AI's opportunities and potential high-risk consequences for individuals and societies render mass AI literacy imperative. MOOCs are one effective conduit for its provision. However, MOOCs remain epistemologically one-sided when lifelong learning steadily shifts towards a reflexive epistemology whereby subjectivities and expert knowledge intersect,…

Inclusive education, crucial for human rights and sustainable development, focuses on integrating and empowering students of varying needs and abilities. Understanding the interaction between Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Differentiated Instruction (DI) is key for educators and stakeholders to implement inclusive strategies effectively.…

Higher education institutions have recently increased the number of online courses offered to students. A need exists to understand student success within asynchronous self-paced online education programs. This study explores the factors that impact student success in the Independent Study Program (iStudy) at the University of Mississippi,…

Differentiated instruction has been shown to meet the needs of diverse learners, and can meaningfully improve individual student learning, however many teachers find it challenging to implement. This paper reports on a targeted professional development programme which was undertaken as a collaborative action research project. Results show many…

The application of artificial intelligence in physical education (AIPE) has provided new ways to improve learning and teaching activities in physical classes. However, literature reviews that provide a systematic review and analysis of AIPE are limited. To address this gap, this study provided an overview of AIPE-related empirical research.…

Guided reading is a teaching practice many teachers utilize to provide differentiated reading instruction to small groups of learners. During guided reading, students read instructional leveled texts with teacher support. This research synthesis examines student-centered outcomes resulting from guided reading instruction over 20 years spanning…

Personalization in education describes instruction that is tailored to learners' interests, attributes, or background and can be applied in various ways, one of which is through choice.

Differentiated Instruction (DI) is recognized as an effective method for addressing varied student learning needs within a single classroom. However, integrating DI into teaching practices remains a challenge for many teachers. This non-experimental study employs a quantitative comparative design to examine the understanding and implementation of…

Stereotype threat (ST) is implicated as a contributory factor to attrition in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) fi elds. One of the mechanisms by which ST degrades performance is by impairing metacognitive monitoring (Schmader et al. 2008), which is positively related to learning and performance (Hadwin et al., 2017; Winne &…

Purpose: Research has provided powerful evidence that what teachers do in the classroom matters most for the learning of students.
