Mapping the landscape of AI-driven feedback in education
Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in educational contexts to support learning, assessment, and instructional decision-making, particularly through automated feedback. While AI-generated feedback offers scalability, the rapid growth of this work has produced a fragmented empirical literature that warrants a scoping review. Method We conducted a scoping review following the PRISMA guidelines. A systematic search of ProQ…

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 (…
The development and psychometric validation of a survey to measure the subjective well-being of care leavers
Young people who age out of state care are at risk of a range of negative outcomes. In England, national data provides only five indicators of care leavers’ lives and there are no measures of how young people themselves feel about their transition to adulthood. To fill this gap a new survey to measure subjective wellbeing was co-produced with 31 care leavers. The survey was then distributed by 21 local authorities and completed by 1,804 care leav…
Challenges and opportunities for classroom-based formative assessment and AI
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational contexts may give rise to both positive and negative ramifications for teachers’ uses of formative assessment within their classrooms. Drawing on our diverse experiences as academics, researchers, psychometricians, teachers, and teacher educators specializing in formative assessment, we examine the pedagogical practices in which teachers provide feedback, facilitate peer- and self-a…
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…
The importance of early phonics improvements for predicting later reading comprehension
The role of phonics instruction in early reading development has been the subject of significant conjecture. Recently, England implemented a phonics screening check to assess the phonetic decoding of 6‐year‐old students, to ensure that all students master this foundational literacy skill and attain adequate phonemic awareness in the early years of primary schooling. Students who fail this check are obliged to retake the assessment the following y…
