This work explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) custom chatbots in educational settings, with a particular focus on their applicability in the context of mathematics and physics. In view of the increasing deployment of AI tools such as ChatGPT in educational contexts, the present study explores their potential in generating…

This study aims to analyze the impact of cognitive flexibility and classroom engagement levels on high school students' creative problem-solving skills. The participants are 341 tenth grade students from three different high schools, along with nine mathematics teachers who have been teaching these students for at least two years. Data analysis…

Background/purpose: Collaborative concept maps (CCMs) stand out for their ability to organize knowledge and enhance retention. However, their use in higher education raises questions about their effectiveness. This study aims to evaluate the effect of CCMs on learning of students enrolled in the Master's program in Training and Supervision…

This study examines "VirtualGeo", a Mixed Reality and Generative AI platform designed to enhance U.S. geography knowledge among international students. By integrating immersive technologies, VirtualGeo allows students to engage with spatial content within an interactive digital landscape. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study…

As AI increasingly enters classrooms, educational designers have begun investigating students' learning processes vis-à-vis simultaneous feedback from active sources--AI and the teacher. Nevertheless, there is a need to delve into a more comprehensive understanding of the orchestration of interactions between teachers and AI systems in educational…

This study investigates how task complexity affects native speakers' and second language (L2) learners', and experts' perceptions of task difficulty in writing tasks. It also explores how task complexity influences English native speakers' and L2 learners' linguistic complexity in their writing. Ninety participants performed one simple and one…

Immersive learning plays a crucial role in effective second language (L2) acquisition, but many learners face limited opportunities to interact with native speakers. While existing research highlights the importance of immersion in L2 learning, there is still a gap in understanding how Generative AI (GenAI) can provide greater access to such…

Programming education often imposes a high cognitive burden on novice programmers, requiring them to master syntax, logic, and problem-solving while simultaneously managing debugging tasks. Prior knowledge is a critical factor influencing programming learning performance. A lack of foundational knowledge limits students' self-regulated learning…

Metacognitive knowledge is essential to vocabulary learning and reading. However, there have been few longitudinal studies investigating how the breadth of vocabulary knowledge mediates the relationship between metacognitive knowledge and reading over time in a foreign language context. This study involved 361 primary school students, who were…

The present study aims to bridge the gap of validating the Vocabulary Learning Strategies in Watching Audiovisual Materials (VLSWAM) questionnaire, a tool designed to assess strategies learners use to acquire vocabulary through audiovisual content. Grounded in multimedia learning theory, the study employed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and…

This study investigates vocational students' blended learning from the perspective of the extended Community of Inquiry framework (incorporating learning presence as the fourth presence), and examine the mediating role of academic self-efficacy and self-regulated learning (two constructs that we label "learning presence?) in the effect of…

This study aims to prepare statistics activity-targeting comprehension of the arithmetic mean, consisting of worked-out example explanations through ChatGPT for sixth graders; determine situations encountered during the implementation of the activity; ascertain the effect of the activity on students' mathematics problem-solving performance; and…

Information processing in children with intellectual disabilities is crucial for understanding their cognitive development, recognizing their deficits in learning information and individualizing educational programs. The aim of this study was to explore the implementation experiences of special education teachers and elementary school teachers…

Comprehension models do not often account for the multifaceted and emotionally charged nature of reading in real-world settings. In addition, studies of how reader emotions influence comprehension often yield conflicting findings due to lack of specificity regarding the process, emotion, and task under investigation. The PET (Process, Emotion,…

The generation effect is moderated by experimental design, as are a number of other encoding variables, such that the generation effect recall is typically larger in mixed-list than pure-list designs. In typical experiments on design effects, each study list is followed by its own recall test. Rowland, Littrell-Baez, Sensenig, and DeLosh (2014)…
