Written argumentation involves providing reasons to support the writer's stance on a contentious issue. A question arose in the study regarding how training in written argumentation would impact Thai EFL learners' ability to reason. The research adopted a quasi-experimental design. A group of English for Communication students received training in…

This study aimed to investigate research trends regarding the use of GeoGebra in educational research through bibliometric analysis. 301 articles published in the Web of Science database between 2009 and 2023 were included in the research. Web of Science database and VOSviewer program were used during bibliometric analysis. Performance analysis…

Background/purpose: The study tries to discover how predictive thinking can be incorporated into writing activities to assist students in developing their creative skills in writing learning environments. Through this study, teachers will be able to adopt a new teaching method that helps transform the way creative writing is taught in language…

Despite the recognized link between scientific reasoning, mental sets, and conceptual change, the cognitive mechanisms underlying successful conceptual change remain unclear. To explore this, we developed computer-based reasoning programs with and without mental set support to examine their effects on conceptual change in tasks of varying…

This research aimed to: (1) develop interactive multimedia to enhance performance on the National Educational Test at the basic level in Mathematics, (2) develop teachers' competency in interactive multimedia utilization, and (3) investigate the effects of interactive multimedia on student learning outcomes. The study involved two target groups:…

This article assesses the effectiveness of two active learning formats -- a fully flipped and a semi-traditional one -- for students' soft skills, such as critical thinking, teamwork, self-efficacy, and learning perception, and for students' achievement measured in terms of grades. To measure the impact on the soft skills, it uses a Wilcoxon test,…

Reading provides college students with vital assistance in their efforts to expand their knowledge base. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted reading tools have been developed with the aim of improving students' reading efficiency and reading experience. However, the acceptance of such tools and relevant influencing factors remain unknown. This…

This quasi-experimental study investigated the impacts of two instructional conditions on the fluency of learners' performance. In the first condition (strategy training), learners were provided with explicit fluency strategy training for a portion of each lesson before rehearsing versions of the speaking task for the remainder of the lesson. In…

Original version television represents not only a popular and accessible source of entertainment but also a valuable tool in foreign language learning and teaching. Building upon the potential of verbatim captions to facilitate speech segmentation and auditory word recognition, this study investigated pronunciation learning through exposure to…

This study analyzes the effect of different instructions on threshold concepts within material covering natural selection on students' use of concepts about evolution. Moreover, it examines students' use of concepts as interconnected networks when reasoning about natural selection and analyzes how these concepts relate to each other regarding…

In computer-assisted language learning (CALL), a variety of studies have explored the use of Virtual Exchange (VE) for shaping learners' cultural competence from the perspective of sociolinguistics. However, few studies have examined learners' psycholinguistic factors in this context. Since based on the dynamic complex system, students'…

Preschool children considered at risk for future reading difficulties experience unique and complex combinations of risk factors. In this exploratory study, we used latent profile analysis (LPA) to investigate the underlying classifications of children identified as at-risk for reading difficulties (N = 281) along selected cognitive,…

Creativity is a policy and practice objective for schools internationally. However, in recent OECD findings, students do not report a positive experience of creativity in their school learning, especially assessments. Similarly, research reports that teachers continue to struggle with making creativity part of the classroom experience. This…

Artificial intelligence has recently seen tremendous growth, and been applied to several fields, including the second-language domain. In this article, we share an innovative practice based on one of potential artificial intelligence technologies for second-language teaching and learning -- artificial intelligence-based content generator, which…
