Despite the growing use of large language models (LLMs) in educational contexts, there is no evidence on how these can be operationalized by students to generate custom datasets suitable for teaching and learning. Moreover, in the context of network science, little is known about whether LLMs can replicate real-life network properties. This study…

This article uses a comparative case study to examine how a methodological approach called interaction geography provides alternative ways to animate space, movement, and affect within the context of early childhood education. We take animation to incorporate the methods for representing space, movement, and affect; the social-material environment…

What are children's perceptions of what a museum is and what it should be? Is there a discrepancy between the two, and if so, in what sense? To address these questions, a collaboration between Cultural Inquiry, Fondation Lascaux, Brüttisellen, and the Bifang Primary School in Olten, Switzerland has established a series of experimental atelier…

This study examines the impact of interactive reading instructional software (IRIS) on the reading speed of first-grade elementary students. Using a single-group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design, the research involved 21 days of interactive reading lessons. Observations during the implementation phase helped evaluate the influence of…

Background: Previous studies indicate that a subset of children with Tourette syndrome (TS) experiences communication difficulties; however, the specific characteristics of these challenges remain underexplored. Aims: This study aimed to (1) quantify the proportion of children with TS within a North American cohort exhibiting communication…

This study examines how parents' perceived value influences the parent-teacher relationship in Taiwanese preschools, with service quality and social media use serving as mediating factors. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted, and data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test both the…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessment via telehealth, with growing support in terms of both validity and acceptability, was increasingly used during the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued due to its utility and convenience. Shifting from in-person assessments to telehealth for young children required several adaptations, namely around…

This study investigated correlation between classroom social environment and secondary school students' interest in Government subject in Nsukka Education Zone, Enugu state. The study adopted correlational research design. The population of the study was 1069 Senior Secondary 2 (SS2) students offering Government in 60 public secondary schools in…

Asynchronous online delivery of initial teacher education courses is increasing due to the opportunities it provides for preservice teachers and higher education institutes. However, asynchronous online learning has been shown to limit learners' sense of relationality. Since relationality has various benefits for preservice teachers, it is…

Purpose: Communication complexity and communicative function are important features of prelinguistic communication that are related to later language outcomes. However, little is known about how these early prelinguistic features present in young children with neurogenetic syndromes (NGS). This study aims to characterize prelinguistic complexity…

This study uses an online experiment among 15-17-year-old participants (n = 566) to test whether adolescents' involvement with television characters (i.e. wishful identification, parasocial interaction, perceived age similarity, attraction) varied based on character age (teen or adult), and whether involvement moderated the relationship between…

Non-interactive teaching, in which students explain previously learned content to a non-present peer, is a generative learning activity that has gained increasing attention in recent years. While meta-analyses indicate small-to-moderate benefits, findings have been inconsistent, suggesting that its effectiveness depends on contextual factors.…

Considering the pressing need for effective health education in primary schools, this systematic review rigorously evaluates various strategies designed to enhance students' health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours. The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy, challenges, and outcomes of health education programmes that…

Parents play a critical role in supporting the language development of children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH). Research shows that key parent-child interaction factors--such as parental sensitivity, non-intrusiveness, and joint attention--are strongly linked to better language outcomes in DHH children. The quantity and quality of…

This case study investigates the implementation of place-based research to understand human-environment interactions, utilizing a sequential mixed-method design. Based on original research conducted in natural settings, the study combines survey data and walk-and-talk interviews to capture the breadth and depth of participants' experiences. Key…
