This study explores the use of large language models (LLMs) to generate feedback on essay-type assignments in Higher Education. Drawing on a seminal feedback framework, it examines the pedagogical and psychological effectiveness of LLM-generated feedback across three cohorts of MBA, MSc, and undergraduate students. Methods included linguistic…

Drawing on the two theoretical concepts of 'dual and multiple identity' and 'stigmatisation', this study investigates how 12 Chinese university teacher translators navigate the stigma associated with translating rainbow works or works related to the LGBTQI+ community. The research identified trade-offs and compromises in navigating several…

Recent research in open education has increasingly focused on the potential of open educational practices (OEP) to foster equitable, accessible, and transformative learning experiences. This study explores students' perceptions of openness in education, particularly within a fully online graduate program that integrates OEP. The research examines…

Background: Teachers should have a reasonable socio-scientific reasoning (SSR) level, both because they are intellectual members of society and because of their duty to teach reasoning skills to their students, who will become responsible citizens of the future, as indicated in the curriculum. Purpose: The study aims to examine the SSR level of…

High school chemistry teachers are increasingly expected to teach materials science content, often without formal preparation in the field. This study examines how 20 experienced chemistry teachers engaged with solid-state topics within a graduate-level chemistry course designed to support dual-enrollment instruction. Using a social annotation…

Introduction: With the growing trend of technology adoption in teaching and learning, this integration must continuously be studied to track its status. Social Sciences, also known as Social Studies in other countries, is one of the subjects that the South African government has designed to accommodate technology adoption. Therefore, this…

This research aims to develop the self-directed learning instructional model by implementing a blended learning method with English subject group teachers in opportunity expansion schools in…

Research review articles over the years have established that studies on teaching critical thinking suffer from methodological and theoretical deficiencies, making results unreliable. The methods have been criticized for not handling threats to internal validity (designs without control groups or proper randomization) and the theories have been…

Engineers' contribution to society tends to be located in rational, technical constructs devoid of social and political interests. This paradigm presents a challenge to engineering educators tasked with undergraduate engineering curriculum content that links to society in some way. This article reports on a study undertaken by engineering…

Engineering education has evolved significantly in recent years, however, engineering graduates continue to encounter challenges during their transition to the workplace. There is a need to identify graduates' needs and gather their input regarding engineering education programs to enhance the preparation of engineering students for the workplace.…

This study aims to examine how Social Sciences (IPS) learning influences the internalization of accommodative multicultural values among junior high school (SMP) students. The research is grounded in the recognition that multicultural education plays a crucial role in shaping students' attitudes of tolerance and respect for cultural diversity,…

This article provides a series of fictitious case studies as vignettes to exemplify how educators can support complex trauma impacted children in school to establish Flow. Flow contributes to effective immersion in learning, where educators can quickly recognise states and emotions which disrupt the Flow, and can lead to disengagement in learning.…
