Supervisor communication competence was used to predict both beneficial (Study 1) and detrimental (Study 2) employee outcomes across remote, hybrid, and in-person work experiences. In both studies, there were no differences in perceived supervisor communication competence based on remote, hybrid, and in-person work experiences. As predicted,…

Some suggest autistic people display impaired Interpersonal Synchrony. However, partners of different neurotypes can struggle to connect and empathise with one another. We used Motion Energy Analysis to examine Social Motor Synchrony (SMS) in familiar partners of the same neurotype: pairs of autistic and of neurotypical children. Partners played…

Drawing on Kolb's experiential learning theory, this article offers practical and ready-to-use ideas that can be implemented into trainings to transform them into interactive experiences for students. By blending practical exercises with the power of theory, trainers can harness their creative ideas to craft dynamic training sessions that not only…

We use conversation analysis to both qualitatively and quantitatively demonstrate that, in a specific action context, an answerer's gaze orientation at the end of their answer's first verbal turn-constructional unit (TCU) is one cooperating element of a multi-resource gestalt for managing the answer-turn's transition relevance. Specifically,…

There is a lack of evidence-based, culturally relevant instructional approaches, especially in writing instruction, that are designed to meet deaf and hard of hearing students' diverse language needs. This article describes the three main guiding principles and two supporting principles of the Strategic and Interactive Writing Instruction…

In this paper, we analyse what interdisciplinary integration looks like in a research project aimed at developing Probo, a social robot that can be used as an interface by therapists working with autistic children. With our analysis, we contribute to a piecemeal approach to theorizing about integration, which is sensitive to the diversity of goals…

Existing theories and frameworks generally have regarded creativity as inhering in a person, a task, a situation, or a combination of 2 of these 3 elements. After reviewing these approaches, and frameworks that are based on the interaction of more than 2 components, we propose a Person × Task × Situation synergistic paradigm, according to which…

The presented article is based on the theoretical concept of the interdependence of human existence and the social environment of its habitat. To study the interactive exchange of a person and the social environment, the methodology of the eco-anthropocentric paradigm of cognition of social and environmental interaction, developed by the famous…

Student interactions in distance learning have been a critical element of the transactional distance theory. Research shows that student interactions have a positive effect on learning outcomes. However, little is known about how student interactions can be improved. The need to understand student interactions and to determine the relationships…

The article presents the concept and first results of tests of a Virtual Reality system dedicated for interactive education of manual assembly procedure. The presented solution is based on the use of a Delta robot. The main task of the robot is to simulate the shape of virtual objects as an alternative to haptic devices. The manipulator with…

In this article, we analyze the potential of conversational frameworks to support the adaptation of existing tutoring systems to a natural language form of interaction. We have based our research on a pilot study, in which the open-source machine learning framework Rasa has been used to build a conversational agent that interacts with an existing…

A facility dog in a school is a comparatively recent category of working dog. These dogs typically are trained at the assistance, or service dog, level and are thoroughly prepared for their role. The school facility dog accompanies an owner/handler, who is a professional employee of the school, to work on a regular basis. Research on human-canine…

In interprofessional (IP) workplace education, course and project leaders need a deeper understanding of how students learn. Basically, in IP workplace learning students learn from each other, from the affected agents (patients, clients, children, youth, or elderly), from the staff, and from using multitudes of artifacts. Most of these…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine how automation in the ever-changing technological landscape is increasing integrated into, and has become a significant presence in, our personal lives. Design/methodology/approach: Through post qualitative inquiry, the authors provide a contemplation of automation and its effect on creativity, as a…

Active learning and practices are strongly encouraged or made mandatory by local, national, and European organizations. Therefore, we set up an interactive practical classroom, engaging all of the attending students of the year (n = 47). Each student was assigned a physiological role (marked on a cardboard sign) in the following events:…
