Positive teacher feedback plays a crucial role in student learning. While previous studies on positive teacher feedback have primarily focused on its relationship with student achievement, much less attention has been given to how such feedback associates with student self-efficacy, particularly reading self-efficacy--a key predictor of both…

This article addresses the transformative potential of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize human potential by making education more efficient and effective. We describe a new teaching method called "Dynamic Personalized Learning." In this method, AI dynamically provides feedback and adjusts the level and pace of…

This study aims to present a bibliometric analysis of international research on the response to intervention (RTI) approach. An analysis was conducted using the Web of Science database focusing on the period between 1997 and 2023. At the end of this analysis, 477 records that met the search criteria were identified. Initially, a performance…

This study compares the psychometric properties of scales developed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Self-Organizing Map (SOM), and Andrich's Rating Scale Model (RSM). Data for the research were collected by administering the "Statistical Attitude Scale" trial form, previously used in a separate study, to 808 individuals. First,…

This study aimed to explore the effects of integrating learning-related animations and anthropomorphic warm-colored multidimensional concept maps into multimedia learning materials to stimulate positive emotions in university students and to investigate whether these materials could improve their learning achievements. The research method employed…

There is a long-standing lack of learner satisfaction with quality and quantity of feedback in health professions education (HPE) and training. To address this, university and training programmes are increasingly using technological advancements and data analytic tools to provide feedback. One such educational technology is the Learning Analytic…

Rasch modelling is a powerful tool for evaluating item performance, measuring drift in difficulty over time, and comparing students who sat assessments at different times or at different sites. Here, we use data from thirty UK medical schools to describe the benefits of Rasch modelling in quality assurance and the barriers to using it. Sixty…

This research paper studies the impact of observation techniques in coaching processes in sports, business, and educational settings. In a mixed-methods design, qualitative data through interviews and quantitative data through surveys were collected from a sample of 50 coaches and 100 coachees to conduct both textual and talking analysis along…

The last decade has seen the proliferation of hundreds of thousands of online support groups, fostering new opportunities for parents of children with learning disabilities to access to information, advice, and support online. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the messages of social support exchanged by parents of children with…

Peer review is a cornerstone of academic communication, critical for ensuring the quality and credibility of research. Developing peer review skills sharpens evaluative abilities, promotes critical thinking, and improves teaching, making these skills an essential component of every academic's toolkit. This study reveals that, despite their…

In response to literature examining how student biases can unfairly discriminate against instructors from disadvantaged groups or women, this study investigates how department officials at a large public university in the Northeast United States use student feedback as part of the holistic evaluation of teaching. Through surveys and a focus group,…

Purpose: This study examined students' perspectives on teachers' written formative feedback on their writing assignments in an online learning setting. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative approach was used to gain insights into the effect of individual written formative feedback on writing assignments from teachers in an online setting.…

Background: A key skill for self-regulated learners is the ability to critically interpret and act on feedback--key components of feedback literacy. Yet, the connection between feedback literacy and self-regulated learning (SRL) remains underexplored, particularly in terms of how different levels of feedback literacy influence SRL processes in…

Although leisure participation has been recognized as an essential life domain that contributes to university students' lives and education, only a paucity of research has focused on the effects of past leisure experiences on education among university students. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to explore the role of post-leisure…
