Advancement in the fields of emotion regulation and performance in learning settings has developed our collective understanding of how affective stimuli modulate emotional responses of learners who are engaging in learning tasks. Studies in the application of background music during cognitively demanding tasks have led to a continued study of how…

The influence of algorithms on society is increasing due to their growing presence in all areas of daily life. Although we are not always aware of it, they sometimes usurp the identity of other social actors. The main purpose of this article is to address the meta-research on the field of artificial intelligence and communication from a holistic…

Purpose: This study aims to explore how individual personal growth initiative (PGI) mediates the relationship between a positive error orientation and job crafting. Furthermore, it explores the moderating role of the feedback from the leader in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach: Data was collected through a survey conducted on 209…

Purpose: Poststroke communication deficits (PSCD) are common following stroke. Early and intensive speech and language therapy is recommended to maximize outcomes. We wanted to test the feasibility of providing telerehabilitation for patients with PSCD using mobile tablet-based technology to bridge the gap between acute stroke care and outpatient…

In recent years, there has been an increasing call for more public engagement of scientists, and this happens in parallel with a rising internationalization of research. Willingness to communicate is explained by attitudes (ideas and perceptions about science communication), but is also the result of a combination of personal and contextual…

Mathematical writing in school is difficult to teach. Reasons include that it is a domain in which there are rules for some parts of the writing like for example mathematical notation while others must be negotiated locally in the classroom. Writing is also seldom separated from the process of solving mathematical problems, creating a situation…

The pretrained large language models have been widely tested for their performance on some challenging tasks including arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning. Recently how to combine LLMs with prompting techniques has attracted lots of researchers to propose their models to automatically solve math word problems. However, most research…

Gathering information from students' answers to open-ended questions helps to assess the quality of teachers' practices and its relations with students' motivation. The present study aimed to use sentiment analysis, an artificial intelligence-based tool, to examine students' responses to open-ended questions about their teacher's communication.…

Cyberbullying in the workplace is a growing phenomenon and universities are no exceptions. As teachers and researchers, university professors interact online with a diversity of people, placing them in a vulnerable position towards cyberbullying. Despite this situation, measures in universities are not well known and studies on the subject are…

This single-class activity augments the popular desert island activity to include a secret insider who aims to influence their group covertly. The motivation for this augmented activity is twofold: (1) to highlight and dispel notions of invulnerability to groupthink and (2) to provide an opportunity to engage in small-group decision making. To…

This paper addresses the pervasive absence of verbal student participation in the online class, a phenomenon observed by many lecturers and instructors expressing the frustrating and uncomfortable experiences of encountering silence from their students, particularly when it came to responding to their questions. Added to the frustration is the…

Studies employing multiple-schedule arrangements to bring social approaches (e.g., requesting attention, raising hand) under stimulus control have commonly used correlated contrived, continuous stimuli with at least one condition (e.g., displaying a green stimulus when attention is available and a red stimulus when it is not). Although imposing…

Background: Sensitive responsiveness is an important aspect in affect-regulation of people with severe to profound intellectual disabilities. Aim: This randomized controlled trial evaluated the Attune & Stimulate-checklist, a tool for detecting subtle and idiosyncratic communicative behaviours and responding adequately. Methods: Effects on the…

Providing quality hands-on exercises in a GIS course is essential in enhancing problem-solving skills and student-led learning activities. However, the strategies and instructional methods of managing hands-on exercises, which have been used in traditional face-to-face classes, will require new interpretations in a virtual learning environment and…

This short brief describes conversational interview podcasts as an alternative to traditional guest lectures in the context of an online undergraduate course that shifted from in-person to virtual course delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. The informal format of conversational interviews counters the impersonal tone that can often pervade…
