Young learners' vocabulary learning needs interaction with language input when they are engaged in an activity. Given that AI-supported image recognition technologies offer hands-on learning in authentic contexts, and that self-regulated learning (SRL) enables learners to monitor and evaluate their learning when interacting with multi-sensory…

The aim of this article is to develop knowledge about recently arrived students' agency in learning science in upper secondary school in Sweden. The material was created through observations of science lessons and stimulated-recall interviews with four students. Findings showed that the multimodal and multilingual practices students were involved…

Seventeen students with severe disability (ages 5 to 18) were assessed on Foundation Outcome Statement (FOS) Skills and subsequently exposed to an interactive multi-sensory environment which included equipment for light and visual stimulation and touch/tactile activities.

Five- and nine-year olds' (N=80) television viewing and program recall in response to learning instructions were examined. Instructions affected visual-emphasis program segments only; visual orientation and cued recall increased in younger children; and free recall and cued recall were enhanced in older children.
