Studies have shown that explicit strategies make a significant contribution to visuomotor adaptation. However, little attention has been given to potential unconscious cognitive biases in these strategies, despite that they involve a sequence of cognitive decision-making processes. To reveal the possible cultural biases involved in motor learning,…

Example-based learning is a well-known instructional method for effective cognitive skill acquisition in complex domains. "(Contrasting) erroneous examples" are a promising extension that embed errors in instructional material, potentially fostering not only positive but negative knowledge. However, the mechanisms and conditions for…

This pilot study compared the effects of daily mindfulness meditation and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping on the emotional and behavioral regulation of 5-year-old children over a three-week period. Participants were divided into two groups, each receiving one of the interventions. Self-regulation, happiness, and life satisfaction were…

College student athletes have the roles of both a student and an athlete. As a result of the pressure to excel in both academics and sports, they experience greater career anxiety than ordinary students. This anxiety not only impacts their academic performance and athletic training but also affects their subsequent career behaviors. Through the…

Background/purpose: This study addresses the growing gap in preparing pre-service teachers for immersive digital instruction, especially within metaverse environments. While many are familiar with digital platforms as learners, they often lack practical experience in managing and teaching in virtual settings. The purpose of this study is to…

The use of content warnings in English literature education, particularly for canonical texts such as the plays of Shakespeare, has sparked debate, yet little is known about how secondary-school-aged students themselves feel about them. This study addresses this gap by surveying 310 students from four English schools and sixth-form colleges and…

Student evaluations of teaching (SET) act as the primary means to gauge instructor effectiveness. Likewise, SETs provide the primary qualitative feedback to instructors via student comments. However, mostly students with strong feelings tend to write comments. Among the most recallable are toxic comments: comments that are unhelpful/hurtful in…

Classroom behaviour management is a persistent and often overwhelming challenge for novice teachers; they face frequent disruptive behaviours that they struggle to resolve effectively, which harms both the teaching process and classroom climate. This study investigates the specific strategies novice teachers use to manage behaviour, detailing what…

Technology development has triggered digital transformation in various organizations, influencing work processes, communication, and innovation. Digital leadership plays a crucial role in directing and managing this transformation. This research aims to develop a new measurement tool for assessing digital leadership using the Rasch Model for…

Although traditional asynchronous tutoring is associated with text-based communication, writing centers are beginning to experiment with asynchronous multimodal tutoring with the assistance of accessible and interactive multimedia technologies and instructional platforms like VoiceThread. Using a mixed-methods approach of surveys and interviews of…

Background: Impacts of dementia syndromes on caregivers are well established, but research specific to Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) populations is scant. In particular, little is known about the impacts of non-language symptoms (e.g., emotion recognition and behavioural disturbance) on caregiver outcomes in PPA. Aims: The present study sought…

Religious practice plays a vital role in many lives, yet the experiences of individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) remain understudied. This mixed methods study explored spiritual engagement among young adults with IDD living in a religious hostel and their mentors. Data analysis included content coding, word clouds,…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is an approach to learning which aims to improve learners' learning outcomes. In the SRL cycle, the quality of students' reflections is a critical factor in SRL performance that can improve learning outcomes. The feedback provided by teachers often has a significant impact on the quality of students' reflections.…

Value-Added Models (VAMs) are both common and controversial in education policy and accountability research. While the sensitivity of VAMs to model specification and covariate selection is well documented, the extent to which test scoring methods (e.g., mean scores vs. IRT-based scores) may affect VA estimates is less studied. We examine the…

Note-taking is a critical part of interpreting teaching and learning. During note-taking training, feedback is crucial to help student interpreters hone relevant skills, and the effectiveness of feedback hinges on students' engagement. This case study investigates students' affective, cognitive, and behavioural engagement with feedback on notes…
