Teaching reform is a key driver of paradigm shifts in education. A key question when integrating artificial intelligence(AI) into ideological and political general education courses (IPGEC) is which reform orientation to pursue. Using a case study approach and drawing on the analytical framework of constructivist learning theory(CLT), this study collected data from 12 teachers and 201 students ac…

Speaking anxiety remains a persistent constraint on second language learning, and it becomes especially visible when oral competence is assessed in public or professionally relevant situations. This study examines the structural pattern of such anxiety among 76 final-year English majors at Hanoi Metropolitan University. The aim is to compare anxiety across seven communicative contexts and to iden…

The integration of immersive virtual reality (VR) technologies into digital literacy education has become an important direction in contemporary educational research. However, despite the growing implementation of VR-based learning environments, there remains a lack of validated instruments for assessing learner engagement and perceptions of immersive digital literacy learning, particularly withi…

IntroductionThis research employs a descriptive approach to thoroughly examine teachers’ assessment strategies and their impacts on student learning outcomes.MethodsThis study used a qualitative approach. This study utilises a case study design, focusing on eight purposively selected Senior High Schools (SHSs), with participants comprising Social Studies teachers with more than 10 years of teachi…

The rapid growth of digital technologies has transformed contemporary education and increased the demand for innovative, learner-centered pedagogies. Traditional teacher-centered approaches are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of digital learning environments. In this context, pragmatism offers a relevant philosophical framework, emphasizing experience, problem-solving, and practical outcom…

IntroductionArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in educational contexts to support learning, assessment, and instructional decision-making, particularly through automated feedback. While AI-generated feedback offers scalability, the rapid growth of this work has produced a fragmented empirical literature that warrants a scoping review.MethodWe conducted a scoping review following th…

BackgroundIntraoral radiographic techniques (IRTs) are mandatory components of undergraduate dental training; however, their inherent complexity and reliance on conventional teaching may result in inadequate comprehension. Artificial intelligence–driven chatbots provide interactive, personalized learning and may enhance understanding when used alongside traditional instruction. This exploratory s…

The Slovak education system is preparing for curricular updates that are expected to support the inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI) from the 2026/2027 school year, creating a need to understand teachers’ capacity for effective, ethical, and pedagogically meaningful AI integration. Effective AI integration requires a synergy between technology, content, and pedagogy, rather than a narrow fo…

This research examines the paradigmatic shift in inclusive education within higher education, transitioning from the deficit-based clinical model paradigm toward a paradigm of difference. To support this transition, this study proposes a faculty development framework structured around six core dimensions: Epistemological Shift; Language, Expectations, and Pedagogical Culture; Inclusive Curriculum…

Measurement invariance (MI) testing is essential for ensuring valid cross-group comparisons in international large-scale assessments (ILSA). There are two major frameworks for establishing MI: multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) and multiple-group item response theory (MGIRT). This study compares the results of MGCFA and MGIRT in examining measurement invariance using survey data …

In today's dynamic and highly competitive labor market, intrapreneurship has emerged as a key driver of organizational innovation and sustainability. Universities play a crucial role in fostering the development of intrapreneurial profiles, particularly through the enhancement of soft skills among students. However, existing research has largely relied on net-effect approaches, overlooking the co…

IntroductionNational language assessments require transparent psychometric documentation to support valid score interpretation.MethodsRasch measurement was applied to operational KAZTEST data from 1,199 (listening) and 1,197 (reading) test-takers using Winsteps 5.8.3.0.ResultsBoth components demonstrated high item reliability (0.99), satisfactory internal consistency (KR-20: 0.73 listening; 0.84 …

IntroductionTechnology-assisted learning environments offer new opportunities to support inclusive and age-friendly education, particularly in skill-based domains such as music learning. This study evaluated a Digital-Intelligence-Driven Aging-Friendly Music Education model, known as DI-ADME, for piano instruction and examined its influence on technological adaptation, emotional engagement, and l…

IntroductionThere is a critical need to evaluate how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration structurally influences teachers’ self-efficacy related to students’ interactions, positive climate, involvement, motivation, classroom teaching, and guidance in resource-constrained science classrooms.MethodsA Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach was employed to analyse data co…

This study investigates Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ beliefs and practices in relation to postmodern perspectives in English Language Teaching (ELT), with particular emphasis on contextualized pedagogy, recognition of plurality, and critical reflective practice. Employing a mixed-methods survey design, data were collected from 104 EFL teachers across diverse regions of…

IntroductionNarrative skills in the preschool period serve as a key predictor of children's subsequent reading comprehension and overall academic achievement. This study aims to evaluate the impact of dialogic reading interventions on the narrative macrostructure and causal language skills of preschool-aged children.MethodsFollowing a systematic search of the Web of Science, EBSCO, and ERIC datab…

IntroductionTeacher induction programs are essential for supporting novice educators, reducing attrition, and promoting sustainable professional development. Yet, available evaluation instruments often rely solely on quantitative indicators, overlooking contextual and pedagogical dimensions that are central to effective induction. This study addresses that gap by designing and content-validating …

The increasing complexity of modern IT infrastructures requires a workforce with integrated competencies in networking, cybersecurity, and automation. Traditional laboratory models are constrained by limited scalability, restricted access, and fragmented tooling. This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of an integrated virtual laboratory that delivers isolated, high-fidelit…

BackgroundAcademic procrastination significantly hinders learning and professional development. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory, this study evaluated the extent to which research motivation and satisfaction with studies are associated with lower levels of academic procrastination among university students.MethodsA non-experimental and cross-sectional research based on surveys was employed. T…

IntroductionGenerative artificial intelligence (AI) poses significant challenges for teacher education, including information overload, unreliable information, cognitive dependency, loss of creativity, and academic integrity conundrums. This study proposes a Heutagogical-Andragogical model to address these challenges. The model is grounded in self-determined learning, peer learning, and the lever…
