Technology may help to teach adaptively. However, it is still unclear whether realizing adaptive teaching with technology is a feasible teaching practice in real-world classrooms. More importantly, it is an open question which boundary conditions constrain the feasibility of adaptive teaching with technology. We realized a four-year co-design-project in which researchers and teachers co-constructively developed adaptive teaching units (duration: 3–4 weeks) by deliberately integrating technology across secondary education. To assess the feasibility of technology-enhanced adaptive teaching, we followed a sequential-explanatory mixed-methods approach during the co-design-process. We combined a quantitative study (<em>N</em> = 183), investigating students' learning gains and potential moderators, and a qualitative study by means of semi-structured teacher interviews (<em>N</em> = 3) on implementation conditions of the adaptive teaching units. We observed that the teaching units were particularly beneficial for students with low prior knowledge and when they were highly adaptive to students’ needs. Fine-grained qualitative findings indicated that formative assessments and consolidation phases were crucial for the feasibility of technology-enhanced adaptive teaching, as well as a parsimonious use of technologies. These findings indicate that the feasibility of adaptive teaching with technology depends on boundary conditions, highlighting the need for further support to unfold the potential of adaptive teaching.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10568,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education","volume":"219 ","pages":"Article 105108"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360131524001222/pdfft?md5=2c01d46d4cf7100e15bad520de4cf5f3&pid=1-s2.0-S0360131524001222-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141595936","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}

This study adopts an automated configurational approach that integrates bidirectional encoder representation from transformers (BERT) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore the configurations of learning engagement, their connections with learning achievement, and variations across disciplines. Our analysis reveals a nuanced profile of learners' learning engagement, indicating the high-achieving individuals demonstrated more frequent posting and commenting behaviors and the high-level cognitive engagement than low-achieving individuals. Second, our analysis revealed multiple configurations where the coexistence or absence of factors at different levels of the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional dimensions significantly impacted learning achievement. Learners who conducted posting and replying behaviors, expressed positive emotions, and engaged in deep cognitive engagement tended to achieve superior learning outcomes. Third, there were significant differences in behavioral and emotional engagement among learners across different academic disciplines. Specifically, pure discipline learners were more inclined to engage in postin<u>g</u> behaviors than the applied discipline learners. Across academic disciplines, positive emotions correlated strongly with higher achievement.

However, while these models provide more flexibility to students, hybridity poses additional challenges for the specific case of collaborative learning, likely increasing the teachers' orchestration load and potentially hampering fruitful interactions among learners. In order to gather empirical evidence on the impact of hybridity in collaborative learning, this paper reports a study conducted in a hybrid classroom where a Jigsaw collaborative pattern was implemented with the Engageli software. The study involved 2 teachers and 67 students enrolled in a computer science undergraduate course. Teachers' post-interviews, questionnaires and an epistemic network analysis (ENA) were used to produce study findings. Results show that teachers reported a medium-to-high orchestration load for implementing and setting up the collaborative activities in the hybrid classroom. Among the factors that contributed most to such load, teachers highlighted the creation and live management of groups and collaborative documents. Additionally, the ENA showed that teachers put much effort on monitoring group interactions and solving technical issues.

However, for such learning tasks, there has been a lack of research focusing on promoting self-directed language learning by using artificial intelligence techniques, primarily due to the challenges of handling multimodal information involved in such tasks. To address this gap, this study introduced a two-stage automated evaluation method that employed emerging cross-modal matching AI techniques. Firstly, an automated scoring model was developed to evaluate the quality of students' responses to scene description tasks. Compared with manually assigned human scores, our model scored students' descriptions accurately, as evidenced by a small testing mean absolute error of 0.3969 for a total score of 10 points. Based on the scoring results, immediate feedback was then provided to students by generating targeted comments and suggestions. The goal of this feedback was to assist students in progressively improving their descriptions of daily-life scenes, thereby enabling them to practice their language skills independently. To assess the effectiveness of the feedback, a comprehensive investigation was conducted involving 157 students from middle schools in China, and both qualitative and quantitative experimental data were collected from the students. It is found that the quality of students' descriptions was improved significantly with the assistance of immediate feedback. On average, students achieved an increase of 1.48 points in their scores after making revisions based on the feedback. In addition, students reported positive learning experiences and expressed favorable opinions regarding the language learning tasks with the automated evaluation. The findings of this study have significant implications for future research and educational practice. They not only highlighted the potential of emerging cross-modal matching AI techniques in automatically evaluating learning tasks involving multimodal data but also suggested that providing immediate targeted feedback based on automated scoring results can effectively promote students’ self-directed language learning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10568,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education","volume":"219 ","pages":"Article 105106"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141404561","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}
