A meta-analytic study was conducted of the "Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology" to understand higher education instructors use of technology in teaching and learning. Through broad searches of the years 2003-2023, 117 records were identified for initial review. After reviewing the studies and removing those studies that…

The rise of digital technologies, on one hand, has transformed the way learners interact with digital environments. On the other hand, we witness the digital divide and biases associated with it. This calls for a redefinition of digital citizenship. This prompted us to develop the Critical Digital Citizenship (CDC) Scale to assess school teachers'…

This report aims to update and broaden the understanding of teachers' experiences of teaching reading and writing as the capabilities of generative AI expand and improve. As part of ongoing research considering what it means to be literate in the digital age, the National Literacy Trust have been exploring how generative AI tools might influence,…

In 2025, National Literacy Trust wanted to increase their understanding of how generative AI tools might be beginning to influence what it means to be literate in the digital age. National Literacy Trust first asked children and young people about their awareness and use of generative AI platforms in their Annual Literacy Survey in early 2023,…

This paper explores the possibilities for student agency for multilingual learners. Drawing on sociocultural understandings of agency, the discussion provides a portrait of literacy policy across the United States and its influence on opportunities for multilingual learners during literacy instruction. Exploring past and current policies aimed at…

The purpose of this discussion guide is to support SEAs and local education agencies (LEAs) in states with assessment-related State-Identified Measurable Results (SiMRs) in communicating assessment data in ways that are useful to stakeholders, and in improving data literacy among stakeholders so they can meaningfully participate in key State…

Although the literature underscores the importance of teacher educators' roles in technology leadership, there remains a need to clearly define this concept within teacher education and to understand the attributes and practices that enable teacher educators to act as technology leaders, as well as the factors influencing their leadership in…

Background: AI can positively influence teaching by offering support for classroom management, creating inclusive learning environments, enhancing digital skills, personalizing teaching methods, and strengthening teacher-student relationships. Objectives: This quantitative research study investigates the opportunities, difficulties, and…

Purpose: Atypical temporal processing is thought to be involved in the phonological difficulties that characterize children with developmental dyslexia (DYS). The temporal sampling (TS) theory of dyslexia posits that the processing of low-frequency envelope modulations is impaired, but the processing of binaural temporal fine structure (TFS) is…

An issue devoted to foundational skills and adolescents might center the cognitive skills and practices most needed to accelerate learning. While an understanding of these--whether multisyllabic decoding, fostering comprehension through discussion, or argumentative writing--is important, in this article, we advocate for the importance of attending…

Students seek to understand the 'why' behind what they are learning in the classroom. Although answering 'why' they have to learn something can be challenging in the moment, supporting students to understand the context and application of what they are learning is essential to getting students to truly make sense of the information gained and be…

The aim of this paper is to reveal the relevance of everyday contexts for the literacy of older women with a migration history and link them to concrete places in a local habitat such as the city of Hamburg in Germany. The theoretical background is a combination of New Literacy Studies and ageing theories. The article is based on a qualitative…

Traditional definitions of literacy, often limited to reading and writing, overlook the complexity of literacy practices across cultures and contexts. This paper argues that literacy is not a technical skill but a socially situated practice that varies in meaning and function depending on cultural, political, and historical factors. Drawing on…

As South Asian international students increasingly enter U.S. higher education, they face unique barriers to asserting their full identities in their institutions (e.g., racism, cultural exclusions, and stereotyping). While prior literacy research has explored how historically marginalized students use their literacies to negotiate on-campus…

Hornberger's Continuum of Biliteracy (CoBi) model is a precursor to approaches such as translanguaging and the New London Group's multiliteracies. CoBi enables us to analyse and address language and literacy practices in education in a structured way. In this paper, I reflect on the explanatory power of CoBi in education in the Global South,…
