  • Leveraging generative AI to facilitate peer feedback in collaborative argumentation learning

    Open Access•Yubei Chang, Qingtang Liu et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2026

    Peer feedback is crucial for promoting deeper thinking and interaction. However, various challenges exist in conducting high-quality peer feedback in collaborative argumentation learning. Generative AI (GenAI) has shown potential for supporting peer feedback, but how GenAI can be efficiently applied to support peer feedback needs to be further explored. In addition, the effect of GenAI-supported peer feedback on argumentation performance and feed…

  • Using multilayer network analysis to reveal the regulated learning characteristics between the learner groups with high and low levels of socially regulated learning

    Open Access•Qingtang Liu, Xinqian Ma et al.•ARTICLE•Educational Psychology•2026

    Regulated learning in collaboration involves interactions among self-regulation, co-regulation, and socially shared regulation, yet empirical evidence on how they interact to support collaboration remains scarce. This gap arises because regulated learning is complex, covert, and multilayered, and previous methods have limited capacity to capture such intertwined dynamics. This research employed multilayer network analysis to empirically investiga…

  • Disruptive talk in online collaborative discussions: Profiles and their impact on cognitive engagement

    Open Access•Shuang Yu, Junmin Ye et al.•ARTICLE•Interactive Learning Environments•2026

    Online collaborative discussions are vital in education, promoting student interaction and knowledge construction. However, disruptive talk – such as interrupting the discussion process, being perfunctory about the task, or attacking other members – can impede collaboration and cognitive engagement. This study analyzes disruptive discourse profiles among 47 engineering students and its impact on cognitive engagement. We used content analysis meth…

    Xiaojuan Li, Qingtang Liu et al.•ARTICLE•Asia Pacific Journal of Education•2025

    One measure of the effectiveness of a blended synchronous classroom (BSC) is the quality of interpersonal interactions. However, qualifying the complex dynamics requires more than frequency analyses of verbal behaviours. This study used a multimodal discourse analysis framework to describe the dynamic coordination of interpersonal interactions in a BSC. The results showed that task ownership types affect the conversion between different interpers…

  • What factors influence scientific concept learning? A study based on the fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis

    Open Access•Jingjing Ma, Qingtang Liu et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Educational…•2025

    This research employs the fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method to investigate the configurations of multiple factors influencing scientific concept learning, including augmented reality (AR) technology, the concept map (CM) strategy and individual differences (eg, prior knowledge, experience and attitudes). A quasi‐experiment was conducted with 194 seventh‐grade students divided into four groups: AR and CM ( N = 52), AR and n…

    Open Access•Yu Gao, Linjing Wu et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Computer Assisted…•2024

  • Exploration of the characteristics of teachers' multimodal behaviours in problem‐oriented teaching activities with different response levels

    Open Access•Qingtang Liu, Xinxin Zheng et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Educational…•2024

    Problem‐oriented teaching (POT) activities are important in classroom instruction. The level of student response can be influenced by different teacher behaviours in POT. However, the characteristics of teachers' multimodal behaviours at different levels of response are unclear. This study applied epistemic network analysis to explore the characteristics of teachers' multimodal behaviours in POT with different response levels. Using 256 POT segme…

  • Anatomizing online collaborative inquiry using directional epistemic network analysis and trajectory tracking

    Open Access•Shen Ba, Xiao Hu et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Educational…•2024

    Accurate assessment and effective feedback are crucial for cultivating learners' abilities of collaborative problem‐solving and critical thinking in online inquiry‐based discussions. Based on quantitative content analysis (QCA), there has been a methodological evolvement from descriptive statistics to sequential mining and to network analysis for mining coded discourse data. Epistemic network analysis (ENA) has recently gained increasing recognit…

  • Applying Augmented reality to enhance physics laboratory experience: Does learning anxiety matter

    Shufan Yu, Qingtang Liu et al.•ARTICLE•Interactive Learning Environments•2023

    Augmented reality (AR) recently shows great potential to facilitate students’ learning, especially their learning performance and motivation.
