This paper presents the preliminary findings and research agenda for the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Community Arts Collaboratory's (Arts Collab) 2-year initiative supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. The research examined how arts-based, embodied professional learning can support school-based educators in developing and…

Reading practice is crucial for students with reading difficulties, but locating texts for reading practice can be time-consuming for teachers. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools (e.g., ChatGPT) can rapidly create text according to specified parameters, but the application of creating content for reading intervention has not been examined. We used…

In this study, we explore the effects of self-reported or suspected generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) use in essay writing on peer assessment and revision patterns among a group of early student adopters. The data were collected from a higher education course, where students engaged in a group peer assessment activity, and analysed using…

Generative AI tools, including the popular ChatGPT, have had a significant impact on discourses about future work and educational practices. Previous research in science education has highlighted the potential of generative AI in various education-related areas, including generating valuable discussion material, solving physics problems, and…

Background/purpose: The study investigates whether the AI-assisted learning leads to a significant difference in student scores across the measured writing skills, and it also provides valuable insights for teachers and students on utilizing ChatGPT effectively. Specifically, the study applies a quasi-experimental design to assess five core…

In Senegal, too many children are struggling to master the foundational skill of reading. Only one in three students achieve basic proficiency in reading by the end of primary school, and by lower secondary school, just 9 per cent are reading at the minimum proficiency level. One of the major barriers to improving literacy outcomes is the lack of…

This research aimed to 1) Study the learning experiences management ability of teachers 2) Study the satisfaction of the teachers towards training course curriculum and 3) Compare executive function skill of early childhood before and after learning experiences management. The research method was experimental research design, utilizing the…

Within the world of university education, gamification, being the amalgamation of game to non gaming contexts, has gained attentions as an innovative teaching strategy particularly in the English as a second language (ESL) teaching. Deciding to use this mixed methods study to investigate the effect of gamification on student motivation and…

Children with intellectual disabilities often find acquiring age-appropriate reading skills difficult. We evaluated the impact of a structured online reading intervention on the reading skills of children aged 5-11 years in special educational needs (SEN) schools in England. A two-armed cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) compared…

Despite extensive research suggesting the importance of students developing strong foundational math skills during early grades, more than 60% of 4th graders in the United States lack proficiency in mathematics. Such data are influenced by several factors, including summer learning loss in math, negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and a…

Cultural practices in Pakistan often contribute to the perpetuation and normalization of bullying and displays of power dominance, resulting in the behavior being disregarded or not recognized as socially unacceptable. In the educational environments in Pakistan, taunting and insults are widespread. However, in Pakistan, the bullies often go…

One of the institutionalized collaborative practices among teachers and other educators is the conduct of lesson study (LS). Considering the growing interest in the potential of LS to improve the quality of education through collaboration, it is worth exploring its potential contribution to enhancing the teaching competencies of teachers. This…

Educational researchers are increasingly evaluating intervention effects on educator outcomes -- such as knowledge, beliefs, and practice -- as an important precursor to intervention-induced change in children's learning and development within educational settings. This may yield important insights into intervention efficacy, feasibility, and…

While generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are gradually being integrated into educational practice, their actual usability in classroom settings remains insufficiently understood. This mixed-methods research was designed as a small-sample pilot study, offering preliminary insights to inform a future large-scale scientific evaluation. The…
