The paper argues that learning analytics as a research field can benefit from a theory-informed shared language to describe sensemaking of learning and teaching data. To make the case for such shared language, first, I critically review prominent sensemaking theories to then demonstrate how studies in learning analytics do not use coherent…

This article reports on the release of AI tools that can generate text, images, music, and video with no need for complicated coding but simply in response to instructions given in natural language. AI is also raising pressing ethical questions around bias, appropriate use, and plagiarism. In the realm of education, this technology will influence…

Professors in proof-based mathematics courses often intend that the feedback they provide on students' flawed proofs will promote proof comprehension. In this theoretical article, we investigate how such feedback can be formulated. Drawing on Lakatos's process of proof and refutation, we propose the notion of "heuristic refutation…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has generated a plethora of new opportunities, potential and challenges for understanding and supporting learning. In this paper, we position human and AI collaboration for socially shared regulation (SSRL) in learning. Particularly, this paper reflects on the intersection of human and AI collaboration in SSRL…

Decades of neoliberal capitalism have had a corrosive effect on public education, with implications for both the fiscal realities of education systems and the ideological values guiding curriculum and pedagogy. While the culture of neoliberalism has often been studied, it is equally important to expand analyses of the shifting material conditions…

In this issue, the Harvard Educational Review reprints Giroux's "Theories of Reproduction and Resistance in the New Sociology of Education: A Critical Analysis," which this journal first published in 1983. The construct of resistance in educational spaces continues to be invoked by researchers and the media alike, with different degrees…

This article situates the practice of composing CCCC Accessibility Guides in critical access studies (Hamraie) and introduces the concept of critical access literacies. I argue that CCCC access guides cultivate critical access literacies amongst the guide writers and disabled and nondisabled conference participants, empowering them to better…

Affect (e.g., beliefs, attitudes, emotions) plays a crucial role in mathematics learning, but reliance on verbal and written responses (from surveys, interviews, etc.) limits students' expression of their affective states. As a complement to existing methods that rely on verbal reports, we explore how graphing can be used to study affect during…

Young children seem to pick up words quickly, almost effortlessly, through various media in the early years. Studies have shown that storybooks, TV, screen media, and ebooks can all be sources for incidental word learning without formal instruction. Yet, typically, research has investigated learning from a single medium in isolation or in…

Understanding the affordances that networked platforms offer is a good place to start rethinking our notions of learning. The article discusses how social connectivity has changed, arguing that networking and networks have become foregrounded in how we perceive and experience our (digital) social worlds. Our aim is to understand the nature of…

After the COVID-19 pandemic, both teachers and learners have reached a new understanding in the use of technology. With the change in the understanding of education, their access to technology has become a necessity. The adoption of Internet technologies as a learning tool facilitated the adoption of the metaverse environment. One of the most…

Educators consider the development of problem-solving skills in learners to be a primary goal of contemporary teaching and learning efforts. Yet, participating in problem-centered instruction is challenging for learners, and educators have sought different ways of supporting learners as they make sense of complex content. Social media applications…

This paper explores the concept of Flipped Mastery as an innovative approach to education that allows for the customization of learning experiences to meet each student's unique needs and preferences. To create a student-centered and personalised educational environment, Flipped Mastery blends the ideas of flipped learning with mastery-based…

Use of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) in education has become more widespread in recent years. This article explores what VR, AR, and MR are and the benefits and barriers they may have with regard to early learning. Deepening the understandings of these digital tools will help inform principals, teachers,…
