This paper presents an empirical analysis that maps the short-term and middle-to-long-term responses of Italian universities to the COVID-19 crisis by focussing on teaching activities. A representative sample of eighteen public universities was analysed to evaluate how they planned their teaching activities for the 2020-21 and 2021/2022 academic…

There is a growing body of literature which highlights the relationship between classroom talk and learning. However, despite the growing acceptance of the link between talk and student learning, talk remains an undervalued pedagogical practice by many teachers. This is particularly evident in secondary school classrooms. This paper presents the…

Cognitive ability is closely associated with the acquisition of programming skills, and enhancing learners' cognitive ability is a crucial factor in improving the efficacy of programming education. Adaptive feedback strategies can provide learners with personalized support based on their learning context, which helps to stimulate their interest…

Wuxia culture has deep historical roots in traditional Chinese culture and is an important manifestation of the national spirit and social values. This study explores the cultural representation mechanism of Wuxia animation characters and analyzes their educational functions and communication paths. Current research on Wuxia animation is…

The literature has revealed the impact of personal factors on feedback-seeking behavior (FSB) in second language (L2) writing. However, little is known about how teacher academic support influences FSB in L2 writing and whether this relationship is mediated by L2 writing self (ideal and ought-to L2 writing selves). To address the lacunae, this…

The purpose of this phenomenographic study was to examine the different ways in which a group of research assistants who varied by university, department and gender understand the anger they feel towards the faculty members with whom they interact. Phenomenographic analysis was conducted on data obtained through face-to-face, semi-structured…

Bullying victimization is a very common, complex, and potentially damaging form of violence among children and adolescents. Bullying is defined as unwanted, aggressive behavior, which involves a real or perceived social power imbalance. One in 10 public schools reports at least one case of serious violent crime, such as aggressive bullying,…

Online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic compelled many instructors to seek efficient and effective ways to stay connected with their students and improve the learning experience by using a wide range of available technologies. This multiple-case study, in three South-East Asian universities, investigated whether the use of technology in…

This study outlines how handwritten reflection cards lead to the retention of the Japanese kana alphabets. Handwriting is said to help improve retention of the Japanese alphabets. Currently, in-person classes provide most of the materials and assignments via the university's Learning Management System (LMS), and students have the choice to…

This study explores the role of teachers' social support in students' emotional and cognitive presences in online learning. Two-hundred and seventy-one Chinese university students were surveyed with an online questionnaire on their perceived social support, emotional presence, and cognitive presence. Partial least squares structural equation…

During online group learning, students constantly encounter socio-emotional challenges that can trigger negative social emotions. These emotions weaken their psychological safety, disrupt communication, strain peer relationships, and ultimately lower productivity and contribution to group tasks. As a result, their attitude towards group learning…

Many AIED systems support self-regulated learning, yet, support for setting and achieving practice goals has received little attention. We examine how middle school students respond to system-recommended practice goals, building on the success of similar data-driven recommendations in other domains. We introduce an adaptive dashboard in an…

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may face challenges with reporting past behavior. Although some behavior-analytic studies have shown success with increasing these reports, the use of materials within activities that do not repeat has not been assessed (e.g., Shillingsburg et al., 2017). Thus, the purpose of the current study was to…

Sound waves are one of the important topics studied in physics. However, students' graph representation is still low, leading to their low concept understanding of physics learning. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the learning process to improve students' graph representation by providing a valid and reliable graph representation test…
