Mixed Feelings About Feedback
Written feedback on high-stakes assessment has the potential to provide students with valuable advice for future assessment episodes, but when feedback has a negative impact on students’ emotions, it can negate any benefits. This exploratory study reports on the perceptions of 14 lecturers and 19 students regarding their emotions toward written assessment feedback within a university preparatory program for students at a regional university in Au…
Bridging the digital divide
Digital technology literacy, attitude, efficacy, and online engagement are important for effective teaching in a contemporary world. This study examines the connections between pre-service teachers’ (PST) self-assessed digital technology literacy, attitudes, self-efficacy, and engagement in online learning. It also explores how these aspects relate to their gender, age, and learning mode. A total of 110 first year PSTs responded to an online surv…
A comparative analysis of Foundation and early primary years mathematics curricula
Introduction: Foundational mathematics knowledge is critical for students’ mathematical development and future academic success. Methods: This study examines the foundational mathematics curricula of South Africa and Australia. These countries have dinstict educational systems and unique approaches to mathematics education. The study specifically compares the educational goals and priorities, curriculum structure and reflections on socio-politica…
Evaluating an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Model Designed for Education to Identify Its Accuracy
The growing popularity of online learning brings with it inherent challenges that must be addressed, particularly in enhancing teaching effectiveness. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers potential solutions by identifying learning gaps and providing targeted improvements. However, to ensure their reliability and effectiveness in educational contexts, AI models must be rigorously evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the performance and reliabil…
The place of pedagogy in an uncertain world
The world is becoming increasingly characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). How education systems, policies and practices respond to the challenges facing young people and their communities is of critical importance, including questions of pedagogy and curriculum in mainstream and alternative education contexts. Knowing how systems and institutions can address the challenges of a VUCA world is important in strivi…
Improving Teaching and Learning in Higher Education through Machine Learning
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), including intelligent machines, are opening new possibilities to support teaching and learning in higher education. This research has found a ‘proof of concept’ in the application of machine learning in the assessment of educators’ use of four key microskills, drawn from an internationally established framework. The analysis of teaching videos where these microskills were demonstrated multiple times in fr…
Making sense of student feedback and engagement using artificial intelligence
Making sense of student feedback and engagement is important for informing pedagogical decision-making and broader strategies related to student retention and success in higher education courses. Although learning analytics and other strategies are employed within courses to understand student engagement, the interpretation of data for larger data sets is more challenging and rarely pursued. This is concerning as data offers the potential for cri…

The impact of professional development on early childhood educators’ confidence, understanding and knowledge of education for sustainability
In recent times, Australia has recognised and enacted a range of initiatives atservice, system and community levels that seek to embed sustainability into theearly childhood sector. This paper explores the impact of a professional development(PD) session that provided opportunities for early childhood educators tolearn and share ideas about the theory and practice of sustainability generallyand early childhood education for sustainability (ECEfS)…
