The rise of digital technologies, on one hand, has transformed the way learners interact with digital environments. On the other hand, we witness the digital divide and biases associated with it. This calls for a redefinition of digital citizenship. This prompted us to develop the Critical Digital Citizenship (CDC) Scale to assess school teachers'…

Caregivers of young children with neurodevelopmental disabilities report a need for training and support in reducing their children's challenging behavior at home.

Conversational agents have been designed to improve instruction quality and support student learning. In addition to their instructional use, they can be incorporated into assessment--conversation-based assessment (CBA). This study primarily introduces a CBA with selected-response and constructed-response tests as a formative assessment tool for…

Social interaction depends on turn-taking and adapting to one's conversational partner, yet little is known about the typical and atypical development of these abilities. We investigated this in a longitudinal corpus of spontaneous speech in 64 parent-child dyads: 32 typically developing children (20.27 months at start, six girls, 24 White) and 32…

However, most studies on online engagement have adopted macro-level approaches and relied on self-report measures of retrospective engagement. Few have examined micro-level engagement in terms of real-time and…

This paper offers a creative methodology for co-creating and analysing data when conducting research with children, families and practitioners in the early years. Instead of relying heavily on either adult observation or language when, for example, interviewing children, we propose the method of choreographed visual montage. We show the novelty…

This study aims to determine the effect of the STEM-based learning model on collaboration skills and determine the effective contribution of the STEM-based learning model to collaboration skills in the chemistry subject of buffer solution material. This study uses a quantitative quasi-experimental study with a posttest only with control group…

Background/purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using E-Module-based Problem-Based Learning (PBL-EM) in improving the mathematical communication skills of Senior High School students based on their cognitive style on mathematical logic material. Materials/methods: This study used a mixed design with an embedded design approach…

Identification of subgroups of youth who differ in their involvement in peer aggression and victimization has received considerable attention in the literature. Most prior studies have identified subgroups based on self- or peer reports, used cutoff scores rather than empirical approaches, and focused on elementary school students despite evidence…

Teachers' classroom communication behaviours play a significant role in students' academic performance and behaviours. However, insufficient research exists on the mediating impact of English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' clarity and credibility on their students' willingness to attend classes (WTAC) mediated by AI tools, to date. To fill…

Collaboration is an essential skill for future education professionals because they will encounter challenges that will require collectively innovative solutions. Thus, this research evaluates the impact of a three-month class hackathon (a one-day event and three post-hackathon workshops) on the collaborative competencies of students of education.…
