The data article is a digital genre that has emerged in response to new exigencies, namely, to make data more transparent and research processes more trustable and reproducible. Following White's framework of intersubjective stance, this article draws upon statistical tools and collocational and discourse analyses to examine the linguistic…

One of the challenges of discussing validity arguments for machine scoring of essays centers on the absence of a commonly held definition and theory of good writing. At best, the algorithms attempt to measure select attributes of writing and calibrate them against human ratings with the goal of accurate prediction of scores for new essays.…

The information system for public relations via mobile application (PPSTC system) is considered a tool to promote public relations and information perception in digital age based on the application of new ideas that can respond to and accommodate the current world situations. This research aimed to analyse and develop the PPSTC system; and…

The educational system is presently undergoing a substantial change to improve the teaching-learning process of all engineering domains. This includes the utilization of user-friendly simulation tools as part of the laboratory for an enhanced practical experience on a virtual platform. Owing to the advantages of virtual experimentation,…

This study aims to explore the influences of the CS-unplugged activities in developing problem solving skills of preschool children. The participants were 11 children (4-5 aged) enrolled in a public preschool and Code.org activities were used as an instructional package. Activity evaluation form and interviews were used to understand children's…

Energy is a disciplinary core idea and a cross-cutting concept in the K-12 Framework for Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). As numerous authors point out, the energy model in these standards emphasizes the connections between energy and systems. Using energy ideas to interpret or make sense of phenomena means…

This article addresses the problem of traffic congestion through a learning perspective, highlighting the capabilities of information, and communication technologies to transform society. Recent physical and mathematical analysis of congestion reveals that training drivers to keep a safe distance systematically contributes to the emergence and…

After the COVID-19 pandemic, both teachers and learners have reached a new understanding in the use of technology. With the change in the understanding of education, their access to technology has become a necessity.

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) need to stay abreast of advances in communication technologies to be student centric, but institutional adoption of Short Messaging Service (SMS) text varies widely and research on incorporation for advising is limited (Arnold et al., 2020; IPEDS 2020; Santos et al., 2018). This quantitative study explored…

The use of chatbots in language learning has been on the rise. In recent Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) research, there is a consensus that rule-based, scripted voice systems are optimal for language learning. Such systems integrate well into instructed language learning in that interactions with the user are predictable and…

This study aims to identify the experiences of information technology (IT) students in learning computer programming. Specifically, the feelings towards learning programming and the challenges and difficulties encountered by IT students were determined. The researcher used a phenomenological approach to determine the commonality of lived…

One of the most important benefits of read alouds in the early years is the exposure children gain to new words. Although many early skills support later reading success, early vocabulary knowledge improves reading in several ways, including supporting comprehension of words that children decode; helping children recognize words more quickly;…

Multistage adaptive testing (MST) has become popular in the testing industry because the research has shown that it combines the advantages of both linear tests and item-level computer adaptive testing (CAT). The previous research efforts primarily focused on MST design issues such as panel design, module length, test length, distribution of test…

High schools must format the master schedules and designate a specific number of instructional minutes to help promote student growth. School leaders that attempt to enhance Pennsylvania Value-Added Assessment growth scores need an opportunity to utilize a master schedule that fits their needs and to support continued growth. With the emergence of…
