Introduction: The current study examined the extent to which static and dynamic measures of vocabulary and word learning predicted response and identified poor responders to a vocabulary intervention. Methods: Participants were 46 preschool children in classrooms randomly assigned to complete the Story Friends intervention in two…

Purpose: This study examines how Discord facilitates peer-to-peer learning in a university-level computer graphics course. It explores how the platform supports student engagement, peer feedback and mentorship in a technical, project-based setting. By analyzing survey responses and server engagement metrics, the study highlights Discord's role in…

This study aimed to investigate elementary learners' emotions, emotion regulation, and enjoyment as they experienced asynchronous online learning in the postpandemic context. Gross's (2006) Process Model of Emotion Regulation was used to investigate the interrelationships between these three components, resulting in theoretical and practical…

With teacher shortages, high staff turnover, and an influx of new and underprepared teachers, highly capable data-informed teaching teams are needed now more than ever. "Instructional Innovation+" provides educators with a systematic action research approach to achieve instructional innovation and guide teaching teams to success through…

This study investigates how anthropomorphic AI chatbot avatars, designed in line with the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) dimensions of warmth and competence, influence university students' perceptions of support for self-directed learning (SDL) activities. We examined student responses to two distinct avatars--one projecting warmth and the other…

Learners' engagement with feedback, recognized as an essential factor for influencing the learning process, is pivotal for enhancing learning outcomes. Despite its growing attention among researchers, it remains understudied in the field of second language acquisition, particularly within the context of learning Chinese as a second language (CSL).…

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 investigated the size of the impact that emotion-related interventions had on the alexithymia scores of children and young people and the effectiveness of these interventions in an independent special school. Additionally, the aim was to understand the needs of young people in specialist educational provisions more holistically to gain…

Regular expressions (REs) are often taught to undergraduate computer science majors in the Formal Languages and Automata (FLA) course; they are widely used to implement different software functionalities such as search mechanisms and data validation in diverse fields. Despite their importance, the difficulty of REs has been asserted many times in…

To investigate the potential of GPT-4.0 feedback to substitute teacher feedback in flipped classrooms, we conducted research that GPT-4.0 and a course teacher provided cognitive, praise, and mitigating feedback weekly via a course discussion platform, respectively. At the end of each topic, 89 third-year university students majoring in Educational…

This study examines the effects of the continuation task and the model-as-feedback writing task (MAFW) on English as a foreign language (EFL) vocabulary learning. Three classes of intermediate-level Chinese EFL learners were randomly assigned to a continuation group, a MAFW group, and a control group. Three aspects of vocabulary knowledge --…

Effective writing feedback is a powerful tool for enhancing student learning, encouraging revision, and increasing motivation and agency. Yet, teachers face many challenges that prevent them from consistently providing effective writing feedback. Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have led educators and researchers to…

Objectives: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) risk in young adults is impacted by both affective and cognitive responses to stress. While previous research shows affective reactivity (AR) increases risk for NSSI, less research has examined the role of cognitive reactivity (CR). The current study examined how individual differences in CR to stress…

Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs) are increasingly prevalent in world language instruction. While researchers have investigated various dimensions of IPAs, only one previous study has analyzed the discursive content of associated teacher-learner co-constructive feedback sessions (Adair-Hauck & Troyan, 2013). The present study examines…

This article explores the practice of peace education within the Korean context, where national division has exerted significant cultural and structural impacts. By interviewing South Korean teachers actively involved in peace education, this study examines how such education can contribute to peacebuilding in a politically divisive environment.…
