At a time when language trainers need to determine how best to integrate new digital tools that provide students with linguistic information, our aim in this article is to assess the potential value of information provided by two types of tools now widely used by students: machine translation via online translators and state-of-the-art generative…

We examined how Learning Analytics literature represents participants from diverse societies by comparing the studies published with samples from WEIRD (Western, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) nations versus non-WEIRD nations. By analyzing the Learning Analytics studies published during 2015-2019 (N = 360), we found that most of the studies…

This investigation underscores the significant impact of PE strategy selection on both the cognitive and operational aspects of translation. Highlighting the critical role of PE skills development in translator education, the study proposes several avenues for further research, including broadening participant demographics, integrating diverse and…

Introduction: Given the global concern for attracting more and better candidates to teaching careers, we must have instruments to help us identify these potential candidates. In Chile, there needs to be more evidence of the motivational and perceptual factors that influence the choice of studies in Education. The aim is to study the psychometric…
