A bulk of research has been conducted to investigate the relationship of the personality traits of students with their academic achievement in international context. This area, however, has yet been rarely explored in the context of Pakistan. This cross-sectional survey study, therefore, investigated the degree to which selected primary source…

The overarching aim is to explore what teachers perceive as the opportunities provided by using literature in ethics education in compulsory school. When being interviewed, in what ways do the teachers express views on the potential of fiction to encourage students to accept certain human conditions as imaginable, or to create motivation for…

Teachers often use analogies to introduce unfamiliar or complex concepts. However, several studies have found that their knowledge on how to use them is limited or superficial. Similarly, the integration of technological resources in the teaching-learning processes is not always carried out efficiently, which evidences the need to improve…

The prevalence of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has brought about profound changes in the field of reading, resulting in a large and rapidly growing number of young digital readers. The article intends to identify key contextual factors that synergistically differentiate high and low performers, high and average performers, and…

This study documented the standardized tests and informal assessment techniques that school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) reported as most helpful for identifying vocabulary deficits and for monitoring progress. Speech-language pathologists (N = 142) working in U.S. public school settings completed an online survey that included…

With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, automatic writing evaluation (AWE) has received much attention from English Foreign Language (EFL) writing teachers. However, the obstacles and potential problems of integrating AWE in EFL writing instruction have yet to be explored. Scholars have indicated that the effectiveness of AWE in EFL…

Artificial Intelligence is widely used across contexts and for different purposes, including the field of education. However, a review of the literature showcases that while there exist various review studies on the use of AI in education, missing remains a review focusing on science education. To address this gap, we carried out a systematic…

During the pandemic three widespread shifts in teaching cultures affected digital writing pedagogies: resilient teaching, open teaching, and inclusive teaching. Resilient teaching design emerged as a strategy to counter the unpredictability of public health policies on class delivery modes, and emphasised designing for maximising student…

The study examines language dimensions of mathematical word problems and the classification of mathematical word problems according to these dimensions with unsupervised machine learning (ML) techniques. Previous research suggests that the language dimensions are important for mathematical word problems because it has an influence on the…

Challenges of teaching Mathematics include inadequate teachers, over reliance on the talk and chalk method of teaching and inadequate use of instructional materials. These resulted in poor academic performance among secondary school students in Osun State, Nigeria. This study therefore determined the effect of locally developed smart learning…

There is a significant concern about teacher shortages. Teaching requires a lot of dedication. Without dedicated teachers, students' success might only be inspirational ideas. However, district and building-level leadership can help educators build resilience through Emotional Intelligence (EI). EI is defined by Goleman (2014) as "how well we…

This dissertation includes two previous research studies with a central theme to sustain and advance culturally and linguistically responsive practices in literacy instruction, which are essential for promoting diversity and equity.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy skills have become essential to prepare youths for 21st- century needs. Despite the efforts to broaden AI education in K-12 classrooms, teaching AI concepts is mostly limited to Computer Science classrooms. Nonetheless, approximately half of U.S. high school students cannot access any Computer Science classes.…

Purpose: Our study addresses three main questions: (a) Do autistics and neurotypicals produce different patterns of disfluencies, depending on the experimenter's direct versus averted gaze? (b) Are these patterns correlated to gender, skin conductance responses, fixations on the experimenter's face, alexithymia, or social anxiety scores? Lastly,…

The integration of ChatGPT in Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) has emerged as a promising approach to personalized learning in tertiary education. ChatGPT is believed to have the potential to transform traditional higher education into a more personalized, quality-driven, and student-centered learning experience that fosters critical…
