To reveal its new evolutional production pattern and the interaction mechanism of different generative topics, We take a dual perspective of content and behaviour into consideration. A total of 1855 interactive data points were collected from a connectivist massive open online course. The study employed methods, such as latent Dirichlet allocation, content analysis and lag sequential analysis. Results showed that (1) the paths of knowledge innovation were complex and diverse. The process typically began with an ill-structured question and was driven by collective contribution and cognitive conflict.

Intervention (<i>n</i> = 30) and control groups (<i>n</i> = 20), comprising children with neurodevelopmental disorders, and a group of typically developing (TD) age peers (<i>n</i> = 106), completed six emotion discrimination tasks. ABA research design was applied in this study. Prior to the game intervention, children with neurodevelopmental disorders were significantly delayed in relation to their TD age peers in all tasks. After playing the game for two months, the children in the intervention group had significantly improved their emotion discrimination skills in four tasks, whereas the control group had significantly advanced in only one task without practice. Intervention gains were maintained at the one-month follow-up.

However, extensive sensory stimuli could also compromise learning through sensory overload. In museum settings, visitors who are inundated with excessive stimuli such as unrelated background music or competing visual options may not experience optimal learning. This mixed-methods study addressed this potential problem by exploring the impact of sound on learning, enjoyment, sense of presence, and the development of interest among museum attendees (<i>N</i> = 255) who used two different types of technology: high-immersion VR or a tablet. Results from a one-way MANOVA revealed that learning and sense of presence were unaffected by the technology used unless sound was added. Using a tablet with sound lowered the sense of presence. Participants in the VR condition with or without sound had significantly higher enjoyment scores than those in either tablet condition. The development of interest was not significantly affected by any condition, regardless of whether sound was used. The research findings have implications for implementing VR for learning in museum settings. For instance, VR can enhance a sense of presence in museum exhibits, but a sense of presence may be significantly diminished when museum visitors use tablets with sound. Additional recommendations for the use of multimodal VR in museums are provided.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner notes</h3>\u0000 <p>What is already known about this topic\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>VR can support an immersive and engaging experience for users.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>VR is more immersive than tablets.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>When designed effectively, sound can increase immersion and engagement.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>When integrated into the visual environment, sound can add authenticity to the learning content.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>VR can complement museum exhibits as it allows museum visitors to extend their learning experiences.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 <p>What this paper adds\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>VR enriched with sound can significantly and positively impact sense of presence.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Compared with a soundless VR exhibition, VR enriched with sound enhances engagement of museum visitors by drawing their attention to the content of the exhibits.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>VR with and without sound can support learning and ","PeriodicalId":48315,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138686994","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}

Previous studies have indicated that students' media multitasking behaviours in class harm their academic performances, and understanding the reasons for college students' engagement in such behaviour is meaningful. However, the literature takes media multitasking behaviour as an audience behaviour, which ignores the interaction between students and their surroundings. This study fills this gap by emphasizing the role of the social learning process. A survey was conducted in a public and comprehensive university in western China, and a total of 457 valid respondents were obtained. The results from PLS-SEM revealed that college students' in-class media multitasking behaviours were influenced by both observational learning (ie, imitating others) and reinforcement learning (ie, in-class interventions), and this learning process was shaped by students' media multitasking self-efficacy and self-management of learning. These findings contribute to the current literature by providing a relatively new perspective for understanding college students' in-class media multitasking behaviours, and suggestions about how to deal with such behaviours are also provided.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner notes</h3>\u0000 <p>What is already known about this topic\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>In-class media multitasking behaviours (ICMMBs) damage college students' academic performance.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>College students' ICMMBs are affected by individual factors, such as internet addiction and sensation seeking.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Social learning theory is widely adopted as a general theoretical background to explain those behaviours of which possible consequences are easily observed no matter from others or from individuals themselves.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 <p>What this paper adds\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>This work enriches the media multitasking literature by investigating the predictors of ICMMBs from a relatively new perspective, that is, the social learning perspective.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>This work also contributes to the literature on media multitasking by examining how the social learning process of college students' ICMMBs differs across students.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>This work extends the application scope of social learning theory to the context of college students' ICMMBs.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 <p>Implications ","PeriodicalId":48315,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998152","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}

However, there are few validated research instruments for educators to examine how secondary students develop and perceive their learning outcomes. After reviewing the literature on AI literacy questionnaires, we categorized the identified competencies in four dimensions: (1) affective learning (intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy/confidence), (2) behavioural learning (behavioural commitment and collaboration), (3) cognitive learning (know and understand; apply, evaluate and create) and (4) ethical learning. Then, a 32-item self-reported questionnaire on AI literacy (AILQ) was developed and validated to measure students' literacy development in the four dimensions. The design and validation of AILQ were examined through theoretical review, expert judgement, interview, pilot study and first- and second-order confirmatory factor analysis. This article reports the findings of a pilot study using a preliminary version of the AILQ among 363 secondary school students in Hong Kong to analyse the psychometric properties of the instrument. Results indicated a four-factor structure of the AILQ and revealed good reliability and validity.

Personalized scaffolds have been proposed to be more beneficial for learning due to their adaptivity to learning progress and individualized content to learning needs. The present study investigated finer-grained effects of how personalized scaffolds driven by a rule-based artificial intelligence system influenced SRL processes, especially how students learned with them. Using a pre-post experimental design, we investigated personalized scaffolds based on university students' real-time learning processes in a technologically enhanced learning environment. Students in the experimental group (<i>n</i> = 30) received personalized scaffolds, while the control group (<i>n</i> = 29) learned without scaffolds. All students completed a 45-minute learning task with trace data recorded. Findings indicated scaffold effects on students' subsequent learning behaviour. Additionally, only scaffold interaction correlated to essay performance and suggests that the increase in frequencies of SRL activities alone does not contribute directly to learning outcomes. As guidelines for real-time SRL support are lacking, this study provides valuable insights to enhance SRL support with adaptive learning technologies.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner notes</h3>\u0000 <p>What is already known about this topic\u0000\u0000 </p><ol>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Self-regulated learning scaffolds, especially adaptive scaffolds, improve learning.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Personalized scaffolds have effects on self-regulated learning activities.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Past research focused on aggregated effects of scaffolds.</li>\u0000 </ol>\u0000 <p>What this paper adds\u0000\u0000 </p><ol>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Investigates how students learn with personalized scaffolds in terms of frequencies of learning activities and scaffold interaction.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Takes a closer look at which learning activities and when the effects of personalized scaffolds occur.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Examines how finer-grained effects of personalized scaffolds correspond to learning outcomes.</li>\u0000 </ol>\u0000 <p>Implications for practice and/or policy\u0000\u0000 </p><ol>\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":48315,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjet.13414","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138519647","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}
