Purpose: This study examines existing automatic screening methods for developmental language disorder (DLD), a neurodevelopmental language deficit without known biomedical etiologies, focusing on languages, data sets, extracted features, performance metrics, and classification methods. Additionally, it summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of…

School climate surveys are frequently used to collect information about student experiences in school. Less is known about how educators use survey data after survey administration. This paper explores one school district's critical use of evidence to promote equitable change. We conducted eight semi-structured interviews with district and school…

Critical thinking (CT) consists of a deliberate and reflective process that can lead to informed decisions. It involves scrutinizing the trustworthiness and consistency of underlying assumptions, the sources of data, and the validity of other information. CT embodies deliberate, self-regulated judgment incorporating cognitive abilities such as…

Despite the increasing use of the statistical programming language R in statistics and data analysis (SDA), its implementation in communication science education is limited. Experiences, recommendations, and a critical exchange are therefore scarce. The following contribution addresses this very gap. At the Department of Journalism and…

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 study investigates the cognitive and emotional processes involved in augmented reality (AR)-based learning. The study looks at learning outcomes, emotional responses, meditation, and attention using a comprehensive approach that includes self-assessment, electroencephalogram data gathering, and postexperiment questionnaires. In total, 12…

This study examines accounting faculty perceptions of the alignment of the newly revised CPA exam with the evolving demands of the accountancy profession. Triggered by significant technological advancements and the CPA Evolution initiative, the exam now encompasses broader coverage of data analytics, information technology, and emerging…

Qualitative interviews and focus groups are commonly used methods to elicit participants' voices in program evaluations. However, the use of these data-gathering methods can fall short of the goal; even with open-ended questions, the protocols guiding and shaping interviews and focus groups heavily reflect the evaluators' understanding and…

With the advent of closed-circuit television systems (CCTV) in the era of technology, a massive amount of video data is generated daily. CCTV are installed at several educational institutions to monitor students' behavior and ensure their safety. Human activity monitoring is done manually. Abnormal human actions refer to rare or unusual actions in…

Institutions of higher education possess large amounts of learning-related data in their student registers and learning management systems (LMS). This data can be mined to gain insights into study paths, study styles and possible bottlenecks on the study paths. In this study, we focused on creating a predictive model for study completion time…

Although ample research has focused on computing skill development over a single course or specific programming language, relatively little attention is paid to how computing skills evolve across a program. Our work aims to understand how specific skills develop throughout a progression of CS courses. We use qualitative content analysis to catalog…

Educational dashboards are increasingly prevalent visualising technologies that display data from educational processes to help learners and educators track learning pathways, alert for deviations, and make interventions. This study contributes to critical studies on data visualisations in education by examining dashboards in higher distance…

Intervention studies focused on improving reading outcomes are scarce for postsecondary students with disabilities. Historically, comprehensive transition and postsecondary education programs (CTPs) for students with disabilities focused on employment, living, personal, and social skills over academic instruction. Recently, there is an emphasis to…

We discuss our experience in teaching data analytics, and in particular prescriptive analytics, to students in business schools using an inter-coherent case study, where a managerial decision is decomposed into a series of research problems with interlocking analyses and the outcome of one analysis is the input of other analysis. Students who…

This report presents a summary of results from a 2024 survey of School Boards, developed by NZCER in collaboration with Te Whakaroputanga Kaitiaki Kura o Aotearoa--New Zealand School Boards' Association, and with assistance from the Kokirihia Collective. NZCER plans to use the findings to inform the school professional learning and development…
