The Vlogs on YouTube have been excellent sources to satisfy craving for mystical and enigmatic distant land detached of our immediate surroundings. Despite the benefits of free world tours in high definition videos, many of the vloggers' framing of the distant land and culture for the purpose of crafting interesting and attractive travelling…

This study investigated the relative effectiveness of immediate and delayed corrective feedback on the acquisition of -ing/-ed participial adjectives by Spanish English-as-a-foreign-language learners in video-based computer-mediated communication. Fifty-two participants took part in a communicative task in one of four groups (two experimental and…

Much guidance on how to identify and contact a doctoral supervisor can be found on YouTube. There is a wealth of advice videos presented by 'insiders' including students, academics, consultants and institutional representatives. This article explores such 'find a supervisor' videos, characterising them as texts in the broader genre of doctoral…

Purpose: This study adopts a qualitative approach to a critical media analysis of the multifaceted aspects of child marriage in the Yemeni context as an example of the broader Arab context. It seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the current situation, underlying causes and consequences of child marriage, as well as efforts to curb the…

Purpose: This research examined the impact of two physical educators' appearance and sex on elementary school students' learning and teacher perceptions. Method: Four videos consisting of female informal appearance, female formal appearance, male informal appearance, and male formal appearance were created. A content examination and a perception…

This article provides robust empirical evidence for the association between science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and student achievement. Unlike previous studies, we employed two approaches (text-based vs. video-based tests) to assess if, and to what extent, teachers' PCK assessed by these two approaches are related to student…

Storytelling is a valuable form of human expression that allows audience members to connect their own experiences with the narrative. As a pedagogical tool, storytelling has been explored mainly in primary school education but rarely in higher education. However, its potential for assisting students in learning mathematics and the societal…

Advances in technology have made it increasingly easy for teachers to film and share video recordings from their own classrooms, and much research exists highlights the rich learning that can occur when teachers watch and discuss video. Here, Miriam Gamoran Sherin, Jennifer Richards, and Mari Altshuler examine the opportunities for learning that…

The electron transport chain (ETC) is a challenging topic due to the complexity of the reaction that occurs at the molecular level because the students cannot directly interact with the reaction at this level. The use of animated video and flipped learning in improving student understanding of this topic was evaluated. The students were randomly…

This study sought to reduce the within classroom transition time of eight students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). For the first known time in an experimental study, music (song) was deliberately used within a video modeling intervention to reduce the time taken for all students to transition from a daily morning meeting to learning centers.…
