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…

Four-month-old infants extract ordinal information in number-based and size-based visual sequences, provided that magnitude changes involve increasing relations. Here the ontogenetic origins of ordinal processing were investigated between 2018 and 2022 by testing newborns' discrimination of reversal in numerosity (Experiment 1, N = 22 White, 11…

The present article continues my work in logomachy and the philosophy of education. It turns to Bernard Stiegler's concept of the 'idiotext' as the means of terming what I have previously called 'particular sets of sense'. The gambit of the article is that 'intropy' (uncertainty provoked by informational complexity) provides a very useful concept…

Learning is always a core activity in forming cognitive abilities and personality traits in people's growth process, and motivation is the key psychological mechanism that drives learning behaviour. Therefore, motivation in learning is an important area of research in educational psychology. It not only determines the initiation and continuation…

This study analyses the coherent integration of creativity into science education modules for eighth-grade students to enhance competence development. The learning modules' content covered a basic ecological unit about forests, applied as digital or analog lesson. By utilizing the creativity subscales 'Act' and 'Flow' its analysis resulted in a…

This study examined the effectiveness of a career course designed to increase career self-efficacy and exploration among undergraduate students from a university in Taiwan. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to compare a group of students who completed high-intensity action-based assignments (experimental group, n = 74) with another group…

The student's perspectives, their personal and professional aspirations are key factors that encourage their achievement of learning objectives during the development of the subjects of the educational programs. All this from Hermans' theory of the dialogic self, to understand how the processes of educational change are perceived, from the visions…

The family plays a vital role in fostering children's learning in science through joint experiences in diverse settings such as homes or museums. Beyond frequency, the quality of parent-child interactions in science significantly influences the children's development. However, research in this area has often focused on single aspects of…

Constructivist instructional approaches have gained significant popularity in education as educators seek to create more engaging and effective learning environments. However, the effectiveness of these approaches in promoting student learning remains a subject of debate. This systematic review aims to synthesise existing evaluation-based research…

This paper describes a research collaboration with Humber Museums Partnership, which explored family museum visiting and early language. Drawing from ethnographic observations and continuous audio recordings, this article examines how very young children make sense in museum spaces. We activate Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the refrain…

As educational paradigms continue to evolve in response to technological advancements, there is growing interest in interdisciplinary approaches that bridge the gap between STEM and the arts. One such emerging area is the integration of robotics into art education, which holds the potential to enrich learning experiences and foster a range of…

This paper investigated the perceptions and knowledge of play-based learning (PBL) by lecturers/tutors and student teachers. Ninety lecturers/tutors (68 males, 22 females) and 363 student teachers (191 males, 172 females) participated in the study. While both lecturers/tutors and student teachers favored PBL, they had some concerns.…

To understand the achievement gaps that persist in our schools despite years of equity initiatives, we must look to the insidious legacy of segregated schools and the deliberate underdevelopment of diverse students' cognitive abilities. Uprooting this "cognitive redlining" requires we reimagine instruction for our most vulnerable…

In uncertain situations, individuals rely on prior experiences of successes and failures to guide future decisions. Research has shown that children exposed to early adversity, such as abuse, can exhibit atypical behaviours in probabilistic learning tasks compared to peers without such experiences, which may have long-term behavioural…

Interventions are crucial in the learning analysis process. Learning analytics-based interventions are being widely applied in the field of education. However, it is currently unclear whether learning analytics-based interventions effectively enhance students' learning effects. To conduct a comprehensive review assessing the extent to which…
