Previous studies suggested that social anxiety is associated with interpretation bias, theory of mind deficit, and eye gaze avoidance when identifying facial emotions. We tested the hypothesis that socially anxious individuals would be more affected by mask use during facial emotion recognition. 88 healthy undergraduates with various levels of…

Caregiver involvement in homework is a key contributor to student success, yet its interaction with intelligent tutoring systems remains underexamined. To address this gap, we conducted a technology probe study exploring how a conversational support tool might enhance caregiver assistance during remote math homework within tutoring systems.…

The article studies the effectiveness of the use of interactive techniques and technologies in the development of social-emotional skills among future elementary school teachers in the process of teaching disciplines of the professional training cycle. It also aims to determine the influence of certain elements of educational programs on the…

Across traditional lab-based science subjects, including biological sciences, most learning is discipline-specific and focused on developing scientific skills and knowledge. However, graduate employers are increasingly demanding that employees have additional skills, including the ability to recognise their own strengths and limitations, a skill…

Objectives: This study addresses the challenges faced by students repeating an introductory programming course (CS1) at an online university, where dropout and failure rates remain high. While programming education has been widely studied, targeted interventions for repeating students remain scarce. Our research aims to analyze the experiences of…

With the continuous development of society, the form of reading has gradually transitioned from traditional paper-based reading to modern digital reading. At the same time, reading that mainly meets leisure and entertainment needs has become an important component of modern life. university students are one of the main groups of leisure digital…

This study aims to explore the types and reasons for teachers' corrective feedback (CF) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes from sociocultural perspectives. To do so, 12 Iranian EFL teachers were selected based on convenience sampling, and 18 sessions of their classes (one or two from each teacher) were observed to ensure that there…

Students struggle to acquire the needed energy understanding to meaningfully participate in the energy discourse about socially relevant topics, such as energy transformation or climate change. Identifying students on differing learning trajectories, as well as differences in knowledge used, is essential to help students achieve the needed energy…

The developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly transformed second language (L2) learning and assessment, and the role of AI technologies in L2 assessment have been investigated in recent research. This study presents a bibliosystematic analysis of AI-assisted L2 assessment. Using both systematic analysis and bibliometric…

The introduction of computing education into curricula worldwide requires multi-year assessments to evaluate the long-term impact on learning. However, no single Computational Thinking (CT) assessment spans primary school, and no group of CT assessments provides a means of transitioning between instruments. This study therefore investigated…

This article presents a series of practitioner-focused identity "snapshots" drawn from interviews with experienced teachers of English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) working in Australian schools. It supports pre-service and early-career EAL/D educators in understanding the lived realities of Australian EAL/D teaching…

Background/purpose: This research aims to explore the extent to which student teachers' introverted personalities influence classroom management during an internship program. Many student teachers with introverted traits may face difficulties in managing classrooms due to limited verbal interaction, anxiety and challenges in handling disruptive…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between students' social-emotional behaviors and their later academic outcomes from a person-centered perspective. To better inform social-emotional learning intervention practices, a person-centered approach was used to identify students' social-emotional behavior profiles based on…

Robotic therapies are receiving growing interest in the autism field, especially for the improvement of social skills of children, enhancing traditional human interventions. In this work, we conduct a scoping review of the literature in robotics for autism, providing the largest review on this field from the last five years. Our work underlines…

Background: It is documented that children who stutter, as well as children with autism, may experience diminished well-being relative to children without these conditions. In contrast, almost nothing is documented about well-being of children living with both conditions, most likely because such children are relatively rare and thus challenging…
