A key aspect of metacognition is metacognitive accuracy, i.e., the degree to which confidence judgments differentiate between correct and incorrect trials. To quantify metacognitive accuracy, researchers are faced with an increasing number of different methods. The present study investigated false positive rates associated with various measures of…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries, yet its integration into education remains underutilized. This paper advocates for embedding AI tools in curriculum design to personalize learning experiences, address diverse student needs, and equip learners with future-ready skills. By leveraging AI's capabilities, educators can create…

This study aimed to observe the competencies of pre-service mathematics teachers in designing mathematical modeling tasks. The participants were 45 pre-service mathematics teachers enrolled in a Mathematics Education Theory course at a university in Seoul, South Korea. Data were collected from surveys and task development reports. The participants…

Despite the benefits of integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education that have been discussed for decades; many teachers still find it challenging to implement integrated STEM education due to lacking confidence and experience. Numerous models and frameworks exist, but they tend to focus on enhancing teachers'…

This article presents an exploration of imagination as a fundamental and often undervalued aspect of human cognition emphasising its crucial role in fostering creativity. Acknowledging the challenges associated with researching imagination and its role in children's learning, the authors explore imagination through the lens of eight core…

Background: Educational technologies typically provide teachers with analytics regarding student proficiency, but few digital tools provide teachers with process-based information about students' variable problem-solving strategies as they solve problems. Utilising design thinking and co-designing with teachers can provide insight to researchers…

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential of virtual reality-based teacher training (VRBTT). Despite this surge, the impact of VRBTT on teacher training outcomes remains unclear and cannot be generalized from generic VR-based training approaches. This study aimed to evaluate the overall effects of VRBTT and explore potentially…

Systematic reviews have been gaining attention as a research methodology and are among the most frequently cited sources in educational sciences. However, best practices for conducting systematic reviews in educational sciences are still evolving. We conducted N = 12 qualitative interviews to learn from experienced systematic review researchers…

There has been a recent burgeoning of interest in the power of elite private schools in the UK. However, little attention has been paid to the propulsive power of the mechanisms in place within such schools that enable and support the mobilisation of valued forms of cultural capital such as 'ease'. Here, we draw upon unprecedented access to two…

New sociomaterial and performative directions in literacy research on digital technologies and play in early childhoods may complicate the established concept of digital play. This study contributes to this line of research by empirically expanding on the concept of the postdigital. In the study, postdigital refers to how both "digital"…

In organizational and academic settings, the strategic formation of teams is paramount, necessitating an approach that transcends conventional methodologies. This study introduces a novel application of multicriteria integer programming (MCIP), which simultaneously accommodates multiple criteria, thereby innovatively addressing the complex task of…

The increasing ubiquity of digital technologies in the twenty-first century has led to calls for education reform focused on digital literacy, but what exactly does this term mean? The concept of digital literacy has evolved much since its evolution from media and new literacies scholarship, resulting in a myriad of definitions. Previous attempts…

Though online peer assessment is recognized as a critical factor in enhancing learning performance, pedagogical strategies and analysis of students' peer assessment at the group level, rather than the individual level, are underexplored. Online group assessment (OGA) focuses on assessing peer-group work in an online environment. A total of 64…

Although programming is often learned through formal instruction or self-paced tutorials, informal learning, for example, through publicly available online documentation, is also a significant resource for skill development among novices. However, many novices struggle to extract useful information from documentation. This work aims to answer two…

Students' active role is heavily emphasised in contemporary assessment research, policies and practices. Even then, students remain the objects of assessment in an era defined by accountability measures, testing and measurement: students are rarely heard on why, how and when assessment is conducted. In this way, assessment may hinder educational…
