Because reading comprehension is an important skill that many students struggle with, there is an urgent need to foster it. Few studies have investigated effective comprehension practices within a response-to-intervention design. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of a Tier 1 intervention implemented for 10 weeks on 491 Flemish fifth…

Establishing validated science programs for students with or at risk for learning disabilities requires testing treatment effects and exploring differential response patterns. This study explored whether students' initial mathematics and reading skills influenced their treatment response to a whole-class, second-grade science program called…

Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have shown potential in enhancing educational practices, particularly in technology-assisted learning environments. This study critically evaluates the reasoning capabilities of LLMs, such as ChatGPT, within the context of chemistry education. We designed targeted adversarial prompts that…

We evaluated the efficacy of Early Language Comprehension Individualized Instruction (ELCII), a supplemental computer-based early language comprehension intervention, in improving kindergarten students' inference making performance. In Study 1, students completed ELCII modules over nine weeks, whereas a business-as-usual control group engaged in…

The relationship between AI and literacy education isn't simple. Every tool that makes work more efficient also requires careful consideration. In this measured look at the powerful capabilities of artificial intelligence, literacy experts Mary Ehrenworth and Philip Seyfried take K-12 teachers on a tour of what's possible when AI tools are…

This book examines how a colonial matrix of power is established through temporality in English writing education. It offers discourse analyses of higher educational policies that operate in China and Saudi Arabia and then triangulates this data with conversations with writing teachers from representative Chinese and Saudi universities. Drawing on…

Background/purpose: Education continues to evolve along with technological advances, and one of the biggest changes is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the learning process. The main problem in this study is the lack of in-depth understanding of the factors that influence the effectiveness of using AI in self-paced learning…

Recent English as a foreign language (EFL) research has focused on flipped learning as one of the innovative teaching methods for enhancing language learning quality. Given this recent attention, this study examines the impact of the flipped classroom method on EFL students' reading comprehension. With the use of quasi-experimental mixed method…

This paper presents a methodological approach based on the use of complex networks to analyze the structure and content of curricula. We analyze the concept network built from the final year of a particular high school physics curriculum, as well as that of mathematics. We examine the most central nodes in each case, the community structures…

Group configurations shape social skills and learning outcomes by fostering student interaction and collaboration. Yet, the factors influencing group formation, social cohesion, and group stability have remained understudied in physics education. Here, we examine these factors in a cohort of 90 students from ninth and tenth grades at a private…

Thai EFL teachers need English training, especially in pronunciation, which is essential for efficient communication. This mixed-methods study investigated the effects of differentiated pronunciation instruction via a virtual learning environment (DPV) on 28 primary-school Thai EFL teachers from different regions of Thailand. They voluntarily…

This study focuses on the construction of the learner-centered teaching college English teaching mode under big data technology. Traditional college English teaching has issues, such as standardized teaching ignoring individual differences and lagging feedback. However, the development of big data technology offers opportunities for teaching…

This study investigates the effect of interactive writing strategies on the writing self-efficacy of EFL learners. Employing a quasi-experimental design, sixty participants were assigned to an experimental group engaging in interactive, collaborative writing activities and a control group receiving traditional instruction. The intervention lasted…

In physics learning that emphasizes a student-centered approach, formative feedback strategically improves students' conceptual understanding and learning motivation. However, implementing feedback in the learning environment still faces various obstacles, including time constraints, many students, and a lack of personalization in its delivery.…

Technology-mediated flipped classroom pedagogy has been increasingly adopted at the university level owing to its potential efficacy in improving student engagement and performance while reducing dropout rates. However, at the high-school level, particularly in under-resourced schools, traditional face-to-face teaching which does not promote…
