Since the phenomenal success of deep neural networks (DNNs) on image classification, the research community have been developing wider and deeper networks with complex components for a variety of visual understanding tasks. While such "heavy" models achieve excellent performance, they pose two main challenges: (1) the training requires a…

Undergraduate university students experience a knowledge gap when required to use unfamiliar software applications without the benefit of direct instruction. As a solution, students often turn to online support, particularly video, but little is known about students' perceptions of the effectiveness of support videos. As libraries are a principle…

This study examined factors of implementation in clinical practice across the world of the Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy, an evidence-based parent-mediated therapy. Data were gathered via a survey administered to professionals trained in Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy and parents with whom they worked. The study was a mixed-method…

Purpose: The present study aims to analyse the presumed relationship between VLC use and students' grades. Design/methodology/approach: The research strategy unfolds as a case study (Yin, 1994), framed by how undergraduate students of pharmaceutical sciences used video lecture capture (VLC) and the impact of VLC on pedagogic differentiation.…

Generative videos for educational purposes have become a cutting-edge tool that uses advanced technology to create dynamic and interactive content. This study aims to conduct a scientometric analysis of generative videos for educational purposes using both VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer. Results and conclusions: The research findings indicate that…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, streaming media technology has emerged as a transformative force, particularly in distance education. This study explores the integration of streaming media into university English teaching, focusing on enhancing real-time interaction, personalization, and student engagement. Despite significant…

Complex competences, such as managing students' aggressive behaviour, are challenging to develop during teacher training. Recently, video-based simulations have been considered promising, yet suitable assessment instruments are limitedly available. This paper reports on the design and evaluation of a video-based assessment tool tailored to measure…

Background: Computer programming learning and education play a critical role in preparing a workforce equipped with the necessary skills for diverse fields. ChatGPT and YouTube are technologies that support self-directed programming learning. Objectives: This study aims to examine the sentiments and primary topics discussed in YouTube comments…

This article describes the motivation, aims, and consequent processes involved in designing an engaging and informative animated educational video that explains the historical exploitation of the Mount Dagushan iron ore mine in China. The mine is recognised as the deepest in China. It has been the source of raw material for the Anshan Steel…

Empirical evidence has consistently shown that interactive questions are an effective strategy for strengthening student learning through instructional videos. However, research has not directly addressed the crucial question of whether the beneficial effects of interactive questions in instructional videos are attributable to the presence of…

This study investigated the effectiveness of TikTok videos in enhancing Grade 9 Technology learners' understanding of food processing. Grounded in constructivist theory, the research employed a mixed-method approach using a Concurrent Embedded Design. A total of 120 learners were sampled from three schools within the Lebowakgomo Circuit, Limpopo,…

Conversation analysis (CA) has become increasingly prevalent in early childhood education research interested in exploring children's everyday interactions with others. Positioning CA as a creative methodology, this article demonstrates one practical and applied way of 'doing' CA research with early childhood teacher-practitioners that facilitates…

Story-time serves as an interactive linguistic tool through which parents encourage their children to share narratives. Grounded in sociocultural and narrative theories, this study employed a visual ethnographic approach to explore how parents perceive and engage in story-time interactions within 33 Chinese families. Data were collected through…

A critical component of early childhood development, evidence links learning through play with a wide range of child outcomes, including creative problem solving. As such, a small but growing body of evidence has started to shine a light on the ways high-quality educational media, embedded with playful learning, can support young children's…

This mixed-methods study presents an Asian perspective on the impact of a science video creation workshop as an intervention on the technology adoption and utilization of pre-service science teachers. It aims to offer insights relevant to Initial Teacher Education programs in international contexts, including those in Europe and North America,…
