Many international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) have switched to multistage adaptive testing (MST) designs to improve measurement efficiency in measuring the skills of the heterogeneous populations around the world. In this context, previous literature has reported the acceptable level of model parameter recovery under the MST designs when the…

Recent research on language teacher factors has focused on the construct of teacher immunity. This construct was introduced into the field of language teaching to delineate language teachers' psychological state. Productive teacher immunity is defined as language teachers' psychological shield that safeguards them against diverse stress-inducing…

Mathematical proficiency, particularly in Numbers and Algebra outcomes, is critical for academic achievement and real-world problem-solving. This study examines the impact of an intelligent tutoring system on seventh-grade students' mathematical development. The research had two goals: (1) to compare the conceptual understanding between…

An increasing number of studies have explored the effects of collaborative writing on written outcomes; however, few studies have examined the influence of collaborative processing of feedback. This study addresses this gap by focusing on learner engagement. While collaborative writing involves co-authoring a text, which requires negotiation and…

Online Collaborative Writing (OCW) is a prevalent practice among undergraduate students, yet challenges arising from a lack of group awareness (GA) often hinder effective collaboration. To address such challenges, this study included three phases: (1) A preliminary study (n=9) aimed to identify challenges that undergraduate students face while…

A prior randomized trial found a school social intervention yielded significantly better outcomes (social and autism features) immediately following intervention compared to typical school programming (services-as-usual [SAU]) for children on the autism spectrum. In that study, children in the SAU condition subsequently completed a summer social…

The present study examined how Arab students, as a minority group in a teacher-education college in Israel, coped with uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic. The insights gained can inform how educators support Arab students during other challenging times, such as periods of political instability. The study aimed to enhance understanding of…

Augmented reality (AR) technology can enrich preschoolers' picture book reading experiences. This study examined differences in reading quality and comprehension between children using AR and traditional paper picture books. Ninety 5- to 6-year-old children from City S, with no prior AR exposure, were randomly assigned to an AR group or a paper…

Emotions play a significant role in shaping technology adoption decisions, influencing not only perceptions but also behavioural intentions. In this study, we investigated the structural relationships among online learning self-efficacy, positive and negative emotions, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and behavioural intention in the…

Within the Multi-Tiered Support System (MTSS) framework, Response to Intervention (RTI) seeks to advance educational equity by providing data-driven interventions and continuous progress monitoring. While RTI has been credited for increasing student academic achievement and promoting high-quality inclusive education, rigid assessment protocols,…

This study conceptualised principal feedback as a motivational and informational cue that shapes teachers' beliefs about their capabilities and their engagement in ongoing learning. The aim was to develop a more integrated understanding of how principal feedback influences teachers' instructional practices by examining the mediating roles of…

The present study examines individuals' thinking during and after reading controversial historical accounts and the possible contribution of epistemic beliefs, emotions, and prior-knowledge in this context. Young adults (n = 39) were asked to read two accounts about a recent war in their country, an own-side account -- from a historian of their…

Collaboration is an important lifelong and career skill, and collaborative learning is a growing pedagogical practice. Students often struggle, however, to negotiate, manage conflict, and construct knowledge with other group members. These struggles can lead to negative interactions, resulting in negative emotions. Students in collaborative…

In spite of a host of scholarship pertaining to response and the contexts that surround our response practices, few have studied how everyday classroom texts may inform students' interpretations of teachers' written feedback on their writing. This article examines the results from case studies of six students across two first-year composition…

While Langer's assertions about feeling and art have had a marked impact on music educators' thinking and action, they have also earned substantial critique. The purpose of this philosophical inquiry is to examine Langer's and Deleuze's writings about the ontology of art and to posit a new concept, 'becoming feeling,' inspired by the meeting of…
