Generative AI in initial teacher education
As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) becomes increasingly embedded in education, teacher educators play a pivotal role in modelling its pedagogical use. This mixed-methods study explores how pre-service teachers' perceptions and experiences with GenAI align with or diverge from those of their teacher educators in a Norwegian teacher education programme. Survey and interview data from pre-service teachers (n = 209) and teacher educators (…
Fostering children's dispositional autonomy and AI understanding through co-designing AI systems
Child-Centered AI
This forum features practitioner perspectives on designing technologies for and with communities. We highlight compelling projects and provocative points of view that speak to both community technology practice and the interaction design field as a whole. --- Sheena Erete, Editor
An evaluation of the IB career-related programme implementation in Kent, UK
This study evaluates the implementation of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Career-Programme (CP) in secondary schools in Kent, United Kingdom. Launched by the IB and Kent County Council in 2012, the initiative offered students from disadvantaged areas the opportunity to participate in a programme to prepare them for future careers and/or higher education. A mixed method design was adopted to investigate the CP’s impact on student outcomes an…
Nurturing curiosity and creativity in primary school classrooms
Creativity and curiosity are recognised as vital skills to prepare students to engage with the significant challenges and opportunities of the future. To address the research question “What practices do teachers enact with the aim of encouraging creativity and curiosity in primary classrooms?”, 21 teachers were interviewed about their teaching practices; this data was triangulated with self-captured classroom videos from 19 classrooms in nine cou…
Determinants of assessing efficiency within auditory attention networks
The attention network test (ANT) assesses efficiency across alerting, orienting, and executive components of visual attention. This study examined approaches to assessing auditory attention networks, and performance was compared to the visual ANT. Results showed (1) alerting was sufficiently elicited in a pitch discrimination and sound localization task, although these effects were unrelated, (2) weak orienting of attention was elicited through p…
