Abstract Helping pre-service teachers (PSTs) develop competencies in collaborative inquiry and knowledge building is crucial, but this subject remains largely unexplored CSCL. This study examines the design process of analytics-supported reflective assessment its effects on promoting PSTs to their building. We used a quasi-experimental that lasted 18 weeks. The experimental group was class 40 who took liberal studies course with enhanced by assessment. comparison 28 taught same instructor...
GPT has demonstrated impressive capabilities in executing various natural language processing (NLP) and reasoning tasks, showcasing its potential for deductive coding social annotations. This research explored the effectiveness of prompt engineering fine-tuning approaches context-dependent context-independent dimensions. Coding dimensions (i.e., Theorizing, Integration, Reflection) requires a contextualized understanding that connects target comment with reading materials previous comments,...
The advancement of mobile device is influencing the learning activities markedly. In this study, we attempt to use augmented reality (AR) technology design and develop mobile-based English software for pre-school children in order solve problem bored students teachers' non-standard pronunciation, system able present materials including virtual pictures, meaning pronunciation words. A vivid picture will emerge when using camera identify an word on card, which improves children's interests...
ChatGPT, launched in November 2022, has gained widespread attention from students and educators globally, with an online report by Hu (2023) stating it as the fastest-growing consumer application history. While discussions on use of ChatGPT higher education are abundant, empirical studies its impact collaborative interdisciplinary learning rare. To investigate potential, we conducted a quasi-experimental study 130 undergraduate (STEM non-STEM) digital literacy or without over two weeks....
Abstract Background Social annotation has emerged as a promising educational technology that fosters collaborative reading and discussion of digital resources among learners. While the positive impact social on students' learning process performance is widely acknowledged, behavioural patterns in are underexplored. Objectives This study investigated use response behaviours activities. We also explored how behavioural, cognitive, emotional, dimensions varied based their patterns. Methods...
This study examined variations in the discourse characteristics, dynamics and developmental patterns of epistemic emotions collaborative interactions displayed by high- low-performance groups. We analyzed 1,469 Knowledge Forum notes from three high-performance four groups, we found that different performance groups exhibited significantly characteristics. The group demonstrated more conducive less unconducive contributed higher-level moves than did group. A lag sequential analysis revealed...
Abstract Mobile learning has been a very popular topic in the past several decades. As more patents this field have submitted, analysis of surfaced as an important mechanism to understand trends, uses, targeted audiences and other aspects mobile space. Based on CNIPR , USPTO Espacenet databases, paper provides from 1976, when first patent emerged, 2013. One hundred thirty were analyzed two dimensions: instructional dimension (including target audience, situation purpose) technology style)....
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) perform poorly in complex fine motor skills and recognition, they have difficulties learning multistep skills. Gestures-based games, which enable users to get timely feedback, learn from failure, engage games at every moment, interact computers intuitively become promising tools. However, relevant empirical research on using gesture-based assist the of children ASD is limited. With a case study method, we aim examine effects ASD. Two matching were...
Abstract Knowledge Building has been advanced as a pedagogy of engaged learning where students identify community whose purpose is to advance their shared ideas. This approach, which studied for three decades (Scardamalia & Bereiter, in: K. Sawyer (ed) Cambridge handbook the sciences, University Press, 2014), includes cognitive, social constructivist, and emotional elements (Zhu et al. in User Modeling User-Adapted Interaction, 29: 789–820, 2019b). paper investigates how refining...
Social-media-based teacher learning networks have the affordance to grant flexibility of time and space for teachers’ professional learning, support development sustainability social networking, meet their just-in-time needs exchanging knowledge, negotiating meaning accessing resources. However, most existing research on online relies qualitative methods self-report data. There is a lack study using quantitative large networks, especially authentic data from media. This work adds literature...
Abstract Background Undergraduates' collective epistemic agency is critical for their productive collaborative inquiry and knowledge building (KB). However, fostering undergraduates' challenging. Studies have demonstrated the potential of computer‐supported approaches, such as KB—the focus this study, reflective assessment to foster agency. Objectives This study used a quasi‐experimental design examine impact on mechanisms impact. Methods An experimental class, comprising 40 undergraduates,...
This study assessed the effectiveness of rehabilitating children with autism a series Leap Motion-based applications in special school setting. Experiment was carried out according to an AB sequence. Experimental result showed that two participants' fine motor skills improved significantly, and their recognition colors fruits after intervention 100%.
