Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in case studies and surveys by researchers of second language acquisition (SLA) and cognitive (neuro-)science to probe into the group of exceptionally talented multilingual learners or polyglots who can understand and speak an impressive number of multiple foreign languages other than their own mother…

The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between teachers' emotional intelligence and their openness to change. A literature review was conducted regarding the topic, and the concepts of openness to change and emotional intelligence were examined. Attempts were made to explain the importance and causes of openness to change, plus…

Internet search engines have empowered citizens in their quest for seeking insights on a multitude of issues. Knowledge curation and evidence review requires systematic and rigorous fact-finding, baseline subject matter expertise, and the right tool to work at scale. Finding and summarizing knowledge has a direct impact on the research and…

This paper deals with a solution allowing digital universities to extend the functionalities of their distance learning platform to offer a secure solution for the dematerialization of assessments. Currently we are witnessing the rise of digital universities, this is the case in Africa, particularly in Senegal. We are witnessing strong growth in…

Due to the advances of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing, new kinds of Internet-based writing tools have emerged. Among other things, these AI-powered writing tools can be used by students for text translation, to improve spelling or for rewriting and summarizing texts. On the one hand, they can provide detailed…

Digital Study Assistants (DSA) are an emerging type of software that combines web-based software architectures, various data sources, and algorithms from artificial intelligence (AI) to assist learners in improving their learning-related behaviors. In this paper, we summarize the implementation and results of a field study with a DSA for…

This research explores the emerging field of data science from the scientometric, curricular, and altmetric perspectives and addresses the following six research questions: 1.What are the scientometric features of the data science field? 2.What are the contributing fields to the establishment of data science? 3.What are the major research areas of…

The general problem in this study is that teachers are experiencing burnout, a syndrome expressed by emotional exhaustion. The specific problem in this study was the efficacy of how school districts, particularly Denver Public Schools (DPS), used professional development (PD) to improve the emotional management strategies that positively…

With the massive use of new learning technologies, such as mobile learning through on-line platforms, or more "traditional" live classes taught through virtual meeting platforms, the interaction between students and teachers can be poor or limited. The professor can monitor the students' reactions and appreciation with the use of polls,…

Higher education administrators today are simultaneously encountering first-year college students that are struggling to handle common challenges and parents intervening on behalf of their college children. With the ongoing emerging adult mental and emotional health crisis, parental involvement continues to be on the rise. The occurrences of the…

Background: For decades, education researchers have relied on the work of Campbell, Cook, and Shadish to help guide their thinking about valid impact estimates in the social sciences (Campbell & Stanley, 1963; Shadish et al., 2002). The foundation of this work is the "validity typology" and its associated "threats to…

Nowadays, technologies involving nanoparticles, colloids, sensors, and artificial intelligence are widespread in society, media, and industry. It is thus mandatory to integrate them into the curricula of students enrolled in chemistry and materials science. To this purpose, we designed a simple assay for the detection of glutathione (GSH) using…

Probabilistic machine learning increasingly informs critical decisions in medicine, economics, politics, and beyond. To aid the development of trust in these decisions, we develop a taxonomy delineating where trust in an analysis can break down: (1) in the translation of real-world goals to goals on a particular set of training data, (2) in the…

Social and Emotional Competence (SEC) is comprised of five main components: self awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Within the context of K-12 education, SEC is typically explored through the lens of student achievement or student progress. This area of research is noteworthy as…

The purpose of this qualitative single case study was to explore how higher education leaders at a public university in the Southeast United States employed cultural intelligence and transformational leadership to successfully foster organizational innovations to adapt to their growing multicultural student context. The objective of this study was…
