A later review brought the story up to date (Greer, "International Journal of Artificial…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide numerous open-access learning resources and allow for self-directed learning. The application of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) in MOOCs help comprehend raw educational data and enrich the learning process for students and instructors. Thus, we created two deep neural network models. The first…

Awareness of students' learning status, and maintaining students' focus and attention during class are important issues in classroom management.

Although not all countries show this same effect due to socioeconomic status, it is consistently found that social inequities lead to achievement gaps. These achievement gaps then manifest into trajectories…

A considerable body of research has shown that preschoolers who have a better understanding of emotions also have better social competence. In the present study, we focused on the potential roles that verbal ability and working memory may play in the relationship. A total of 187 4- to 6-year-old preschoolers completed: (i) the Test of Emotion…

The authors report findings on reading and IQ from a contemporary study of 145 individually tested incarcerated men and women in two maximum-security prisons in Louisiana. To their knowledge this study is the first to use the definition of dyslexia from the First Step Act (FSA) and the first to incorporate an IQ measure to differentiate those with…

The authors, in the theoretical part of the paper, define and explain the concept of emotional competence, as well as skills that should be developed and strengthened within the mentioned concept.
