-grade classes (N = 337 students) to either a "practice-based activity" or a "no…

Researchers have documented the efficacy of the virtual-representational-abstract (VRA) instructional sequence to support students with disabilities as well as those at-risk in mathematics as well as feasibility of online delivery of mathematics interventions. However, most of the existing research involves secondary students and…

This reflection offers a student perspective on integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI) in graduate education, focusing on collaboration rather than replacement. Drawing on my experience in a doctoral seminar on the intellectual history of educational technology, I examine four key instructional practices that shaped meaningful AI use:…
