Since its inception in 2011, Learning Analytics has matured and expanded in terms of reach (e.g., primary and K-12 education) and in having access to a greater variety, volume and velocity of data (e.g. collecting and analyzing multimodal data). Its roots in multiple disciplines yield a range and richness of theoretical influences resulting in an…

How can students use AI as a tool to assist them in the learning process? More importantly, how are students using AI and how is it impacting their learning? The purpose of this research study was to explore and understand the perceptions of students' experiences with AI tools and how it has impacted their learning experience. As AI continues to…

Multimedia learning takes place when people learn from images and words together. Research and theory from cognitive psychology, social psychology, and instructional design have all been used to propose and investigate specific design principles for effective multimedia learning. Research has demonstrated that applying even one of these principles…

This paper poses the question 'What can we learn from the person-centred counselling literature which could be used by the action learning facilitator to help benefit the set?'. This question may be particularly important to facilitators seeking new ways to run their sets and to facilitators who would like to introduce a more humanistic and less…

Continuous improvement is the process of making incremental changes to systems or processes to improve outcomes. The purpose of this dissertation was to conduct a study to learn how continuous improvement might serve as a vehicle for further conceptualizing profound learning theory at the individual learner level. The research began with a…

The purpose of this study is to explore a theoretical idea in relation to a body of empirical material from a reading activity involving a picturebook on shadow. The theoretical idea, sprung from variation theory, entails children's discernment through synchronic simultaneity as a key to their ability to imagine. To explore this idea, an analysis…

Counselors-in-training require continuous opportunities to reflect on strengths and growing edges. Applying experiential learning theory and the Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation debriefing framework could optimize learning and provide counselor educators with a roadmap to develop a reflective practice within the context…

Despite arguments that learning processes are drivers of sustainability transitions, the dynamics of how learning processes take place in everyday life and influence practices remain unclear. An analytical framework for exploring these dynamics is developed in this article. I argue to build the framework on basis of theoretical concepts that shed…

This study focused on the impact of socioeconomic status through the experiences of telecommute workers from a healthcare insurance provider. The aim of the study is to analyze the influence these factors impose on personal growth in the job role of a telecommuting worker through the eyes of Texas telecommute workers in the healthcare industry.…

This work explores the use of learning theories in curriculum development and gathers evidence for what good practice in this area looks like. By exploring the academic literature in this area, the authors hope to find information that curriculum documents do not provide. The following research questions were proposed: (1) Is there evidence of…

This book dissects the relationship between the disciplines of Psychology and Education Studies to provide a new and critical perspective on the usefulness of psychological research and theory for educational purposes. Assuming that affective states form an important part of how humans relate to their environment, this book posits that the…

Although the fields of educational data mining and learning analytics have grown significantly in terms of analytical sophistication and the breadth of applications, the impact on theory-building has been limited. To move these fields forward, studies should not only be driven by learning theories, but should also use analytics to in form and…

The concept of literacy is relevant in many areas of life, both inside and out of the classroom. With science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) being fast-growing fields, STEM literacy in particular holds an important place in today's education system and beyond. While there is not a single definition for STEM literacy, it is impacted by…

There are two main approaches to how statistical patterns are extracted from sequences: The transitional probability approach proposes that statistical learning occurs through the computation of probabilities between items in a sequence. The chunking approach, including models such as PARSER and TRACX, proposes that units are extracted as chunks.…

The emergence of educational technologies has spurred research interest in exploring effective ways to enhance human learning in digital environments. Social Learning Theory (SLT), as a crucial theory that offers a conceptual framework for understanding the role of human agency in learning, can shed light on the underlying mechanisms of learners'…
