This article builds on previous research on diversity statements, adding insights to the resource sharing among educational developers who provide guidance in crafting such statements. In response to the existing knowledge gap about what transpires after submitting diversity statements to hiring committees, we conducted a survey involving 299…

Pragmatic identity has received much attention in pragmatic studies. However, few studies have examined teacher's pragmatic identity construction in the "shuoke" context. "Shuoke" is a teaching activity in which a teacher explains the teaching design and process to colleagues or experts for feedbacks. To address this research…

Current approaches to assessing digital competence in education may be too broad to support teachers in developing their online learning designs in specific subjects. During the pandemic, studies have identified that the development of teaching practices (and subsequently their learning designs) has taken a leap. However, because digital cultures…

The integration of web-based discussion tools in education has expanded rapidly, yet their pedagogical use remains largely unstructured, often resulting in fragmented discussions and limited learners' engagement. This gap reflects the absence of empirically grounded instructional models that align digital discourse with principles of collaborative…

Although mobile technologies are commonly used to support language learning, there is a lack of research to comprehensively determine the acceptance, readiness, affordances, and challenges in this area. To address this gap, this systematic literature review selected 49 articles indexed in the Scopus database between 2013 and 2022. This study found…

When thinking of early childhood STEM, images of active, play-based design challenges, experiences with robotics/coding, or hands-on experiences with open-ended materials (e.g., balls, ramps, loose parts) often come to mind. While these are certainly images that align with developmentally appropriate early childhood STEM practices, some of the…

This study explores the application of the task-based teaching method in English education, particularly from the perspective of big data. Traditional English teaching models often fail to meet the diverse needs of students, with the task-based approach, despite being student-centered, encountering challenges such as task difficulty control and…

This study examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools with Nation's Four Strands Framework in the design of pre-class learning modules for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) flipped classrooms. Focusing on conversational skills development--a domain requiring balanced attention to meaning-focused input/output, language-focused…

This book explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping higher education through practical, real-world strategies and grounded research. It begins with accessible introductions to key concepts--such as generative AI, machine learning, and natural language processing--before progressing to theoretical frameworks and empirical studies of…

"Teaching Literature with Artificial Intelligence" explores the use of chatbots as participants in the teaching and learning of literature in high school and college classrooms while highlighting potentially outmoded norms and expectations of ELA instruction. Artificial intelligence programs have profoundly altered the daily realities of…

The present study investigates the interplay between EFL teacher-student interactions, AI-powered classroom integration, learners' emotional health, and depression in Chinese English majors. A total of 529 students participated voluntarily, completing four validated instruments: the AI-Enhanced Learning Environment Assessments Questionnaire, the…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop representations for teacher coaching sessions that are (1) useful for communicating the session to other coaches or researchers and (2) capture the roles of the coach as convener of dialogue for teacher development as well as facilitator of design for learning. Design/methodology/approach: Two…

The overarching goal of this research project is to develop a set of theoretical and empirical based design principles to support student engagement in flipped mathematics learning. We used a design-based research approach in which a series of studies was conducted in a secondary school. First, an analysis of practical problems was performed via…

Since the Texas Legislature has mandated, via the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, to provide best practices for using technology for developmental education, we report on a solution used at College of the Mainland (Texas City, Texas) for satisfying that mandate. The solution was to use a common 'master' template in a learning management…

In the fairy tale "Goldilocks," a young girl enters the home of three bears. As she explores the porridge, chairs, and beds, in each situation she is seeking what is "just right." It seems that Goldilocks is the perfect metaphor for describing learners experiencing universal design for learning (UDL) because it highlights the…
