the bulk of research within the interactionist framework seems to be consensually pointing to the beneficial effects of interaction in sla. however, few studies have investigated the role of training in providing and perceiving interactional feedback, especially among young learners. this study probed the effects of training prior to engagement in interaction in case of young learners acquiring...

Ownership of science learning is defined as learners being able to fully participate in the practicing culture of science, having greater control and possession over the ideas put forth, knowledge developed, and the science learning process. While ownership is beneficial to promoting science engagement, in this study, we show that conflicts in ownership of science learning manifest and can hind...

Formal methods abound in the teaching of probability and statistics. In the Connected Probability project, we explore ways for learners to develop their intuitive conceptions of core probabilistic concepts. This paper presents a case study of a learner engaged with a probability paradox. Through engaging with this paradoxical problem, she develops stronger intuitions about notions of randomness...

One important aspect of motivation is engagement. In order to learn, students need to be engaged in the learning activities. However, that does not always happen due to various factors. This paper investigates the possibility to detect the level of engagement of a learner using an e-Learning system. More specifically, we are looking for actions that could predict it. Using log files analysis we...

This paper studies the influence of learner’s affective states on the well established EEG-mental engagement index during a problem solving task. The electrical activity of the human brain, known as electroencephalography or EEG was registered according to an acquisition protocol in a learning environment specifically constructed for emotional elicitation. Data were gathered from 35 healthy sub...
