This article presents a 3-D medical simulation that employs reinforcement learning (RL) and interactive RL (IRL) to teach and assess the procedure of donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE). The simulation is motivated by the need for effective, safe, and remote training techniques in medicine, particularly in light of the COVID-19…

This classroom study investigated the effectiveness of form-focused instruction and peer feedback training to improve grammatical accuracy and thereby maximize learning opportunities during peer interaction. Eighty-seven third-semester learners of German were assigned to a PI group (peer interaction only), an FFI group (peer interaction and…

Students' behavioral and academic needs are interrelated, and educators may maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of their classroom practice by intentionally integrating academic instruction and positive behavior support practices within an integrated multi-tiered system of support (I-MTSS) framework. Integrated classroom practices are…

This two-part study describes a learning exercise including a video and a worksheet designed to raise students' awareness of the need to evaluate the completeness of references generated by ChatGPT. The first part of the study assesses the completeness and relevance of academic references generated by ChatGPT using four prompts and three versions…

In this article, I argue for centralizing revision in FYC classrooms, thereby establishing it as the vital component of composition that it is. I show that engagement with revision in FYC courses tends to be minimal, relegated to the end of a project, or completely omitted. These low standards for revision pedagogy can result in students not…

The present study examined the relative effect of direct and indirect written corrective feedback (WCF) on L2 learning and the mediating role of language anxiety in the effectiveness of these two types of WCF. Forty-five Chinese L2 learners of English were randomly assigned to three experimental conditions: direct WCF (n = 15), indirect WCF (n =…

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate how tutors approached second language (L2) errors when working with advanced graduate students in structured one-on-one feedback sessions. Method: The longitudinal, qualitative case study used data from immediate, retrospective tutor reflections and in-session interactions to follow two…

Argumentative problem solving in mathematics classrooms is a crucial practice that supports important student learning goals via collaborative deliberation and consensus building, but also places substantial cognitive and affective demands on both students and teacher. In this in-depth qualitative study, we considered how students' emotions during…

Engaging with learner errors in mathematics classrooms is an important aspect of teacher pedagogy which can support learner identification with mathematics. This study examined the opportunities that teachers provided for the construction of learner identities based on how the teachers spoke about and interacted with learner errors in two…

The aim of this study was to examine prospective science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge in terms of their approach to error. For this purpose, a data collection tool consisting of 5 questions for conceptual understanding of electrical circuits and steps containing correct and incorrect explanations for each question was prepared and…

This paper presents the results of a 2021 exploratory investigation concerning factors that influence online learner reticence toward the application of corrective feedback relating to the writing style sanctioned by the American Psychological Association. The research question for the qualitative case study explored reasons for a disinclination…

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are an integral part of the instructional personnel in undergraduate general chemistry courses. Professional development programs for GTAs are well-established across STEM disciplines ranging from two-day to week-long sessions, covering a wide variety of topics, ranging from pedagogy and safety standards to…

This study investigated the relative effectiveness of immediate and delayed corrective feedback on the acquisition of -ing/-ed participial adjectives by Spanish English-as-a-foreign-language learners in video-based computer-mediated communication. Fifty-two participants took part in a communicative task in one of four groups (two experimental and…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of using the wrongly read and written words in sentences on correcting the reading and writing errors of students with learning disabilities. The study group of this research, which was designed according to the qualitative action research, consisted of 13 second grade students and 7 primary…

Background: Students make many errors in visual programming. In order to learn from these, it is important that students regulate their emotions and view errors as learning opportunities. Aims: This study aimed to explore to what extent momentary emotions, specifically enjoyment, anxiety and boredom, as well as the error learning orientation of…
