Direct assessments of early childhood development (ECD) are a cornerstone of research in developmental psychology and are increasingly used to evaluate programs and policies in lower- and middle-income countries. Despite strong psychometric properties, these assessments are too expensive and time consuming for use in large-scale monitoring or…

In contemporary societies, schools play an important role in reproducing the social system. Those who want to maintain the status quo find social reproduction desirable, while more radical scholars are critical regarding the social inequality and injustice perpetuated through this reproduction process. Traditionally, schools and families have…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT are reshaping higher education, raising concerns about academic integrity alongside potential benefits. The psychological tension accompanying the decision whether to use GenAI or not for a particular task may lead to "AI guilt"--students' moral discomfort when using GenAI for…

Student evaluations of teaching (SET) act as the primary means to gauge instructor effectiveness. Likewise, SETs provide the primary qualitative feedback to instructors via student comments. However, mostly students with strong feelings tend to write comments. Among the most recallable are toxic comments: comments that are unhelpful/hurtful in…

Much has been written about how to improve the fairness of AI tools for decision-making but less has been said about how to approach this new field from the perspective of philosophy of education. My goal in this paper is to bring together criteria from the general algorithmic fairness literature with prominent values of justice defended by…

Recent advances in AI have opened the door for the automated scoring of open-ended math problems, which were previously much more difficult to assess at scale. However, we know that biases still remain in some of these algorithms. For example, recent research on the automated scoring of student essays has shown that certain varieties of English…

Feedback is a critical component of the learning process and is essential to reinforce the effect of feedback with affective elements. Due to technological developments, providing automated feedback has become easy. Therefore, this study examined the effect of automated elaborated feedback provided with affective feedback on situational intrinsic…

The increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings is transforming the role of school leaders, reshaping how decisions are made, and introducing both opportunities and challenges. This paper presents the findings of a scoping review that synthesises the current literature on AI's impact on educational leadership.…

Open-text responses provide researchers and educators with rich, nuanced insights that multiple-choice questions cannot capture. When reliably assessed, such responses have the potential to enhance teaching and learning. However, scaling and consistently capturing these nuances remain significant challenges, limiting the widespread use of…

As modern vehicles continue to integrate increasingly sophisticated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicles (AV) functions, conventional user manuals may no longer be the most effective medium for conveying knowledge to drivers. This research analysed conventional, paper and video-based instructional methods versus a…

We present the Teacher Talk Tool, which automatically analyzes classroom audio and provides formative feedback on key aspects of teachers' classroom discourse (e.g., use of open-ended questions). The tool was designed to promote teacher learning by focusing attention and sense-making on their discourse. We conducted a feedback-response study where…

Digital platforms have become central to interaction and participation in contemporary societies. New forms of 'platformized education' are rapidly proliferating across education systems, bringing logics of datafication, automation, surveillance, and interoperability into digitally mediated pedagogies. This article presents a conceptual framework…

Because the classification saves time in the learning process and enables this process to take place more easily, its contribution to music learning cannot be denied. One of the most valid and effective methods in music classification is music genre classification. Given the rapid progress of music production in the world and the significant…

Self-regulated learning is an essential skill that can help students plan, monitor, and reflect on their learning in order to achieve their learning goals. However, in situations where there is a lack of effective feedback and recommendations, it becomes challenging for students to self-regulate their learning. In this paper, we propose an…

With the fast development of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, automatic recognition of students' facial expressions has received increased attention. Facial expressions are a kind of external manifestation of emotional states. It is important for teachers to assess students' emotional states and adjust teaching activities…
