This study tests a moderate mediation model and clarifies the mechanisms linking screen exposure to children's socioemotional competence. The objective is to examine if children's emotional ability mediates the relationship between screen exposure and socioemotional competence, and if parental media mediation moderates this pathway. Using…

Generative AI (GenAI) challenges assessment validity by enabling students to complete tasks without demonstrating genuine capability. In response to this challenge, institutions have developed and implemented various approaches that aim to communicate permissible AI use to students. Familiar examples include the 'traffic light' approach now…

This exploratory study investigates the relationship between students' anxiety and social presence (SP) in virtual exchange (VE). While existing literature predominantly focuses on a single type of anxiety in online learning (i.e., FLA or online learning anxiety), this study examines (a) the various types of anxiety students experience in…

Background/purpose: The integration of immersive technologies in education has been increasing. Such technologies include: the virtual reality (VR)-based technologies, which have raised engagement and interactivity, and foster the development of skills in academic settings. Thus, this study aimed to explore the attitudes of faculty members in…

Cybervictimization is a salient stressor in adolescents' lives and has been demonstrated to be strongly associated with depressive symptoms. However, the mechanisms underlying this association have not been sufficiently studied. Building on the diathesis-stress model and co-construction theory, this study investigated the mediating role of peer…

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used in the workplace for years. There are compulsory or elective AI courses in some universities for students to enroll in. With the wide adoption of AI in many industries now, employers also expect students to make good use of AI to enhance their work productivity and efficiency. Hence, the purpose…

The purpose of this study was to generate an item bank for assessing faculty members' assessment literacy and to examine the applicability and feasibility of a Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) approach to monitor assessment literacy among faculty members. In developing this assessment using a sequential mixed-methods research design, our goal was…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, including education. One of the most promising applications of AI in education is in the development and adaptation of Open Educational Resources (OER). COL's Teacher-in the-Loop (TiL-AI) initiative empowers teachers and TVET trainers across the Commonwealth to leverage…

This study, grounded in the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory, aims to explore how stimulus factors (school support) influence cognitive organisms (psychological resilience, self-efficacy, attitude toward AI, and acceptance of AI), which in turn enhance behavioral responses (AI literacy), while also examining the detrimental effects of AI…

Extended reality (XR) technologies can bring immersive learning experiences into the classroom, and pre-service teachers need to be prepared to use them for that to happen. As a first step, it is important to contextualize and understand pre-service teachers' experiences and beliefs about these technologies. In response, this mixed methods study…
