Despite their crucial roles, there is no unified terminology either in Turkey or internationally; terms such as "facilitator," "shadow teacher," or "teacher assistant" are used…

The highly adaptive testing (HAT) design is introduced as an alternative test design for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The principle of HAT is to be as adaptive as possible when selecting items while accounting for PISA's nonstatistical constraints and addressing issues concerning PISA such as item position effects.…

Many international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) have switched to multistage adaptive testing (MST) designs to improve measurement efficiency in measuring the skills of the heterogeneous populations around the world. In this context, previous literature has reported the acceptable level of model parameter recovery under the MST designs when the…

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been increasingly recognised for their transformative potential in education. However, limited research has examined the emotional and behavioural impacts of AI-powered robots on students. To bridge this gap, the present study explored whether instruction supported by AI-powered robots enhances…

This study assessed the direct and indirect effects of Supporting Knowledge in Language and Literacy (SKILL), a narrative intervention designed to improve oral and written narrative abilities in school-age children with or at risk for language and reading disorders.

Critical professional development (CPD) facilitates creative, empowering teacher practice and racial justice accountability. This paper extends United States' CPD literature through a qualitative critical race analysis of a 1-year Canadian teacher education anti-racist cross-racial mentorship project. Focus groups with 13 teacher candidate (TC)…

Mathematics is often presented as a neutral language of numbers, yet the ways in which ideas are recognised, interrogated, redesigned, and judged are deeply political. I synthesise critical pedagogy, Critical Mathematics Education, and decolonial scholarship to propose an epistemic-legitimation cycle with four stages. Through two vignettes: an…

Purpose: This study aims to share findings from the Critical English Educators Collaborative, a virtual community of practice for novice English Language Arts middle and secondary educators. Three teacher educators explore the ways in which they can support new teachers through the "two-worlds pitfall" (Feiman-Nemser and Buchmann, 1985)…

The authors explored the relationship between subjective social class (SSC) and subjective well-being (i.e., life satisfaction, positive/negative affect) to examine whether self-esteem would mediate this relationship for 275 college students and whether such mediation would be affected by participants' critical consciousness (CC). Two elements of…

Research has shown that the context of practice tasks can have a significant impact on learning, with long-term retention and transfer improving when tasks of different types are mixed by interleaving (abcabcabc) compared with grouping together in blocks (aaabbbccc). This study examines the influence of context via interleaving from a psychometric…
