Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence have substantially influenced educational practices, including those at the postgraduate level. This study explores whether and how generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) improves postgraduates' creativity in research projects. Qualitative analysis of interviews with 12 participants from…

Implementing and sustaining high-quality early intervention practices depends on access to an evidence-based professional development (PD) model that fits the unique features of the system, providers, and families served. This paper describes and evaluates a 10-month PD sequence for EI providers on Family Guided Routines Based Intervention (FGRBI)…

Generative AI models have demonstrated great promise in a variety of fields, including language learning and translation tasks. This research aims to develop a web-based pronunciation training system using Generative AI techniques to provide real-time feedback and multilingual support. The system leverages advanced AI models including pre-trained…

Despite the increasing integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education, a significant research gap exists in its comparative effectiveness against traditional instructor-led guidance in specialized humanities like philology. This quasi-experimental study compares an experimental group (EG, n = 26), using GenAI chatbots for…

The paper investigates a Hungarian-English bilingual child's Sarah's second language acquisition (SLA) with a special focus on how she integrated English (L2) into her speech to convey the intended meaning and negotiate the multiple identities she developed in her bilingualism in various social contexts. An ethnographic single-case study research…

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of emotional motivational feedback messages given for online homework of secondary school sixth grade students within the scope of Information Technologies and Software course on academic success. The research was quantitatively designed based on quasi-experimental design with pre-test-post-test…

This article examines practice-based teaching methodologies found in the studio-based design critique ('crit'), and how they can be adapted to essay-based modules in the Humanities. Based on a small case study of a masters level module on film theory at a British university, the group crit was introduced as a mode of experiential learning in order…

Although there is an interest in elevating youth voice within school settings, schools remain unprepared for the wide range of expression that may be included in soliciting youth voices, preferring polite expressions over overtly emotional or negative feelings expressed about school. This case study examines boundary setting in a youth voice…

Forced-choice questionnaires have been proposed to avoid common response biases typically associated with rating scale questionnaires. To overcome ipsativity issues of trait scores obtained from classical scoring approaches of forced-choice items, advanced methods from item response theory (IRT) such as the Thurstonian IRT model have been…

Mentoring is an important part of academic life, and is crucial in the relationship between advisor and advisee. This essay lays out what characteristics are most important to sustaining a solid mentoring relationship, based on the author's personal experiences. The characteristics highlighted include trust, candour, responsiveness, time,…

Emotions play a significant part in students' learning experiences within complex educational environments. However, the impact of emotional experiences on effective learning is not straightforward. For example, being confused during learning may be perceived as an adverse event. There is, however, considerable research evidence suggesting that…

Although mastering the art of learning how to learn is considered one of the most important skills for young people, few teens know the basics of how to best learn something. And teachers rarely receive training in how to helps students become successful learners. The author describes seven well-supported techniques for learning anything that…

Single-best answers to multiple-choice items are commonly dichotomized into correct and incorrect responses, and modeled using either a dichotomous item response theory (IRT) model or a polytomous one if differences among all response options are to be retained. The current study presents an alternative IRT-based modeling approach to…

In five experiments, we examined the conditions under which participants remembered true and false information given as feedback. Participants answered general information questions, expressed their confidence in the correctness of their answers, and were given true or false feedback. In all five experiments, participants hyper'corrected' when…

Attitude scales are an important component of educational and psychological research. One consideration when seeking to make valid inferences from attitudinal data is the issue of the degree to which response options can be assumed to have equal intervals. Many response options on attitudinal measures may produce ordinal-level data rather than…
