Chun-Hsin Kuo; Meng-Jun Chen; Robasa Nababan; Hsiao-Ching She – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Game-based learning (GBL) has long been recognized as an effective way to engage students in learning through games, but little emphasis has been placed on scaffolding support for students, which hinders their learning. Therefore, our design of Space Adventure GBL ties games closely to scaffolds at every stage and investigates what role games and…

Ninni Wahlström; Catarina Schmidt – Educational Research, 2024
Background: Within classroom research, there has long been agreement on the importance of dialogue and discussion for student learning. However, how the concept of knowledge influences classroom conversation needs further investigation, as this has key implications for students' active participation. Purpose: Our research sought to conceptualise…

Anne Coffey; Shane Lavery; Leigh Sinclair – Issues in Educational Research, 2024
The level of engagement of students in schooling has long been associated with the type of educational outcomes achieved. This relationship is very apparent during early adolescence. It is during this developmental period that young people navigate the transition between primary and secondary school and may disengage from schooling. The Imagined…

Al-Adeimi, Shireen; Baumann, Jennie – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2023
Dialogic talk affords students opportunities to share ideas and co-construct knowledge while developing various literacy skills such as perspective taking, text comprehension, and argumentative reasoning. In this study, we examine how seventh- and eighth-grade students in four classrooms discuss a controversial topic about changing a National…

Bélanger, Félix; Cantin, Stéphane; Archambault, Isabelle – Journal of School Health, 2023
Background: Very few studies have properly identified how peer victimization is associated with lower achievement in middle or high school. In this context, this study examined how peer victimization at the beginning of middle school is linked with subsequent student achievement. Specifically, it assessed if the behavioral, affective, and…

Christian Lindermayer; Timo Kosiol; Stefan Ufer – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Different approaches for measuring instructional quality have been debated. Previous studies based on student ratings have primarily used class-average ratings. Beyond this, the high within-classroom variability of students' ratings might indicate that instruction caters to some, but not all students. Therefore, we investigated student-reported…
