Cognitive learning complexity identification of assessment questions is an essential task in the domain of education, as it helps both the teacher and the learner to discover the thinking process required to answer a given question. Bloom's Taxonomy cognitive levels are considered as a benchmark standard for the classification of cognitive…

This study examined the impact of a second language (L2) on how event phases are categorized. The aim was to test how strong a boost the L2 system provides when learners are trained to classify events in a new way. The targeted linguistic contrast was the grammatical expression of change-of-state events in progress, available in English but far…

Self-injurious behavior (SIB) is inherently problematic because it can lead to injuries, including those that are quite severe and may result in loss of function or permanent disfigurement. The current study replicated and extended Rooker et al. (2018) by classifying the physical characteristics of injuries across groups of individuals with…

Michael Young has written extensively about "powerful knowledge" as the type of knowledge that should be central in education: knowledge that is -- among many other things -- reliable and potentially testable, that helps us understand the natural and social world, and offers us a language to engage meaningfully in moral and political…

Researchers are often reluctant to rely on classification rates because a model with favorable classification rates but poor separation may not replicate well. In comparison, entropy captures information about borderline cases unlikely to generalize to the population. In logistic regression, the correctness of predicted group membership is known,…

Fixation is one of the major obstacles that individuals face in creative idea generation contexts. Several studies have shown that individuals unintentionally tend to fixate to the examples they are shown in a creative ideation task, even when instructed to avoid them. Most of these studies used examples formulated with high level of specificity.…

Two semi-structured parental interviews are available with algorithms developed to measure DSM-5 criteria of ASD, namely the Developmental, Dimensional and Diagnostic Interview (3di) and the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO-11). The main aim of this study was to examine the agreement between classification…

In this paper, we studied different automatic short answer grading (ASAG) systems to provide a comprehensive view of the feature spaces explored by previous works. While the performance reported in previous works have been encouraging, systematic study of the features is lacking. Apart from providing systematic feature space exploration, we also…

In a mixed-methods study on poverty in Germany, we conducted qualitative interviews and collected quantitative data on ego-centered networks using a name-generator approach and a single set of respondents. Based on the qualitative data, we first developed a typology of negative ties and then evaluated which of these ties the name generator (on…

Digital games are among the most common reasons children use the internet, and the time children spend playing digital games is increasing day by day. This research aims to identify the characteristics of the digital games most preferred by children, while also examining their digital gaming habits. The study was conducted using a qualitative…

The study aimed to verify the psychometric properties of the emotional-style scale and explore different clusters of emotional styles. An emotional style scale was completed in three districts of western Taiwan using stratified random sampling. The study confirmed the reliability and convergent validity of each subscale in a sample of 712…

This qualitative study explores the strategies employed by Black male principals to foster and sustain parent engagement in urban charter schools with a predominantly Black student body. Grounded in Epstein's (1995) typology of parent involvement and Bass's (2020) theory of Black Masculine Care (BMC) reveals that these principals leverage their…

Although mobile technologies are commonly used to support language learning, there is a lack of research to comprehensively determine the acceptance, readiness, affordances, and challenges in this area. To address this gap, this systematic literature review selected 49 articles indexed in the Scopus database between 2013 and 2022. This study found…

The available classifications of self-regulated learners may not be applicable to second or foreign language writing due to the contextual nature of self-regulated learning. This study intended to fill the gap by exploring the profiles of English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' writing self-regulation and their association with…

This paper explores the number marking challenges faced by L2 learners of English whose L1 is one of the classifier languages Mandarin Chinese (henceforth Chinese) or Bahasa Indonesia (henceforth Indonesian). It examines whether these groups differ in their marking of English number, and how the speaker's level of proficiency, as well as…
