This study explored how online students perceived their instructors' emotional intelligence (EI) and its impact on their learning engagement. Using eight EI behaviours of online instructors and a learning engagement instrument, 100 online university students were surveyed regarding their observation of those EI behaviours and their learning…

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has the potential to revolutionize the education sector. This study sought to determine the efficacy of ChatGPT to correctly answer questions a learner would use and to elucidate how the AI was processing potential prompts. Our goal was to evaluate the role of prompt formats, response consistency, and…

Successful problem solving is a complex process that requires content knowledge, process skills, developed critical thinking, metacognitive awareness, and deep conceptual reasoning. Teaching approaches to support students developing problem-solving skills include worked examples, metacognitive and instructional scaffolding, and variations of these…

Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) give unbiased estimates of average effects. However, positive effects for the majority of students may mask harmful effects for smaller subgroups, and RCTs often have too small a sample to estimate these subgroup effects. In many RCTs, covariate and outcome data are drawn from a larger database. For…

Purpose: There is limited scholarship on artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education governance, despite the growing prevalence of AI-powered technologies in many fields, including education. However, as the technology is still nascent and has yet to reach its full potential, ideas and arguments abound, championing or cautioning against the…

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Qualitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination.] Qualitative research methods have provided key insights in physics education research (PER) by drawing on non-numerical data such as text or video data. While different methods towards qualitative research exist, they share two essential steps:…

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) allows for the transformation of written text into artistic images of varying styles. Scholars and researchers are beginning to explore the benefits of this technology to improve reflective practices and critical analyses in education. The extent to which AI-generated images can be used in nursing education…

The Community Learning and Service Partnership (CLASP) being named the recipient of the Malcolm Knowles Award prompts retrospection and raises the question of what to present at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE) conference. What is the overarching narrative of CLASP? Given the international and intergenerational…

Large amounts of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) data is created through hospitals, therapy centers, and mobile applications; however, much of this rich data does not have pre-existing classes or labels. Large amounts of data--both genetic and behavioral--that are collected as part of scientific studies or a part of treatment can provide a deeper,…

This chapter provides a systematic review of research published between 2006 and 2022 on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) platforms in writing instruction. We theorize writing and platforms as complex ecologies, investigating the interplay of their relations and implications for educational equity. Our findings suggested three functional…

The aim of this study was to examine whether the use of a response-to-intervention (RTI) model to identify specific learning disability (SLD) over-identifies children and youth with population-relative (normative) weaknesses in general cognitive ability (IQs < 90). We compared the overall score on the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test-Second…

We compared the Wechsler scores of individuals with twice-exceptionality (2e) and giftedness using a three-level Bayesian meta-analysis. Ninety-five effect sizes were calculated from 15 studies (n = 2,106). Results show that individuals with 2e who have learning disabilities perform lower than individuals with giftedness in Full-Scale Intelligence…

The turn to online learning and training programs as a response to challenging times (i.e., the COVID-19 crisis) necessitated the need for internet-based testing solutions. Researchers generally have found that Unproctored Internet Testing (UIT) for high-stakes cognitive ability assessments results in higher scores than proctored assessments. Live…

This study explored the Social Representations (SRs) of Gifted Children in France, both in the general adult population and in different childhood professionals's populations (i.e., primary school teachers, secondary school teachers, and psychologists). Two binary SRs emerged from the data obtained from 608 participants. In the general population,…

Dialogic reading, when children are read a storybook and engaged in relevant conversation, is a powerful strategy for fostering language development. With the development of artificial intelligence, conversational agents can engage children in elements of dialogic reading. This study examined whether a conversational agent can improve children's…
