The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of multimedia integrated CIRC learning management plan on grade 2 students' spelling ability. The research employed a one-group experimental design in which a learning management plan based on CIRC principles, with the integration of multimedia, was used as the main intervention. The…

This study examined the longitudinal changes in kindergarten demographics and child outcomes by comparing data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey (ECLS-K) 1998 and 2011 cohorts. Results demonstrated that there were significant changes in kindergarten in general and with regard to FDK and HDK schedules between 1998 and 2011. These…

In recent years, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into instructional settings has sparked important interest in how it can develop different aspects of language learning, principally in the realm of assessment. While traditional assessment methods have long been central to evaluating learners' progress, the rise of AI tools…

Running two separate two-stage randomized trials, we implement and test three variants of a small group instruction intervention aimed at improving mathematics competencies for the 20% lowest achievers in mathematics in grades 2 and 8 in Danish public schools. We calculate immediate impacts on math competencies as well as impacts in the medium…

This paper explores the complexities of co-authorship involving generative AI in academic contexts, focusing on an honors English class where students engaged with AI tools like ChatGPT. It critiques the boundaries of authorship as defined by COPE, which argues AI cannot be an author due to its lack of accountability. The study explores the…

The purpose of this registered report study was to determine the effects of explicit text structure instruction on the expository text comprehension of students with language and learning disabilities (LLD) using a multiple baseline design across conditions (e.g., compare-contrast and cause-effect) and participants. Participants included four…

Peer feedback has been recognized as a crucial strategy in enhancing L2 writing skills and performance. It addresses common challenges faced by students, such as grammar and spelling errors, limited expression ability, and cultural differences. Peer feed-back and feed-forward are two major approaches to providing peer feedback. However, existing…

Background/purpose: The use of AI in EFL writing instruction has been identified as a potential way of improving learning outcomes. Nevertheless, there are concerns about overreliance, cultural limitations, and the inability of AI to measure creativity and emotional tone. This paper aims to investigate the opportunities and challenges of applying…

Physics, even though it is guided by simple principles, tends for many topics to be obscured in the mathematics redundancy. MATLAB®, as interactive software for computer algebra, has already had an important impact on the way physics is taught by educators. It has also had a substantial impact on the way research is performed by students to…

The research examines the concept of consciousness from a materialistic and idealistic position and clarifies the essence of the concept of moral consciousness. The authors give a brief overview of the problem of forming moral consciousness of schoolchildren. The authors describe the influence of the humanities and natural sciences on the…

Oral practice is challenging for foreign language education, and Corrective Feedback (CF) is often used to point out learners' pronunciation errors and to help them improve their oral skills in foreign language courses. CF is generally considered as a necessary condition for foreign language acquisition, and "reflection" and…

In the context of globally integrated education, the last decade has seen a significant rise in bilingual primary schools across China. This development has led to the recruitment of an increasingly diverse group of international teachers to deliver English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. These EFL teachers introduce a wide array of…

This longitudinal mixed-method study investigated effects of the reading-while-listening mode on the incidental learning of two dimensions of vocabulary knowledge, namely receptive knowledge and productive knowledge, in a Chinese EFL classroom context. Additionally, EFL learners' attitudes toward the reading-while-listening mode of incidental…

There is compelling empirical evidence suggesting that more authentic learning tasks improve second language learners' motivation and learning (Long, 1996; Van Lier, 2014). However, most research on this topic has focused on Germanic and Romance L2 languages, primarily in the context of speaking skills. Little is known about the effect of task…

This study investigated the development of syntactic complexity in second language (L2) learner essays, focusing on how key syntactic features evolve as L2 learners practice writing through the use of an automated written corrective feedback (AWCF) tool. Using a corpus of essays written across three writing sessions, five indices of syntactic…
