Adaptive expertise concerns the ability to respond effectively to novel and unexpected situations. This expertise is important for improving students' cognitive engagement, understanding and participation in meaningful learning. This paper presents findings on primary teachers' adaptive expertise in interdisciplinary mathematics and science using…

Based on self-determination theory, this study examines the added value of video-based discussion, which is included in a need-supportive training programme, on novice teachers' motivating style and students' engagement throughout a school year. Twenty-four teachers in the treatment condition attended a need-supportive training programme including…

Background: Vocal music is a multifaceted subject, as students not only need to master skills but also to appreciate and critically interpret the singing process. Conventional vocal music learning methods emphasise practice and feedback, but deeper learning often stems from reflective assessment, especially when students adopt the perspective of…

Even though instructional videos are often used in many areas covering a wide range of studies and applications, the lack of a common approach for the definition and classification of instructional videos results in the use of several different models for these purposes. In order to develop such a common approach, there remains the need to build a…

Video in education has become pervasive. Globally, educators are recording instructional videos to augment their students' learning and, in many contexts, replace face-to-face lectures. However, the mere act of watching a video is primarily a passive learning experience likely leading to lack of student engagement hindering learning. Active…

The toppling motion of falling chimney stacks has been the subject of a number of studies which address the interesting phenomenon that brick chimneys usually break well before they hit the ground. Modern concrete chimneys, and wind generator towers, however, are strong enough to topple without breaking and many videos of their destruction are…

In two experiments, the multimedia contradiction paradigm was used to investigate whether learners map information conveyed through the audio and the picture track of a video. In Experiment 1 (N = 85), the information conveyed through the audio track and the picture track was always consistent (control group) or was made inconsistent by changing…

Deficits in safety skills and communication place individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at risk of danger. Abduction prevention remains an understudied area. Video modeling has proven to be effective in some research on teaching safety skills to individuals with ASD. Existing research has yet to assess responding to lures from known…

This paper analyzes how learners interact with the pedagogical sequences of educational videos, and its effect on their performance. In this study, the suggested video courses are segmented on several pedagogical sequences. In fact, we're not focusing on the type of clicks made by learners, but we're concentrating on the pedagogical sequences in…

Although eye tracking has been used extensively to assess cognitions for static stimuli, recent research suggests that the link between gaze and cognition may be more tenuous for dynamic stimuli such as videos. Part of the difficulty in convincingly linking gaze with cognition is that in dynamic stimuli, gaze position is strongly influenced by…

There has been a noticeable shift in how young readers approach reading where digital literacy communities serve as much purpose as traditional literacy communities like an ELA classroom. This article offers an introduction to TikTok and BookTok as well as several methods of integrating TikTok into classrooms. As the sub-community for book lovers…

The purpose of this case study was to examine the utility of Digital Video Reflection (DVR) as a mediational tool to self-analysis; an investigation if DVR is an effective means of reflective practice for first-year teacher's adaptive expertise development. Participant was formally enrolled in a graduate-level education literacy specialist…

Researchers recommend that parents look for five benchmarks as indicators of quality educational apps (ie, scaffolding, curriculum, development team, feedback, learning theory), yet results show that parents undervalue some of these benchmarks. The current study examined if a short video-based intervention would enhance parents' value-judgements…

Despite significant capability deprivation existing among the teachers in historically disadvantaged schools in the Western Cape province of South Africa, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have had a significant positive effect on teaching and learning. In the case study reported on here we investigated the benefits of using ICTs…

Social scientists increasingly use video data, but large-scale analysis of its content is often constrained by scarce manual coding resources. Upscaling may be possible with the application of automated coding procedures, which are being developed in the field of computer vision. Here, we introduce computer vision to social scientists, review the…
