Studies have shown that peer evaluation is effective in improving learner feedback literacy and quality. However, evaluators have few opportunities to express their views in traditional peer evaluation. This study introduced backwards feedback based on traditional peer evaluation and constructed a dual-cycle peer evaluation model to enhance…

Student agency is a key feature in feedback practices. Student feedback agency is generally defined as students' active engagement in the feedback process. Its conceptualisation has evolved from individualistic views, through unidirectional structure-agency perspectives, to more socially oriented approaches. However, this commentary argues that…

The interpersonal emotion regulation of principals has rarely been examined as an independent issue, although it has been widely recognized that educational leadership is an emotional endeavour situated in an interpersonal context. This study aimed to understand how kindergarten principals engage in interpersonal emotion regulation by examining…

The growing popularity of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools presents new challenges for data quality in online surveys and experiments. This study examines participants' use of large language models to answer open-ended survey questions and describes empirical tendencies in human versus large language model (LLM)-generated text…

Item response theory (IRT) encompasses a broader class of measurement models than is commonly appreciated by practitioners in educational measurement. For measures of vocabulary and its development, we show how psychological theory might in certain instances support unipolar IRT modeling as a superior alternative to the more traditional bipolar…

Across career development and academic advising literature, scholars describe a common and unsettling tension between when to challenge and support students' goals. Many programs of study include selective admission or gateway prerequisite courses. Students may also need to modify their goals while pursuing competitive employment or graduate…

This paper outlines the emergent findings and theoretical foundations of "Reading Climate: Indigenous literatures, English and Sustainable Futures," cross disciplinary research in Indigenous Studies, Education, and Literary Studies. Our team investigates epistemologies for the teaching of secondary subject English and tertiary courses…

"How do witnesses make identification decisions when viewing a lineup?" Understanding the witness decision-making process is essential for researchers to develop methods that can reduce mistaken identifications and improve lineup practices. Yet, the inclusion of fillers has posed a pivotal challenge to this task because the traditional…

Survey organizations aiming to improve response rates in the later stages of fieldwork often attempt refusal conversions. However, reestablishing contact with units that have refused participation at prior stages of fieldwork may prove costly and time consuming. In this article, the potential of using a refusal conversion procedure in a single…

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of mandala design training on the sensory, cognitive, and emotional perception skills of 8-10-year-old children with specific learning disorder. The study had a randomized-controlled design and was conducted in an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 28…

This study investigated the optimal feedback intervals for tasks of varying difficulty levels in online testing and whether task difficulty moderates the effect of feedback intervals on student performance. A pre-experimental study with 36 students was conducted to determine the delayed time for providing feedback based on student behavioral data.…

A trigger warning (TW) is a statement designed to caution individuals about upcoming content that could evoke distressing emotions. The majority of students promote the use of TWs and believe them to be helpful and their use is becoming more commonplace amongst instructors (noting that instructors also sometimes avoid teaching or discussing…

Feedback seeking is a proactive process through which students solicit performance-relevant information from their environment. Students' motivation to seek feedback predicts their related perceptions and behaviours. However, the motivational rationale for feedback seeking in higher education is not well understood. Here, we investigate the…

Purpose: Digital platforms and apps utilize a range of engaging features, structural guidance and algorithms to create and sustain immersive experiences. While immersion is crucial for captivation, initial adoption and early app use, limited research has explored its role in post-adoption behavior and habit formation. This study investigates these…

Previous research has found that people miss a large proportion of targets that appear rarely. This Low Prevalence (LP) Effect has implications for applied tasks such as mammography. The current study investigated whether the LP effect can be reduced by feedback and internal incentives, which affect motivation. Experiment 1 found that miss errors…
