Overparenting--taking over and completing developmentally appropriate tasks for children--is pervasive and hurts children's motivation. Can overparenting in early childhood be reduced by simply framing tasks as learning opportunities? In Study 1 (N = 77; 62% female; 74% White; collected 4/2022), US parents of 4-to-5-year-olds reported taking over…

As learners are able to perceive interactivity when interacting with instructors or peer learners in traditional learning environments, learners are similarly able to perceive interactivity when interacting with artificial intelligence (AI) in AI-supported learning environments. Advancements in AI, such as generative AI including ChatGPT and…

This paper uses the critical realist concept of human reflexivity to dev­elop a theoretical critique of the notion of 'skills' in current policy discourses, particularly in vocational education.

Play is a central feature of childhood and a fundamental right of all children. Currently, our understanding of autistic play is based on a deficit perspective, most often framed in comparison to neurotypical 'norms' and assumptions where the views of the players themselves have been overlooked. In moving towards a strengths-based neuroaffirmative…
