Metacognition has recently been used as an aspect of assessment in the development of learning, given its importance in improving the ability of students to solve problems. Collaborative online learning is a recommended form of learning because it fosters peer interaction. A higher frequency of interaction will improve the process of knowledge…

A subset of mothers who carry the "FMR1" premutation may express a unique phenotype. The relationship between the "FMR1" phenotype and mother-child interaction in families with fragile X-associated disorders has not been well characterized, despite the importance of high-quality mother-child interaction for child development.…

Background: We investigate the nature of planning the canoeing of rapids and its reasoning processes, while at the same time advancing a syncretic approach to cognitive and situative theories of learning. Building upon the work of Lucy Suchman, we examine how canoers plan to run rapids and how plans serve as resources for action. Methods: In…

Our world is in constant flux and educators are at the ship's helm steering toward what former U.S. Representative John Lewis called "good trouble." However, in many cases, educators lack the training required to be most effective in doing so. As instructors face student demands to address topics on race and social justice, many…

The purpose of this article is to explore the interconnectedness between physical literacy, intentionality and the notion of embodied beckoning. We coin the term 'embodied beckoning' to explain our innate transactional relationship and desire as human beings to explore the world through movement, and how the environment also calls us to move. We…

Understanding others' perspectives and integrating this knowledge in social interactions is challenging for young children; even adults struggle with this skill. While young children show the capacity to understand what others can and cannot see under supportive laboratory conditions, more research is necessary to understand how children implement…

Community and connectedness are important concepts in online higher education. However, researchers debate how they are defined, operationalized, or enacted in practice. A scoping study was conducted to review the research literature on the extent, range, and nature of research in community and connectedness in online higher education. A total of…

The formation of hypertext competence emerges from a combination of methods, tools and technologies that provide communication between hypertext network devices with the aim of transmitting information. The information transmitted may be diverse depending on its type and content and is intended to be used collectively through network information…

Background: Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) presents a rather complex challenge that requires understanding beyond biological or clinical perspective. Even though inaccuracies in speech articulation are the common consequences of CL/P, individuals with repaired CL/P are likely to experience other language-associated issues. Studies on social…

Background and aims: Prior work has examined how children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder who are minimally verbal use their spoken language abilities during interactions with others. However, social communication includes other aspects beyond speech. To our knowledge, no studies have examined how minimally verbal children and…

Excessive teacher entitlement results from interactions between and among social, institutional and individual elements. This study retrieves small entitlement stories of two teachers and one school principal from an online elementary teacher community in China. Through burrowing into the narrative data, this study presents how the three…

Effective communication and coordination supported by well-established patterns of interactions are vital to collaborative learning. The quality of social relationships among group members can affect group dynamics and communication, as well as further influence students' learning experiences and perceived learning outcomes. In this study, we…

Student perceptions of faculty-student interactions are well-represented in existing research (Fauria & Zellner, 2015; Hoffman et al., 2002; Reason et al., 2007; Schwartz et al., 2018; Tinto 2000, 2012). However, faculty perceptions of this phenomenon have limited presence in the body of knowledge within scholarly literature (Cox et al., 2010;…

This study evaluated factors that can influence persistence among females in STEM doctoral programs. To identify these factors, a qualitative narrative study was performed through a feminist standpoint lens in which eight individuals with STEM Ph.D.'s who self-identified as female during their doctoral training were interviewed about their program…

This research addressed increasing understanding of how players make meaning during play of a complex STEM game and explores to what extent player mental models of STEM concepts shift as a result of interacting with the game simulation. Game based learning is attracting increased attention and interest as a novel platform for experiential…
