This report is part of a suite of documents produced under the heading of Working Paper 2, which has been prepared for "The Skills Imperative 2035: Essential Skills for Tomorrow's Workforce" research programme. This report presents results for some "Alternative scenarios" which have been developed to explore the range of…

As a first step toward automatic feedback based on students' strategies for solving histogram tasks we investigated how strategy recognition can be automated based on students' gazes. A previous study showed how students' task-specific strategies can be inferred from their gazes. The research question addressed in the present article is how data…

A significant activity in the business analytics process is enrichment, which deals with acquiring and combining data from external sources. While different strategies for enrichment are possible, it can be accomplished more efficiently through automation using Python scripts. Since business students may not be immersed in technology skills and…

Background: Rapid automatised naming (RAN) has been found to predict children's reading and arithmetic abilities. However, the underlying mechanisms for its involvement in the two abilities are not clear. This study examines how RAN shared variances with domain-general and domain-specific abilities in predicting reading and arithmetic in Chinese…

Automatic Speech Scoring (ASS) has increasingly become a useful tool in oral proficiency testing for Second Language (L2) learners. However, limited studies investigate the alignment of ASS indices with the Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency (CAF)--the three dimensions in evaluating L2 speakers' oral proficiency, and the subsequent impact indices…

Learning resources are quite important for online learning while resource provision based on algorithms could not address learners' ubiquitous needs well. Moreover, the structure and content of resources are pre-defined which makes the "Structure" and "Content" coupled closely and could not easily adjust when learners' needs…

The programme outcomes are broad statements of knowledge, skills, and competencies that the students should be able to demonstrate upon graduation from a programme, while the Educational Taxonomy classifies learning objectives into different domains. The precise mapping of a course outcomes to the programme outcome and the educational taxonomy…

With the increased rigor of academic standards, high expectations of academic writing skills have been imposed on students in U.S. K-12 schools. For English learner (EL) students who cope with the dual challenges of learning rigorous subject matters and developing their English language proficiency simultaneously, extra support and effective…

Technology plays a vital role in career-readiness education, equipping students with the skills necessary for success in the modern workforce. This Spotlight will help readers learn more about workforce readiness after-school programs; explore strategies to get girls more interested in STEM careers; investigate the benefits of virtual work-based…

In recent years, our schools have faced the necessity of creating a new school administration system, which would provide a good basis for electronic management. In this article, we will show how an electronic school management system works, and we will track the teachers' opinions from our school regarding the use of the electronic school…

Mobile learning has extensively influenced students' learning gains and motivation due to the hardware and software development of mobile devices and applications in recent decades. On-the-go learning increases the capacity for flexible and joyful learning and guarantees access to the instructional content anywhere, anytime. Despite their…

Programming and automation continue to evolve rapidly and advance the capabilities of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. However, physical computing (the integration of programming and interactive physical devices) integrated within biomedical contexts remains an area of limited focus in secondary STEM education…

Multiple-choice question (MCQ) plays a significant role in educational assessment. Automatic MCQ generation has been an active research area for years, and many systems have been developed for MCQ generation. Still, we could not find any system that generates accurate MCQs from school-level textbook contents that are useful in real examinations.…

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, such as ChatGPT and GPT-4, developed by OpenAI, have the potential to revolutionize education. This study explores the potential benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT in education (or "educative AI"). Design/Approach/Methods: This paper proposes a theoretical framework called…

Online learning overcomes space and time constraints; however, it presents challenges in teacher-learner interaction. This study explores the potential of feedback in online formative assessment (OFA) to enhance such interactions. This study identified different types of feedbacks and analyzed the characteristics of interactions between teachers,…
