This investigation sought to discern the impacts of different electronic note-taking strategies--collaborative, individual, and a hybrid of both--on the academic writing skills of Chinese EFL graduate students. The study engaged 185 participants, systematically assigned to one of four groups: those practicing collaborative electronic note-taking,…

We used a single case concurrent multiple probe across participants design to evaluate the effects of a multi-component intervention package on the number of correct sentences used when writing about a story for three rural elementary students with intellectual or developmental disabilities and extensive support needs. The package was comprised of…

During young adolescence, many youth develop strong identities in relation to science, technology, engineering and mathematics with computing (STEM + C). One way to design for student engagement in STEM + C is to create project-based units that leverage students' interests. We created one such unit, called the "smart greenhouse project".…

Background: Despite the recognised potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in education, the role of VR in enhancing presentation skills remains uncertain. Mixed findings, coupled with low adoption rates in educational settings, highlight the need to investigate how current VR applications are designed to facilitate effective learning outcomes for…

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of digital-based learning media innovation in improving students' motivation and learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects at elementary school level. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study method on fifth grade students at an elementary school in Indonesia.…

Recent research on more comprehensive models of student learning in adaptive math learning software used an indicator of student reading ability to predict students' tendencies to engage in behaviors associated with so-called "gaming the system." Using data from Carnegie Learning's MATHia adaptive learning software, we replicate the…

This study investigates user experience (UX) priorities in early childhood education applications by analyzing Korean-language user reviews using Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers topic modeling (BERTopic). Eighteen latent topics were extracted and systematically mapped to the eight software quality characteristics defined by…

Participation in citizen science enables students to gain authentic research experience through collaboration with expert scientists. The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate how the interactions between expert scientists and student citizen scientists were mediated through the collaborative investigation and co-creation of…

Chatbots with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, such as ChatGPT, are an important tool for language learning because they provide an interactive and adaptive learning environment that can be adjusted to each learner's level of skill. This paper explores the application of ChatGPT, an advanced AI-powered chatbot, as a tool for language…

Background/purpose: This study addresses challenges in graduate research supervision by developing and evaluating an AI chatbot research coaching system designed through Design Thinking and Educational Design Research. The research aimed to examine system usability, perceived value, and alignment between user experiences and original design…

Multimodality is an important component of the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. Among its myriad elements, one that has not been addressed in recent research is the importance of engaging in the creation of multimodal texts in EFL classes. This study investigates how adding lessons focused on the creation of multimodal texts in EFL…

Background: Vocal music is a multifaceted subject, as students not only need to master skills but also to appreciate and critically interpret the singing process. Conventional vocal music learning methods emphasise practice and feedback, but deeper learning often stems from reflective assessment, especially when students adopt the perspective of…

Within the changing perspective of artificial intelligence (AI) teaching, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students normally face an extensive range of educational challenges and difficulties, which can put their well-being at risk. Therefore, taking into account the elements that affect EFL students' well-being is crucial. Teachers' support…

The success of efforts to integrate generative AI (GenAI) into classrooms depends heavily on teachers' willingness to integrate the relevant technologies. However, few studies have examined the effect of perceived psychological needs satisfaction on teachers' willingness to integrate GenAI (WIAI). This study investigated the effect of perceived…

Despite their use in the classroom remaining controversial, generative AI chatbots that utilize LLMs have revolutionized all aspects of learning, formal and informal, and are proving remarkably useful in a second-language setting even if not primarily designed for foreign language learning. Across the globe, students' and faculty members' written…
