While generative artificial intelligence (AI) empowers students in their learning, it may also have the potential to undermine their learning agency. Understanding student learning agency in the generative AI-supported contexts (SLA-GAI) has become critical for educators. However, student learning agency is a domain-specific construct, current…

At the beginning of the 21st century, "number sense" was listed as one of the core words in the mathematics curriculum of compulsory education in China, and it has now become one of the core competencies of primary school mathematics. It is necessary to determine the development of number sense of first-grade primary school students (6-7…

In this article, we discuss the learning processes of our feminist fiction-based research, which makes visible the often forgotten and essentialized stories of Toronto-based women World War II workers. We describe this gendered war work through the lenses of intersectional feminism and feminist antimilitarism. We detail the power of fiction-based…

This book explores the multifaceted concept of learner voice in education, emphasising its significance across various contexts and historical periods. It brings together diverse perspectives from multiple authors, addressing how learner agency can shape educational practices and policies, particularly in contemporary settings. The chapters delve…

This study examines the needs assessment of design thinking to enhance innovative design competency in preservice teachers' learning management in Thailand. The research aimed to assess teaching performance and identify key areas for developing innovative design competency. A total of 346 pre-service teachers from universities across four regions…

In the past decades, society in general has become strongly diverse. This change also affects schools. As a result, learning groups cannot be seen as homogeneous and taught in this way. One of the challenges is students' linguistic skills. Dealing with different linguistic competencies should not only be a focus of formal education in schools but…

Recently, the field of adaptive learning has significantly attracted researchers' interest. Learning path adaptation problem (LPA) is one of the most challenging problems within this field. It is also a well-known combinatorial optimization problem, its main target is the knowledge resources sequencing offered to a specific learner with a specific…

In recent years, the academic industry has seen a widespread development of digital technology and learning analytics. Certainly, the exchange of automatic processing has opened a broad set of new ways and opportunities, allowing additional emphasis on interaction and connectivity. This new learning approach provides improvement in the development…

A central goal of science education reform is for students to participate in scientific sense making rather than to merely acquire science facts. However, even in classrooms utilizing reform-based pedagogies, students are typically allowed to construct knowledge only insofar as they construct expected knowledge. In this report and reflection, we…

Attempting to guess an answer to a memory question has repeatedly been shown to benefit memory for the answer compared to merely reading what the answer is, even when the guess is incorrect. In this study, we investigate 2 potential explanations for this effect in a single experimental procedure. According to the semantic explanation, the benefits…

Advancements in learning analytics allow teachers to track student learning progress and promote learning by providing necessary intervention and support. Multiple data sources are involved in learning analytics, and the major ones are systems that students use in school. To fully comprehend the progress of student learning, out-of-school learning…

Teacher- and student-generated sketches can spawn meaningful note-taking and instructional processes for enhancing learning and knowledge retention.

Complexity Theory (CT) provides a useful framework for understanding Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Using an ecological model, CT studies the dynamic processes of change and emergent outcomes over time, tracing back how trajectories may have been affected by changes in and interactions among multiple variables and subsystems. Language learners…

A successful flipped classroom relies heavily on student engagement in pre-class learning and their active participation in classroom activities. However, much to students' disappointment, their efforts in the learning process often go unnoticed in traditional assessment approaches (such as term papers and final examinations) that are more…

This paper argues the nature of adult foreign or second language (L2) vocabulary learning and points out the importance of word-form learning at the initial stage of vocabulary development. The Type of Processing-Resource Allocation (TOPRA) model is introduced as a prominent theoretical framework to capture it. Finally, some future studies are…
