The current educational system relies heavily on manual grading, posing challenges such as delayed feedback and grading inaccuracies. Automated grading tools (AGTs) offer solutions but come with limitations. To address this, "GRAD-AI" is introduced, an advanced AGT that combines automation with teacher involvement for precise grading,…

Background: Previous studies have predominantly investigated the impact of having a child who stutters (CWS) on parents and their associated parent-child relationship. However, there is a gap in the literature regarding the perceptions of stuttering held by siblings living with CWS in Malaysia. Aims: To explore the experiences of fluent siblings…

The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed methods study was to examine faculty perceptions of distance course quality review feedback at a small healthcare-focused college in the United States. The Examining the Evaluator Feedback Survey tool was adapted and used to determine faculty perceptions (N=16) of five key aspects of reviewer…

While the relationship between secure attachment and emotion regulation has been extensively investigated, there is relatively little information about the trajectory of emotion regulation in childhood and whether changes in emotion regulation would mediate the relation between mother-child secure attachment and independence. A latent growth…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to reveal the accuracy of estimation of multiple-choice test items parameters following the models of the item-response theory in measurement. Materials/methods: The researchers depended on the measurement accuracy indicators, which express the absolute difference between the estimated and actual values of the…

Feedback has long been considered a significant lever to enhance learning experience and success in higher education. However, students have shown much discontent with the current feedback practice. Feedback experienced as a relational process in which students feel recognized and valued is perceived as paramount for helping support the uptake of…

Background: People with right hemisphere damage (PwRHD) are often reported to produce tangential or irrelevant utterances. This may be related to their conversational difficulties, including performance in making relevant responses to questions. Clinical interactions represent a major type of communicative activity that PwRHD frequently attend and…

The present study examined the neural correlates of emotion effects evoked by emotion-label and emotion-laden nouns in Chinese-English bilinguals' two languages through the emotion categorization tasks. At the perceptual processing stage, only L2 emotion-label and emotion-laden nouns induced amplified N100 than neutral nouns. At the semantic…

Children alter their drawings in multiple ways depending on whether they are drawing happy, sad or mixed happy and sad experiences. However, their explanations of why they may use features to show emotions may be overlooked in interpretation. The present study therefore used the Draw-Write-Tell paradigm which integrates children's explanations of…

Peer feedback can be highly effective for learning, but only when students give detailed and helpful feedback. Peer feedback systems often support student reviewers through instructor-generated comment prompts that include various scaffolding features. However, there is little research in the context of higher education on which features tend to…

In educational research, the complexity of interventions and the diversity of contexts challenge the adequacy of existing reporting standards, primarily tailored for health interventions and randomised controlled trials. Recognising the critical need for appropriate tools to support education research, we developed two checklists: the CheckList Of…

Learning activities, which blend digital storytelling with peer assessment, foster the development of crucial digital skills. They require students to engage in writing, information gathering, utilizing technology tools, synthesizing information, and providing constructive feedback on their peers' work. This study developed and used digital…

Bullying in schools remains a significant issue that affects all students involved, particularly the parents of gifted students. While the prevalence of bullying among gifted students has been examined, the experiences of parents whose gifted children have been victims of bullying have largely been overlooked. This study explores the bullying…

Making a contribution to knowledge is a cornerstone requirement of the PhD. It requires candidates to provide new understandings about a phenomenon to push the boundaries of an intellectual field. To achieve this 'boundary pushing', the findings offered in the research must have relevance for contexts beyond the site of study. In effect, the…

Acquiescence is the tendency of participants to shift their responses to agreement. Lechner et al. (2019) introduced the following mechanisms of acquiescence: social deference and cognitive processing. We added their interaction into a theoretical framework. The sample consists of 557 participants. We found significant medium strong relationship…
