In this conception, learners continually converse with AI language models and other human learners within a dynamic computational medium of internet tools and resources. Learning happens when this distributed human-AI system sets goals, builds meaning from data, consolidates understanding, reconciles differences, and transfers knowledge to new domains. Building social generative AI for education will require development of powerful AI systems that can converse with each other as well as humans, construct external representations such as knowledge maps, access and contribute to internet resources, and act as teachers, learners, guides and mentors. This raises fundamental problems of ethics. Such systems should be aware of their limitations, their responsibility to learners and the integrity of the internet, and their respect for human teachers and experts. We need to consider how to design and constrain social generative AI for education.","PeriodicalId":52244,"journal":{"name":"Learning: Research and Practice","volume":"4 1","pages":"159 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139370097","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}

There are multidisciplinary efforts in re-envisioning and redesigning learning, assessment and teacher professional development by integrating theory, practice, pedagogy, and technology. This issue comprises six articles to contribute to this progress by addressing timely research gaps by building on learning theories and design principles and bringing innovative pedagogies and technologies to design opportunities for better learning experiences and environments. Cuong Huy Pham studied Vietnamese high school EFL students’ motivational constructions through their ongoing interaction with significant others such as teachers, peers, parents and extended family members in various social settings (Pham, 2022). The notion of significant others was from a social constructivist perspective which emphasises on the on-going interaction with the learner (Vygotsky, 1978). In Pham’s article, learning was considered to occur in multiple social settings including school and other informal contexts such as at home or other places. This is aligned with the notion of “seamless learning” (Looi et al., 2010) which views learning to happen through both individual and collective efforts, and across time and different contexts. Pham (2022) identified the mediating role of extended family members in students’ learning process. The study found four key themes entailing the role of significant others in making learners become more cognisant of the value of language learning, providing financial and academic support, arousing and sustaining their second language motivation, and imposing certain pressure on their academic performance. Piyawan Rungwaraphong (2022) analysed the implementation of Induction Helper, an online learning aid to facilitate and promote Thai EFL students’ inductive reasoning ability in online learning context during COVID-19 pandemic. The article analysed the advantages and disadvantages on online learning: on one hand, online learning promoted location-independent learning; on the other hand, certain instructional approaches were restricted in online learning contexts and students need to be supported with learning aid. The results revealed four features of the Induction Helper that need to be further improved to help students with their inductive reasoning. Mohamed Belamghari (2022) studied the experiences of Moroccan university students’ emergency remote learning (ERL) during the COVID19 lockdown period. The study identified the challenges of students’ online learning which including insecurity, the absence of intimacy, technical issues and unfairness. Despite the challenges, this study provided insights on how students learned to adapt and solve problems from the ERL experiences. This is what future ready learner about: being resilient in a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) world (Chen et al., 2023).

Results revealed four features of the Induction Helper that created drawbacks and need further improvement. These include its traditional format, lack of media richness, low interactivity, and inability to facilitate students’ conceptualisation of the core principles of business writing. The study recommends modifications to improve these weak features.

The purpose of the study was to understand the process and perceived usefulness of collaborative ontology development, at a narrative and conceptual level without grades or detailed probabilistic relationships. Findings of two kinds are discussed. First, we identified a set of framework-building moves used by teachers during ontology-based reasoning. Second, we present evidence that participants perceived the ontology development process to be useful and empowering in sharpening their ability to communicate nuanced assessment arguments.","PeriodicalId":52244,"journal":{"name":"Learning: Research and Practice","volume":"15 1","pages":"73 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72676412","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}

From our perspective, agency is a necessary consequence of the process of construction and development of professional teacher identity.

We analysed these experiences using a previously published analytical model based on the positional changes that occur as a consequence of the evaluation of certain objects that are key to professional identity. Our results allow us to confirm that in the case of subjective learning experiences involving positional changes, agency is key to the consolidation of an enabling professional identity.","PeriodicalId":52244,"journal":{"name":"Learning: Research and Practice","volume":"39 1","pages":"93 - 108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85516773","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}

In March 2020, schools were closed to contain the spread of the virus amongst populations of the world. Distance learning replaced the traditional teacher-centred mode of education, thereby leaving students, perhaps for the first time in their life, to take up their own learning at a distance. While inspired from the undergraduate course of Public Speaking, this article adopted a qualitative case study approach and a comprehensive sample of 165 university students to explore the experience of Moroccan university students with emergency remote learning (ERL) during the COVID19 lockdown. The findings from this study pointed out that insecurity, the absence of intimacy, technical issues and unfairness were the main hurdles that negatively influence participants’ online learning process. Despite such challenges, other participants in this study confirmed that they learned how to adapt and solve problems during their online experience.
