A meta-analytic study was conducted of the "Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology" to understand higher education instructors use of technology in teaching and learning. Through broad searches of the years 2003-2023, 117 records were identified for initial review. After reviewing the studies and removing those studies that…

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'…

This report aims to update and broaden the understanding of teachers' experiences of teaching reading and writing as the capabilities of generative AI expand and improve. As part of ongoing research considering what it means to be literate in the digital age, the National Literacy Trust have been exploring how generative AI tools might influence,…

In 2025, National Literacy Trust wanted to increase their understanding of how generative AI tools might be beginning to influence what it means to be literate in the digital age. National Literacy Trust first asked children and young people about their awareness and use of generative AI platforms in their Annual Literacy Survey in early 2023,…

This paper explores the possibilities for student agency for multilingual learners. Drawing on sociocultural understandings of agency, the discussion provides a portrait of literacy policy across the United States and its influence on opportunities for multilingual learners during literacy instruction.

The purpose of this discussion guide is to support SEAs and local education agencies (LEAs) in states with assessment-related State-Identified Measurable Results (SiMRs) in communicating assessment data in ways that are useful to stakeholders, and in improving data literacy among stakeholders so they can meaningfully participate in key State…

Although the literature underscores the importance of teacher educators' roles in technology leadership, there remains a need to clearly define this concept within teacher education and to understand the attributes and practices that enable teacher educators to act as technology leaders, as well as the factors influencing their leadership in…

This brief examines early literacy screening data in Massachusetts from 2021 to 2024, focusing on students identified as significantly below benchmark and their later performance on the state test (MCAS). It finds that most students flagged as at risk remain so 1 and 2 years later, with persistence increasing in higher grades. Early identification…

Digital humanities (DH) is one of the fastest-growing interdisciplinary fields, driven by rapid technological advancements. However, the majority of DH tools, databases, and methodologies have been developed primarily for research purposes, with comparatively few designed explicitly for teaching and learning. This study adopts an experimental…

This paper presents the outcomes of the DigX project, aimed at supporting 44 Flemish secondary schools in embedding digital competences and media literacy into educational practice.

Objectives: This quantitative research study investigates the opportunities, difficulties, and…

Purpose: Atypical temporal processing is thought to be involved in the phonological difficulties that characterize children with developmental dyslexia (DYS). The temporal sampling (TS) theory of dyslexia posits that the processing of low-frequency envelope modulations is impaired, but the processing of binaural temporal fine structure (TFS) is…

An issue devoted to foundational skills and adolescents might center the cognitive skills and practices most needed to accelerate learning. While an understanding of these--whether multisyllabic decoding, fostering comprehension through discussion, or argumentative writing--is important, in this article, we advocate for the importance of attending…

Students seek to understand the 'why' behind what they are learning in the classroom. Although answering 'why' they have to learn something can be challenging in the moment, supporting students to understand the context and application of what they are learning is essential to getting students to truly make sense of the information gained and be…
