The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) into educational settings offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance the efficiency of teaching and the effectiveness of learning, particularly within online platforms. This study evaluates the development and application of a customized GAI-powered teaching assistant, trained…

Differential observing responses (DORs) are additional response requirements used to promote orientation to a stimulus in a discrimination task. Farber and Dickson (2023) recently provided a DOR taxonomy, and these authors reported that no prior research has compared the effects of distinct DOR requirements. We compared the effects of two DOR…

Written correction feedback (WCF) has been a part of the field of English as a foreign language (EFL) writing for decades. Much research has been conducted on WCF in various contexts. In Yemen, it seems that WCF has still not been touched. This study explores Yemeni EFL undergraduates' attitudes on having their written essays corrected using a…

Our educational system has been political and complex since the introduction of public schooling. Additionally, schools and teachers serve multiple purposes, from teaching curricular content to fostering social, emotional, and interpersonal skills in their students. The issue of book banning in schools raises critical questions about who controls…

The integration of expressive arts into trauma therapy has garnered significant attention for its ability to enhance healing and emotional processing. This article explores a proposed EMDR Drumming Protocol and therapeutic process for at-risk youth. It is a novel approach that combines the therapeutic power of Eye Movement Desensitization and…

This study is developing a Deep Learning model automating the coding of drawings students provide about climate change phenomena in our world, as a learning contribution through formative assessment. We started first with ResNet50 architecture, but ultimately, we settled on MobileNetV2 reduced architecture for the sake of being able to integrate…

This study examined whether parenting behavior serves as an intervening mechanism in accounting for associations between romantic attachment styles and children's emotional reactivity (i.e., anger and distress reactivity). Participants included 235 mothers (62% White) and a preschool-aged child (M[subscript age] = 2.97; 55% female) recruited from…

The majority of what we compose, we compose for others. Because audience impact is central to the success of writing and designing, peer review tests how our compositions work in the world. Accordingly, we have built decades of scholarship establishing best practices for sharing our work with others, especially as new technologies emerge. This…

Motivated by the benefits of repeated deliberate practice, we created an interactive exercise system for use in an undergraduate engineering mechanics class that focuses on practicing learned fundamental concepts. These exercises take the form of traditional word problems commonly found in mechanics courses, involving things like selecting and…

This article examines young people's experiences of loneliness in the peer support discussion forum YouthNet (YN). The study aimed to shed understanding of loneliness as a shared experience. The data consists of 869 loneliness-related messages from 2010 to 2023. Data was analyzed with dual inductive-deductive thematic analysis and content…

Determining the mechanisms underlying the relationships between emotional autonomy and subjective well-being is necessary for understanding the psychological functioning of adolescents. The current study examined inner prosociality and hope as serial mediators in the relationships from emotional autonomy to subjective well-being. Using convenience…

Feedback-seeking is a critical skill in higher education, where students are expected to actively engage with and initiate the feedback process. However, limited research explores how feedback-seeking can be explicitly taught. This study examines a systematic pedagogical approach to teaching feedback-seeking behaviour (FSB) in first-year STEM…

Low engagement of students in learning activities has become a significant barrier to positive learning outcomes and academic progress. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate which effective classroom practices teachers can implement to enhance student engagement. One of the valuable tools teachers can use is creating a supportive classroom…

Previously, most studies in this area have focused on the reciprocal effects of language teachers' emotions, identity, well-being and agency, with emotions often being portrayed as consequential entities. However, this book advances the field by exploring specifically how language teacher emotions can be used as tools for personal and professional…

Visual storytelling is a widely practiced educational activity that encourages children's verbal and figural creative expression through both narrative and drawing. This study investigated how transforming children's drawings into multimedia formats--by adding sound effects, animated presentation, or a combination of both--impacted children's…
