The emergence of ChatGPT, and other generative AI (GenAI) tools, has elicited dystopian and utopian proclamations concerning their potential impact on education. This paper suggests that responses to GenAI are based on often-implicit perceptions of naturalness and artificiality. To examine the depiction and function of these concepts, Gideon…

In the field of multimedia learning, instructional videos have become a widely used tool to facilitate knowledge acquisition across various educational contexts. However, designing these videos effectively is critical to enhancing learning outcomes and minimizing cognitive overload. To address this challenge, researchers have developed design…

Multimodal learning analysis emphasizes using diverse data from various sources and forms for precise examination of learning patterns. Despite recent rapid advancements in this field, conventional learning analysis remains predominantly cross-sectional and group-focused, which is insufficient for understanding continuous and personalized learning…

Learning styles are a popular concept in the educational field, although there is no empirical evidence that matching learning materials to an individual's learning style actually enhances learning outcomes (the so called meshing hypothesis). In this online study, the meshing hypothesis was tested in a sample of prospective teachers (N = 222)…

"The Dialogic Classroom in Higher Education" is a step-by-step guide to leveraging Reflective Structured Dialogue as a pivotal pedagogical tool to boost student curiosity, engagement, and content acquisition. Learning environments where students are engaged--with instructors, with each other, and with course content--are carefully…

Vocabulary knowledge plays a critical role in supporting text comprehension and broader learning across the school day. While school offers opportunities to build vocabulary knowledge, studies have shown that very little time is devoted to vocabulary instruction at the elementary level. This may be, in part, because educators commonly report being…

Blended learning, integrating online and in-person components, has been increasingly adopted in higher education to enhance students' learning experience and outcomes. While the advantages of blended learning are well-evidenced, research has primarily focused on the online pre-learning component, neglecting the significance of in-class activities.…

Concepts contain rich structures that support flexible semantic cognition. These structures can be characterized by patterns of feature covariation: Certain features tend to cluster in the same items (e.g., "feathers," "wings," "can fly"). Existing computational models demonstrate how this kind of structure can be…

Research in mathematics education constantly oscillates between theoretical or 'Is' questions and practical or 'Ought' questions: Researchers are not only pursuing theoretical questions by investigating what those involved in the teaching and learning of mathematics do, but they are also working on practical recommendations for what they ought to…

This article engages posthuman theory to propose a rethinking of the theory and practice of relational pedagogies within higher education (HE). There has been renewed emphasis within HE discourses on the significance of relationships within learning and teaching as a means to offer a counter-view to an uncaring marketised HE system. This article…

This study investigates when and how awareness of knowledge gaps (AKG) manifests by observing the problem-solving phase of the educational approach known as problem-solving followed by instruction (PS-I). By comprehensively exploring cognitive and metacognitive process of learners during this phase and categorizing students' judgements of…

Due to the development of deep learning technology, its application in education has received increasing attention from researchers. Intelligent agents based on deep learning technology can perform higher order intellectual tasks than ever. However, the high deployment cost of deep learning models has hindered their widespread application in…

When faced with the need to transform an object, idea, or situation, people have a tendency to favor adding new components rather than removing existing ones. This is called the "additive bias." Previous research, along with historical and anecdotal examples, shows that this bias may significantly reduce problem-solving abilities and…

Retrospective confidence refers to the phenomenological experience of the level of certainty that retrieved information is, in fact, correct. Retrospective confidence judgments are examined across a range of sub-disciplines in psychology from perception to memory research, and in education and legal applications. This paper focuses on…

During language acquisition, children are tasked with the challenge of determining which words can appear in which syntactic constructions. This has been long recognized as a learnability paradox. On one hand, there are generalizations that children must learn. On the other hand, language is known for its arbitrariness, so children also need to…
