The COVID-19 pandemic led the United Kingdom (UK) into a national lockdown in March 2020. The UK government has acknowledged that children and young people (CYP) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) were left behind during the pandemic. This integrative literature review aims to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on…

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to explore the reflective practices of educators in blended learning environments, specifically in interdisciplinary courses, and to understand how these practices impact student engagement and learning outcomes. Background: Blended learning, combining online and face-to-face instruction, has become increasingly…

Background/purpose: This study explores the development and implementation of interactive animated e-books as a transformative digital learning tool. It analyzes their pedagogical and cognitive effects on learner participation and understanding. The study is oriented towards how multimedia integration, interactive storytelling, and adaptive…

The rapid evolution of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is transforming science education by facilitating innovative pedagogical paradigms while raising substantial concerns about scholarly integrity. One particularly pressing issue is the growing risk of student use of GenAI tools to outsource assessment tasks, potentially compromising…

This book brings together a team of leading international scholars to explore the rich inter-section of technology and second language (L2) learning and teaching. This innovative volume offers a unique blend of cutting-edge empirical research, pedagogy-informed perspectives, and practical applications for educators, administrators, and researchers…

Teacher expectation mediates the interaction between teacher and students, and teachers tend to differentiate their interaction with their students based on their expectation. In this study, I explore the mediator role of teacher expectation to the participation of ongoing mathematical discussion. Academic interaction between an 8th grade…

Integrating education practices and measurements of brain activity has the potential to make learning more engaging and productive. Direct recordings of electrical activity in the brain provide important information about the complex dynamics of the cognitive processes and mental states that occur during learning, which can ultimately empower…

The present study investigated learners' beliefs about peer interaction (PI) and peer corrective feedback (PCF) in the language classroom. A group of third-semester German learners (the--PCF group) participated in peer interaction activities, specifically conversations and discussions with other learners. Another group of third-semester German…

Universities are trending towards electronic books (e-books) as instructional materials, displacing traditional printed books. The rapid acquisition of e-books has changed the way information is presented and one of the improvements is to make e-books interactive. However, there is an incomplete body of knowledge on how interactive e-books affect…

Based in anthropology (Cole & Knowles, 2001), life history inquiry into literature emphasizes deep understandings of literary characters that are expressed through dramatic performance. For teachers or teacher-educators, life histories offer a powerful teaching strategy. Life histories support locating readers in a particular pattern or…

One of the most pressing issues in online learning systems that have contributed to the failure of online education and student dropout is the lack of interaction. Investigating and exploring the different factors that influence learners' online interaction and engagement are crucial for e-learning success. This study proposes a research model to…

Systems-level consultation and implementation science research has resulted in increased understanding of how to facilitate large-scale use of evidence-based practices. This article aims to build upon what has been learned to-date by calling for consultation researchers to focus more on the human interactions within change processes. The rationale…

Background: Recovery is a widely accepted paradigm in mental health care, whilst the correctional and forensic-psychiatric field is still searching for foundations for its implementation. Knowledge regarding recovery of persons with intellectual disabilities in secure contexts is limited. This study assesses recovery needs and resources among…

Purpose: We present a tripartite view of intelligibility in which the contributions of both the speaker and listener, as well as their joint effort during interaction, are considered. While considerable research has examined communicative interactions in situ, there is a critical gap in current knowledge on how speech intelligibility unfolds…
