Parental training of interactive reading often involves an experienced clinician or researcher who can provide personalized, “in-the-moment” instruction. Although such methods are highly effective, they are expensive and time-intensive, often limiting participation by busy parents. Here, we extend this approach through a digital tool designed to encourage dyadic interaction during shared book reading via a conversational agent (CA). In this paper, we describe the results of a one-month usability test of the app with N = 20 parents and their 3-to-5-year-old children. The app first provided parents with information on interactive reading strategies. During reading, it used AI technology to deliver interactive prompts aimed at promoting decontextualized conversation. Parent-child conversation while reading with the CA was nearly double that of conversation when reading without the CA. Approximately one month later, parent and child talk while reading with CA remained high. Additional analyses indicated that parents most often expanded on the CA's prompts rather than repeating them, thereby eliciting more verbal responses from children. Results indicate that CAs have the potential to enrich dyadic interactions around print books in ways known to promote children's early literacy abilities. Future directions around the scalability and efficacy of CA technologies to augment literacy practices are discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38431,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 100720"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143139776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The convergence of quantitative and qualitative findings emphasizes the pivotal role of shame in influencing parental self-efficacy in the digital realm. This comprehensive approach enriches our understanding by illustrating how societal pressures and online influences contribute to feelings of shame and self-stigma among parents. Recommendations include establishing clear digital device guidelines for parents and implementing targeted interventions to mitigate parental shame and self-stigma, thereby enhancing parental self-efficacy in managing children's digital device use.

To address this gap, we conducted a systematic literature review of 52 articles from the past 15 years that focused on technology-mediated nudges for teens’ online safety. We found that most nudges were designed for protecting teens as victims of cyberbullying in public settings, with recent trends towards studying nudges for diverse risk types and perspectives (e.g., risk perpetrators and bystanders). Most of the nudges were designed to be triggered during or after the risk occurrence, with fewer preventative approaches. Expanding upon Caraban et al.’s nudging framework, we found that commonly used mechanisms for nudges facilitated alternate actions or education, confronted youth with the consequences of risks, or involved parents. Lastly, most of the work focused on formative understanding or designing nudges for adolescents, with fewer ecologically valid evaluations of these nudges. We recommend building context-aware nudges with positive framing that can provide personalized guidance to help teens build resilience. We call for further investigation into how nudges can effectively empower adolescents in different cultural contextsby supporting autonomy and collective safety, while also confronting perpetrators and societal challenges for improved online safety outcomes. Finally, we provide guidelines to move towards realistic evaluations of nudges, and to engage with teens at every stage; from design to evaluations of online safety nudges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38431,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 100702"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143139530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A decolonial-informed critical hermeneutic literature review of 79 papers explores EE's relationship with digital technology and CCI. Thematic analysis and iterative search cycles reveal a hegemonic discourse centred on anthropocentrism, technological solutionism, and behaviour change in children, predominantly driven by economic priorities in the Global North. Non-hegemonic perspectives (particularly those from the Global South) emphasise critical perspectives on digital technology development and sustainability discourse. These perspectives advocate for non-dualistic understandings of human-nature-technology relationships such as those informed by relationally-based Indigenous knowledges, new materialisms, arts-based pedagogies, and ecopedagogies. This review has implications for EE and the CCI communities alike. Findings suggest that researchers might reconsider prioritising techno-pedagogical sustainability solutions and shift efforts first towards transforming the underlying ways of knowing and being that drive current education and technology narratives and design. By critically addressing these onto-epistemological orientations, we might stand a chance for a more sustainable and ecologically responsible future for today's children.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38431,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 100705"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142720018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach does not fulfill the potential of such integration for promoting learning. In this paper, we argue that digital literacies should not be bound to the digital realm, and present a novel approach to fully integrate CT into learning and teaching by the development of CT-infused “unplugged” pedagogical tools that are fully embedded in the subject matter. We demonstrate the advantages to student learning of these tools in two case studies from K-12 mathematics education: 1) An assistive tool for function investigation in high-school calculus – in this case, we point out to how CT skills that were implemented in the tool promoted students' problem solving; 2) A teaching unit for pattern sequences in elementary school – in this case, we show how students in the CT research group outperformed students in the other groups, and how they implemented CT to solve pattern sequence problems effectively and efficiently. We highlight that besides enhancing learning, this approach can help address the important issue of equity in education, and suggest ways to promote it via dedicated professional development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38431,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 100703"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
