Emotional labour is the process by which employees regulate emotions to manage their expressions in accordance with their professional role. Early childhood educators' emotional labour is relatively under-explored and unacknowledged, with understandings about the wellbeing implications of such work limited. This paper reports findings from a study…

Through relying on limited and prescribed modes of expression, summative assessment can both create and exacerbate inequities in higher education. In this article, an instructor of an undergraduate education course and three student co-authors who completed the course discuss how the students' choice to use multimodality in their final portfolios…

Although many scholars have conducted studies on language learning strategies (LLS) around the world, little scholarly work reports on the LLS used by multilingual English learners. Moreover, most of those prior studies have been carried out employing exclusively quantitative methods. In response to these gaps, the present study adopts a…

Programming demands a variety of cognitive skills, and mastering these competencies is essential for success in computer science education. The importance of formative feedback is well acknowledged in programming education, and thus, a diverse range of techniques has been proposed to generate and enhance formative feedback for programming…

Music is a powerful medium to study emotion recognition. However, findings are mixed regarding the proficiency of young children to detect emotion conveyed by music. Moreover, we lack knowledge about music emotion recognition and callous-unemotional traits, which portend risk for externalizing problems. The current study examined the performance…

The detrimental effects of negative emotional states on teachers' professional performance have triggered numerous researchers to study these variables and their potential interactions within second and foreign language classes. Nonetheless, most scholars have examined negative emotional states and their possible associations through monolithic…

The current insertion of Machine Learning (ML) in our everyday life demonstrates the importance of introducing the teaching of a basic understanding of ML already in school. Accompanying this trend arises the need to assess the students' learning of ML, yet so far only a few assessment models have been proposed, most of them rather simple, based…

With three groups of first-grade French children, we tested different spelling teaching strategies, and notably the effectiveness of individualized teaching approach adapted to each child's pace of learning and words already known, compared with traditional strategies identical for all children. An experimental group was offered individualized…

The moral foreign-language effect (MFLE) suggests biases present when making moral decisions in the native language are not present in the foreign language. However, the literature using explicit dilemmas shows inconsistent findings. The present study investigates whether MFLE has its origin in the reduced emotion hypothesis. Instead of the…

While researchers in recent years have exhibited a burgeoning interest in studying writing practices beyond formal contexts, the purpose of informal writing appears to be constrained primarily to recreational activities or interpersonal communication, thus overlooking its potential impact on enhancing formal writing competence. The present…

So far, modeling approaches for not-reached items have considered one single underlying process. However, missing values at the end of a test can occur for a variety of reasons. On the one hand, examinees may not reach the end of a test due to time limits and lack of working speed. On the other hand, examinees may not attempt all items and quit…

Providing feedback on student work is a fundamental aspect of instruction and an important part of the learning process. A considerable amount of literature describes the pedagogical value of different types of feedback--explicit vs. implicit, comprehensive vs. selective, direct vs. indirect, and feedback on content vs. feedback on form--thus…

This article explores the problems associated with a pedagogy of severity, which influences how teachers read and respond to student papers, and suggests that reflection, especially reflection-in-action, can be useful to writing instructors as they respond to their students' texts. Reflection-in-action, or the reflection that occurs while one is…

Several recent studies have employed item response theory (IRT) to rank incorrect responses to commonly used research-based multiple-choice assessments. These studies use Bock's nominal response model (NRM) for applying IRT to categorical (nondichotomous) data, but the response rankings only utilize half of the parameters estimated by the model.…

The present study firstly assesses how students can develop and improve the skills of listening and reading through personalized feedback. Secondly, it evaluates the motivational effects of the use of Audience Response Systems (ARS) in English lessons in comparison with the lessons where these electronic devices are not used. In three sessions, 68…
