Connor, David J. – Theory Into Practice, 2017
I pose a straightforward rhetorical question about disproportionality and endeavor to answer it with view to suggesting what can be done in terms of linking theory to practice. First, I frame disproportionality by asking where does it come from? Second, I describe multiple, interconnected historical phenomena to be considered when educators…

Prihadi, Kususanto; Tan, Christine Y. H.; Tan, Reimy T. S.; Yong, P. L.; Yong, Jonathan H. E.; Tinagaran, Sharvini; Goh, Chee Leong; Tee, Yu Jin – International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education, 2018
This study aims to study the mediation role of locus of control on the impact of learned helplessness on students' academic procrastination. Studies reported that more than 70% university students procrastinate, and one of the causes is the perception that one is vulnerable or helpless in finishing the procrastinate tasks. It was hypothesized that…

D'Mello, Sidney K. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
There is an inextricable link between attention and learning, yet AIED systems in 2015 are largely blind to learners' attentional states. We argue that next-generation AIED systems should have the ability to monitor and dynamically (re)direct attention in order to optimize allocation of sparse attentional resources. We present some initial ideas…
