We conducted an experimental study, comparing two groups (feedback vs. no feedback) of English-as-a-foreign-language learners in lower secondary schools (<em>N</em> = 189). The learners completed a writing task and revised it with or without feedback. A second writing task served as a transfer task. Performance was automatically assessed using a scoring algorithm. To determine the level of learners’ behavioral engagement during the text revision, we used the revision time and the edit distance (i.e., a similarity measure) as behavioral measures. Our analyses showed a positive effect of feedback on text revision. We found a full mediation of the effect of feedback on text revision through revision time with an estimated portion of mediation (POM) of .63∗∗∗ and a partial mediation of the feedback effect on text revision through the edit distance with a POM of .30∗∗. We did not find significant mediation effects of either engagement variable regarding performance in a transfer task.

The GALE Scale is a 21-item five-factor model created by conducting an exploratory factor analysis with survey data from 516 literacy teachers in the central United States followed by a confirmatory factor analysis with data from another 516 teachers. While participants generally agreed that digital games can support student learning, they reported limited integration of games in their classrooms, and only 12.2% agreed they learned about game-based learning in their teacher preparation program. Given the efficacy of digital game-based learning across disciplines demonstrated in meta-analytic research, literacy teacher education and professional development on effective uses of games in literacy learning are warranted. Further, scholars can utilize the GALE Scale to examine teachers’ views on digital games and literacy learning across time and contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10568,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education","volume":"223 ","pages":"Article 105155"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142168623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, this study aims to address this gap by examining the effects of facial animacy in anthropomorphised designs using a 3 × 2 design (none vs. static vs. animated) based on self-reported measure (SRM) and facial emotion recognition (FER) and how both measures are associated. The findings revealed discrepancies between both measures, with mostly moderate to weak correlations between hypothesised associations. SRM results indicated that face animacy decreased perceived boredom, while static and dynamic anthropomorphised designs increased curiosity. The FER results revealed notable similarities between designs without anthropomorphism and the static versions, highlighting that facial animacy led participants to express more joy and less neutral expressions. Additionally, neutral expressions were associated with lower enjoyment perception, while negative emotions, especially boredom, were linked to reduced attention.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10568,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education","volume":"223 ","pages":"Article 105150"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142162522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How the online teacher and the on-site teacher co-teach in blended synchronous teaching and learning, as well as its effectiveness on student engagement, remains unclear. This paper presents the results from a sequential research design from the teaching presence perspective to shed light on the characteristics of co-teaching presence and its effect on student engagement in the blended synchronous classroom. In study one, qualitative data collected through ethnographic observation and interviews exhibited how the co-teaching presence was created and its elements: instructional design and organization, facilitating discourse, direct instruction, assessment, supplementary instruction, organization and management, and affective support. Study two was a quantitative study that applied a self-report questionnaire to 268 students to further verify the effects of elements of co-teaching presence on student engagement. Based on hierarchical regression analyses, the results provided evidence that student engagement benefits from collaborative teaching; the on-site teacher's affective support had the greatest influence on sustaining student engagement.

In BSCs, the quantity and quality of interactive teaching behaviours of urban and rural teachers may significantly influence the learning experiences of students in both urban and rural settings, and they are supposed to be different from interactive teaching behaviours that happen in traditional classrooms. However, there is limited research on the characteristics of such interactive teaching behaviours in BSCs. To address the gap, this study first proposed an interaction analysis framework for BSCs (IAF4BSCs) and then examined the interactive teaching behaviours of urban and rural teachers in BSCs using this framework, along with various learning analytics methods including lag sequential analysis, frequent sequence mining and thematic analysis. The data analysis yielded the following results: (1) Urban teachers exhibited more speech behaviours such as lecturing and providing immediate feedback, whereas rural teachers engaged more in non-speech behaviours like classroom patrols. (2) Despite the expectation for urban teachers to interact equally with urban and rural students in BSCs, they predominantly focused on urban students. (3) Urban teachers demonstrated diverse interaction sequences with both urban and rural students, whereas rural teachers primarily interacted with rural students. (4) Interviews with teachers and students revealed both positive and negative aspects of interactive teaching behaviours in BSCs. Based on these findings, the study proposed three pedagogical recommendations to enhance interactive teaching behaviours in BSCs: increasing interactive participation, integrating technology more effectively and emphasizing post-class assessment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10568,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education","volume":"222 ","pages":"Article 105152"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142144173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has shown students have difficulty in moving across, connecting, and sensemaking from multiple representations. There is a need to develop task-specific representational competencies for students to reason and conduct scientific investigations using multiple representations. In this study, we focus on three representational competencies: 1) linking between representations, 2) disciplinary sensemaking from multiple representations, and 3) conceptualizing domain-relevant content derived from multiple representations. We developed a block code-based computational modeling environment with three different representations and embedded it within an online activity for students to carry out investigations around the earthquake cycle. The three representations include a procedural representation of block codes, a geometric representation of land deformation build-up, and a graphical representation of deformation build-up over time. We examined the extent of students' representational competencies and which competencies are most correlated with students’ future performance in a computationally supported geoscience investigation. Results indicate that a majority of the 431 students showed at least some form of representational competence. However, a relatively small number of students showed sophisticated levels of linking, sensemaking, and conceptualizing from the representations. Five of seven representational competencies, the most prominent being code sensemaking (η<sup>2</sup> = 0.053, p < 0.001), were significantly correlated to student performance on a summative geoscience investigation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10568,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education","volume":"222 ","pages":"Article 105149"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142099481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study addresses this research gap by conducting and analyzing semi-structured, in-depth interviews with eleven high school teachers and sixteen high school students about their expectations for PAs' communication capabilities. The interviewees identified relational and task-related communication capabilities that a PA should perform to communicate effectively with students and scaffold their learning. PA communication that is simultaneously affirmative and relational can induce immediacy, foster the relationship and engagement with a PA, and support students' learning management. Additionally, the teachers and students described the activities and technological aspects that should be considered when designing conversational PAs. The study showed that teachers and students applied human-to-human communication scripts when outlining their desired PA communication characteristics. The study offers novel insights and recommendations to researchers and developers on the communicational, pedagogical, and technological aspects that must be considered when designing communicative PAs that scaffold students’ learning, and discusses the contributions on human–machine communication in education.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10568,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education","volume":"222 ","pages":"Article 105140"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360131524001544/pdfft?md5=c520da576e95149eec31f7a64f9033d2&pid=1-s2.0-S0360131524001544-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142089139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
