Collaboration is a sophisticated activity requiring knowledge, technical competencies, and interpersonal skills. Many professionals lack experience in collaboration and therefore face challenges in forming and sustaining early childhood intervention (ECI) teams. There is a paucity of research on collaboration within ECI teams, especially within…

In cognitive psychology, researchers have identified a phenomenon called socially shared retrieval-induced forgetting (SS-RIF) that occurs during collaborative memory tasks in groups. When a speaker selectively retrieves target information, listeners may forget related, non-target information. The mechanism likely involves concurrent covert…

Characterised by its nomadic traditions and multiethnic composition, Inner Mongolia exhibits unique linguistic diversity and intercultural exchange. Within such multilingual contexts, learners' willingness to communicate (WTC) may be influenced by emotional factors such as foreign language enjoyment (FLE) and foreign language learning burnout…

This article examines the intersection of technical and professional communication (TPC) and open educational resources (OER) through a social justice lens, critiquing TPC's slow adoption of OER despite its transformative potential. The article highlights how OER addresses accessibility, affordability, and representation challenges in education,…

This case study is based on a research project with an aim to explore the experiences of student teachers who are also parents, at a large university teacher education provider in Yorkshire. The project team included two student parents from a teacher education program at the university, and three academic members of staff who work in teacher…

In investigating second language (L2) listening, verbal report (VR) can provide direct insight into listeners' behaviors. However, a concern over this method is its potential for reactivity -- that the VR may change (either positively or negatively) the individual's cognitive processes involved in the task being investigated. Thus far, few studies…

Purpose: Understanding children's speech perception strategies in noise is very important for improving their living environment. Previous studies with adults reported that closing the eyes improves speech understanding in noise by increasing the activation of cortical systems involved in listening and attention, while increased cognitive load…

This study explored the use of sophisticated vocabulary, complex syntax, and decontextualized language (including book information, conceptual information, past/future experiences, and vocabulary information) in teachers' instructional interactions with children during the literacy block in prekindergarten and kindergarten classrooms. The sample…

This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable scale for determining teachers' needs to increase their efficiency in professional practice. The stages of creating an item pool, consulting expert opinions, pilot testing, and conducting validity and reliability analyses were followed. Initially, a 46-item pool was created based on a literature…

In this article, we analyze how a hashtag on Twitter allows to create a space of affinity that facilitates teachers' learning. We analyzed 78,470 tweets that included the hashtag #ClaustroVirtual. We determined the frequency and temporal distribution of these tweets while detecting the most active teachers using this hashtag, analyzing the…

Although many scholars have conducted studies on language learning strategies (LLS) around the world, little scholarly work reports on the LLS used by multilingual English learners. Moreover, most of those prior studies have been carried out employing exclusively quantitative methods. In response to these gaps, the present study adopts a…

Understanding students' multi-party epistemic and topic based-dialogue contributions, or how students present knowledge in group-based chat interactions during collaborative game-based learning, offers valuable insights into group dynamics and learning processes. However, manually annotating these contributions is labor-intensive and challenging.…

Strong stakeholder relations are particularly important for FFA, and research has demonstrated the utility of social media for enhancing these relations for the National FFA and state FFA programs. However, not much information is available for how local FFA chapters utilize social media to communicate with stakeholders. Therefore, this study…

Generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, have ignited global discussions and debates about potential educational impacts. By examining initial reactions to ChatGPT shared in online spaces, this study aims to deepen understanding of opportunities and concerns related to integrating such tools into education. With the keyword "chatgpt," we…

Online, asynchronous professional development (PD) offers flexibility for learners, yet what is the most effective way to provide online PD? While current research suggests online platforms can be effective for learning, there is a lack of studies examining differences between fully autonomous, asynchronous modules and those that are asynchronous…
