The primary focus of research on information and communication technologies (ICTs) and work-life interrelationships has been on traditional office work. However, occupations such as teaching are worthwhile to study because they are structured differently than a traditional office given that students are the direct consumers of teacher labor. There…

This conceptual article examines the role of "speculation" in driving responses to generative AI platforms in literacy education and the implications for research, pedagogy, and practice. Our focus on "speculation" encompasses two meanings of the term -- each of which has inspired lively lines of inquiry in literacy studies and…

Purpose: The digital transformation and the increased use of technologies have changed the world of work severely. With it, collaboration and cooperation methods among employees.

Citations are valuable capital in the academy as the number of citations is the most frequently used indicator in evaluating the quality of papers, journals, researchers, and universities. Thus, the characteristics of highly cited articles (HCA) have become a common research topic but the approach has been mainly descriptive with no profound…

Firstly, this paper analyzes the role of AI in the reading management of English language and literature, establishes the implicit knowledge base of neural network, designs the auxiliary reading system for learning English language and literature, and optimizes the English language and literature management model of AI. The experimental results…

Purpose: The literature review explores how multidisciplinary approaches based on critical pedagogy and participatory research can provide frameworks for equitable partnerships and genuine participation in educational design and research practices. Additionally, the essay aims to expand understandings of equitable engagement within educational…

This article presents the results of a microanalysis of sequences when two or more deaf signers overlap. This contribution focuses on "cooperative overlap" - which consists of extended moments of turn-exchanges that move along the unfolding discourse while cohering interlocutors in relation to each other. This aspect of signed…

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has become a powerful tool for Second Language (L2) learning, but few studies have explored the factors influencing learners' experiences and intentions, particularly in developing countries like India. The purpose of the study is to reveal both the reception of VR technology for L2 learning in India and the factors…

With the pervasiveness of laptops in the classroom setting, the effectiveness of laptop-assisted note-taking has not been comprehensively investigated. Many inconsistencies in this area still existed with intense debate towards academic performance, learning strategies, and student satisfaction. To fill this missing gap, this study probed the…

Virtual experiments offer opportunities for students to engage in the scientific process and observe scientific phenomena. However, virtual experiments are not always effective for learning. The current study examined how two small manipulations might support better learning from virtual experiments and the extent to which this varied across…

This study evaluated the impact of training two practitioners to create and implement video-based intervention (VBI) to teach vocational skills to three autistic young adults in authentic workplace settings, via a multiple-probe single-case research design. A behavioral skills training (BST) package was used to train the practitioners to create…
